It's Over

Fallen--- face down in the dirt, your pale lips kissed the earth a marker will hold your place though the world may forget your face For you it's over... Remember when she said come back--- and then we'll Wed as the nightbirds begin to sing she holds your wedding ring with trembling hands... As your flame begins to dim soon you'll reach the end when your spark of life has fled you'll be counted among the dead For you it's over... Family trees were meant blossom now your spot is but a token as your lines forever broken For you it's over now... Your eyes will never see the pain--- the misery as darkness--- invades the minds of those you've left behind... For them--- it's just begun...

I Can'T Write

This is a parody of "I can't Dance." by Genesis.


Metaphor junkies
spewing their dung
actin all holy
like they've written in tounges...

Can anybody
interpret that (Bleep)
explain the poems meaning
with a comment that fits...

Then say, I can't write
or compose
demi-gods are out there
always breaking my (Bleeps...)

They say, I can't write
or compose
so I'm just sittin here typin anything...

Contests
really tickle a muse
seems the hosts
and poet are truly confused...

A muse ain't fickle
just knows what it likes
if you can't relate
then yours may take a hike...

They say, I can't write
or compose
tappin on this keyboard
till my fingers are numb...

They say I can't write
or compose
so I'm just sittin here typin anything...

Metaphor groupies
bow to the ground
ain't got a clue
of what the poem expounds...

But it's got image
and metaphors too
though I've seen better
on the walls of a loo...

They say, I can't write
or compose
everything I pen
is either weak or cliche...

Yeah I can't write
or compose
so I'm just sittin here typin...

Yeah I try to make it right...

Put the verbiage, in its proper place...

~Note~
I also write on another site as RunningWolves . On that site there some really rude poets who think they are Gods gift to humanity. They think everything they write is a masterpiece and are not shy about belittling people who's comments on their work aren't good enough for them. So, I wrote this for them. 

So this has nothing to do with anyone on PoetrySoup.

See, I never claimed to be a poet, nor to have anything that even remotely resembles talent. I am just an simple guy playing at poet. anything I do that even seems like a talent is really just God's way of keeping me from making a total fool of myself... I guess you could say its on loan from God... Thank you!

Materialistic

Greed sparks
the ravenous cravings
of a secular mind.

With insatiable hunger 
their spirits covet
desiring beyond need.

Insensitive humans
cannibalize their brothers
with no end in sight.

Where is compassion 
when legalities 
have no morals.

My Parody of Margaritaville By Jimmy Buffett

I've become a potato
and my couch is groanin
every time I stand up or sit down
my mind is all hazy
cause I'm gettin lazy
think I've gained about 25 pounds

Wastin away again because I'm quarantined
can't even go see my girl anymore
I swear to God, that I am goin insane
and I know, it's a socialist plot...

I don't have cable
no internet either
over the air is all I can get
my game systems broken
and man I aint jokin
even the service is out on my phone...

Wastin away again because I'm quarantined
can't even talk to my friends in the yard
I swear to God, that I am goin insane
and I know, it's a communist plot...

I've become my own jailer
locked in this trailer
cabinfever is comin on strong
I talk to my daisies
so I must be crazy
somebody save me before it's to late...

Wastin away again because I'm quarantined
regulations limit what I can do
I swear to God, that I am goin insane
and I know, it's the democrats plot...

Hope Jimmy Buffett doesn't sue me...bwahahahaha

To My Daughters, Alexandria and Christina

My daughters, I’m so very proud of you.
You have grown to become, fine young women.
Let not your hearts or lives be ruled by men.
Stand fast, and to your own desires be true.
Take what you need, but no more than your due.
Act cautiously, you are noblewomen.
Speak softly for, you are gentlewomen.
Let integrity shine, in all you do.

Know this my daughters, I've always loved you.
Every day, you are in my thoughts, my prayers.
That God grant you wisdom, in all affairs.
May your strength and your courage be renewed.
For every challenge in life you pursue.
How I wish I were there to ease your cares.
And to mend your hearts, from life's little tears.
Remember this, I will always love you.

Fling Words

You fling words
with the same concern
as skimming stones
offhandedly 
and
unenlightened 
not once
recognizing 
the escalating consequences 
upon the delicate ecosystems 
of the human psyche

Dark Halls

Once these corridors echoed with life a citadel for restoration of body and mind a bastion of promise for the tormented to the outside world it had many names Forest Lawn Sanitarium was its Nome de plume I--- simply called it--- home In its day it was of grand design cathedral ceilings hung with crystal chandeliers finest draperies form fitted to spacious Windows walls brightly painted absorbing sun lights warmth reflected off marble floors yes--- it was exquisite--- so beautiful Soon after my arrival --- I realized that beauty often commits--- the grossest treasons For beneath these hallowed halls there lay a world of darkness a wilderness of living sorrow doctors most vile It was here--- that I came of age. a place where the rooms festered in the putrid scent of decaying dust where the floors where like walking on shattered brittle-- shards of glass the broken sills of cemented widndows entomb the fragments of yesterdays tormented souls if only the towers could reverberate the echoing wails which pierce the silence so thick not to chase away no--- but to call the slithering shadows of doom a place where torture became science--- and science a medical break through but to me--- it was still home Where despair screams of stone cold fear of ghastly ghosts imprisoned with clattering chains of morbid madness lurking in secret skeletons where charcoal coffins resurrect in the curtain of lethal skies bloodletting and chilling memories Blasted shrapnel of crimson smeared sins of hollow skeletons buried beneath the godforsaken guillotine where harrowing horrors howl mournful cries and demented demons putrify on crosses Persecuted in the bars of their endless eternal torture Hope you like my home--- cause no one gets out alive
This is a collaboration which was written with the poetess Midnight petals on another poetry site. This piece was written about a year ago...

A Woman Is

An exquisite flower
perfection
awaiting discovery

An aromatic flower
sweet-scented
awaiting appreciation 

A delicate flower
poised
awaiting tenderness

A woman is
a delightful bouquet 
of loving emotions 

Awaiting the right vase

Let Me In

Lying naked by her side
I feel the warmth of love begin
as we, caress each other's skin
taking touch to newer heights
oh my lover, look at me
open up your love for me
let me in
let me in

Touch me gently, and i rise
a throbbing love which cannot lie
races through me, and i sigh 
oh my lover, look at me
open up your love for me
let me in
let me in.

You're my joy, my ecstasy 
everything I want, I need
Oh my lover, look at me
can you sense my silent plea
open up your love for me
let me in
let me in.

With Love I Plead

As soft eyes, reflect a desperate need.
each subtle breath, exhaled in loneliness.
tender hearts can’t endure, such weariness.
the tone of your voice, carries urgency.
from chains of sorrow, a heart must be freed.
though the world seems devoid of earnestness.
this isn’t a world, fill with gloominess.
through this sonnet with love, to you I plead. 

How can I prove, my love for you is real? 
what words of love will stop, the tears you cry? 
what deed, will ease the sadness in your eyes?  
place your hand upon my heart, you will feel.
the rhythm of a love, that longs to heal. 
to remove the burdens, which make you sigh. 
to release your spirit, so you can fly. 
to know your love, my heart with joy, would reel.
