I feel guilty no matter which way I am born Others bear ill will for my silence I do not blame them for I too would feel wronged The love I have for you is to be shared, even in sorrow | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/6/2007 9:09:08 AM | Joshua!
Last train pulled out tonite left me here with my own heart Why should I try to get on? Going nowhere ....for ever long
I shall just stay face the pain In a lifetime made of memories I believe in destiny
Meet me halfway across the sky where the world belongs to only you ...and I I shall always stay
Here within the stars .... love carries us up above Reaches out for the lonely ones when we meet ...there in the skies! A new beginning .... In another life! | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/6/2007 3:34:38 PM | Jesyka! Autumn Fantasy! Another Awakening! Celestial Heart!
These poems are extraordinarily brilliant!
I reread them each several times.
I thank you each for the magic. | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/6/2007 3:37:18 PM | The Stigmata of Me!
Abstract mirrors become of the sky, nothingness, Aside from man’s delusions! Hereupon but Take of me out of this permanent pause.
As for the azure the lingering lies, The tacit unechoed chant was but a shattered call. Even the frankincense has been raped of its essence. Yet let not the ultimate of “Forms” perish lest we forsake confession. Have we not been discolored, inlove with the “Unanchored Guilt?”
The halcyon of the night Fermenting the chaos of plight Tantamount to the loss of sight Whence comest the fangs of poisoned light
And again, we pray atop the hillside Wide-eyed and thankful to beg Weary and famished, sackcloth making rawness of flesh’s Faith, barely pillaring upon broken legs
Take of me out of this permanent pause. Unshowered and unsaved, beating upon the stones of poetry Gripping what’s left of spirit from this tunic As the nuns besprinkle me with the elixir of unmadness Abbess! How was it that we meshed, becoming one?
I’m but a sin The grin of Satan Making vomit of my Being And what good is a priestly pedophile? Thus, I stir in man’s trap Arrant and triple-six stamped Awaiting my next exorcism | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/8/2007 12:27:45 PM | shadow- I'm speechless! You and Joshua are sculpters, truly!
As the early morning sun breaks dawn and yawns I lie in the photography and silent films of my mind Replaying, re-feeling, re- filling myself with the past Projecting still frames of the future as golden rays And soft yellows drowning my body in their eternity Romantic moments pirouette and arabesque Underneath my drowsy eyelids oh so gracefully Tempting me to pull up the covers and drink their beauty Alone Thankgoodness for imagination, shant it be I'd be lonely Alas! thoughts dance and move so freely Causing me to feel the pain of past anxiety and betrayals Pools of blood spread underneath me, on my coarse cotton sheets Only to retreat with the opening of my eyes as the sun blinds me Breathe, they are only memories, start over and rewind To another time when love reigned and fear was lost To warm rooms and sultry kisses of promise and drunkeness And smoldering brilliant orange heat, endless caring and caressing Of soulful sole times, walking in the desert alone and free Just Breathe, swallow the pain and digest it The sun is gaining height and strength My eyelids red transparent lens cannot concentrate The covers lift as with my eyes Blue Iris, pupil dilitate | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/8/2007 1:11:10 PM | I agree with Jesyka...some wonderful writes in here...(including yours)
Sleep.
O bitter sweet sarcophagus I lay thee down deep past sight and mind Where harm is but a thoughtless worm Digging far to gain so much
Parched flesh and once more a lifeless yawn Eternity grasp my feeble bones I lay still, joyous, amongst the crawling dead Take my flesh, and begone delusion of life
Joined by a ravenous hypocrisy Shadows lie, the golden light foresees my doom I dance to the open sky, and give repentance Tasting the final drink of fools
Yet dawn silences my vigal With the sound of a heart not still Why then?, does this thirst persist unheeded For I lay where light, is no longer, needed.

Salacious ponder! There must be more! The Satyr Of me, Borne Torn—sorely Unmourned Falling into the dreary azure.— And what of that, the psyche gored!— Merely the instantaneous Combustion of cores.
Sibilance!— In reach the ankle! And turbulence! Thus cries for the Achilles’ heel mangled— The strangled of soul! The unrestrainable cold! The grip-chokehold of spirit! —and—
Eyes become the tell all— Treading the falseness of concrete Lest reality fall— Lest man lose sanity in The main complete— Lest the countenance grow raw— I sleep! | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/12/2007 4:25:19 AM | What is family for? If truth is hidden? Why should I write in abstract? To protect pain…truth
Though no amount of words Will describe YOUR pain I desire to mourn with you That is purity of love and tell the world why…
Never without your word The screams beyond the grave Wonder why you are not brave knowing Love and disaster are to be shared
Allow me to show you Who your friends are… The one’s who make you grin in this life Taking your wishes beyond mirth
Now I think, I believe I hear laughter? | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/17/2007 5:59:36 AM | Private Awakened Thoughts.
Therein are subtle signs of breakage the ache of mental bone the unheard before tone the walk of a vacant acreage
Tell of time, “you deceiver.” And new proselytes find refuge while we ignore thoughts abused hearts battered and unsoothed associated with diehard believers
There’s a demon eye A subtle yet distinct chide An impending tide The first to say goodbye The last to ask why
And we daresay in uneasiness the untouchable word of broken strings and plaguing angelical chords
And
so many quasi mystics linger forcedly in discreet shadows rhapsodic in private ecstatic wit spirit, for the worship of God is risqué | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/17/2007 6:28:50 AM | Doves, hover over that invisible me. Tired and weary I now see. Thus, infectious seeds are uprooted, Pleasant thoughts are recruited, and The morning star radiates the countenance. They cringe at the sight; despising every tinge of light. How doth man smile upon darkness? And how heartless I’ve climbed! Now, upon this Mt. Sinai, I ask you father: “Why?” | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/17/2007 7:08:23 AM | Je me souviens
The deep crusted bark of the maple tree The sweet sticky sugar found underneath Pouring thin and translucent out of the tap Filling up the pail with heavenly sap
The leaves have begun to change A kaleidiscope colour range From greens to red, from orange to yellow Soon we will be blessed with snow
Boil, stir ,drip it down on clean snow Line it in strips with popsickle sticks row by row Boil it up, let it thicken and add some cream Put your nose over top to catch that heavenly steam
Pour it into shapes and let it cool in the shack Later, we'll have sugar square delights filling the racks Je me souviens des choses quebecoises C'est notre culture joies et angoises
I remember, one day to my grandchildren, I shall tell The day when our customs gradually changed and fell We used to thrive on the sugar shack in the days that we had snow I remember it well, it wasn't that long ago. | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/17/2007 8:01:15 AM | Ever and anon I ponder upon the hidden Hagridden Sullen Blank into the night
I feel the vibration. I wish to alleviate the ache. But this dream An incompatible figment Rushing into the ocean.
And you grimace why? How not you, Candescence? The quintessence of fantasy My never to touch An thus I panic.
Do we hold dolor In the palms of a prayer?— Spirit set afire Afloat upon the brilliant star Rapidly descending Head first upon the brae
I explode! | |

The pulpit is made of wood Simplicity converted good But, Louise my darling, martyrdom was a lifestyle She just never could, Let go of the obssessions that reek havoc In her soul. Blessed are the women Whom in The are alive Blessed are the men Whom folow You and thrive But, father what will happen To my poor and broke Louise? | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/18/2007 8:30:26 AM | I wander what he gained from me Too sad for the next Nice man Who wonders about me Nice photograph …Comes without warmth
Modern times scream one name Where the hell is BOB? Fuck you stupid I no longer think Through my own hazy waves
The fog lifted the addiction Now I see clearly Preferring BOB than reality In the day I could change the sounds Cyberspace allows anything I wish Mortal souls sing in grief Finally angels are overridden Awaiting the second coming Only belief left in hope to save the souls
…am sorry Jesus. I wasted time believing in passions Thou who describe themselves as “nice” Are the worst kindness I’m proud of the fact I call myself a witch
^^^abstract so much in my own mind...it's the voices screaming | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/20/2007 12:44:48 PM | Touch this life. My mind! With shine untainted. The smile of glisten. Our motion! And churchyards linger in fantasy. Am I now human? May I now yearn freely? The last thought of grain. What a harvest of passion! The ascension of tangibility! My last whisper into the sun! A beneath agony laughing into the earth! A different heart that very thought! Tell of children in peace. Tell of eyes that sparkle. I tell of innocence shattered. Windows of the soul broken. And Cold breezes making gelid the core. Twilightzone’n I upon that first sentence— Unable to touch of that life! | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 10/20/2007 1:08:39 PM | I envision mother Is now but the death Of a smile that Sets aflame the celestials— That triad star in the moon— And father—you need peace. Such an afterglow of the night Taming that of the sky— Let the postmodernist touch gravel. And this gravel I have chewed. Attempting to eschew darkness— Bubble-eyed, drifting into the empty. My taciturn enmity—unspokenly present— The ache of my brain—the becoming of ashes. Such torpor in my auntie’s chest. Things are but the nature of feelings. And this is far from winsome. My tear. My open death. Now you may laugh! | |
