Alongst Poems

A zombie’s sleep revives, necromance alive,
in faith works alongst, though the undead are amongst.

The Lost Tango

I know you had made me dance that night.

You must have
Twirled me around;
My surprised body whirling 
Alongst yours in a daze.
Your hand must have
Circled my shy waist;
My hesitant bosom crushing 
Against your cotton-shirted chest.
My awkward hands must have hung
Timidly at your back;
My two-left-feet tangling
With your firm, sure steps.

But its funny how, you know
I remember none of those things.
All that's left now
Are just snapshots of smells-
Of the Old Monk on your breath
And those endless cigarettes,
Yesterday's aftershave
Melting into today's sweat.

A Dedication To Charles Fuller

Magic, upon a revolving stage

Alpha and Omega....

Walking alongst the well trodden paths

Dangling arms and dangling hands?!

An endless procession, ready to believe

To become, and, to be....

The court jester, standing at the gate

"There's always more," he says

Smiling, as he takes their hands!?

"And over there you shall find, the play

Hurry on now, you shant be late"....

Bobbing heads and bouncing feet

Ready to believe, to become, and, to be

Hypnotized, by all they see?!

Alpha and Omega's....

A Black Rose

Peeling away crimsons petals upon this black made rose

Given unto myself long ago, amid a bouquet of thorns

A cold and bitter day within, the winter of my tilling youth....

Tears like blood dripping from cancerous roots

Its prevalent poisoned stem attached unto 

My weeping Spirit ~

Crawling through the carnage of this carnal flesh....

Botanical biological bulimia, winding its way alongst

The metaphoric paths; these thickets wherein it thrives

Resolute arrangements, from the beginning of soiled time

Time, peeling away paragons petals laced in carmine....

Wildwind

" WildWind "

This wind does howl with glee it so seems~
'Cross me bows & alongst me beams~
Wild abandon seems so such her realm~
Challengin' now to stand fast at me helm~

Aaarrrgh! Says me to this wind o'wild sea~
Drat yer random gusts & whirls gallantly~
Sail we will through & through such you send~
Our sails & spars you're tempted to rend~

HarHo! We go! Wild as yourself~
Faster than even a mighty winged elf~
For so you now see we do love such a glee~
As that which is given by wind & wild sea~

Down blue waves & up to white clouds~
Such whirlin' wind as does shake back our shrouds~
Yet stand fast we shall & hold her helm well~
That all must hear just one great ship's bell~

For 'tis true upon blue & oceans so grand~
Such as found now may be ne'er o'land~
Only 'twas that which had us a'fright~
'Twas thought o'sailin' seas we ne'er might~

Now we feel your grand tempest abate~
What so then did you thus create~
Naught but a shiver at back o'me neck~
Blow again wildwind~ Blow 'cross me deck~

The Empty Stage

Magic, upon a revolving stage

Alpha and Omega....

Walking alongst the well trodden paths

Dangling arms and dangling hands?!

An endless procession, ready to believe

To become, and, to be....

The court jester, standing at the gate

"There's always more," he says

Smiling, as he takes their hands!?

"And over there you shall find, the play

Hurry on now, you shant be late"....

Bobbing heads and bouncing feet

Ready to believe, to become, and, to be

Hypnotized, by all they see?!

Alpha and Omega's....
