Neglected
Observations have become second nature
It wears on my conscience to consume it
Soft rain falling inside this spiritual theater
Why is it you doubt these words I commit?
Promises are best kept with everlasting love
The raven has become smitten with the dove
Balance is found on a road where wisdom lies
Before this spiderweb snares unknowing flies
Sacrifices are required to dine at their table
Wealth is only a formality in being accepted
Unlocking darkness inside this twisted fable
Is to be content while often being neglected ...

A Merry Metal Xmas
Merry Christmas, to all the poets/poetesses here at DU. This year was only the beginning, folks. Seems arriving here has put some wind in the sails of my creative journey. That was my Christmas gift, I received from my fellow writers here at DU. You all helped me rise again like a glorious phoenix. Or some other town in Arizona. lol. What movie did I quote that line from? Anybody? I know who'll take a stab at it, and will probably get it right.

Different Spin
Too many faces are only memories now
Not so clear anymore on all the stories
It seems time closed the door somehow
Running off the fumes of passing glories
Innocent witness being lead to slaughter
Blood laced misery saturates murky water
Silence eats slowly on words never said
Guilt suffocates happiness into despair
It’s been a life sentence inside this head
Unable to blink while sinister eyes stare
Defeated demons will often return again
Same blueprint hidden in a different spin

Blow Out The Candles
As birthdays go
This is one is not so bad
A smile on my face
My health
My family
New friends
New ventures etc...
There are thoughts hidden
behind the smile
Like it's cold outside
are people warm?
Do they have food?
There is a fire raging.
How are they?
There are wars all over
outside and internally
Will we make it as a people?
Blowing out these candles
I smile and feel the tracks of tears
of both joy and grief
I made a wish
Now, if this one comes true
we will all...

Training Mission South Pole
Stationed off the grid
Population under 50
CIA comrades
Hookers wearing a wire
Granola with Wild Turkey 101
Booting Heroin speedballs
A life we chose
Exile from normal
No filter
Penguin Bar after dark
No cover
Juke box takes coins only
Black night
No stars
The color of salvation
BBQ with the enemy tonight
Tomorrow is cancelled

I wouldn't say Suicidal but January Challenges One ...
The gloom
Early sunset
Cold earth
Waiting
Just waiting
For what you ask
You know
For a reason to believe
For one warmer day to tease us
For anything
A laugh
A smile
An embrace....

Cold
There are barren worlds where no joy dares to exist.
A mental planet with a void for sun, the light is listless.
Eternal winter snowed upon the corroded cartilage
in my bones.
A carcass of happiness lies shivering on broken stones.
Blood.
Runs.
Ice.
Cold.
To say I'm dead would be so bold.
Pink fire grazes the horizon behind the evergreens.
Somehow a fuschia twilight is magically seen.
This electric mauve light vanishes into the belly of the night.
Blood.

I Spent the Day Thinking About You
The universe
In all her infinite wisdom
Reminds me not to stray
A beaten path has it’s purpose
I’m of a different cloth
Stitched together by my own hand
A patchwork of pain
Love, longing, togetherness
Your magnetic pull almost capsized me
And to think I spent the day thinking about you
I dared to imagine waking up next to you
I swore I heard the man in the moon laugh
I walk the earth alone
My feet battle worn and scarred
Their resting place will be the darkness that follows
After the...

Kissers
There are slow kisser
There are fast kissers
There are hard kissers
There are soft kissers
There are the oh hell I got to kisser
Then there ae the hell yea I’ma kisser
There are the giggle kisser
There are the nervous kisser
There are the peak a bo kisser
Then there is the neck kisser
There is the down below kisser (Fav)
There is the accidental head butt, teeth tap, kisser
Let's not forget the dry kisser
Or wet kisser
Whatever you are, you are the perfect kisser for somebody, Mwah
There are fast kissers
There are hard kissers
There are soft kissers

Reveals The Direction
Another hour passes in a distorted flash
Ambitious details scattered across time
Fantasy meets reality such a fatal crash
It’s only a secret if nobody drops a dime
Promises get lost amidst this chaotic ride
Every scenario imaginable unlocks a hurdle
Caught in a moment filled with foolish pride
Regret comes back around again full-circle
Masks fade with years sounds so clever
But this bitter memory stains all meaning
Standing in a bullseye reaching for a lever
Reveals the direction one’s faith is leaning

White Butterflies
The snow was like miniature white butterflies
in a beautifully choreographed flutter.
Always vanishing too soon.
So we wish upon a cluster of winter stars,
that permeate the mental bars.
Beneath the glow of the ambiguous moon.
The despair of not knowing if another cherished
day will exist.
The very dark between stars is what despair
cannot resist.
The snow falls in a stark silent rapture
of every fallen dream the heart still yearns to capture.
The moon is the wolf's trusted guiding light.
While the rabbit's eyes were...
in a beautifully choreographed flutter.
Always vanishing too soon.
So we wish upon a cluster of winter stars,
that permeate the mental bars.
Beneath the glow of the ambiguous moon.
The despair of not knowing if another cherished
day will exist.
The very dark between stars is what despair
cannot resist.
The snow falls in a stark silent rapture
of every fallen dream the heart still yearns to capture.
The moon is the wolf's trusted guiding light.
While the rabbit's eyes were...

Insatiable Desire
Broken place.
Invaded space.
By insatiable desire.
Could it be we are scouring
the wrong world?
The wrong dimension?
For the things that never get a mention.
A hundred tiny moments decoded.
Where some passion had eroded.
A place outside of the body's walls.
But still inside of ticking time enthralls.
Desire, all we have when we don't have ourselves.
Kaleidoscoping odysseys to be taken.
What we need are already seeds of joy in the heart.
Plump buds of gratitude.
Small acts of magnitude.
Invaded space.
By insatiable desire.
Could it be we are scouring
the wrong world?
The wrong dimension?
For the things that never get a mention.
A hundred tiny moments decoded.
Where some passion had eroded.
A place outside of the body's walls.
But still inside of ticking time enthralls.
Desire, all we have when we don't have ourselves.
Kaleidoscoping odysseys to be taken.
What we need are already seeds of joy in the heart.
Plump buds of gratitude.
Small acts of magnitude.
