Long Golden thread Poems

My wounded heart drinks deep from the rotting gut of misery,

I see kids chewing syringes like candy canes,
Their innocence smashed, face down on the concrete...

The heroic books, even if printed in the character of our mother tongue,
Will always remain in a dead language for degenerate times;
And we must laboriously seek the meaning of each word and line,
Conjecturing a broader...

I am a singular event 
Occupying a particular span of time. 
I am a concrete mystic 
And an incurable skeptic 
Seeking an approximation 
Of peace and domestic tranquility. 
I am a Slavic soul brother 
Living...

In the vast ocean of my thoughts, I try, I swear I try,
To open my soul like a nocturnal flower,
To become that companion you can easily find in the night.
But often my ears are burdened...

Your Love Redeemed My Faith In Hope
 

Across the dance floor, your soft sashaying gown flew
with its bright waving gleams of silver dust and blue;
within that blessed gaze, lonesome heart jumped a beat
seeing those golden...

This hasn't quite worked, so I'll have to revisit it. I listened to Chopin Opus 9 number 1 for inspiration and got lots of sprawling thoughts. I tried to put them into a Rondeau Redoublé...

Under the vault of eternal stars, where strings of light sing the ballads of infinity,
Two kinds of people are born, woven into the fabric of the cosmic destiny,
Most people are those who cannot think, only...

Ageless Seeds Of Simple Joys

When walking in splatter of Spring's anticipated rains
blessed is the youth in you, if wearing no shoes;

Return Of The Tyke

Tyke, tyke, tyke' they’d chant to bait the bairn.
But insult hurled at Yorkshire folk is water off a back.
Take it, use it, grind it through the crank
As fuel for the fire, grist...

Near midnight, when stars sing their loneliness, my mind boils,
In a sea of thoughts flowing ceaselessly, like a river of memories and unfulfilled dreams,
My soul struggles in the nets of its own reflections,
In an endless...

be my golden thread, lead me through the labyrinth of my own mind,
help me travel through the deadly twists and turns,
would you protect me from the beasts inside?
i am empty, a shell,...

The elites weave webs of augmented unrealities, keeping souls captive.
In the vast labyrinth of the internet, fragments of truth mix
With delicate lies, like butterflies trapped in the...

thus finding such fantastic sights halt great worries and pains.

In the heart of twilight, shadows murmur ancient incantations,
a silent symphony echoes through the corridors of my soul,
how can I begin anew, with the weight of past days
clinging to my heart, roots entangled
in memories, ever-present,...

A song the radio I couldn't help quote
Parachute, oh Parachute, please forgive me I had to
I love the melody, the message and it made me wonder so intently
who is this she that is love 
Is...

If i could just save one life.... 

If the words you write can light just one flame,
Ignite the night,
end someone's pain.
We each have one arrow,
life’s bow to string,
Whatever life aims,
let your heart sing. 

Take me,

In an endless night, under the velvet sky, I lose myself in reverie—
A map spread out before my eyes, white as an untouched manuscript,
For those without imagination, an empty place, a desert of meaning,
But for...

On realms hidden within the folds of the celestial map, a murmur of light is woven,
And among the sacred, within an inner world, resounds the divine call.
Your values, ancient bastions within the whirlpool of the...

glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear,
if lust was coal, dusty and black,
would it make you realize you want to come back?

If music was woven with golden...

Sun: 
I'm like a cosmic hearth, eternally blazing. 
My flames, life's furnace, ceaselessly raising. 
But you, dear Moon, you're Earth's night light, 
A celestial nightingale serenading the night.

Moon: 
And you, my friend, are the world's...

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence I awake,
Waiting in great patience for the egg of dawn to break.
For hair is golden thread woven from my golden harp.
Be careful touching things if you...

She Wore Blue Dress, Flowers Her Laurel Crown
 
She had only soft blue skies and romance
Attending angels at her beck and call
A golden life, with nothing left to chance
All her lovers came from Valhalla's halls.

The path of divine revelation, often crowned by fall,  
When from the azure angels detach, blinded by a false light,  
And in their plummet, lose the horizon, lose the sun and the moon,...
