Barbarously Poems


Love is a Phoenix

Love is a phoenix,
Barbarously burning,
Longing and yearning,
Mysterious mystics. 

To love is to die
And rise once more 
From the ashes to sing the lore
Of love, until the blood gets dry. 

Love is velvety and richly red,
Its silky stains stay sincere,
Tragic turmoil it may appear,
Miraculously Maroon love's words bled 
Just like the wings that phoenix shed. 

Love is moral and immoral,
It is autumnal and floral,
It is right and it is wrong,
As sweet as a phoenix song. 

Flames of love are so sacred,
Smouldering and smoking,
Until its victims are utterly choking,
Isn't it enriched and intoxicated!

Love is a phoenix, 
Beautiful and basking,
Only giving and never asking.

If I Were a Vinyl Record

wispy grooves of sound
playing on dusty, conical flat lungs 
scratching the meat off 
a chalk board of 
throat burning fumes
 
I abuse my recall of 
better days

hands at throat 
contorting fingers curling up 
to barbarously dig
for more required air 

life seems harshly longer 
when you can't inhale

the gasping sounds 
play over and over 
bringing tears to one's eyes 
as if the power of death's tune 
was invited willingly   

what a master peace of sound 
the echos of a squeezed  life 
being drawn to a 
painful untimely sad death

with a spinning head 
that goes around and around 
till vomit runs from a embittered mouth
and leaves you with a pungent taste  

the taste of murder 
the kind, that plays out 
playing out in some kind of illness

smelling like the dusty air is on fire
