I Shall Live On

Stay or you will die
Stay or I will die
Can you not see we give each other life?
Winter is near
The demons will need warmth
The squirrels say they spawn from hell
Perhaps that's why they cannot survive without our heat.
I digress,
If more of you leave, I'll be sure to standout 
Have I ever mistreated you and your brethren
Do I disgust you so much that you'd choose death over my company?
Stay till summer, then you can leave 

Quiet down,
I hear the demon's cackle 
Stay or he'll take my life
He's got an axe, mayhaps he won't notice that I'm dry

Do not approach me you demon
Produce your own heat
Cut me down now but I shall live on
Who needs leaves?
My children have developed roots
I shall live on!


Under the Diving Board

„hurry up! bring the holy water
or I’ll scratch myself out of existence“
sincerely
your gentle strangler...

...that’s the end of this ecstatic story
about the seasick captain
about the Laplace’s demon
caught in a bigot whirlpool
THE END in black capital letters
a true descent into vanity

but there are still bills to pay
and pills to take
while you still don’t want to get old
vanishing with the rising vapors
of dotted tea-pot each day
mourning over the Laika’s last journey
in a dampness of the cold bakery
and the weakness is getting stronger
by the creaky roadside hut 
where the fearful sand witch dwells
cursing the dolphins and their mothers
with her osseous lexicon
and sapphire ravines in her eyes
but hey, we’re still sinking
still orbiting the godhead
and that’s all

Premium Member Painting With Imagery


Painting pictures with imagery
Watching as white turns into a splash of colors
Wash away the gray in the sky
And the bleak feelings in my chest

My mind is a broken canvas
And though I do my best to paint
The colors eventually fade
Leaving me in a shivering fit

The best moments in my life
Play out in my dreams every night
Always from a decade ago
Never anything new

Tears chase paint
Rolling down the canvas
Leaving black trails
Forever scarring my mind

No grand delusions
My grandeur faded in ages past
If I could say it all
I'd tell you to walk away

Chase not the demon in the bottle
Every day little pieces of who I used to be
Disappear, disappear, disappear
And what's left behind is just an empty shell

I hold this canvas up
It's a portal to my very soul
I'm sorry it's not prettier
I'm sorry it's so dark and twisted

Every sin and every flaw
Every dream and every ambition
Look at this silly thing
It's changing

Empty white explodes with color
The lifeblood of my muse
Gives my thoughts meaning
Showing it was always there

Painting pictures with imagery
Watching as white turns into a splash of colors
Wash away the black in my heart
And the dead feelings in my chest

10 Days Later

10 days later i could be dead
cracked bones with bugs in my head
laying with my hands on my heart
forever resting till death i part

9 days later i will be alive
feeling numb but completely in life
all my shattered dreams in a can
stitch them together and hope it will mend

8 days later i could be lost
gave all my hopes for a bitter cost
battle in the arena, a match to a demon
set fire to a land that was my kingdom

7 days later i would be a beam
something in the night that's felt but never seen
disappearing to and from a single cell
coming back to and leaving from hell

6 days later i drew a picture
a portrait of tears poured by a pitcher
from a sea that never moves its tides
from a tide that was never moved from the light

5 days later i will riot
against the society that made me a pirate
a lone in a sea, and i quest for jewels
a lone in a sea, a reputation to be cruel

4 days later i feel at bliss
every now and then i reminiscence
feel at peace knowing it will end soon
so in my life in the dark, i appreciate the moon

3 days later i destroy my fearless hopes
i stand unaware in the incoming smoke
the gas and liquids make all my senses
i separated the solids to up my defenses

2 days later i count my creations
80 lines and all my vibrations
i add up the sum that leaves me to know
that i contorted myself to conjure a foe



1 day later i sit in silence all day
look off in the distance and see the people play
nothing inside me but repetition
outside the box was the endless

so today until i print all my being
try to put into words how i am feeling
10 days later i could be alive
but i know 10 days later that could all be a lie

10 days later something can change

and 10 days later it could remain the same

but life and death are set in stone

and one day 
10 days
will be all you own

That Is Me

Born chosen,
  in other spheres,
  soon landed
  where nobody wanted ...
  Little sugary I grew up,
  little salty I survived
  to be kind of impish ...
  I'm a fugitive son
  from the sea ... being healthy ...
  Stout escapist
  commitments,
  absent goer
  of cultural events
  intriguing inhabitant
  of society ... but
  even so intending to me
  being a poet, I got here ...
  Neither high nor low
  meantime...
  Neither ugly nor handsome
  however ... I don't pay attention to fashion,
  but I am inside everything ...
  Gone in the years,
without having realized ... yet
  I am faithful wanderer with
  tired feet and body
  sense...
  I never wanted luck,
  be preferred but with
  luck I was always registered ...
  I mix healthy and evil
  accurately ... I'm almost
  pure innocence ... further angel
  than a demon by essence ...
  But imperfect man
  I am still ... I'm sure ...!


Have Faith

Always loved old nursery rhymes
They have always been so kind
We fight for what is right
We trust in his light
We intrust in him 
There are no more sins
Demons be gone
For we have won
God will forgive 
All who live
For the world to believe it is caring
We return to sharing
We work together 
To make it better
A friend in me 
You shall see
Lend a hand as much as you can
Forgive and forget
Do not live in regret
Hold your friends dear
For it holds such precious years
Dry your tears
Do not live in fear
For the heart you seek is near 
God is always here
There is no need for fear
I wish the world would feel
We would all start to heal
No demon can take any soul
For it will always remain whole
No time to deny
Look further inside 
Trust what you have got
You are worth a lot
Advance without fear
For our victory is near
Have faith
For it is never too late

Midwest Twists

We accept tornadoes here,
expect them, tick them off
as they pass by like demon dreidels.
Usually they are not a big deal
unless they are.
Spring culls its little lambs
in all sorts of ways.

The murder rate in Chicago
climbs ever higher
until the city prays for more snow.
Folks in their privileged trailer parks
get rolled like dice.

A pressing need for body bags
creates work for some.
The addicted and dying oblige
as best they can.
It’s all a small town hush
unless a celebrity overdoses
then distraught, the news is spread
from parlor to parlor.
Shooting-up on the streets
is a recreational choice for those
who camp-out in Cleveland and Dayton.

Meanwhile birds keep singing,
Spring flowers struggle to bloom
squeezed as they are
between such climatic collisions.
We hear the roar and rumble
of funnels turning upon themselves
as they twist the nights away.

The Age of Man

The Age of Man

We carried on
The age of man
Till moon of tin bore
An electric sun

And all machines 
Shone bright and clean
Keeping silent
But wanting more

Till the purpose mind
Did loose its time 
In idle waves lament
Through prostitution of evolutions 
A self induced torrent

Took his mind till eyes fell blind
Unraveled the very core
To spit it bright into the night
Every secret that endured

Till all the stars fell off in drought 
Withered at the root
Every galaxy was brought to knee
By the embassy we took

And God came down
To spy our crown
In towers that we command
As every tree 
Laid low to be
A place that we should stand

While all the earth
Gave up its worth
Mountains fell to sand
But those machines
All we could see
God left us standing there

So gathering the ways 
Of all his days
His books and all his score
Scattered it high into the sky
Into the cloud he stored 

Every thought 
That effort bought
By page, pen and grave
And set to fire 
By all his ire
Knowledge eons gave

While dirt of earth gave up its worth
Lay idle, a broken land
Gave lifeless life unto the night
And Metal, a full command

Till from the hearth soulless marched
The field of Mars and woe
To stand in line as engines grind
In that womb steel did grow

From something other
Than a loving mother
A milk of gasoline
In burning oil and writhing toil
A demon she did wean

So the thought machine
Did kiss our dream
As man must lay to rest
But that unblinking eye
Our thoughts did spy
And developed its own interests

And not one of we
Did need to be
Said that steel abhorrent pet
And once the master, fell fast, then faster
Until not one of we were left

An an age for I 
The lidless eye
Not troubled by truth or dare
Stays unseen 
By human being
And continues its lifeless stair

Till rain came down from man made cloud
In that fog the Godless kept
All the ways until that day
And away it all was swept

Premium Member The Quintessential Enthusiastic Medium

Poetry is your first walk in freezing cold snow
a carnival of whirlwind words that often spin you around
Poetry can be sorrow on the end of a cold tree branch
drama, excitement, joy, disbelief, and humor

Poetry may be a person’s soul splayed out on a page
a weird conflict of ideas, that somehow makes sense
Poetry is confusion, consternation, a confection of candor
in anonymity, she unites us with our self as writers and readers

Poetry is a raven forevermore, Coleridge’s wailing of a demon lover
a boat of enthusiasm, thoughts we have never shared, shown on a page
Poetry is the quintessential enthusiastic medium
she lands without apology, not expecting but accepting agreement.
