She, The Young Rose Was Set To Bloom

young rose set to bloom
dawn's light awakens my soul
beauty in red shines

Her graceful dancing brought on great applause.
I was unworthy, bad temper the cause.

As her eyes spoke to my sad, longing heart,
Crystal...

Night’s shadow lours upon the world
And the streets are silent like the
Netherworld—without a single
Morning soul to be seen or heard.
But amidst the dimness is a lone
Lit nest serving toffee flavored coffee,
And as the jukebox sings “Do I Worry” ,
Wistful...

There was a time so carefree we were.
Time we had more than enough!
A blue sky meant a sunny day.
Our eyes with merry would dance 
Thinking of another day in a cave;
A fascinating world compared 
To the insipid one we lived.

There was a time so carefree...

FIRST CORINTHIANS ONE THIRTEEN SET TO POETRY

If everyone on earth understood what I was saying but I didn't love others as well
then i'd most probably spend eternity in hell
if I was a prognosticator and could tell everyone everything but didn't love my brothers what would...

"Set To Sea"                  

No more rain that taste like tears...
Took my sorrows that I buried in years...
Placed them in a bottle and sent them to sea...
Hoping the tide...

if this is how I'm set to die
alone and in this room
id rather that you close the door
of this imposing tomb

I lay my head against the stone
and all throughout the tomb
I watch as I see images
of my impending doom

So there I try to close my...

A blue pen, on a white page.
With red and light blue lines,
Three holes and “fuzzies.”
The story of my life.

The story that begins with, and ends with,
Tears.
The story that is filled with pain,
Hatred, love, romance, abstinence...
Laughter, sadness, heroism, and helplessness.
The story that has only just begun.
Who...

Grumpy all the while

housing all the bile

building on hate pile

calling all vile

distanced by  a mile

missing  all the smile

hemmed in an isle

All  set to derail....

Crippled
A blanket spread across this lonely land
Comfort for this desolate snow drift
But when peace is disrupted
The blanket shifted
And with the soothing kiss of time
The scar shall be brushed into the past
Then the fog would lazily settle
This detested sloth of nature
A spineless giant
A slave of gravity
With...

Pale lingering light horizon to define
twilight's last vestige of mighty sun's shine
Moonlight shadows in star diamond sky
in night veiled moonlight go stealth passers-by
Whispering woods radiate foreboding dark night
this silent black void embraces sheer fright
Charcoal trees inky black invite abounds
nocturnal eyes prowl for prey with no...

No man nor beast can survive,
In a climate meant to deprive.
Barren of hope and loss of scope,
Where no one gets out alive.

Seeking a place to reside,
Full of contempt and pride.
You've followed a path, guided by wrath,
That destroys the goodness inside.

Lost in a forest of shame,
Looking...

Gone we are this day you'll see ~
Off away to nether lands ~
Gone we are to sail with glee ~
Aboard her now a'come all hands ~

With them then such all sort stuff ~
Carried down to dock a'blow ~
Mate say now 'tis quite enough ~
That ye...

Take me to the distant places

Take me far beyond the sky

To embrace the broad horizon

Where both my wings can fly

 

Take me to a place of courage

Far beyond a place of fear

To unfold my true formation

Sailing forth to seas sincere

 

Set to rise with true...

The story of my life
Still in construction, still in progress
But I say to you now
It's a nightmare
It's a nightmare so last, so long
I dread for waking up
I'm afraid to wake up
My only comfort is sleep so I won't have to dream at all
I wish I...
