Heavy

Heavy is the brow that sits the crown of power, 
fame or shame it is a wonder that we live with 
greed to want for more than we can afford 
or sow the seed and set the deal 
dealt to us in deeds we need…

We want more to succeed in our greed
we wear the finery of a life lived out fast
we burn out in all the lights we love 
and breathe the shadow of the tv screen 
and dance the dance macabre

We want to have and to hold all that
is dear but to pay the price 
for a mear meek soul in the void 
of life that is touched for a costly lie

We seek to have and to hold 
to warm and to mold the binary 
of life in our hands such is the power of man

For heavy is the brow that sits 
the crown the power the 
flame the perceived shame 

We are plugged into little black 
digital boxes and waste our 
lives in opinions and checkmarks, 
suicide drives

We live vicariously through 
others imagery we worry 
what we are liked or shared or 
only care as we count the 
Tick-Tocks of life now lost in a computer app 

We are void of passion seconds 
to our demises close to our 
death but 30 secs of shame 
slides slices of life pointless and enflamed

Heavy is the brow with thoughts 
of more than what we are more 
than self, as humanity runs 
a mock not thinking or dreaming 
we only wait for dawn with our 
eyes wide shut as we scream into the night


Many Years Ago

You shine so beautifully…don’t try so hard
Hello sunshine…it has been years since you haven’t rose from depression
But, you finally got through the war and you won…it’s over with…you made a good last impression
On your friends before they kissed their demises…don’t be miserable, beloved bard 

Beauty was flying and it never dried from sight 
But that was many years ago

I woke up on a fresh morning…on a clean slate
Hello moonlight…it has been years since you haven’t disappeared from sight
But, you finally lost the battle of survival…and you must accept your failures and move on with life…become friends with the sunlight
Before it loses its appealing effulgence…before it faces crisis…I’m happy in my optimistic state 

Hope was abiding near our side during divine flight  
But that was countless years ago 

You were mine like jewels connected to my body…please don’t discard
This wonderful opportunity…it has been years since you haven’t waken up from suppression and captivity…you groan 
But, you believed in your perpetual future and now you’re gone…hopelessness barrels in this heart of stone 
I’ve fallen in the same pit of deceiving paradise…life can get hard…

You shine so beautifully…don’t try so hard
Hello sunshine…it has been years since you haven’t rose from depression
But, you finally got through the war and you won…it’s over with…you made a good last impression
On your friends before they kissed their demises…don’t be miserable, beloved bard 

Beauty was flying and it never dried from sight 
But that was many years ago

I woke up on a fresh morning…on a clean slate
Hello moonlight…it has been years since you haven’t disappeared from sight
But, you finally lost the battle of survival…and you must accept your failures and move on with life…become friends with the sunlight
Before it loses its appealing effulgence…before it faces crisis…I’m happy in my optimistic state 

Hope was abiding near our side during divine flight  
But that was countless years ago 

I know…baby, don’t try too hard…
Keep up your strengths and never show them your weaknesses
Show them that their demises
Isn’t the right answer to solving daily issues
Isn’t the right solution to demolish the blues…...........

That's Everybody's Dream

Turn into a transparent cloud
and find your way to Heaven;
take a voyage into the unknown
with an excitement never allowed. 

Glance at the vast cosmos without perplexity,     
they are the gifts that God meant for Humanity;
more earths and moons not visible to human eyes...
await us tomorrow, boldness can overcome demises.

New awesome universes that Galileo and others never saw; 
wonders revealed by images appearing from dots that glow,   
and with your gaze up: be inspired, be charmed, be vowed
by the gleaming galaxies that nobody until now has named.

Is it only your ultimate dream to venture and conquer all?
No, that's everybody's dream to own planets and more!
Anxiety can incite, but expectancy to find life is minimal;    
will you find rivers that flow, beaches with a tidal bore?

From Mind To Mouth

we often begin with ,do you know?
 before we offer any suggestion
 but dont you think if they really knew
 there would be no reason to ask that question
 
some of us speak
  just as fast as most can blink 
and words seem to come out of our mouths 
before we can even think
 
some of the things we tend to say 
can't even be justified
 and once we realize we made a mistake
 we just stand there questioning why 

yes the mind is a terrible thing to waste
 for its so full of deception 
but it is the tounge that tells the tale
 for it is our most dangerous weapon
 
just think of all the brillant minds in history
 that somehow ended up dead 
 it was;nt their thoughts that cause their demises
 i beleive it was something they said

Stepping Downwards

Birds chirping roughly on an avocado tree
I curiously look upwards to see what could that noise be? 
Is it a sparrow or a mockingbird? 
It's plump and it has all shades of brown

I'm stepping upwards next to the spiraling, gnarled tree before me
The chirping has stopped this second
Breaking my imaginative ideas and brewing them to ruins 

I'm stepping downwards
Urging myself to walk towards this memorable maze-like place
Where I could feel the wind caress my face

In a meadow of cherished flowers
Making this my solitude 
To sit on a crooked bench and ponder about my frowning attitude

I hear someone steeping below the wall...the safety cliff 
I seem to stand here all stiff
Hearing all the bafflement of my unreal family 

I walk around, 
Inspiration driven through this memorable garden
Endless in its incredible surprises
Leaving me no place to face my demises

Struck by fireworks from the cloudless, fashionable sky
Sitting on a scrawny, dirty chair 
Staring at the ancient tree...wondering how life isn't fair 

How could it bear such fruit or vegetable?
It grows firm and ripe 
Without a flaw...without a stripe
Though I feel that I'm too thin

I walk around, 
Inspiration driven through this memorable garden
Endless in its incredible surprises
Leaving me no place to face my tangled drowsiness 

I must stop stepping downwards 
Into my deep motivations...my charmed desire 
Though its hoarse and cruel to leave this tangling temptations 

I decide about a decade later
That I really need to take a tightening grasp to hold on to the 
stairway's handlebars 

Hold on for a minute...I hear a cricket beneath the cemented ground 
It leaves the wind to make no ruffling sound 

About a decade later, I realize this cycle goes on and on and on and it 
mixes altogether
We need to be brought up together 
As a family and visit my uncle and grandma

I need to make the decision to step upwards
Make an effort to say my last words:

"I love you all! We'll see you both next month!"

I start the cycle all over again in July 

This time,
I won't fail to do my missions


The serpent stamp is on the file Pt 2

Against those throes of untimely demises that Hormel chili should usher in surprises, or so the weapon goes to the kiln where kilts affray melt ire still, but beside the moon, that heavenly crest shan't ring new tones, the silent rest, whereupon one green stamp made this here, reap and commala like times past my dear, where one thing never finds Ms. Garland and another may leave her, is it simply constructed or beaten and beleaguered? I beat the metal hot and strong, but saintly serpents proved them wrong, the energies aglow like fires unkempt, the hearth and mantel heavens lent them and showered the earthly with cures galore a poor poet's boy, Aurora's demure.

Yesterday Night

LET GO…you have nothing left to hold
Except this piece of gold
From my heart to yours…
The predator scores…
You’re lost and failure injects bad luck into you
And you’re ashamed of your sores…it’s true
Isn’t it? 
But that was long ago…
When you fell into your own pit?

You shine so beautifully…don’t try so hard
Hello sunshine…it has been years since you haven’t rose from depression
But, you finally got through the war and you won…it’s over with…you made a good last impression
On your friends before they kissed their demises…don’t be miserable, beloved bard 

Beauty was flying and it never dried from sight 
But that was many years ago

I woke up on a fresh morning…on a clean slate
Hello moonlight…it has been years since you haven’t disappeared from sight
But, you finally lost the battle of survival…and you must accept your failures and move on with life…become friends with the sunlight
Before it loses its appealing effulgence…before it faces crisis…I’m happy in my optimistic state 

Hope was abiding near our side during divine flight  
But that was thousands of decades ago 

You and I should run away…
So we can both shine like the sunrise that welcomes a new…
Crystal-clear day!  
But I can’t have you…remember…you rejected me…
Oh, now the truth shimmers and unravels secrets that you’ve kept away from me
The truth is as clear as day - honey…
as the gleaming sea…
Producing waves of uncertainty… within a single millisecond – I witness your auras reflecting worthless worry 

But that was only yesterday night…that contrite night 
Not many years ago…
I had fight to good fight for your safety ’cause you were uptight

Where’s your passionate glow?

Accepting Trails

I rely on my unflinching courage
and on my unyielding strength
fighting for virtues that instill knowledge...
until understanding dispels rage
without leaving bitterness on the breath,
or the horrible feeling of revenge!

Will the vast unknown increase fear,
will this journey be hindered by storms
and frighten me by what lies ahead?
Be it bliss, be it wonder, or be it a dread:
they'll be revealed by fate that conforms
to the measure of faith in the believer!

God sets the limit of my demises,
the perfidious path I trod on is awfully dark
and without moonlight, I stumble upon a rock
and kneeling before Him: I accept my trials!

Premium Member Until the Sun Rises

No trick or treaters on the street
     they're all in bed now, getting sleep,
Candies piled high upon the floor
     collected from each neighbor's door,
Smoke rises from the pumpkin's grin
     the day's magic still burns within,
Restless spirits are set free to roam
     and find their way back to home,
An earthly reunion until the sun rises
     with those who've met their demises,
It's time for October's farewell scene
     on the final night of Halloween,
The harvest moon is setting low
     opposite the rising sun's gentle glow,
Wandering souls leave us for another year
     and say goodbye and shed a tear,
Because, they surely miss us, too
     their tears become the morning dew,
To stain the leaves a shining gold
     and welcome in wet November's cold.

Premium Member Eve's Night Out

Where wicked things grow, 
She waits to be found,
Down a dark and dusty road,
Eve, a Pumpkin, dying on the ground,

Ravens pick away her eyes, 
She now sees,
Her grin carved with back stabbing knives,
Revealing her unborn seeds,

Slicing her orange flesh,
She feels no pain,
Her grin releases no breath,
As she drinks in frozen rain,

Tonight she'll be warmed by their candle's flickering flame,
Transformed, 
She'll perform,
In their evil game,

As they walk by her,
In their scary disguises,
Hoping to fit in,
To be saved from their demises,

It's her turn to play,
Her last chance before she dies,
On this her best performance yet,
All Hallow Eve's Night.
