THE UNTURNED STONE
(First adventure into social networking)

I took a different path
the other day
instead of wandering
down the well trod road
that leads to emptiness
in solitude

I turned the other way
and tried an unused trail
that I had always ignored
before

I turned the unturned stone
and it filled me
with joy
within the prison
of my isolation

Words and images
tumbled out of time
and touched me
held my hand
said
you are not alone

~knotty~


Longing...
Longing to taste the shadow hypnotist, his whispers are so cryptic.
Within this circle of fire I seek. Salt bears witness.
Our eyes lock through the flames, flesh burning shameless.
He flashes his wicked smile, tempting hell's desires.
My darkest secret. Sweet, blue angel teaser.
He calls to me without speaking. Promises timeless beauty, forever.

Beseeching...
Beseeching his tongue in groove. Never die, never deny.
Crimson sand slides silently through the hand's of time.
Walk with me into the night. Down behind the old,
twisted willow lies a knotty birch. Selecting my pain,heart bursting untamed.

Fire...
Fire lashes,my flesh is alive again. Crushing fiend.
Faded, blue moon above. Burning stars slash through the night.
Be my angel, sacrifice. Grey feathers of wisdom unsheathed.
One word power carrier. Intense in deliverance. Alone, so alone.
Tonight's fight tells the tale. My lover of disguised persona.
Beneath the mask lies the face of horror.

Captivate...
Captivate to initiate. From the dream there's no escape.
Tell me, you are mine. Recite it ten times.
I comply, forever, his blushing bride.
Show your wings, don't deny.
Fallen...
Fallen from the night sky, in his arms I hope to die

The Rest

We are our worlds
Wrapped in skin and cellophane
Decorated cakes rising and falling,
Smoking candy cigarettes
In the crematorium.
 
But the words we choose
Are like surgical instruments
Picking, placing and replacing
Images and memories.
 
We hide because we see and misunderstand.
 
You are only who you are to me.
I am only what you’ve seen.
Not even shared memories
Are congruent painted concrete.
 
Yet your arm touched mine
And we both remained
No look exchanged
No expected disdain
No uncomfortable refrain
 
Only this
So intimate
 
An authentic moment
To justify
The rest.

Candle for You

One candle lit
To light it’s chamber
Love has never looked better.
Draped in darkness
But not overtaken,
Fighting to call this place home,
Fighting to stay alive,
But fighting alone.
An exhausted candle,
Having given it’s all,
Melts away…
And dies.

      As I have loved you.

Night Frights
Fights
Kizer
Money Miser
there fault
make me wiser

Your mind is blind
You cannot see the troubles of the world
for they do not exist in your head
You cannot feel the pain of others
for they are not you
You cannot love others
for you are your only love
You cannot invision greatness
for you do not make
    Your self great

A Rose, A Cactus and A Desert...

Who knows how it happened
No one can really tell
A cactus and a rose met
In the middle of a desert.

The cactus was so curious
Upon seeing the other creature
Can't help but admire those
Prickly stems and beautiful petals of the rose.

Very beautiful, says the cactus
With those lovely scents of yours
The sand and the heat of the sun
To you, shall take their toll.

Look at me, my name is cactus
With my fleshy stems and spines
I'm so ugly, I'm so dull,
My thorns, no one has dared touch.

This desert is so harsh
I call it a wasteland
It gives me nothing but sands
And sunlight that really burns.

How I wish to be like you
Attractive and so cool
Sensitive yet unmindful
Sweet, but oh, so dangerous.

Such words are flattering
The rose would often hear
From both young and old lovers
No distinction, whatsoever.

Am I everything you've just uttered
Lovely words coming from the heart
Worry not, for I swear
You're as lovely as I am.

All you need is to realize
the good things that you have
Put all the blessings in good use
And let thy will be done.

Do not believe in everything you see
There is more than meets the eye
Good looks aren't good enough
Behind are secrets, and a darker fear.

Nice to meet you, says she
Who's as lovely as can be
Cheer up and trust me,
Once a cactus, now I'm free.

Mine

You are mine
My only possession
The light to my shadow
The wonder to my horror
The heroic to my tragic

You are mine
My only obsession
The gift to my claws
The friend to my enemy
The greatness to my blackness

You are
Unfathomable
Reachable
Treasured

I wonder why you do it,
I wonder why you stay
Every second brighter than the last,
I want this reality only if you remain

And so I wonder at you,
And everything you are
Everything you do
And how you dare to wonder at me too

Not your puppet

Awe man Awe manya boys bay again

they never see the good in me
But i am not a puppet
so there will be no controlling me
