Long Unmarred Poems

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...

RAVEN AND WREN

As the world wakes up
To the sun’s gentle rays of light
Frozen memories melt and flow 
Penetrate but do not satiate
Moments of insipid sight
A scenery of incessant delight
As the raven chases the wren
Back to...

Your love cuts through me, this power controlling me is surreal
not realizing the buttons you push, and how you make me feel
an inner beauty unmarred, like a magnet, you drew me so close
mere sight of...

The night and dark comes earlier each evening
  lost between twilight looming on the horizon, 
  pushing aside the sun’s revealing
  of the darkness that simply is.

Shortening days disappear between the trees

Treachery, 
An angel that was unfathomable, 
Ruling your nightmares when I should have been purifying your every thought. 
I failed you at my job, 
But even from the start, 
I gave you porcelain veins and...

Spending an early morning by the iridescent bay,
body delighted by a whipping breeze:
it's humid and hazy under swollen clouds
that foretell an up-coming storm;
on both side of the parkway
cars speed by, and drivers
have no clue that...

Cast adrift alone to endlessly Guard.
 That which the gods have left entirely unmarred.

 Endowed with gifts enough to reach the stars.
 Limited only by his inner scars.

 For although this lonely figure be ready...

And, rising, bless the Cimmerian shade of night

With cupped snowflake-skin flowing, bathed in sultry rebirth

Praise the darkness that impregnated your essence with light.


Now permeated with scent of ashes, grasp with might

the memories of a child...

In my pursuit of knowledge, I will define my destiny
Shedding the insulting notions that so many others have conceived
And remove the cloaks, which you have draped over me

In my pursuit of awareness, i will seek...

I lie on a bed of grass, huddled beneath
this vast expanse of night sky
with the breeze passing in light swirls
over my upturned face,
all my senses alight.

I gaze at that smooth disc
of ardent argent,
unmarred by confining...

No litter, no rules, no society scent,
just peninsula pure soul content, ideally lent.
Awed and wowed with arms stretched wide,
I stand on Key’s narrow road, on narrow land,
surrounded by two sea gems and their sand.

Anchored in the Aura of your loyalty, the
Breathtaking mood you enhance in me, for I
Cannot fathom the length of your love
Definitely not enveloped in envy but care
Every time that phone rings you race to it...

The man is lion of this jungle
Armies to him are humble.
He runs non stop to make things run
And never let's a crawl walk until it runs.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in...

So, 
Think you have won
Today, 
It's just begun

Launch a barrage of viscious lies
To tax the heart and mind

Behold through muddy rivers
Flows crystal waters

Pivot a man's most enduring friend 
Into his newfangled enemy

Amid stormy clouds
Seeps rays...

Victor Hugo "Love Stronger Than Time"
Translation by Michael Burch

Since I first set my lips to your full cup,
Since my pallid face first nested in your hands,
Since I sensed your soul and every bloom lit up—
Till...

I put down my book,
And I picked up the picture,
Of you, that I printed and framed-
Lost in your smile-
I gazed for awhile-
Then said, "You are going insane."

I know I can't have you-
You may not want...

Beauty Beyond The Skin



Beauty in the ancient past must have been far more than skin deep and a sight for sore eyes

Every person, place, and thing in the entire universe was unmarred, unscarred, and undisturbed

Animals...

There's a place in the desert that turns into a high mountain forest.
I know that I am a descendant from the writer's passion of King David.

In this forest there is a glade, and there is...

I wish
That I had a chance to know a mother
Like the ones others have
Like you
I wish
She had been one to care
Like a mother should
To love us equally
As we are
To love me a little
I wish
I could...

I am very fond of losing things.

I'd lost my wallet on the first day of primary school
I'd lost my bottle while on the bus
I'd lose almost all my erasers before ever finishing them 
I lost...

Deep down something hurts
Deep down something aches
Deep down something cries
Deep down something dies
Trying to uncage the beast 
To honour the deceased
With the vain attempt 
The cover remains kempt
The frosted hollow stone
The icy cold bone
The flawless...

Here we are.
In the Glass Castle. 
Hurling our baby teeth at the ghosts that mirror back at us when we forget to keep our eyes shut to the flames that forged our cage.

How would it feel having no single woe to bear,
In that sooty heart oft stung by ceaseless tear?
Wouldn't the sobs-accustomed soul court pain,
To save those melancholic rhythms in its stain?

It's abnormal for usually teary eyes...

When a man stepped out his childhood home,
Planting a brave foot in the open world
Not an age, not a generation, not a world ago,
There breathed and burned in him hope
Shared with mama's receding figure
Frozen in...
