Burning The Midnight Oil Poems

Fire


Dramatic much? One would think you were 
the flame of Passion.
Shall I re-introduce you so that you can make 
your entrance again?!
In your flashy clothes, that you 
wisk down your runway, whoosh.
Are you gonna tell it once more, how the...Read More

Words like Sanskrit curses, 
Verses to burn the paper, 
As their eyes burning the midnight oil. 
Darkness sculpted into poetry. 
Of broken dreams and living nightmares. 
Poems for the rebels and skeptics. 
Poems that say everything about a life that...Read More

an inner conflict dust brew
within this scribe, who offers ye to chew
(like sweet treats metaphorically) thee do
tee incumbent, when Doomsday clock 
     counts down minutes few

I wonder what it could be
The glowing merry marble
Curve of my masculine hands and legs
That draws them to me like bees to honey. 

I stand here for their eyes to drink up
Like a mirror hanging on the wall
Yet all that...Read More

Hungry For Heaven

you struck a chord yet deep within
 white lines that filtered through my brain
 the lover in life is not the sinner
 the less that you give your a taker

 through the head of a small child learning...Read More

There are people who
live in the fast lane,
Swim upstream
Enjoy the fruit of their labor
riding on the coattails of the devil,
Chase rainbows and find the
pot of gold awaiting at the end.

I wonder…
Are you one of them?

I, for one,
I mostly followed 
the...Read More

Ecologists seem more aware
than economic and political scientists
and capital and democracy leaders of state investments,
of the remarkable multi-functionality of natural systems,
like trees,
and river valleys
and their forests
with canopies of shade
enlightened from above by sun,
glimmered by moon and starlight,
creating energy,
nutrition,
predators and prey,...Read More

A swarm of bees
 insects, butterfly's & snakes
 Left helpless again down on my knees
 To digest hate into loves reality

 It all started with an apple in the garden
 the Eve was suddenly deceived
 Blinded by the fatal cost...Read More

There is a line being drawn in the sand
 try to understand
 Many equate logic for fear
 I shed a single tear to numb the pain

 We each are given a voice with a choice
 many insist on lust instead...Read More

I'm up before you,
I'm up after you,
Burning the midnight oil
As if I didn't toil.

Burning the wick
On both ends,
No wonder I'm
Always sick.

Roy's very silly
Always "willy-nilly"
Playing with no 
Rhyme or reason.

He bull-dozes us
'Til we want to cuss,
Then they're both
Up at two,
So what...Read More

Greed is for the weak

Greed is for the weak.
Those who fail to act but speak
Because talk is cheap.
They tend to hate those on success trip,
Forgetting whiles those on success trip were burning the midnight oil, they were asleep.
When you are...Read More

Success never depends on
The way you dress or speak
What it demands for
Is your happiness at its peak!

It never comes to a person
Who thinks of himself to be the best
Life instead proves to him that
Over confidence has made him an unwanted...Read More
