Long Aflow Poems

My love was serpentine to the touch
I can't quite explain it...the love of mine
Had gone away from my sight and such
I can quiz my mind to say otherwise, my bittersweet sugar wine…

Why am I extremely...

I understand that you’re mad at me
I understand that you’re sad, I see
I didn’t mean to cause you pain
I just want to send you sunshine your way,
But it turned into rain
Every time you smile, I...

MEMORIES OF WAR 


In prison we turmoiled 
packed up cards to fall 
whilst they sucked 
genitals like bonbons 
a quartz on a table
gleamed its knowing

War torn ghettos with 
swollen stomachs 
stretched wide, auras 
shattered, splintered...

Your passionate, unneeded pride...
Is hard to swallow, so I’m waiting for another tomorrow
Going along with the rowdy ride
Still feeling so low…but I must stay high, you know?

I want to glow bright and grow and not...

The enemy draws near
I will not shed any tears,
For I'm stronger than fear
My cup is filled with cheers

The ugly beauty inside me will see me through
This shame and calamity that ended up in rue
The ugly...

Let me carry the load from your heart
Your beautiful free spirit is a work of art
Let me be carried away by your blissful satisfaction
We just got to let go and let live and take action...

Breathing in the decay 
I paused with trepidation 
As a chill crept upon me tonight

Odourous and thick
A suffocating feel of nothingness 
devoid of light

The claws they were jagged 
and bitingly cold 
As they circled around...

I sail ashore a silent war

Shattered regret all the more
Angst sinks deep down ashore
Isolated like remnants of hatred to the core
Lonesome as a lazy lion in the streets of nothingness

And suddenly…
Sadness sweeps over me solemnly
Hushed...

I sinned against my body exceedingly so
I’m ashamed, I feel like a nobody
Everyday, I see people succeeding though
The temple of God is in everybody

I need endurance and patience
I also need self-control and guidance
I love my...

Flightless Old Birds

I spill ink upon a most sadden page
life of youth was once all the rage
Good times were to readily be had
even a dull day was not all that bad
For each new morn brought...

Sitting here all alone 
Getting lost in my head 
Wandering off in the fields of your game  
Soaked by the pouring rain of your lies 
Burned by the pain spreading like a wild fire
Silent...

It's midday right now (I’m frozen in boredom kingdom…give us tragedy in reverse, my beautiful sunrise and I’m your dazzling sunset)
Listened to music online (All night and day, I’ve been up…It’s a gift or a...

In the ring, under blazing sun,
Stands the bull, fierce, on the run.
I, the matador, with focused eye,
Face the beast, no room to sigh.

Cape unfurls, in this daring show,
Dance begins, hearts aflow.
Muscles tense, each move I...

Young they are ...
Thoughts rushing
Words, now in play.

   Penned preenly between the lines...
   Thoughts set down
   Words, meaning more than they say.

      Spoken dreams...

Memories so fondly savored
Sad times forgotten in the race
Closely holding  moments favored
That were once so common place

Whisper thrills swift fingered riffs
Linger ghosting in my mind
Soft  melodic intermingles
Nostalgic stroking intertwined

Sweet bravado overcomes us
Leaning in...
