A Desolate Bottle

A desolate bottle 



A desolate bottle lies as empty as my very being,
Through glazed eyes of sorrow double im seeing,
An impatient thirst longing for the devils quench,
Off to buy my misery from a loathsome wench,
En route a distorted entity stops and greets me,
Offering the most puzzling dichotomy,
To beat this sinister affliction,
Or merely revel in addiction,
Normality, I must try for this,
Or forever be confined to the luring water like narcissus.
I Bergin to ponder this, pampering the idea of a life of bliss,
But in a sudden act of hubris these thoughts I playfully dismiss,
Then a sadistic laurf stops me in my path,
A dark malevolent soul begins to take control,
The cold touch of a scythe drags me into a bottomless hole ,

Ode To the Orchid

ode to the Orchid


A summers day . an orchid like no over catches my eye,
Petals heavenly shades of violet and pink entwined,
The vivid cloulers a divine taste of paradise handed down from gods,
Surely A portrait of the luxurious treasures that await us all in the afterlife,
O to stay and gaze at this beauty all day,
But night draws and ends my love affair with the orchid.

To Have An Epiphany

To have an Epiphany



To have an epiphany,
Greeted by a white night carrying my sense of well being,
Finally, The long sought after absence of my Neurosis,
My psyche no longer plagued with antipathy,
the divine intervention, a heavenly moment of clarity,
I am forever indebted to the angels for this epiphany.

To have a epiphany
Kissed by a biutiful maiden from the heavens
Her soft cherry red lips slowly emancipating my mind
Long dark hazel hair and emerald green eyes
Rid my soul of corruption and lies

To have a epiphany
My liberated spirit floats over me playfully meandering back and forth
It soars through clouds are white as the most precious pearl, skis paradise blue
A warming smile from god, my whole life in front me,
My Existence, A pure loving rush of ecstasy
