Best Levied Poems

Constance, my friend, like you, "I am a dreamer,"
treading on "the pathless path" of fate
tending to the "scars on my soul."

"Memories" have you "looking inward,"
writing "poems that take my breath away,"
lamenting how "rainy day blues" have levied their toll.

You've shown me "the beauty of morning...

I can see us now Luv,
pettin ponies, musing in warm moon light,
free versin in satin style, a smile born from genuine form,

Two hearts too stubborn for apologies or effigies of maybies,
sunburned by stardom, kingdom of monsters fathomed,
forlorned by the "Cloak and Dagger" of fox hunt...

A battlefront benefactress,
She has her fortress, a fortified Princess, inside the dungeon of distress,
Tiled with the bone chips of ingratitude colored in pigments of black bright & rugid red,
An arrowhead chandelier illuminated by wicked tears, wet with woe,
Everybody saw her wedding dress, they all knew...

I am sorry for the fights
we had when you shared my bed.
And the ever-present doubt
that constantly filled my head.

Every flirtation festered,
poisoning my heart and soul.
And amidst the suspicions,
depression levied its toll.

The pain of your betrayal
has torn my whole world apart.
And I have not stopped crying;
since...

Once again as my pen fails the page
In a humble but sincere effort
To honor my loving sage

As I ponder and attempt to deduce
In a low, soft chuckle, “more than words”
My rhetorical excuse

By function; words exact, color and define
And with Webster’s sword levied I chase
Definition of...

“Wind Song”




When the rain came it raised a torrent
music, little by little, raised the levy
light pebbles rolled over one by one
took with them 
all their 
flotsam and jetsam
leaves ferrying Black Ravens carried on

Brook babbling
listened to the birds scrabbling
singing -
“I am the one!" 
"I am the...

Can a man – all alone - foist a god upon his fellows
Even if it’s only himself
And they his subjects

G.. is Akbar!

Does the muezzin from the minaret of Qoutoub-Minar
look up or
down to the illiterate savant emperor
whose newly-ordered cosmos
much as Tamerlane and Genghis Khan's blood
mixed gods
invented...

In the heat of July, 
While bringing in the hay, 
He gave her a baling wire ring, 
And this is what he had to say... 

     “Someday I’ll put a diamond, 
Here on your hand. 
A diamond pure and perfect, 
As...

THE FLOOD…

Testing his role as a friend,
he bluffs his way past mistakes.
Believing friendships end,
he oft gives less than he takes.

Much like a jester of old,
his wit is honed sharp and quick.
And he struts, cocky and bold,
with guile and a tongue too slick.

Chasing love and doing dope,
his...

Dawn gilds the fringes of the night
as shafts of sunlight pierce my eyes.
And I wake to a world of light,
free from drugs, delusions, and lies.

My body bears old scars of shame;
but I'm finally free again.
And Sol rises, a ball of flame;
defeating darkness rife with pain.

Tears...

 Soul my soul in me 
Black and white keys
Dominate, the Rapsody
Celestial Holy energy
I receive huggINGly
Abreast and believingly
Above all things,
Glorious harmonies, we sing
~
Ivory cares;
Level yes;
Heartbeats in chest;
Soul my soul breathe;
Rainbow colors black and white,
Embraced colors ivory black N white;
Lovers of melodies prominent
 ~
Lo! music love...

Eternal as the sea's unceasing roll
our love is real; it's not just pretend;
let us hold hands and take a moonlight stroll.

Although the sands of time levied a toll,
rather than break; our hearts learned how to bend,
eternal as the sea's unceasing roll.

Death assumes life will relinquish...

Lured by your heart, I discovered your soul;
an ethereal spark, it drew me in,
allowing me to relinquish control.

When we first met, my heart was far from whole;
but slowly, I felt the healing begin,
lured by your heart, I discovered your soul.

Although my future seemed as black...

In the red desert of the rising sun  
In the surrealness of its silence  
The sky turned grey and ominous  
Amidst the blackened  rain   
As the suns fell into the morning sky  
Beneath the trembling ground  ...
