A Preface To My Poetry

I have emptied my heart into these pages
My pen has bled words in red
You can look straight into me 
I have painted me as I am 
Honest and truthful

I don’t want to be a sham
Here have I laid bare my life
Fraught with aches, dotted with smiles
My longings and my heart aches
My expectations, my disappointments
My triumphs,

Preface

Greetings to those who would willingly seek admission to theater of the absurd. Zoltan Goliath and Otis Trench are masters of the avant-garde genre silent musicals for the imaginary stage, an art form sui generis. That they are not well-known beyond the fringe element constituting their eccentric cult following should come as no surprise. In

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Preface

They told me time would change me, that nightmarish figures would disappear.
So I watched them with contempt awaiting the day my mind would clear.

I taunted and I pressed them, prompted by a looming lust of doubt
That they would spare my heart, though I deserved no sun, no home or route.

Always

ALWAYS. ********

Understand.  I MUST go
On these clearing acts of
Instinct and inspiration, these flashings
As they come.  For a blizzard has
Been moving in and the snow is
Piling up by the foot...So the doors
Must be kept cleared.  The temperatures are
Not rising.  The storm pounds in
From the west, but I part the curtains awaiting
The sun

Shining Preface

Deep blue turbulent waves roll across the bay
Cold wind forms white caps on this sunny day
Moving all across the water’s surface
As if all of this, is just a shining preface
Remnants of fall last in brown leaves flying around
What is coming with winter is yet to be found

But, I found you in my spirit and mind
Shining

The Preface of a Slide

Those men who come in crowds
and move multitudes uncountable
begin on high grounds with joy
then there comes  slippery preface

Gross praise, flattery, faked joy
painting foolishness on the lovers
chanting hymns of duped adoration
begetting species of blind men

And the preface of the slide rages
laughing without happiness within
creating success without success
preaching loyalty with iron fist

When the slide comes unpredicted
goats

Preface

Between life and death 
a photo finish race 
will decide the relationship.

There was intoxication 
at heights. Your throat had 
become hoarsed, sliced 
after a scream. Matchsticks 
were thrust in the 
gnawed mound of kneaded 
flour. The kitchen 
was going to explode.

Barehands you were
picking the black beans;
parting me lip by lip
caressing me thumb by thumb.

Preface To a Jamaican Farewell

PREFACE TO A JAMAICA FAREWELL

When I’m gone
remember me in tamarind season
reflecting the bitter
sweet of life we shared

Raise eyes 
to the ambers 
and blues of Caribbean skies

Listen to the thunder
and hear my soul 
soaring

In the searching winds of time
look for me in the ebb and flow
of  the tides:

Frothing the shores 
with salted memories.

Living In My Personal Hell (Preface To My Book)

“It is a never ending nightmare that I cannot wake up from. I keep trying to run away, but it 
seems the pain is always one step ahead.”
	As I open my eyes I can see the blurry vision of my desk and the cup I left on it 
last night. I can hear the rain

Between the Moon and Th Sun (A Preface)

You would think it enough
How this body wears its time
Like a fading memory
Of cycles 
In the prison of the sun

Prisms, prisons, pyramids
They are all the same
Priests of muted things
In the ritual of identity
Of this sense of I
Isolated from the world
Seeking a mortality
For matter

Yet even after death
I am there
In the winds breath
Making leaves drunk with green
I

Preface (From My Secret Sin)

Perhaps my thoughts could be safe
In a book of poems, an opening preface
Perhaps I could give the reader a taste
Of a book of poems, or an opening preface
These poems are created to capture images of life
Take these critiques to the front of the scrimmages with your wife
These poems are written to challenge the reader
To become
