The Tale Of Lemuria, Master Poe, Pen And I

Its birth a shake of Neptune's golden trident
Its glow a diamond glitter on the moon
As stars bow to its powers resplendent
Ghosts of Avalon's truth, dance...

I signed a contract with the state
to use my body as they will.
My mind they did manipulate.
In the name of freedom, I would kill.

I never questioned right or wrong.
Obeyed all orders without thought.
I strove to be Army strong.
My loyalty and heart were bought.

The flag I...

At my ripe age it's plain to me
That wisdom can come painfully

               But found within our trouble, too
             ...

~Marionette Master~    

All my dreams evolve around my wooden floor
Candles and clowns the show must go on

The Moon slowly moves its way into my room
Dust pushes through my window making shadow puppets on my walls
The talent on my walls dance, scaring my...

Forget about futuristic wars
between nations, race against race
country against country
tongue against tongue;
soon the populous will know no
borders, continents no boundaries.
“The New master”
Is awakening manoeuvring
stalking, his plan already activated
The twenty second century will
see his bidding become
formidable, the pocket, whims,
thoughts and desires
will be his to regulate, what

The Bloodstone, The Raven And Master Poe,
Part One


The ancient stone, here Raven bled
Cursed and flew away alone
To follow the dark and make its night-bed
Unholy accursed path, bloody the stone
From the abyss, into light of the earth
With Fate and anger, its darkest of hands
A beast reborn...

Once upon a time there was a puppet master.
Who was very lonely and wanted something to love.
So he decided to make the heavens and the earth.
Earth was empty and dark.
Then he made the light into a big ball called day.
The darkness called night.
Later he put...

When I’m craving a well-plotted story
with a strong theme and creative rhymes,
I can say I have found masterpieces
here on Poetry Soup many times.

Give me characters, real or imagined,
that will speak to me right from the page

To be Jack of all trades
But a master of none,
As my memory fades
Still, some do come.

To be master of one
Like poetry or art,
And know how it's done
Is love from the heart.

As I stare at the wall
Shall inspiration turn up?
Does my muse hear me call
Will she...

This cup is for you
for bluffing yourself 
and for thinking you know me,
here’s to you for pretending to care 
and make me believe that you do,
here’s to you for 
being the puppet-master
in the puppet show,
which is my life
I would like the strings back
before they are...

A master of deception;
For I am...black ice....

Passive in passion, taking in the sweet scent of the bloom
Milks the serenity of an environment, within nature
Rides the ferocious wind that formats the raging ocean

Rhyme Master


Should I hearken or heed
From bondage I’ll be freed
For, Beat, Rhyme and Song
To Angels they belong!
