Hold Those Tears Falling From Sullen Skies

Hold those tears falling from sullen skies
floods below, drown the sorrows of lost men.
Enough that mother earth hears thy sad cries
angelic sorrow, weep thou not in sin.

Remain thee stalwart, life may reverse tides
heaping on thee, joy in sweet future...

A breeze that once lay cool in morn,
is face of death as dark was born.
On pebbled beach and under guise,
from sea to shore destroyed broad wise.

Great sullen wind awoke this night
and made old oak tree tremble fright.
Though might in years, he stood and shook
for death...

She spurs me on
Like a violent wind.
She howls to me in the night
Like a siren.  
Her light is red as blood.
My flesh is cold as steel.

Sweet dew is a nectar.
She gathers it with teacups,
Stirs it with a bent finger,
Tastes the life-blood of earth,
Singing silently...

in the depths of dreams
there lurks a sullen shadow
dreadfully daunting

an alter ego
with the face of transgression 
tirelessly haunting...

"Loving and losing: 
          Different only by one letter and a million degrees of pain."

Sullen Sylvia sadly 
Departed deeply devestated by 
Her husband's heartless 
Departure for a deadly damsel...

sullen faces on everybody like mannequins
stale and plastic like their thoughts
bouncing from one to the next  
rooted in envy of the guy in the public 
parking lot , who happens to be the 
one that is so witty, they go home 
to their bomb...

Coats of rain clouds there
No swaying braids on the skirt
Idle butterfly...

Sullen

Sullen and soft
Concealed with comfort
Brilliant and beautiful
We share together
Strength and character
Yet so fun
That’s my girl
Capturing my emptiness
Paddling my heart
Complex like rainbow
Beautiful beyond sunset
In case you meet her
Stay away from my girl
Best beware
She stole my heart
Her name is Adeola
We stay in the same hole
This I swear
None...

i watch the eagle soar
through this crimson hued sky
as i inhale 
this sultry air
and gasp

a new day is dawning
yet my thoughts linger
as i clutch memories
of yesterday's now past

i can't grasp these thoughts
twisting through my head
like vines on old trees
as they hold on tight
choking words
like a...

A new sadness came over me,
So unlike any, I had before....

When all 
Is said
And written
For someone 
So smitten
By poetry
And prose
Thus Propositioned
Now
Back to yore
Is this
The end
A surprise
On page turn
When all possible
Combinations
Of thoughts
Ideas
And words
Make the palette greyer
And the snorting bore
Sullen...

Who is to claim this sullen heart?
These frozen lands,
These charcoal trees,
These crooked lanes,
That lead to walls,
Of gold and lead?
Who dares to claim this sullen heart?

A scarecrow guards a barren field,
‘ been here too long
been here too long…
no crow to scare not anymore.’

Whose eyes are those...

Friar of dark night
sullen glances brief broadcast
the unholy moon

Emerges from shadows loom
hidden clues to Satori...
