Forever

From seven all through eleven,
we glided through heaven.
Alternating our senses
and appreciating each other's essence.
And with your warm embrace in mine
and our hands in a twine,
we made each other unwind.
Our talk revolved,
as tick did the clock.
We gazed at each other in thought,
acknowledging the temptation it brought!
Slowly, innocence wore out,
and greed tore in.
Love then paired us and drowned us!
And like a mellow chorus,
we held gently in caress,
As our bodies met in a beautiful mess.
Serene silence floated between us,
as kisses reigned in the tango that was us
and for a period as lovers,
forever was the only answer!

His Hell

It roars thunder and bellows a storm,
it's vengeful like scorned gods.
A gory feature of demonic forms!
And I see it more and more envelop,
everything about me.
Everything sanity marshals!
Till words said to me,
get repelled in possessed denial
and all innuendo overted towards me,
gets ejected with stern and grotesque facials!
And into a cold being, denial turns me
and makes me neurotic, yet leaves my intentions serial!
"Who I am," becomes totally strange to me,
and my essence negates all barriers of life.
Self loathe understating the strife!
And with depression lodged firmly in gripe,
I become a "with nothing to lose" type of brother!
No shame but a thirst for blood:
the plight of a crusading Aquarian knight!
A torture you wouldn't wish to witness.
And so if ever that low again I sink,
Hell's furnace will forge my knife.
And anger, rage and agonizing pain will capture my gist!
Pride, failure and a courageous fight,
will boldly describe my Hellenic might!
One where not even a "child god" could title my ego!
A beastly strength with canon devastation,
madness that rivals Hell's foundation.
Not a war but a universal feud!
Armageddon’s renewable fuel,
a superb engine with only one defect:
a minute window of love,
that everyone will successfully not find! 
The ALPHA of a professed OMEGA!

Nefertiti

How I feel about you
makes me proud to be a man
you're my ego's keeper,
a love giver,
my heart's teacher,
a perfect picture
with all your pretty features!
you define what's richer,
the price for what ought to be culture,
truly what my heart is after!
You embody soul
and your speech, seldom foul
like my favorite song,
your melody is softly loud
like a thin cloud,
you're eager to grow
you shelter my blood
and with you is where I want to be found
in your arms I want to be bound
Taken, stirred or ground,
I'll take any form of you I'll find!
Like an exam, your body I'll study
Master all that excites you silly
Be the only man in your party
Infinitely in for eternity!

Pointed Snob

Point me a finger
And at least just consider
My desperate state

Point me a finger
Even though in disgust
And calm this little dust

Point me a finger 
Even if the middle one
And I’ll make you the little one

Point me a finger 
Even though in anger
And I’ll knock a little harder

Point me a finger
And rotate it with vigor
And I’ll grow a little bigger

But ignore me not
For I’ll grow no more
And become just a little knot!

Part-time Fool

People lie to me about big things,
people lie to me about small things.
They lie about what's dear to me,
they lie about what doesn't bother me.
They speak highly of crooked beings,
they downplay important things.
I'm told half and no truths at all.
And like colors on a spectrum,
bright is passed as dull and off.
Big is watered down as relative,
where small has no relation.
They claim with authority,
yet they're responsible for a minority.
They carry my capacity in bits,
whilst telling how I'm a nitwit.
Not knowing,
I might be a fool, but I'm only a fool sometimes.

Mercedes

Mercedes for fast
Or powerful Mercedes 
Maybe fly like Mercedes,
Or with Mercedes prestige!
Probably sleek Mercedes,
Or could be cute Mercedes,
Or just plain Mercedes,
But definitely not old Mercedes!

Mercedes confidence,
Mercedes revered.
Mercedes with mercy,
Mercedes for mercy.
But seldom arrogant Mercedes!

Mercedes conflicted,
Mercedes revised.
Mercedes in reverse,
Mercedes strictly reserved.
Confined in Mercedes,
Confide in Mercedes.

Comfortable in Mercedes,
Inseparable from Mercedes,
And unmistakably Mercedes!
So be Mercedes, 
Or keep guessing who she is!

All I can do!

Because that is all I can do!
Influence the little spheres where I have presence!
A little space for all my voices!
Voices that speak choices,
Choices that direct violence!
Violence so benevolent,
benevolently left for your choices!

Because that is all I can do!
Speak truthfully in all ways,
Weigh what is on my mind,
and temper it with the wind.
And wind up my mind,
into blissful smiles!

Because that is all I can do!
smile in confidence,
And confidently style my stance,
And smile at your glance,
Gleefully like in a trance,
and dance like it's my last!

Because that is all I can do!
sit patiently in silence,
Silently observing my audience,
and patiently saying less,
Tactfully without a mess,
and nod in acknowledgement!
Even when your paths are perilous!

Because that is all I can do!
no more than the next,
text all that is said,
and memorize the best,
messages you all  endorse,
and bless endlessly!

Because that is all I can do!
be genuinely present,
giftedly in your audience,
and nolstage your essence,
an indepth escape,
with all outcomes endless!
Because that is all I can do!
