Sex, Sweat and Perfume

Sex,sweat and perfume
Still consume this room
The sheets washed a thousand times
Yet laced with our swansong

I lay on pillows new
But just like morning dew
As droplets of us are evaporating 
I'm left...with all the aromas...and envisage what they bring

But there's nothing left to anticipate 
A swansong heard now on death we await
To feel your lips upon mine one last time
Delicately parted by my tongue

My muse...my Alice Prin
Who brings forth unadulterated sin!
For the amount of canvases who have felt my strokes some may deem me amateur
Yet through constant connective awareness,readdressing and adjusting minute details
I have intensified my masterstroke so i fill the canvas and it swells to produce
Cream of the Crop

They said love conquers all
To believe that are you a fool?
To be questioned on passion, lust and love coexisting?
A question only asked by those still searching!!

For I won't settle for anything less

I Asked

I asked you to love a broken man
I asked you to love a man with no plan
I asked you to love a man with unknown orders..
I asked you for far too much..

I asked you to not be scared of the Marine
I asked you not to believe in the obscene
I asked you not to forgive me from my past..
But by contrast..let me brake from the order 
Let me change parameters and strive to be all i can be for you...
Let me Love...Let me dedicate..Let my soul escape the cages
of conform and let it lye with you day and night...
Let my heart only be yours..
Let me believe I am life...
I am a man who doesn't want to bring death anymore...
Let me be that strength.
Let me be strong without violence...
I never want to hear a child cry as I defy..what i believe in for politics.

I asked you to  love a man that was still bleeding
I asked if you to love a man that was still revealing
I asked you to love a wilting bloom...
I asked you to never touch...

But you broke that and became a Savage gardener 
Culling and cutting those deepest roots
To try and decipher lies from truths
Yet my words have no impact...are you being obtuse
I asked For Your Hand..

There were no weeds in my heart
Appease and placate...not my art
My art!!..My heart bleeds Know Thyself 
I only asked for Ourself..Together Our wealth

Angel Without Wings

You held my hand as we walked through pouring rain
Yet you were absent when my tears rained
Your embrace protected me with no blame
Yet now your lost from me who's to be blamed?
Your loving breath caresses my face
Now I'm devoid of breath how can life be faced?
Our soul's childlike games playing chase
My soul now a lone wolf, never embraced

Why are you know where to be found tonight?
My angel without wings has took flight
Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
Absence took my life this night

You were a tenant, my heart your home
Now it rests uninhabited, never re homed
Your spirit opened doors we ventured through
No doors or ventures my forsaken can enter through
With open eyes our world was pure to view
My eyes wide shut, only darkness viewed

Why are you know where to be found tonight?
My angel without wings has took flight
Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
Absence took my life this night

Finally I Sleep

I quietly closed the door..
Paced slowly across wooden floor
To my bed I could see...
The job of sleeping coming to me..

My children laying in all their beds..
Their dreams filled with innocence..
Not knowing what Daddy has done..
No more play with Daddy and fun..

Daddy tucked you in tonight..
But Daddy is losing the greatest fight
Daddy is struggling; a house our home..
Daddy loves you; Without her...I'm alone

So Daddy loves you still..
But since she left us I've felt ill 
Daddy tucked you in tonight with no fear
But I never promised... I would always be here

I hope these pills do work
For in deep sleep I'll not hurt
Just dream of how our life should have set scene
Before all the stuff that should have... never been 

Don't call me a failure because I tried
This was the easy way!!?.who says that lied...
My babies I love you and tucked you in tonight..
But without her love....I have no fight..

My head finally feels heavy
As I lay on this last melody
Yet there is no laughter in tonight
For all laughter has took flight

Breathing seems to slow
I never made the antiques row
I once wrote about one last kiss
Her breathe...my lungs..dismiss

One Last Kiss

They lied when the said..

There's always time for one last kiss
For mistakes I made refused me this
So I atone my deeds and willfully repent
Yet those lips were still laced with...

No consent...no content
To represent or reinvent a single percent.... 
Of what we once had

So I leave those lips to discontent and disgust..
To ponder over deceit and deception
Deciphering delicately....
to what our future holds
because....
There's always time for one last kiss.

On Love We Feast

Firstly i am Portraying my poem in a literal sense..

This aching heart is in agony through emotional wounds
You cannot see the wounds yet.. tears fall and portray them
Through the shedding of tears..I must believe that something will come of this pain
So as they land on ground..I imagine them enriching the earth and providing for others in pain
Everyone trying to escape...let somehow my tears be their aid...

But for all of you that feel like me...we know love is our sin..our overindulguence...oh to be loved

Transform the rawness of my emotions..take it..use what my tears have provided and feed no pain to the masses

But life will still go on
We cannot defy the winds of change...never
But that doesn't make right now any easier
When all I want is what I had before the pain


The original poem


When this heart bleeds 
Tears rain on planted seeds
Crops will grow and never cease
To fulfill those in need of release
Trapped souls trying to escape it's means
Cornered within crying out...Please!!

On love we feast 
On love we feast

Turn those crops to yeast
Let them rise in soul protected heath
Yet activity lies beneath 

Unseen..life still weaves
On my cheek it breathes
And kisses me...
Infinitely

But before it leaves
My heart pleads
One...Last...Embrace
