Long Derails Poems

“The God Complex”



His face imprinted 
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words

like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds

once-in-a-while 
reminding them of stories 
they are eventually, all souls

Folks say his mother used to read
Stories of ancient warriors indeed,
To give birth to a child as brave
As a legend beneath a historic grave.

'Achilles'- She used to call her son
And he grew up, fascinating like...

Its whispering gentle 
 through breeze to leaves
rustling each to a frenzied clamor
 Can you hear the heightened sound?
Inaudible then so loud...so Loud!!
  So loud you cant hear at all
As the days slip past...

Pretty little soul
Scared of the world
Afraid of the nothingness
Tightly wrapping the boundaries
Around you

Pretty little soul
Deprived of love
Longing for what you lack most
Searching for what you can’t find
Nowhere to

Pretty little soul
Wishing for one truthful heart
Who can...

You gave me synthetic happiness and even a little grin
You treat me off and on; at your will as you please
You tell me you love...

VERSE ONE 
Heavenly father
Grant me safe passage to Elysium
For each time I think I have reached the end of the race
I am back to the start
Deliver me Oh Lord
From blood sucking demons
That derails one’s progress

Minor or major changes in the asteroid belt
Ice caps and ice sheets continue to melt
Experts speculate on whether or not devastation will be dealt
Moved around or always in the same place they dwelt
Actions were insincere...

Tic Toc I watch nonchalant 
arms of the clock
Shift and rock
Grandfathers hands join-unlock
Conducting my living room symphonies

Horns and strings mingle in streams
Blending with screams
Torn from dreams
Nothing here's quite as it seems
Parading illusions own infantry

Unified steps...

Detaching myself from past experiences' dilemma
determined heart of mine denounces deceit-dominance
dauntless to soar despite distractions…     

Devastated by dear Mom’s demise
distressed due to Dad’s despair over his darling’s death
despondent soul faced courage...

There's a Train
Going to Peace Station.
Christians, Buddhists,
Hindus, Atheists,
Each occupied a Compartment,
But never Bothered one another,
Just like the Two Rails of the Track
That Travel Together but Never Meet.
Everyone's Ticket is to Peace,
They traveled in Communities and
Their...

Slowly, I draw a deep breath before closing my eyes,
then picture I am floating on a white wispy cloud.
In my nebulous vision, I am not veiled in disguise,
for I've no need when riding high above...

A perfect plain in the Sub Sahara

Discerning screens, Japanese Madara

Your frame formidable despite design

Why shan't I sing aloud about your shine?

Your songs of praises serenades females

A wrecking train that never derails

Conquered jealousies try to bite...

Words Wrought Within Dark Depths Of Deepest Grief

The bitterness of a malady sent
Epic heartache of a soul torn and rent
When morn's rays disappear and all joy hides
Sea stands still, moon refuses to bring tides

Angels tread softly upon this place

Eyes of elemental flame
Glowing passion, simmering grace

Feral child of natures plan
Innocence of this earthly place

Learning now the ways of man
His sins to be embraced

the perfume smells of rain

I've never learned to temper love
I've never held anything back

A soul conditioned to cry
gives up when trust falls apart.
And no longer wants to try
to capture another's heart.

Finding fear blocking the way,
love derails, jumping its track.
And silently slips away,
never to find its way back.

Gambling that...

I am in darkness, deep deep darkness.
Darkness so deep it has no ending.
It fills me, holds me, chokes me.
Darkness so thick I cant breath.
It binds me,blinds me,dries me.
How deep is deep.
Ive climbed and sunk, walked...
