through grey foggy fields
I trip over well-worn trails~

Repulsive rodents 
Roaming razed Russian ruins 
Post-nuclear war 
Hollowing our heritage 
Scarring our soiled Slavic state...

Cat and Mouse

I wish I had a Cat

As I have a Mouse 

Running about my house

And it is scarring the bejezus out of me...

The day I wrote, 
      They found me sitting with
      My pen in hand falling into
      A dark abyss scarring my
      Brain

Birds were very 
aggressive today

There is a ragged loud 
screeching swooping Hawk

Outside always
Protecting his territory 

Scarring the little gentle songbirds away...

Words have power, especially when curled up in strings.
They can love or hate or do evil things.
More power than all of mankind combined,
The power of words is scarring to find....

Teenage acne scarring
put an end
to your sojourn
your eyes as beautiful as dawn
glacial cheekbones
the shifting sands
of frozen time relieved
to the demure of wisdom
now realised...

small imperfections
ripples scarring view
shrug and move on
letting life flow renew

looking at feeble form
we see that it thinks
let blissful our touch be
as joy life moments links...

You will meet a false christian or even two,
Making money off of Gods' back and then you,
Selling books about blasphemers to get paid,
Scarring the Lords' heart with page bound and laid....

The pungent smoke.
Someone was burning 
the wet rhymes.

      *

A wilted rose 
on the red lips of dawn, 
facing the moon.

       *

   The malicious 
darkness, you drink, 
   to welcome the sun.

Evening surrenduring,
I am at-once bird and man.
I cannot see the sky, 
Because I am the sky.
The warmth of simple bounty
Rolls through me in waves.
Leave your scarring ridges
To be remembered in the ebbs,
You, now, as my old friends laughter....

Oju -The Eye

 

Broken words

Piling up the fire

flaming the soul

scorching the man

stolen trust

leaving a fiery trail

scarring the man

starry eyes, o starry eyes

with a fleeting glimpse

peeking the soul

piercing the essence 

scattering barriers...

Inside is what destiny reveals,
depression scarring what never heals.
Over this ragged course of life,
through the hills of pain and strife.
Round the way darkness becomes the door,
a peep into realities sweet lore.
Focusing on dreams that perspire,
is all that remains of desire....

I envy those with elongated
Pretty threads
Running along the supple beds 
And a tone heavenly created

A mesmerizing scent
Caught from far
An unfamiliar star
Scarring those for rent

Shame how those eye-catching
Are mirroring the TNT to us exploded
And they watch as we eroded
Those that are naturally enchanting...

Do you think 

is my love is lust for you 
that I am carrying to find you 
scarring the dreams not to fall 
like leaf in a winter 

is my favorite color stnach 
by your hunger I am crying 
crazy to bring that like 
spring 

do you think we can pass 
the years of seasons in 
love 


with love all

Where  do demons dwell;
Just what is this place;
Just what is it called;
 sinners skin peeling drenched scarring
Hybrid heat burning & fires 
Eternally devoured
What is this place
What is the space
Where demons dwell


This is hell

The water drowns,
the skin bruises,
the eyes hide,
the kiss kills.
Weaving in and out
stitching myself up,
trying to fix myself
stitching the wounds left. 
The scarring will last forever
yet you play victim,
I'm falling for us both
this is the only defense I'm left.
The fire burns,
the mind sleeps,
the veins bleeds,
the kiss kills....

Can you feel 
My intense call?
Hear my loving
Crawl the wall
Carry Echoes
Of despair
Clouds of sorrow
Float in air.
Do I ever
Cross your mind
Just a ghost
Marking time,
Scarring thoughts
You will be mine
Committing sin
Cosmic crime.
Forgive my selfish
Eternal cry
Which will forever
Question why
This wasted love
Just had to die....

Isn’t it always 
On tip of his tongue
To mispronounce her love name
To call me

Didn’t want to show how fragile I was
So I kept my cool 
To pretend how strong I am
Though it was agonizing my heart

Heaps ran through my mind
Does my existence mean anything to him
How easy it was
To leave a scarring wound in my heart

Candle
Wax:

A circle around fire;
Melt it; I burn—
With pastel oils,
That stick.

Scarring stays on;
While in my eyes, my heart
Flickers for more—
(It blushes at its own slipperiness inside)
For within, its gift— to hide.

All tones are the same—
(Dark and darker)
While the fire lets out its
final gasp—
Before all wanes into 
Easy flesh....

halfway to heaven
on the border to hell
here on the surface
condemned to dwell
floating in limbo
perched in oblivion
false gaiety blocking
and scarring my vision
life is x marked by destiny
the path obscured by today
two roads diverge
but i chose neither way
expression is freedom
and choice is divine
both strictly governed
by place and by time...

If only, I could purge your will,
to bring you hence -
from some secure domain,
felt scarring from immense.

That larger apathy of trial - so hopelessly
I bring you back to wit!
A course filled destiny
that lighter steps can take,
because love lifts the stake.

Oh measure then, my love -
Without you in my wake,
a stride away - I fake contentment for thy sake!...

Breaking, bashing, creaking, crashing 
Pandemonic pounding pain
Reverberating bone to brain
Slamming, smashing, thrumming, thrashing
Mechanical chaotic grate
Echoing; can't concentrate

Scraping, scarring, jangling jarring
Bastard, broken beat becomes
Endless, dreadful demon drums
Maiming, marring, ringing, roaring 
Blaring banging babel beats
Repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats...

Age – and time –
have overcome
my youthful indiscretions
probably….
because ….age and time ….
withered my
indiscriminate behavior
age….allowing knowledge
time….allowing reflection
filtering the rage…of youth
through the scarring….of time
reflecting….
“If I knew then…..what I know now”
snarling
“you know now…. what you know now”
“what is different??”

After scarring, the big gap
confronts a mascot.
The caster is telling a lie.

Under shock and anger
you start cursing the renegade truth.

Black windows now perceive the light.

Nobody wants to catch the dust now,
falling from the stars.

War of words comes to disarming of
wailing hands.
I reconcile with the setting sun.

Back and forth, back and forth
the unabashed, moves a bridal moon.
