who can fix a soul,
a soul as black as coal,
a soul thats lost it's meaning,
and now is left undone.
my soul feels so heavy,
like a flood against leavy.
who can fix my soul....

The sky is black as the night when the stars do not show,
Black as the feathers of a somber crow.
Black as coal when the firelight dies,
Black as life dying from a sick one's eyes....

Art dug down, into the depths of his soul
Turned up the darkest fears, black as coal
   He'd gone 'a-haunting'
   But found it daunting
Wondered, 'Am I he for whom the bell tolls?'...

In a Stable 
A handsome stud waits
With a mane black as coal 
His coat a shiny black under his blanket
With eyes brown as the maple bark
Longing for attenion
His mind wonders 
As he moves his head 
Left to right 
Hoping for his master...

Black as coal and moody as teenagers  
The storm steadily approaches home,
Rumbling, growing ever louder,
War-like violence above,
Shaking homes and raw nerves
As frequent flashes  
Of forked lightning
Light the sky
Soon to
Die....

You have such a beautiful soul
You are an angel, so beautiful
Life’s hardships took its toll
Now, you play me the silly fool
This pain deep down ain’t cool
Make me happy as a whole
You are an angel, so genuine
Precious as black burning coal...

Black is as Black as Coal

White is pure driven snow

Grey is somewhere in between

I therefore wonder what you mean

So I will wait until daylight

For you to wake up from your night

I hope that what you mean

Is that grey is nowhere to be seen

DAMO...

Three Humorous Senryu 

If winter landscape 
Had snow that was black as coal 
It would still be cold 

If sunlight was green 
Shining on crimson nature 
It would still be hot. 

If rain was yellow 
Running like horse piss in streets 
It would still be wet....

There is a fountain pen leaking ink into a reservoir
near an ink road.
It continues to leak until the reservoir is full
and the water in the reservoir becomes as black as coal,
matching the stained dirt of beaches
and the fountain pen gone dry
shall write it's truths no more....

The heart is glass,
Or so I'm told ,
Thats why my heart no one can hold .

Its hidden and its as black as coal ,
Untouchable by any soul.

I wont relent for anyone ,
Let people in , it cant be done .
Ill protect till my very end ,
My cold black heart  , my darkest friend....

Hair black as coal eyes matching
Lips tastefully wanting
Desiring needing and want
Body perfectly built

Legs tantalizing and wondering
Hands soft to the touch
Arms needing my body
Intelligent above others

Who is she?

I have no clue but she sounds, HOT!!
When you stop dreaming your in a coffin, lol...

Dotty doggy duo, daily derring-do,
descending leaves decorating yard,
Beau-black as coal,
brown-eyed batty Gus,
barking brazenly, bounding,
both bonkers?
a boisterous, "You betcha!"

Kings of calamity-
canines of chaos,
squirrels scurry for sweet sanity,
scolding silver September
acorn gatherers,
sedulously seeking sedatives!...

God Is Gold

With hands held high, To heaven I will fly,

With God's angels by my side, 

Shed nomore tears, Please don't cry,

The devil is faceless, He has no smile,

He remains without my soul,

 Death on his life will take it's toll,

His heart as black as coal, 

He is to remain in his firey dark hole,

 I stay with God, and God Is gold....

Rustling skirts of gypsy women
Ears all tattered with gold
Tambourines and bells abide
While hearts fly by on wings of old

Hoops of flaming fire
Honey nectar flows freely so
Eyes are black as coal at night
Red lips are all aglow

So Rustle those skirts my Gypsy Love
and stay with me a while
I feel you near my Gypsy Love
Come and make me smile...

As blind as a bat,
as brave as a lion,
and stupid as a goat.

As busy as a bee,
as fat as a pig,
and happy as a king.

As strong as  a lion,
as heavy as a load,
and rude as fool.

As black as coal,
as cold as ice,
and white as snow.

As hot as fire,
as green as  grass,
and sweetly as juice.

All in all,
makes one thing,
common in life....

His heart as black as coal, 

He is to remain in his firey dark hole,

 I stay with God, and God Is gold.

Do you remember?
No? Let me lend you my mind
You see, you weren't so kind
Now, lets go back in time
So you may remember your crime
Now you see, my blood stains your soul
Your heart is as black as coal
My screams fill your head
While my body remains dead
Why are you crying fool?
OH, is it cause I'm doing the exact same thing to you?
Now tell me, do you remember?...

Shot out of a cannon as far as the eye could see          Where I land is totally up to me      Floating on clouds high up in the sky      Is this my fate       Is this where you die       Black as coal      Cold as ice      Is this Gods wrath      His device      Shot out of a cannon         As far as the eye could see        Is this my hell       All I can be...

Apple of my brain is buried
in the depths of a Rose Garden

Secrets of my inner soul are
buried beneath the ground I stand on.

My heart that beats pain is in an
oasis of it's own.

The river that flows down my begotten
face, turns into ashes with each drop
that falls

My eyes are black as coal,
For no more pain can I see
For no more pain can I inflict....

Oh Darkness,
How you long to be whole.
Darkness fights the light,
Darkness black as coal.

Only with the light,
Can you be known.
Yet you seek to block knowledge,
The seeds of ignorance you have sewn.

Oh Darkness,
Hiding the truth, you oppose the few
You are the Darkness,
The Darkness is in you.

While the world is dreaming
I feel like screaming
I lie awake 
About to break

The world isn't fair
No one seems to care 
As i try to hide
Theres nothing left to find

A veil is all i ask for
And theres nothing more
Secret tears i must cry
For in my dreams i may die

People try to see inside
But there is only one thing they will find
A heart as black as coal
And not  of gold...

DARK AS NIGHT, BLACK AS COAL THE RAVEN IN THE SKY YELLS OUT TO ALL BELOW,
"I AM THE KEEPER OF THE SOULS." YOU SHOULD NOT FEAR ME BECAUSE I KEEP YOU
SAFE FROM ALL THE EVIL THAT LERKS IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL.
SO IF YOU SHOUD FALL TO YOUR ETERNAL SLEEP, I WILL BE THERE AT YOUR FEET.
AND WHEN YOU RISE UP I WILL BE THERE TO TAKE YOU TO THE OTHER SIDE.
FOR I AM THE RAVEN THE KEEPER OF THE SOULS....

Her name was Magic, Maggie for short
She loved being outside, and to cavort,
Black as coal from the local coal mine
She raised her hackles along her spine,
At night she made a soft meowing sound
Glad we rescued Maggie from the pound,
When winter came, she lived inside
We were all bereft when Maggie died.
