Smokey Filled Speak Easy

In the dim-lit alley of the soul's bazaar,
Were jazz and jive spill from ajar,
We tap our feet, snap fingers, under stars,
And speak in verses, raw and without pause.

The city breathes, a living, pulsing beat,
Its heart a drum, its voice a saxophone,
We weave through streets, our words a rhythmic feat,
In its sync with life yet distinctly our own.

We are scribes of midnight's whispered tales,
Our ink, the dreams that dance in smokey air,
Each line is a track on which our spirit sails,
A journey deep, beyond the skin, we dare.

So let us write, with passion as our guide,
Some beat poems, where truths cannot slide.
Then we'll take a carpet ride,
Sail across space standing side by side.

Dear Love, I Would

Dear Love, I Would

Your lips would make, 
For a gentle kiss
Your arms would make 
For the perfect hug. 

Your hand would make, 
A perfect fit for mine
You're the one I would love
To have beside me now.

You're the one I want, 
To share my heart and life with
I wish I knew what I did 
To deserve you showing up?

Because I would do it again!

Separation of a Seasoned Love

What, if any, shall my love be; if tho is not there in the meadow of our season? Will our love wilt as flowers do in the burning sun without thy water to sip into its roots? Shall we not meet by the tree in the meadow of our love? But, if it is not ordained, how so may it go forth, in the bloom of the day of our meadowed love seasoned? I do miss thee, when we are parted from us, in our meadows; seasoned love.

Separation of a Seasoned Love


Our love is, but, just a separation, 
For just a bit longer from one another. 
For our souls still, 
Danced in the moonlight of our season of love. 

Oh, how I've missed our time 
Spent physically with one another. 
The anticipation of us again in the heavens, 
Exciting the taste of our beauty we had the chance to live. 

My love, until we are reunited;
I shall count the seconds till our harmony; 
And, is together, and once again regained. 
My love for Him is forever eternal, 
Faithful, as the love that once lived here. 

Rest my love, 
May our Lord shine on our beauty, 
And again, by mornings dew;
Shall we be together again?

The Abyss In Loving Someone

The Abyss In Loving Someone


Falling in love with the darkest abyss of someone's soul,
Finding their ugliest, darkest part of them.
Rounding up the demons that lurk around inside of them,
The deep darkest abyss of their souls' sea.

Then when no one is watching,
You get down to the deep level of their souls.
And then there you'll feel as though,
You've seen and felt their hell.

When you get that deep inside someone:
You'll find that;
You'll need to love the hell out of that one person.

Or if you've to fall in love, for that one's light,
Before having to stand alone in the darkness of them?
Then you'll be loving those people,
On top of the surface, they show you.

But that isn't real:
It's lusts of their flesh.
Where the eyes of a human had opened:
From the temptations that were born; 
By dark forces and were ashamed.

And that's the devil's playground,
Wanting you to bite from it's forbidden.

Just Me: Part 1

Just Me: Part 1

I am just me.
That's all I am.
Nothing more. 
Nothing less.
I am me!

I Know This

As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have had many blessings...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have had many curses...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have met many friends...
As I walk through this world,
I know this ...
I have lost many friends...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have had many failures...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have achieved great feats...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have found much hatred ...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have found so much love...
I know this...

As We Are

For the days grow old, 
As do we
I search for this woman 
It was meant to be. 

I found that woman, 
Which is you 
So, I searched my heart 
I found this to be true.
 
For I shall hold your love, 
With blissful joy 
To me, you have been
The blessing I had asked for. 

For now, it is time, 
To tell the world
Having you with me 
Was love to be shared.

Friends

Friends


Friendship is the kind of love, 
that never can grow old.
 
Warm and cozy it will stay, 
when other things are cold.
 
Friendship is a love so true, 
it won't be denied.
 
Because a friend will always be there, 
close by your side.
 
Lovers come and go, 
in this game of life we play.
 
But a true friend, no matter what, 
in your heart will always stay. 

So hold these friends dear to you, 
and never let them go.

Think how much they mean to you, 
and make sure to tell them so.

The Departed Son

I love you much, 
Billy Patrick, 
And I miss you so much more! 

I hope you're resting peacefully, 
I'll see you soon at Heaven’s door!

Until we reunite, my son, 
Keep an eye from above on your so
Help him along his way!

You left him way too soon,
But that was God’s design
Even though you didn’t want it that way.

Let Eoin feel you still exist with his heart, 
He won't judge you
Coming eternally from inside.

That, you never intended on, 
Leaving him so soon
From the way that you departed.

But, things happen so unexpectantly.
It was a state of confusion 
That took me to the illusion
That you were still here the whole time. 

It’s time that I let you go, 
My son
Rest peacefully
Smile, I’ll see you on the inside.

RIP., William Darnell Jr

Embedded

Even though you're not here, 
I miss your morning meows
I've ignored you parting from me
But, you haven't gone anyhow. 

I remember six years ago,  
When you came into my life
We had so much fun back then
Those years have `been our best flight!' 

The best cat anyone could ask for, 
Sure was super stylish for being a cat
I'll see you again, my fur buddy friend
You keep a lookout for me until then. 

I've learned a great deal from you, 
It was last year you departed
I know you're still around here
Because you've embedded in my heart.

R.I.P. Mischief Lotus, my love to you!
