Some Poems
A Stolen Memory
A Mirthful Chorus
By Sy Roth
We surrounded him
Asked to let go.
She stared at the misshapen face,
Unshaven sandpapery skin
Eyelids a tabula rasa
Fluttery sere skin
And we could see the humor blossoming in his...

and kissed my furrowed brow and smoothed my hair,

Life's Fading Light-Part 1-Heroic Crown of Sonnets
Youth
When orchids bloom in beauty life's aglow
to hold emotions locked in deep repose
in young desire and love warm thoughts will show.

to burn inside young hearts in evening tide.

White Wine And Feather Boa Dreams
I wrap myself
in feather-boa-fantasies of his dreams
sinuous pinot-grigio-me;
X-rated and never sated

welcome to the conjugal jungle
of not-so-rusted lust

The Teetotaler
In Ordinary Cups
The blades of winter grind into the ice
like blood on a bitten lip
two lovers spin and twirl
The days pass from teacup to teacup
in the peaceful silence of a solitary nest.
From gentle easy sunrise...

Of Angels and Unicorns
We've been here for an eternity
Walking amongst you,
You know us,
And what we're here to do.
I've died a hundred times,
Nearly a thousand years.
The first death,
On the Horns of Hattin
A time of scimitars and spears.
The last time...

Hollow
Disembowelled
As if the core of me had been ripped out by invisible hands
And scattered to the wind like desert dust
I am like a ghost

Copious cornucopia scattered over a trapdoor of lost fragments...

that can linger for a very long time
and give a sense of peace and understanding
that rewards the solitude of the mind

Afraid To Live
Chinks of light filter
thru pitchblack emotional prison
vestigial shadow figure hunkers,
an atrophied, mortified, petrified old man
implacable self destructive nemesis
birthed in league pitiful human shambles,
his abysmally forlorn existence
scotched, sabotaged, severely short changed
agonizing depression tortures psyche
family abandoned nsync,
entrenched...

March To Broodseinde
Marching together, instep, one by one,
heeding our country's call of duty.
Sixteen of us following the beaten trail,
one traveled by many of our band of brothers.
Three divisions of us are already there,
feeling, seeing, the horror of...

Deception - POTD
POTD 4th Nov 2019
Vanquishing all reservation
twilight's prelude heralds
shadowy anticipation
of a secret amorous thirst
He surrenders once more
to his darkest desires
amplifies the sultry ambiance
with star spangled bursts
A slave in her entity
tremulous in her splendour...
