Then Til Now

Her conversation
chose pick of words
things he'd never thought
he'd ever hear
and things he was happy
 to have heard
she told him she loved him
and would be glad to
be his wife
a desire to settle down
he'd be her partner for life

I pause to think
a excitement overwhelmed me
a nervous anticipation
ah joy that overwhelms me
I'll ask you then
for the world to see

Too complex for quietness
too many words could undermine
Ia silly grin
exposed me
everyone knew what was on my mind
a Suttle harmony
a melody so eccentric
love over whelmes me
a passion within
what a special gesture
my lover and friend

In ebon pools

I'm blessed to see the curse
Of what has been stollen was reimbursed 
What was trampled was light as air
A boring view plagued with flare

In ebon pools of purity
So much comfort in obscurity 
In motion to what is frozen
Rejected by what is chosen 

I rely on that i can't trust
No passion for what i lust
Jocularity in my sadness
I'm suttle in my madness

Sin

Lo, do I grasp with my wretched fingers,
Onto where my heart it still lingers,
Tendrils hold as though a parasite,
With it's life causes my blight,
Even withered it does not die,
For its mother hears its cry,
Nurturing back to good health,
Yet it is I who have dealth,
Suttle thoughts fuel the proliferation,
Making death its instrumentation,
Rest from it comes with the welcome of dirt,
To a place where the heart shall not hurt.


Premium Member Melody Smile

Melody Smile 
Suttle expressions 
Delay, helpless pause 
Shyly into a haze 
A Melody Smile 
Softly quiet 
A simple home 
Empty pages Empty rooms 
Narrow to solitude 
Always reading victorian books 
Blushing bashfully 
Just wondering 
What is your name? 
I pass by you all the time 
So brittle like snow 
So dreamy through a stained glass window 
All hold all of your smile  
All walk with you through whimsical clouds 
A Melody Smile 
A shyly girl  
Breathtaking in a small town

Premium Member The Blooming Block

Sitting on the block of the day
Looking into amethyst abyss 
No longer seen as hunter or prey
Disenfranchised like blue cold kiss

Watching the animals fight their wars
Knowing some win some lose
Feeling the wrath of attention whores
Singing their hill street blues

On the block of irrelevant images 
Whatever the dress of the time
Homeless roaming toward suttle scrimmages 
For resources of food courses limited line

Lemon love served in a soul bowl 
From churches so big from no taxes
The church like homeless grow
Seem to me there’s no homeless factoring

We can pay for sports arenas sure
And ship athletes around the world
Leaving disenfranchised potential pure
Of the unhoused blue boys green girls

Sitting on my writer’s block
Not pretending to know wisdoms hacks
Really disenchanted with it all
Maybe my pen can bring me back to black

Forever

FOREVER

 You turned my water
 into wine. 
   You sent chills down 
My spine.

   You brought peace and 
Calmed my mind.
   You ran away and left 
Me behind.

   I was blown away by your
Suttle style.
   I would sell my soul to see
Your smile.

   I didn't know why you 
gave me a chance.
   I can still remember 
The way we danced.

   I can't help but feel it was
A waste of time.
   I can't believe I didn't see
The sign.

   It was hard to swallow you 
Were untrue.
   You see, my love still remains
With you.

   When love is real it can handle
The pressure.
   You asked, Will you wait for me?
I replied "FOREVER".
