Short Severs Poems

like the assailant's knife 
it slices, pierces 
sometimes severs an artery 
then leaves
the most beautiful 
scar...

Blue eyes,
laughing,
 hands;
unkindly the memories pile together.
Severs of the heart shied away
kissing at their enclosure....

Atomic energy splits, severs
Releasing turbulence, choas

An act of perception
Seismic duality

Disintegrating particle beams
Jumping off the wave of light...

It’s blade severs night;
A razor flying through space 
leaves an injured void.  
Soaring legs in marathon; 
meteor in burning flight.

The minds of men cannot conceive
that creativity does not relieve
the uncertainty of distant crows
or the things that no one knows
of life and its sharp-edged blade
that severs the dreams we have made....

Around, all around the angels gather. My dread grows as the headsman's axe falls against my neck.

It severs me, and my darkly my blood drips

to the grass

while death flows.

Now alone, my blood falls upon bleeding eyes. 

This is my hell...

Many are lost amidst this spiralling loss
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
Extensions to us in pandemic slaughter

When we've lost whom we love, it severs
But it's the many whom don't give track
Then be their 'Heaven's Hung in Black'...

A true Poet cannot
Hide what he feels'
In side,
He severs' his anger
And
Tempest his pride
And
With a Masquerade
Of assure Nance
With an innuendo
Or two
He is bound to strike
Something Posey
In you,
Something significant
Always' something new

‘Tis a morning for mourning.
Do you hear the banshee’s wail?
She shrieks of death’s warning.
Another being will be impaled.
Wooden stake goes through the heart.
Death severs consanguinities.
Yea, from here it is time to part.
Such is everyone’s destinies.

Tires my emotions,
I'm left with dry vociferations..... (vocabulary(?))
Blanks my mind,
And severs my dictations.
Steals my thoughts,
And rapes my mind.
Breaks and violates,
Privacy shut down.

Feelings closed off,
Barred, avoiding judgement.


~Written in mid-2003 when I was fourteen/fifteen....

   "Sweet Taste of Love"



sweet taste
of true love
is divine essence
sprinkled from heavenly skyline by Angels.

thin line
severs love
hate resonates heart 
dagger thrusts ---

love conquers life if hearts remain faithfully
as the golden arch shatters dreams caged in death.

As the angels gather,

My dread grows as the angry hand of heaven

falls against my sinning naked soul.

It severs me, and darkly my essence drips to the dirty ground.

In horror, I cry out while the nothingness hovers close.

Now alone, my soul falls upon closed eyes.

I see the light.

This is my Redemption...

Around, all around, 
the dark memories gather. 
My dread grows 
as the headsman's axe 
falls against my neck. 
It severs me, 
and darkly my blood drips 
to the cold, 
uncaring tombstones. 
In unholy terror 
I flail madly 
while the Reaper 
laughs cruelly. 
Now alone, my blood falls 
upon uncaring eyes 
  
This is your love....

Alone in a Crowd

Blossoms fall and sparrows fly, to the center of the earth and the sun

Branches break and breezes chill, and we wonder at the moods of a lake

Mountains throw shadows with the strength of a storm, rivers deep do run

Loneliness severs and cuts to the bone, for how can one give, when there is no one to take?...

Why couldn't I have been disposed sperm & egg?
Turn back time, eliminate me, I beg!
All this angst fills my strained brain,
Whilst tribulation severs me insane.
If not for fear, I'd suicidally assert my second amendment,
Propose & execute a freeing, well-earned sentence.
Consumed by wrenching despair colder than bone,
I'll surely be happiest when I finally die alone....

My heart is breaking piece by piece
a little every day.
I bury each and every shard
so that in the dark they lay.

The pieces cut like broken glass
a mirror that's been shattered
no longer there to reflect my soul
but severs what once mattered.

I wish that I could resurrect
this heart with pieces lost
and put it back once more together
then forgive what it has cost....

On life's inclusive scroll of merits seen,
stands few above a true commitment made.
Affairs have shown enduring goals do lean
upon firm resolutions deeply laid.
With solemn oath man's troth can't be charade,
supporting leaders, mind must be resolved.
Cause taken means devotion dare not fade,
and given promise may not be dissolved.
Until death severs union, we can't be absolved....

Bananas

Leaf
six feet long
fingertip to elbow wide
fat red flower
dangling from
bottom of the bunch
we watch as
each petal falls
and when the last one
drops to the ground
Fruit is ready
to pick and ripen
succulent and sweet
razor sharp machete
severs the whole stalk
and tomorrow
another takes its place
as we devour rice
and garlic shrimp
from banana leaf plates......

Disappointment
So deep it severs the heart strings.
Pain 
So sharp it cuts right to the core.
Doubt
squeezing out the breath of life.
Confusion
As to the choices made.
Panic's arrows
Piercing the curtain of silence.
Depression
Settling like a shroud of darkness.
Shame
For the person you've become.
Guilt
Because you can't break free.

Alcohol's my name,
Destruction's my game....

Holding out for a sign of life.
You're distant now, 
And distance severs love
Like love separates difference.
True only to our hearts, and minds
And never to desires of the flesh - 
Solid and alive with darkness: -
Every cell a reminder of that
Which we cannot control.  
I'll live this life only as long
As the sunlight keeps flickering
Through the black clouds above -
Helpless and constant - 
Reminding us that hope is here
To help us ride out the storm....

Come find me in solitude
wheels in both hands
confined to smooth movement
legs in motion
carefully studied years before
in colored tights

On dry bed
Small rustles in the dark
swift touch of silken hair
nervous bristles
That cutting sharpness
fragile green
disappears in dusk
in corners and
leaves

Grass seductively winks
when too close
punishes a tender caress
opens a spine 
bares
and severs
