Artistically articulate
distinctively unique
if you read my poetry,
into your heart I'll sneak
I've been wounded by lost love
my heart has sprung a leak
I will put spice in your life
if, at my words you'll peek
If you'll read between my words
you'll know true love I seek
and if you wonder ' what's that smell?'
know it's of Love I reek

Posted: 5/25/2012 8:32:23 AM | Half Life Living
Is a tree that knocks you into low life
better than
a tree that knocks you into no life?
Is a life half-alive worth half-living
when you've lived half your half-life half dead
when you've lost in half-life what half mattered
you half feel your half-life's near dead
When Love in your half-life is shattered
rainbows of half-life turn to grey
and half-life fades total to darkness
half-life's colors all fade away
When the love of your half-life half- loves you
a half-life's half-love's not enough
is loveless half-life worth half-living
a half-life lived loveless is rough
You struggle to live half-life fully
not more a half-life's love can do
half-live out the rest of of my half-life
and half dream half-dreams dreamed of you
- Bill Costello (2012)
Note:
Trees are completely unforgiving when falling on you -
surviving it is rare - but twice?
But the physical injuries are nothing
compared to the broken dreams and relationships it causes
Note 2:
I wrote this -
then I went back and read it -
and said to myself,
' Hey - that's not half-bad!' | |

Posted: 6/11/2012 6:23:48 AM | This Kind of Love
Not that kind of love -
we take when we find
but this kind of love
we give when we're kind
Not that kind of love -
an enslavement bind
but this sweet, kind love
that frees heart and mind
Not that kind of love -
to imprison by possession
but giving of Love
make your life obsession
Not love of that sort -
won't forgive or forget
that love will abort -
killed off by regret
Not that twisted love -
the self-love of 'me'
love outward, not inward
of yourself, be free
Not that stunted love
you stifled to own
but real Love you'll harvest
from Love seeds you've sown

Posted: 6/11/2012 5:17:14 PM | One Day (Love Perfect)
You're one day from your worst day
one day from life to death
one day from your chance to love -
one day from your last breath
You're one day from your chance to give
one day from light to night
one day from your hope to live -
to do what you know right
One day to bloom your Love flower
one day to love your friend
one day before comes your last hour -
when your life comes to end
You're one kiss from your life's last kiss
to love those you hold dear
to say goodbye to those you'll miss
to them to make love clear
You're one day from facing the Lord
so try to do what's right
love with the love that you have left
love perfect in God's sight

Oh, baby girl*
I love your lips
so sweet and slow
we grind our hips
Don't worry, love -
I won't go first
we want as one
to both come burst
My lips and tongue slide up your leg
'higher, harder'
gasping, you beg
My tongue spin swirls
where your legs meet
for both us, dear
love and sex treat
We're way past warm
we're both in heat
you're starving for
my love's hard meat
So deep in you
my love will swell
fills all the space
in your love well
I wish we could
in this way stay
make love like this
'least thrice a day (and night)

Posted: 6/17/2012 2:49:44 PM | Your Insistence (ruined your life)
You insist on staying neurotic
insist on being insane
insist on nursing psychotic
insist on nurturing pain
You insist on your mental illness
insist on ruining your life
insist on torturing loved ones
insist on spreading your strife
You insist on doing things your way
insist on doing things wrong
insist on square pegs in round holes
insistence where it don't belong
You insisted our marriage be over
insisted me out of your life
insisting cost you both your loved ones
insistence that cost me my wife

Posted: 6/18/2012 7:44:50 AM | Love Unceasing
I am Love transparent
heart worn on my sleeve
I am pure Love through and true
more than you dare believe
I won't with tongue lie
with lips, I won't deceive
I will live my life for you
to Love, I hope you'll cleave
I give you my promise
I swear you the truth
only you will have my love
each day will serve as proof
You'll be my one and only
I'll be the same for you
we will live our life as one -
one love faithful and true
I'll give you my Love secret
no one but you I'll tell
best day of my life was when
with you in love I fell
We will not be hostile
we will live in peace
we will grow romance each day*
a love that will not cease

Posted: 6/19/2012 9:08:40 AM | Golfing in Hell
Fare thee well, rich brother -
fare thee, fare thee well
think you will be putting
on golf courses in hell?
You think you'll be having
the time of your life
as you burn to vapor
dead to afterlife
You're hoping you'll somehow
escape from the fire
that you're only punished
to the point of perspire
But from unrepentance
much more God requires
needs shameless, corrupt flesh
to fuel golf course fires (in hell)
- Bill Costello (2012)
It would be very interesting
seeing you make par under those conditions - rich brother
just turned up the volume on ' Never again ' - Nickleback
This is one hard-drivin' rock and roll - check it out - let me know | |

I am proletarian -
poor labor working class
thank your stars and bank accounts
this way you did not pass
I have starved with hungry
I have limped with lame
I've suffered with your brothers
sisters suffered the same
I've seen the joy of mercy
within the depths of Love
there is no controversy -
the way to live is Love
I've seen the twilight gleaming
God's prophecies come true
pull others up to heights of Love
those blessings come to you
Though most of us are strangers
for your lives I still care
I hope you'll feel the way I do -
you'll love all you may dare

Posted: 6/20/2012 4:59:20 PM | Lips
Lips of you
lips that I kiss
lips that I lick
lips that I miss
Lips of laughter
lips that I love
your lips were made
in heaven above
Lips of anger
your lips of spite
lips show your mood
when them you bite
Lips of luscious
your lips spill lies
lips of mischievous
lips of surprise
Lips of submission
lips of pretend
lips that surround
on Love descend
Lips can't resist
lips I desire
lips immolate
set mine on fire
Your lips speak truth
your lips so brave
your lips, like you,
my lips do crave

Posted: 6/21/2012 6:45:19 AM | Love to Live
If I didn't love you,
then I wouldn't care
would not subject myself
to your hate I bear
If you knew me really
you'd know it's not fair
but you view life bleakly -
see lies that aren't there
Your heart you need open -
feel things as they be
please stop vilifying
those who love - like me
By youth, we're blinded
Love crimes we deny
we make young heart errors
make our young loves cry
At none aim your anger
rather learn 'Forgive'
hate won't enhance your life -
you need Love to live
All rage and frustration
from your soul please drive
keep Love in you living
keep your life alive

Posted: 6/22/2012 8:20:50 AM | Poet to Poet (loving hidden you)
I love your words unspoken in you -
love your inner beauty unseen
I love the way you caress my thoughts -
leave room for Love's feelings between
I love your heart you've hidden in you -
protection from those who live mean
I love the way your words are so kind -
away from my worries you wean
I love the way you express yourself -
give much love, but not quite it all
how your life aches so much to be loved
but afraid to heartbreaks you might fall
I'm loving you just the way you are -
all of you that I know is right
I love you deep within your hid soul -
dream love you when I sleep at night
I so true love you in all of your ways -
love you whether you're wrong or right
I love all the love that's poetically you
hid from all - but not from my sight
- Bill Costello (2012)
This is for you (women poets who love)
you give me life | |

Posted: 6/23/2012 6:41:38 AM | Your Love Light
Your love cannot be Love
unless it's all-forgiving
if you live just for you,
then you are not life-giving
If you love just yourself,
beware of love pathetic
mirrors don't reflect true you -
the you you hide cosmetic
My eyes are mirrors for you -
reflect you back to see
the you you know you are
and where your soul should be
Please come from your Love night
from black cave you call life
from fears and miseries you live
to your life lived in light

I'm not here to tell you
of how you should feel
but through Love to show you
with Love you can heal
I've come here to help you -
to spike up your Love zeal
your heart I'll help open
to your soul I'll appeal
I am not an outlaw -
I'll beg for Love, not steal
won't hold your flaws against you
your true love my heart feels
I will not roll over
my Love has square wheels
I shed all fake lovers
fake love from me peels
I am true Love conscious
sweet Love gives - not steals
Love doesn't ever take fake bows
a real Love to faith kneels

Posted: 6/27/2012 4:31:03 PM | Love's Wealth
Have you heard my words -
to you what I've said?
I hope your thought train
to Love is more led
I'm hoping your heart
to Love more appeals
life lived for Love is
the best that life feels
Completely unselfish
take none for yourself
the treasure within you
is God's given wealth
I am Cupid's archer
stalk you with Love's stealth
learned from Love's knowledge
Love's great for your health
Don't hold out or hold back
give all all your love
then all love Love gives you
we all will give Love
Remember Love's giving
and not for yourself
and joy you'll inherit -
the heart of Love's wealth

My darling angel
my sweetheart love

I'll crawl through graves

Hope you begin

Just know it's true
I ache for you
I'm not just some hot wire
All Love so true

Posted: 6/29/2012 10:12:27 AM | Angst's Rage
With angst, you've self-infested
an uncontrolled blind rage
your patience far past tested
turn life to your next page
Don't get yourself arrested
jail pays the lowest wage
get angst, like food, digested
don't end up in hate's cage
Your pride and ego crested
just how foul, you can't gauge
resentful when you're bested -
should start acting your age
Please don't live life contested
advise take from this sage
by mad, don't be molested
avoid angst's center stage
- Bill Costello (2012)
Please, my dear friends -
Put a lid on it -
Stick a cork in it -
Poke a fork into it and make sure it's done -
Kick it to the curb
and stop making a lifestyle out of it -
just bury it deep out of your life -
I swear I care - I'm pulling for you - | |

Way more than human
much more humane
beyond what is mystic
before we learned vain
Further than future
much faster than light
far past comprehension
mighty of all mights
Past all pretension
brightest of all brights
beyond all dimension
the highest of heights
Farther than furthest
much surer than sure
dynamic intention
far purer than pure
Deeper than deepest
grandeur of Love thought
all love in my power
for you, Love, I'll wrought

Please tell me - what is it
that you've come to learn?
How many Love fires
does your heart and soul burn?
Just how many scorchings
did it take you to learn?
Love's not owned or possessed -
give Love to Love earn
I hope from your ashes
towards my flame you'll turn
your heart I'll be filling
make you my concern
Fake love's a hard master
gives no Love return
your soul I'll be thrilling
all Love for you yearn

Posted: 7/3/2012 7:52:30 AM | Empire Waning ( state of the nation)
A nation of killers
a nation of liars
an empire that murders
of human flesh fryers
A nation that tortures -
others and their own
kill innocent victims
with without trial drones
Nation of assassins
murder justified
a people of ignorance
their leaders have lied
A nation of conflict
an empire of hate
won't see things as they are -
they learn truth too late
A nation of horrors
an empire of strife
dare to expose them
they will take your life
A nation of God-less
headed straight to hell
empire suicidal
from goodness far fell
A nation reviled
a nation elite
an empire inflicting
on itself defeat
A nation of evil
rotted to it's core
empire of extinction -
will soon be no more

So -
tell me about your guy
You know -
the one who can't live without you -
the one who holds his breath
until
he can be alive again
in your presence
You know -
the one who worships
the ground you walk on -
the one trying to embrace
that sacred place
where your shadow once lay
The one who's mind glows
with the vision of your face
ever sweetly before him
haunted so willingly
by you
That guy -
he does he know
how much he loves you,
doesn't he?
Maybe you should ask him -
or tell him -
it's up to you
I think
we should tell him
about us
together

your peak

Your Love
I'll seek

Of Love,
be unique
be strong
not weak
My Love
don't tweak
