Tricked by the tricked, checked by the fool
I opened the doors to your footsteps, thinking I'd feel different about you
Where love would softly welcome me, you molded me in it's cage
Prettier by it's name and fancy game
It all seemed telepathically mysterious until it all turned out to be the same
Bleeding through the marks, on the very frame you drew me hearts
"Don't know, don't care" came soon after crashing about old despairs
Letters written, words worth of thousands of poems
Down the drain to some clandestine affair
Silly how time passes by only for those kicking air, finding something
Binding, and fair in depths of nowhere only to be empty again
I tread lightly now, knowing you hold me there
We were poetry, only when I allowed us to be
But maybe you forget that I tell the stories.
I vow what I have to vow
I show what I have to show
I bow where I have to bow
I know where I have to go
I am learning, earning, burning like a halo
I choose to be a leader so
I push high on every linked neuron
I know what I have to low
Remaining all go to blow
I became a leader so
Luminous
lights appear
in my long dreams,
as my soul, so it seems, holds high
a periscope
for my heart and mind to see
every surrounding scene
beyond the heavy, seamed quilt of history
laid over my long sleep,
my long night — as deeply
black as the pupils of my eyes
mirroring a moonless, starless mid-night;
yet my soul floats
within this ever-amassing eternity —
wherein gleams an airglow for some sight
of the softly glistening atmosphere’s heights…
arising
heavenward
and shimmering
~ while here within me
longings emanate
(for a communion with God
and a complete life)
appearing luminous and divinely embossed
— comprising my long, impassioned prayers
— all into making
the long necklace
of gold-linked
wishes and psalmed gratitdes
I kneel to sing
on these long nights
before my long sleeping…
Forever linked
A gift, a diamond
Each other’s Valentine chosen
He vows that she is love
Love is an eternal link,
that should never be broken
She vows tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s Day,
I a maid at your window,
to be your Valentine
Physically joined now
a sweet memory to be cherished
A gift to one another,
A diamond in time
Linked like the nascent Scottish tongue,
from auld lang syne
The poor man is still in grief;
He was being linked with a thief!
A real big blow to A Chief…
Thrice he’d tried a spiced-up beef
But the glad bites turned out brief;
“Spreading wide is wrong belief;
To that beef holds no relief.”
He’d be leaving for some reef,
There to not be reaching beef:
Agreed place of his exile;
To stay there not for a while…
No one wants again his guile…
His case files: Stacked-high pile.
He does not treasure his link
With four Arab Terrorists:
Men who’d pretended they could think
But for their savage strikes, Humorists…
He shall his thoughts bare and not blink
“His haters now whisky glasses clink
And in The Blue Sky also pick out Pink”.
This is no picture of A Challenged Scenarist,
Rather A Good Nose’s for the smell of An Animist
Off and on, his rivals at one another wink
For The Armada about to profitably sink.
The four accursed terrorists
He’d taken for amiable tourists,
Until up the ugly heads of shotguns reared
And in the shooting the bullets veered,
Plus involvement of a wasting grenade
That looked like it had been Russia-Made…
And in his hotel the four didn’t shrink,
When the strongest beverage was the drink…
Mr. Mole guessed he must do something, meanwhile
And not away image-saving time while.
He
opened
the window-
in streamed his first
love
with
flowers,
dressed
in white-
she haunted his
art.

~Author's notes:
The "Linked" is a poetry form or style created by Erich J. Goller.
The sea was all he knew before they met
While she was raised on scented, satin sheets
He slept on deck and learned to hoist the net
But it was she whose spell could tame the fleets
For she had beauty, yes, and she had brains
And still it was her laugh that won his heart
Her giggle, gentle as the morning rains
And he, a tar, had tales he could impart
So when God called her home at eighty years
He cut the line and set to sea once more
To fill the ocean with his sweat and tears
With hope he’d find her on that final shore
From son to son the saga was passed down
How laughter launched a love of great renown

( Dorian 5 x 5 Linked)
There's always love, hope
Hope and there's light
Light to guide thru night
Night and don't lose sight
Sight with Lord can cope
Cope as seasons go
Go each single year, day
Day with Lord can hope
Hope lives through God, love
Love from God just flows.
