Best Prometheus Poems

Death by gypsy violin
Will push you out then pull you in
Requiem for a burning pyre
Raising twilight ashen choir

Up beyond that frozen place
Up beyond all time and space
No hungry knife shall clip thy wing
No wild wasp shall fires sting

Thus, these thoughts did prod and pry
His love,...

there will be a baby crying 
in the next room, but not yet
people are still standing around
my bed and I'm still on my last breaths
they won't leave until I have gone
a brown leaf about to fall

I remember the white foam of waves
not rampaging bulls in...

" A close friend was betrayed by one of the Chiefs
and was tortured to death by being roasted slowly while strung up
high on a tree branch.
His misery was rich. 
His name was Red Spirit in English.
I'm very proud of the Roman's achievements in law and...

There I was, in His presence,
like a pebble in a pond, surrounded & submerged in Satan's spirit,
I was safe though,
safe as sin in a liar's heart,
no threat of abduction, no bargaining for soul,
intimidation felt more like explorative excitment,
curiosity carried my conscience to conception of privilege...

" She was born in 219 A.D.,
I met her in 235 when she was 16 years old.
I was working hard with her father as a mercenary
from a Belgium territory, trying to persuade a chieftan named Horaic
to attack the Roman garrison west of the river.
Tamitha had...

One day in my shop, as many before,             
there appeared a beggar at my back door.   
His dirty old hand held a small wooden box, 
very old, broken, and missing its...

I kept up with the questions as Lucifer stared into a vacancy
which the echo of a star explosion could disappear into,
but I constantly felt Him paying attention to me despite the hallway of History,
do you really buy souls,
as though I failed at something He said,...

" Mephistopheles became a river whose current flowed in the wrong direction,
he believed that suffering could be eradicated from life,
absurd as lead being wieghtless,
his deviance led him to challenge my hegemony in the meditterranian world
during the climax of ancient Rome.
He became obsessed with silly theories...

In It,  I Saw Prometheus Chained And Bound


I was reading Salinger's, "Catcher In The Rye" 
A follow up from Leo Tolsty's,  "War and Peace"
I heard a voice say, "seek wisdom before you die"
Remember this, courage was a mainstay of Greece
And dear ole Mark...

Oh Gaia! 

Raiment of earth tones hath met her mighty 
Titan of Words! He decries the title of heathen, 
yet clamors for that elusive angelic female spirit

Diffidence one of my key trademark characteristics.

To gaze on your form
reveling in lassitude
ankles crossed
arms cradling a lolling head,

is to know mystery.

Unwritten tomes
etch the surface of furrowed brow.
Eyes arrayed in perpetual humor,
the brawn of chest rising and falling

speaks only of peace.

To gaze upon your form
in wonder such a precious gift.

Maleness...

They stole your light
The fire that you worked so hard to attain
Now lies in the hands of greed.

Your sacrifice lives on,
A testament to the ability that my kind can twist;

They call it civility.
Its fuel is conformity, a chain that shackles the...
