His Desire
He wanted me
he wanted the painted disguise
he thought he could see
not reality
he wanted honesty
but not truth
he wanted me
girl of his fantasy

Tormented unable to sleep
for you I cannot keep
thoughts of times
wish I could rewind
memories so real
I can feel
your touch
I miss so much
your voice plays in my head
bringing back all you said
now I know as lies
how time flies
still I linger here
tormented unable to sleep
for you I cannot keep | |

Posted: 3/2/2006 10:19:20 PM | Darkness Settles In
Darkness settles in
the wound begins to bleed
all seems uphill
wait til dawn
paint a smile on
stop the bleed
not the need
about face
mind does not erase
hidden notions
overwhelmed with emotion
Darkness settles in
the wound begins to bleed | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 8:49:21 PM | Darkness's Demise
Tears bring puddles to the floor
I will wipe no more
The day is done
night has come
The emptiness begins
I will try to defend
The loneliness takes hold
I will struggle to be bold
Darkness sets it's demise
I longingly look for sunrise | |

Sacrifice in Darkness
09 March 2006
Death to a broken heart
love to a soul that died
Where was living
to be unnoticed in dark
Struck between immortal
what morale brings peace
As if confidence was not the seed
black to colour not bright
Dismal to surrounding
was this the knight to depart
For she would never surrender
who said prayer was to answer
Sacrifice or sacrilege
a farewell from long off
There was no tomorrow
because then it was day
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God
divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day,
and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning
were the first day. And to rule over the day and over the night, and
to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.”
Genesis 1: 2, 4-5, 18 KJV

Night came without call
I thought I would fall
I had given my all
to you

Night came without call
truth revealed afterall
I did not fall
only stumbled
kinda cumbled
Night came with out call
I stood alone and tall
never again to fall | |

In the land of sleep
There you keep
Close my eyes
Feel you deep
Lingering kiss
How I miss
Gentle hands of steel
I will always feel
Deep eyes blue
Seep through
In my dreams
Our love still steams
As darkness falls
I hear your calls | |

Intrepid Thought
26 June 2005
Was man one of God’s blunders
or is God one of man’s to see
As if truth to interpretation was
for eyes focused in existence to thee
For if God was in fact an
invention made of mistake
What was this spirit from within
being so painful to heart break
Like wheels on an automobile
rotating in direction of drive
Man was either born to be dead
or of a probation to live and survive
Was God one of man’s blunders
where woman was taken out of man
Then biblical in item of concern
could have been the
foundation of God in plan
"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should
be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And the LORD
God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and
he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said,
This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall
be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
Genesis 2: 18, 21-23 KJV

Posted: 3/11/2006 8:28:55 PM | Hi I am fairly new to this site. I'd like to share one of my "darker side" poems so here goes;
A little light to write by
Is all I need right now
A little light to cry by
Before I say good bye...
He held me once
Not long ago
But has forgotten me
I am alone...
Peace right now
Is all I need
To forget about
His memory...
I've given in
I've given up
There Is no such thing
As true love...
So a little light to write by
Is all I need right now
A little light to die by
But not before I say good bye.... | |

Metaphoric Blood
12 September 2005
When veins are cut
and blood does run
Away in a darkness
thoughts to be not liked by some
While in metaphor
a life line severed to suit
That commitment of a
failure to reboot
Not to death
yet to live
Not with her
he unable to give
Wrists not slit
neither to sadness become
This element before a
reunion to savor her in one

Posted: 3/12/2006 9:53:13 AM | Poet ...Good to see you again...Excellent write
Now just a touch of Dark Humor here:
Actions
I want to show you
But I fear your reaction
So my words stay in traction
Don’t want to appear
Like fatal attraction
Have a Great Day Everyone! | |

Other Side of the Track
13 August 2005
Black is black
white is blue
Then the truth is a lie
if those only knew
Misunderstood
if not by communicate
Brought to ground in terror made
void of manner toward partisan of take
Where rhyme nor reason collide
to puncture a beating heart
Withdrawn as to deposit bank
torn and ripped in supplication part
Limb from limb
bloodied to transpire
Down but not lowered to realm
just instead raised higher and higher
“One who walks in another's tracks leaves no footprints.”
Proverb

Ceaton Hall (take two)
--------------------
Jesus H christ
I remember you!
Those slow white days
In Ceaton Hall
Rightious eyes lurking
Rock hunters
Spoon benders,
Banging bones on the third floor
And his buddy had his arm ripped off
Hanging from the car door
And I believed Hendrix eyes
Splattered to the walls
She said he floated on up
Past her window
And down my throat
Oh yes, I remember you!
Armed-in
Candy coated love
Thanks for the memory
You shit. | |

Memory Awakened
Shadows on my wall
As night begins to fall
Memory awakened
Hold it there
Then it's taken
To dreams of yesterday
Where we use to play
Before you went away
Shadows on my wall
As night begins to fall
Memories awakened
Hold them there
Never to be forsaken | |

Tonight I think of you
I long for you
I miss the things we use to do
Tonight I miss your touch
Your deep kisses so much
Your Love that never rushed
Tonight I really miss you | |

Posted: 3/16/2006 11:19:25 AM | You left me standing there
time and time again
said it built character
good thing we are still friends
timing is everything so they say
but I know from experience
it only brings on pain
what I feel can it be explained
for some strange reason
we both hold on
dancin to the same drummer
but different songs
is this acceptable
is this why we fear
will it be inevitable
when we are near
someone here must be stronger
show the other the way
can you honestly show me
how we won't go astray
time is tick tick ticking away
taking it's toll leaving us betrayed
if you only had five minutes with me
right now what would you say... | |

Posted: 3/17/2006 1:20:58 AM | I've been falsely accused
for the same ol crime
way too many times
it just could be the cherokee
in me that helps to hide the rage
though I'm as white as white can be
the red man yeah the red man
deep inside can be seen in me
so write away the sorrow
so sing away the pain
leave me here stranded
like a dog out in the rain
tie me down with false illusion
tie me down by twisted deeds
I will never surrender to your
words of what I believe
I feel the spirit
I feel the sun the moon and the time to run
so write away the sorrow
so sing away the pain
beat me down by worldly measures
where you don't want me to think
I can feel the tide is turning
the last will become first
you say you can hold out forever
but your worlds ready to die from thirst
I feel the spirit
I feel the sun the moon and the what's come undone... | |

Uncertain and determined

Glass Prisons
14 August 2005
He hides his sorrow
taken from him in prison of glass
Like a plague of consumption
consumed within sparks of unrest
To live each moment of intoxication
captured by a noose encased in embodiment
This nebulous distinction wrapped
between pride and conceit
A man his own enemy of starvation
given thirst to compensate remorse
For who was he to have no control
his life overtaken in drawn image
The devils advocate of essence
surrounded by the stench of purity
Upon horror of realisation to consummate
imposing mastery of the seas flowing in alcohol
"And every man that striveth for the mastery is
temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain
a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible."
1 Corinthians 9: 25 KJV

confusion
limitations
set ways
lonely days
want to grow
need to know
hard when alone
live and die

Posted: 3/22/2006 1:29:19 AM | I could tell right from the start
she didn't know where she was going
how near and how far
too much on her mind
trouble is on the way
she thought she was clever
thought she was running out of time
but I've known from birth
that the eyes never lie
a weapon of mercy
in her hand
ready to strike
but I uncovered her plan
I felt her heart beating
so close to mine
I just saved her life
yet I somehow found mine
the touch of her breast
on my chest as I held her
felt like a gift unexpected
the smell of her breath
the scent of her hair
that feeling follows me everywhere
I lifted her hands up
toward the sky
told her that I cared
please girl choose life
through tears she smiled
and whispered I know
then like a whirlwind
she had to go
If I could go back in time
I would make one change
while I was holding her
I would gently turn the page... | |
