Long Roughness Poems

I.
He was patient very-very
with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness, 
without want to weep and moan,
He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up...

It's You, Not Me 

*this poem can be offensive and has naughty words*

It's all my fault
I put a gentle halt
I'm cold in my skin
You are warm with anger, disappointment and sadness from deep within

It's me,...

On the extremity of  a tall bank 
Of big broken stones in round circle done
We reached up a more cruel clutter flank;

And there, for the horrible and strong stun
Of rotten stench which the deep...

Smaller than a dinosaur, 
But bigger than a bear, 
A boulder’s tucked back in the woods,
Forever, it’s been there.
It’s wondrous in its natural form,
A nursery, home, and den.
You may not notice at first glance,
Come closer,...

In the stillness of midnight, where time seems suspended and shadows dance with whispered secrets,
My mind wanders through labyrinths of pain, finding solace in the depth of suffering.
It is said that we heal from suffering...

Texture is nature's and life's universal adornment.
Texture titillates and tantalises the senses,
adorning the smooth, flat and boring
with bumps, context, meaning, dimensions and grip.

See me, hear me, touch me, smell me, taste me -
all get embellished...

I won’t grieve no more, for I need satisfaction melodically
I won’t receive gratification anymore if I give up so easily
Tonight, I will be happy...
I won’t feel that crappy...

In a snap of a moment,
I will flick...

I look inside myself for ways to express the beauty I see in front of me and know that my words will never be adequate enough to describe the awe. 
A tall majestic mountain range,...

Dad, this my apology and a prayer of farewell.
To you and me.
So maybe I can feel that you have forgiven me.
And all the things in my life now make since.
Your sad gray eyes haunt me...

Remembered boy along these lines
Remembered roughness through our tough times
Remembered blue eyes with his laughing look
Remembering him reading me like an open book
I called him up the other day
With so many memories for me to...

I fought to get out of bed today
Its nothing new
I fought every other day.

You see
When eyes look at you
But eyes don't see what they do
Eyes only see everything but you
Eyes destroy who
You
Are.

I fought to get...

I will start with using my hand as a guide
And in the end I will open my eyes that I will decide

I consider to do this with one thing in mind
I will close my eyes...

I tasted summer…
It sure tasted good
I was dying for a sip
Of my iced coffee CHINO
Only in Cyprus…
My drug of choice
Crushed ice with sweetened coffee
OH....YES!
In the evenings
succulent watermelon treats
Eating it all with relish
Even the seeds
what greed!

I...

Wood Carving


He sits there, not quite motionless, for
even the comfortable must alter their
perception occasionally, frozen stare
upon a craggy visage, tiny fox-like predator
eyes peering into your soul.  “What are his
origins?” ask the bespectacled intellectuals.
“Who is...

When I was a child, I was a princess
Who lived in a beautiful castle,
Surrounded by woods and fields
This not true, of course, but that is
How I chose to remember it, to celebrate it,
That is how...

James, your words are like echos of extacy

forclosing with your sweetness on the bargain of my heart

so scratched and bruised, wounded from betrayle

and yet...your words from so far away, bring happiness with every glimmer

He awoke, though he could not tell
if it was the middle of a long night
or the middle of his life.
The years before were sodden with autumnal leaves
and so he remembered much.

The mechanics had laid down...

:Listened to your kind words when you called me sweetie and baby,
I thought just for a second that maybe.
You were someone I could respect and trust.
Embrace our feelings and give into this powerful lust.

There was love and sorrow
We shared the good and bad
Never thinking of tomorrow
We only thought of what we had

There was kindness and cruelty
We had the dysfunction thrown in
Not that we were really suffering
We knew the...

In chambers lit by candle's glow, 
A sculptor stands, with brow alight,
Where visions grand begin to flow,

From marble cold, a form takes flight. 
With hammer's tap and chisel's grace, 
He breathes life In chambers lit...

Thinking strength, resilience
Begins with hard hearts, roughness
Toughness that silences the hopes,
The dreams, the beautiful – the grace
Miracles on display in the glistening
Glittering parades, stardust
Whispers planted on the oceans
Sapphire shadows, skies alive with the
Floating halos, angel’s...

Green rolling ember sparks desire
Wrapping around broken clam shells on beds of dirty brown cracking leaves.
Roots slither down and out
Fingers clawing their way to the anti-surface of eternity’s chambers.
Feeling as if it was never going...

She tries and tries to act tough.
She tries and tries to act like she does not care. 
However, what some do not see 
Is the passion building up inside of her unexplored territory.
Yearning to be...
