Life Into Prayer

...with cello strings in nature's woods  
in the silence of an unspoken tree  
to the edge of forever, I see  
drinking deep the inevitable  
the aroma of coffee and only me    
patience in living in nature free  
incorporating life into prayer and myths  
listening to windchimes yet unfed  
cleaning my soul with cedar and sage  
of nature's embryos and tall pines    
in the silence of an unspoken tree...

exhale

 
I count my breaths
and all the exhales without you
each breath gives me another chance to be near you
my soul breathes in deep with hope

I ache in the emptiness
there is a place reserved for you
a place where we come together
then go our separate ways
commingling on the aether
I need you like oxygen

one exhale
.
.
.
two exhale
.
.
.
three exhale
.
.
.
until my heart fails---------------
.
.
.

I will desire you

A dream

I once saw A man selling his dream for one dollar. I bought it. The next day the man died.

Beautiful

Lying in bed 
At the end of the day
Entwined in each other's arms 
A connection so powerful
it washes the world away
Traumas forgotten
Years melt from your face
Your mask of pain fades
Peace resides in its place 
Happiness
Love
Contentment 
Radiates from your soul
Allowed a rare glimpse
The beauty of you 
Seldom do I behold
Never forgotten 
Purity and peace 
Authentic
Forever etched in my soul 
an exquisite image of you

Deep Underground Poetry

Deep Underground, my haven of verse,
A place where my poetic soul can immerse.
Where words flow freely and emotions ignite,
And fellow poets share their inner light.

With every line, I feel more alive,
A community of poets who help me thrive.
A space where creativity knows no end,
And we can all be ourselves, our truest friend.

Deep Underground, I sing your praise,
For being a platform that never betrays.
A place where I can express and create,
And find inspiration, no matter my state.

Thank you, DU, for being my muse,
For letting my thoughts and feelings diffuse.
I'll keep on writing, with passion and might,
And share my poems with all my might.

Exitus

A letter to my dearest    
Tears combined with ink      
Memories which i cheer in      
Nightmares in which i sink      
      
An endless fall to bottom      
Beyond the tears and soil      
Passing sights of sodom      
Sanity creaks in need of oil      
     
The time for healing passed
Awoken in a dream      
I found myself at last      
Without a voice i scream      
     
This poison seems to heal me      
My death will give me life      
No god succeeds to kneel me      
No demon cares to thrive      
     
Closure is upon me      
Success is what i bleed      
Opened with illicit keys      
Farewell for i am freed

Lost in Nature's Sweet Harmony


Oh, fair nature! How thy beauty doth astound,
Thy verdant hills and valleys, all around,
The babbling brooks that trickle through the trees,
And rustling leaves that dance upon the breeze.

Thy sun-kissed meadows, with their fragrant blooms,
And fields of golden wheat, where wild bees hum,
The distant mountains, crowned with snowy peaks,
And crystal lakes, so still, so calm, so meek.

Oh, how my soul doth yearn to be with thee,
To wander 'mongst thy glades and verdant lea,
To feel the sun upon my face so warm,
And listen to the music of thy charm.

For in thy bosom, I find sweet release,
From all the cares and troubles that increase,
And in thy gentle embrace, I find rest,
And in thy beauty, I am truly blessed.

Oh, fair nature! How I long to be,
Forever lost in thy sweet harmony,
To live and die in thy eternal embrace,
And find my peace in thy serene grace.

Surrealist Dreamscapes

 
I open my mouth but the words won’t come out
They feel like supernovas far away in the distance
Thus I restrain my cords while my wild heart shouts
Screaming at the top of my soul about this existence
 
All I want to do is tear at the fabric of time and space
It consumes me with overwhelming passion and force
Breaking me to the point of nothingness in disgrace
Leaving it to chance and waiting for fate to take its course
 
Maybe this thing will be the end of me, a frenemy
It haunts endlessly lurking nearby wanting to escape
But it revels in the dark like some agonizing ecstasy
Threatening me with freedom of surrealist dreamscapes
 
These lips won’t speak the want that the spirit seeks  
But it slips through in verses implicit and scattered
Like beautiful lies that go unspoken but yet they leak
While a heart dies as it goes from broken to shattered
