lay your head close your eyes,
time for your soul to unwind,
but thousands of thoughts roll through
your mind,
will sleep be able to come tonight or will it
allude me like the stars in the daylight,
is it my own selfishness or the worry for
my loved ones that leaves me with unrest
it's the deepest darkest feelings locked
away inside this chest,
no skeleton key can pick this lock because
it has only one way in one way out,
my biggest fear is that it will never get out
In the midst of the night
I stir then awake
With cloudy visions in sight
I can still taste the crumb cake
A far fetched fantasy
Full of hopes and dreams
That my brain allows me to
see
With an endless amount of
themes
To fly the night sky
Soaring up and above
A true bliss body high
With a feeling that's hard to
speak of
I try to channel my thoughts
Let my heart lead the way
Through the masquerade of
plots
In their beautiful bewilderingly
array
All connected like a knot in
crochet
Are these sub realities in my
dreams
So remarkable in their display
That are fragile at the seams
Everlasting aren't these
moments
That take away my breath
A puzzling time of events
That keep me from my death
In here I search for the key
Lost within this paradox
For the door of true reality
A society values detox
Did I really just awake?
As I lay here in my bed.
Is this world around me all
fake?
Or am I still lost inside my
head?
Splenderous scent, dazzling emerald eyes, smoke and flames, melting with desire.
Red lights flashing, I'm on fire, crashing through the mirror, Danger zone! I'm under
her spell, magical fingers touching me everywhere. Suciside curves, long red hair
wrapped around my body, reeling me in, soft angel skin, oh such a sin.
Leather and lace, satin and silk, can't catch my breath, don't have a clue where's up
or down. One thing for certain, I'm in melt down, all gages are red, looks like I'm in
over my head. Can't focus my eyes, heart is thumping like a giant jack hammer. Time
to pull the rip-cord, I'm bailing out, screaming I love you in an echoing shout.
Landed on the floor right next to my bed, sweat on my forehead, wild eyed looking
all around. Don't smell a thing, don't hear a sound. Was all this a dream? Can't
figure it out, do know this, it was eerily real. I cruised the Danger zone, oh man
what a thrill!
It was thinking
you could erase me,
that made you fall
into your first mistake
I am a mother of poems
I am the sister to word,
the daughter of a great
I am an untold story
without a name
all calls absorb silence,
but a slip of thought
will redeem all
you think me simple
something to toy with,
when other distractions
pale into insignificance
a sleeping dragon
rests in the cave
of my heart, wisps
of smoke consume me
like a rain of fire
my words will spill,
to burn your eyes
and all they mirror
One night at 12,
When everyone was asleep,
i covered myself with a blanket,
and started to read.
One night at 12,
when there was silence all around,
cool breeze blew
made me shiver with cold.
One night at 12,
when dark were the clouds,
i saw the moon shinning,
brighter looked the twinkling of stars.
One night at 12,
when dogs were barking on the streets,
i heard a voice within
that made me feel glee.
One night at 12,
when the dry leaves seemed walking,
and books seemed talking,
i realized that something was unique.
That night at 12,
beautiful seemed the silence,
and i realized that
study is nothing other than violence.
That night was special,
marked as history,
when i met real me,
which brought a big difference within me.
That night at 12,
i was alone in my room,
but was surrounded
all by my thoughts.
That night at 12,
i realized something,
something that made me meet
the REAL person within me..!
This poem was written based uopn MTC's Challenge 21 - to write about
vampires!
She has a strange sense of mystery about her,
the way her porcelain white skin
almost glows through the darkness,
as she peaks of times long past,
as if she were there.
yet her eyes,
so dark, so deep, so sensual,
draw me to her.
On this hot summer night,
her cool, strange touch
releaves me from the heat,
and draws me closer,
down to her red satin sheets,
where we make surreal love
for hours,
as she leads the way.
She nibbles my neck,
teasing me,
with her eroticism.
Suddenly I feel her
deep piercing lunge
right down to my soul.
Yet, still aroused,
I let her have her way with me,
until I pass out;
pass away,
and float endlessly
in the unknown,
rememberng always,
her cool, strange touch.
Clone of me - different dimension
The worlds surround just as ours
Asleep I dream but she awake
As I awake she drifts to peace
déjà vu as she did before creeps
Appears as a spirit as spirit in me
Reborn optional as a picture I create
Darkness never falls upon believers
Potent thoughts drive me overload
Seeking answers to a mystery upon all
Time reveals under the shadowed cloth
My eyes are shrouded by the cloak of slumber
Misty waves lapping at the corners of my thoughts
Washing away the realities of yesterday
Replacing them with opaque themes and visions
I ride the cresting waves of my imagination
Succumbing to vague images thrust upon me
Snippets of a dream state world unfold
Carrying me along without protest
Like ocean tides, they reach a crescendo
Propelling me through clouds of fantasy
And just as quickly they are gone, retreating
Stored once again in the closets of my mind
I wake and sense the remnants of my journey
Unable to recapture where I’ve been
They tease me with subtle recollections
Preserving them until I dream again
Lend me a word
most frequently heard
and give me a sound
vibrations unbound
pass me a rhyme
searching for time
years slowly pass
through dark stained glass
paint me a shape
that will not escape
a prisoner of mind
you'll never find
wish on a star
not very far
Bright sunny days
with diminishing rays
a rain drizzled rose
sunsplashed toes
tread gently my friend
where eternity ends
I am an eagle
My keen eyesight envision greatness above
I dread not the dark distance
I brace myself and fly higher still
For there is glory on that higher plane
I was meant to be a part of it
I am an eagle
Soaring higher makes me finer
Dear God,
If thy essence remains in me
And I'm made just like thee
Grant me lord my very wish
To soar like an eagle
I contemplate the deep blue sky
While lying in the sun baked grass
And wonder what it is about the summer
That makes me such a lazy ...
Let's start over ...
While lying here in the sun baked grass
I contemplate the deep blue sky
And wonder what it is about the summer
That makes me such a lazy guy
Better!
Where once were clouds in skies of gray
With rain and snow falling out of it
Bringing on fits of depression
And really making me feel like ...
Umm, scratch that...
Where once rain and snow did fall
From clouds in skies of gray
Bringing on fits of depression
And completely ruining my day
Okay, that will work.
Now resides the deepest blue
A gift to bring me luck ...
Maybe I better stop right there!
Now resides a sign of luck
A gift of the deepest blue
Made even better today
Cause I lay here next to you

Just like football
I am going to be chased in life's game
by a bunch of ladies
as if playing a football match.
I am going to be chased in life's game
they will rush just to touch me
as if playing a football match
receiving me gently in the chest.
They will rush just to touch me
the goalkeeper among them
receiving me gently in the chest
will give me sure kisses.
The goalkeeper among them
I am going to love her
will sure give me kisses
soft like a feather's touch.
I am going to love her
though I may get occasional kick
soft like a feather's touch
that is part of the game.
Though I may get occasional kick
I must forget the pain
that is part of the game
with so many cute ladies around.
I must forget the pain
I will be so sought after
with so many cute ladies around
everyone wanting to hug me.
I will be so sought after
by a bunch of ladies
everybody wanting to hug me
just like a football.

So many bridges to cross before I get home
My mind starts to wander my spirit shall roam
The rivers seem wider the hills too steep
The still water is getting way too deep.
So many bridges to cross to get back to you
The sun dries the grass of the cool morning dew
I'd give you the sun, the stars and the moon
I think I might be there arriving quite soon.
So many bridges to cross wonder if I lost my way
There's some misunderstanding of just what I say
Just like a ship that leaves the safety of the bay
The vast ocean before me seems to get in my way
So many bridges to cross maybe I've come to the last
So many behind me they seem to fill up the past
I just need a place but it escapes me somehow
So many bridges to cross I better get going now.
A month ago I thought perhaps I just couldn’t change
The unfamiliar haunts me and makes me feel strange
But I can say today for certain as if it were a fact
Please don’t close the curtain this is not the last act.
Somehow I learned how to embrace what was new
In the back of my mind I always knew what to do
Something held me back and I’m starting to see
I need to just drop my guard and learn to be me.
The things that I learn are not like what I know
When you start to see the difference you start to grow
I’ve always had a plan for the next step I would take
Yet I just return back with the decisions that I make.
So I decided that I don’t need to be in control
All of the stress and sorrow were taking their toll
I decided to accept whatever life may bring
The possibilities are endless it could be anything.
Though the curtain falls I know this is not the end
The love you shall receive shall equal what you send
It all comes down to just how you will react
As the curtain falls this isn’t the last act.
Cool liquid drizzles down from the skies
upon the riot of hues and tints
that stretch forth from verdant fields
I see crimson colored rhodos,
crepe paper orange poppies, and
sunshine daffodils
each distinct in it's own form and fashion
decorated to grace the backdrop of my mind-
such a beautiful and lovely day
perfect for lazing around and soaking up the sun
counting clouds as they melt by
until the afternoon
juxtaposes itself against the blanket of the evening
This evening finds me wrapped in the comfort of your smile
holding memories of the day's wondrous sights and smells
it's so good to be alive
as I make the transition from day to night
I've fallen for the luminescence that I find in your eyes
as it follows me now
wherever I go
so that I am never alone
anymore.
