Goodbye To Love
I traipsed through the night
and the morning dew
To open my heart
stars crossing in queue
And left on your doorstep
blooming anew
A floral surrender
— of loves adieu
**
The Delta’s Gulf
Rivers of chaos
flow into oceans
of harmony ...
Leaving the torrent
in the delta’s gulf
— for peace and depth
**
New Feelings
Poetry defies
explanation
Perhaps its greatest
strength
New feeling’s unfelt
emerging unspelt
Present
— in the words
**
Dark Dismay
Spurned and left dejected
his heart in disarray
Falling from love’s precipice
into dark dismay
Trapped beneath the anguish
without a last goodbye
Buried in rejected shame
— wishing he could die
**
Pray
Hoping for fame
a slave to its portal
Praying for truth
— its blessings immortal
**
Circle interrupted
The circle of life an death to comprehend?
The 7 levels, able to climb or descend,
Be not a bugger, a step up will lend,
Or slide with the lowest,
for bad deeds offend,
so many times, I’ve tripped and I fell,
the murder of friends, slipping down to the hell,
but upwards I’m climbing, not doing so well,
damnation around the polititian, the pompous its smell,
a spiral not seen, the camoflagued spell,
for we travel blind, with a clue, yet unspelt?
So have yet one care, when you’re robbing the poor,
Robbed in your turn, only ten times the more,
Payback does come, for an eye or a tooth,
Sow an ye reap, a slap down forsooth,
Within his eternal law,
So will you be returning some more, haw haw?

Summer dream
candy of my eye
sweet stream
gorjouse guy
love was once
love was twice
now its gone
and im all alone
tears fall
from my eye
stars fall
from the sky
loves unspelt
flowers melt
rain falls
thunder rolls
losing you
needing you
its all the same
dont say my name
wind blows
through the trees
down comes
all the leaves
heart broke into two
noticed i needed you
overflow of my tears
let go of my fears
show how much i do for you
i love you
i need you
i had you
i lost you
want you back
have to have
you by my side
all the time
please come back
back to me
i promise you
well always be
love was once
love was twice
please understand
hold my hand
love was once
love was twice
now its gone
make it mine
