In the dark shadows,
Fallowed, shallowed and hollowed,
Some remain sorrowed....

Twilight makes a sorrowed ground
In her dark is where I'm found
Here I be his final shadow
Growing but dying this I know...

the sun is only my shade
the darkness is only my light
the day is my night
because my eyes doesnt see what they should
cause life will always be misunderstood
opposite
thats the reality living in the hood...

I held my tongue 
 cradling a wound
I once nursed back to life

You never did listen
 Deaf ears sorrowed muse
Rehash my pain

Now here I stand 
 Fallen to my knees--unheard
Loved of spite

For a love 
 that cradled a bruise
Left me estranged...

Poppies grow on bone meal

Will the sorrowed soil heal


A wooden cross shows fare

The bullet one should spare


When minds have come to rest

Could madness be a test


For those who never learn

That Karma does return

Asleep, it seemed, on lonely stretch of beach,
wearing toddler’s clothes, life just out of reach;
wretched photo destined to win many awards
while families assaulted by hatred’s petards,
many villains here caused this sorrowed fate,
pinned by vicious manifestations of human hate....

Wettened by the mornings dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love and I had walked, alone

Sunlight enhanced her golden hair
A tear fell as alone I left her there 
Her sorrowed words begged me to stay
As each step took me further away....

Slept and slumbered under the quinine stains we wept,
On a poignant bard’s weary nib we slept.
Yearned we to spill  on to paper,
Him caged sore thoughts for later.
Weeping words we lay folded,
On table, heart moulded.
Sorrowed dirge lament,We repent,..................dissent ...

amidst the dunes of restless seas
my arms outstretch in sorrowed pleas
beneath the lash of winds i fall
atop the grains of sands i crawl

Mortality rides upon my shoulders
Whispers words of doubt into my ears
It has taken from me precious moments
With the blink of an eye turned them to years

Tearing at the cracks in my memories
Revealing my deepest desires and fears
Confusing fantasy with reality
And turning happiness to sorrowed tears

How I miss the way we kissed-
Our lips were locked and laced with bliss
So why did our Love end like this?
Never to be the way we had wished...

Of sorrowed Hearts, to lament and mourn,
Borrowed Hopes in Truth to burn
The Rose of Love is thick with thorns:
So when I'm pricked, so then I've learned

*Every Rose has It's Thorn Contest...

tempted mistress bore a son
acid spit from serpents tongue
sinners sin with no remorse
natures crule and twisted course
passions lust fades away
embedded in the soul to stay
pain conceived of rage
trapped with in a lovers cage
hatreds blade sheds scarlet tears
glaring eyes, ringing ears
adultery's sorrowed tail
an innocents life impaled...

Missing You

So many the days
so long now the time
so distant the memories 
of your hand in mine

So long ago the nights
near forgotten the dreams
a lifetime gone by
now it all seems

So sorrowed my heart
now alone in this place
lost in the longing
for your sweet embrace

longing to see 
that smile on your face

When you feel sorry for yourself
How can I lend a hand? 
For isn't it your choice
That alone you choose to stand? 

When you choose to isolate
Yourself from those you love
Is it not yourself you choose to hate
Declining the help from above? 

When you choose to walk alone
A road of sorrowed soul
For whom did Jesus then atone?
What was His highest goal?...

word sniper
mental piper
i
am
still
known
speak from me
knowledge from spit
rainbows question marks
what rain of love produced a shadow
tis but mine
this reflctioning of pale
sea foam sorrowed sand
time is but my riddle fiddle
for myselfs bit back hand
insanity fondles trapped
perpetually clapped
for me
mister 
mental piper

I’ve scraped together peace where I could find it
When sorrowed, I no longer feel the need to hide it

I’ve played the role again 
Of a child’s favorite toy
Cherished for a short, short while
Then forgotten and cast away 
 

Well, i no longer care...
Life will ever be unfair
But it goes on, so I should too, 
and I’ll have to play this game
without you.

We were young, so innocent and much in love.
A bright future and the world was ours to own.
Our plans were abruptly changed by Him above.
Sorrowed and bereft, I  faced my life alone.
It has been many years since we were parted.
My loved one died and left me broken hearted.
Our true love paid the price for all the sorrow,
And warms me still and helps me through tomorrow....

A lone violin 
cried through time
this sadness wept
by strings divine

Sorrowed in madness
stringed to maid fair 
his pain of love
lost to deep cares

Vision of beauty
her hair alight
shining a beacon
splendid to sight

Lost in his love
failure to see
pining for him
most passionately

Angels guardian
observe from above
tears drop to hope
grace rains of love...

If tears were poetry, 
my words would flow
in a constant stream
onto the dampened paper,
running together in a blur
of forever promises
and hoped for futures

But alas they are merely
salt stained lines
in sorrowed cursive fonts,
drenched in phrased sadness,
falling from my eyes,
flooding the cracks
of my broken heart

If tears were poetry,
I would be a poet...

I have waited 
And still wait
For break of dawn 
and Nita, my woman

I have sorrowed 
And still sorrow
This hook of fate
Delay not my woman!

I have thirsted
And still thirst
At the fountain of love
And still wait for her.

Now the sun has risen
And workers hurry to town
And children back to school
But still no sign of Nita!

Nita, if these lines 
should reach you
Hasten! 
My heart is sore with yearning!...

I sit here day and day,
Wondering why you had to become this way,
The days have become smaller,
Because of all the pain I have sorrowed.

The light fades faster and faster,
Due to the fact that this was a total disaster,
We should have never tried to become one,
Cuz' all we did was push everyone.

Now we have lost everything,
And that makes me really sad,
Wondering why I lost my best friend,
Which was also my dad....

What sage who ever came
could ever come again
just to trace dusty steps
he paced within his den.

To ponder worldly truths
to figure them for lies
and spit sour blades of grass
between his sorrowed sighs.

To kneel to pray to cry
to a God without name
and move in tattered robes
which cloak his fragile frame.

Where is this wisest one
who keeps secure the key
one that leads to our worlds
he’ll be where he will be....

When swift wind is blowing
and birds free breeze the dale
my hopeless heart is lightened
gone the gloomy gale.

When sweet child is playing
and laughs full loud with glee
my mirthless mind is gladdened
gone the sorrowed sea.

When mauve moon is rising
and stars shine through the night
my shadowed soul is brightened
gone the bleary blight.
