Poet Introduction
~Falling leaves~ Passing from this state of being. Bury me under a mighty oak tree. Tell the ones that loved me most. To stand below and close their eyes. I will shower them with falling leaves. Like kisses from the sky.

~Old Souls~
When old Souls are returned to soon. Cut down before wisdom's bloom.
Blossoms gathered along the way complete life's unique bouquet.
By sharing flowers made into verse you may find you may heal first.
Helping others find their way. Please do not go away.~Duke Deltree~

~At the hand of the Utopian Humanoids~
So I wondered where would the best place to be in the world when the final end time is brought about by the hand of Utopian Elitist Humanoids that have fed upon the people since the count of time began.
I started to look over a map of the planet and after a moment I thought the world is damn near used up when I remembered South America and thought about Columbia and Venezuela region.
Then examining a map I noticed Eden on earth all under strict control of the region and the indigenous peoples in thousands of square miles of Government land reserves with restricted access. ...

~Silent Hell~
In the darkness of the bureau draw, soon I thought I would be no more.
Sobbing in the hot thin air... I just had to be free from there.
I could hear their running feet as they went laughing to play in
the street. I was in the bureau draw, crying a pitiful plea but
there's no one to hear me shout... Please! Please! I have to get
out... Time passed and air without I could no longer shout...
Sleep is what came to me till the draw opened and I was free.
They would stand there telling me. It would be worse if I tell, living in a...

~my spirit struggles~
My spirit floats endlessly on the waters of sorrow
as deep as despair as wide as hopelessness can be,
to crash on the shore of indifference and darkness
that encompasses all. Tossed upon the rushing tides
of intimidation and regret my spirit struggles. ~Duke Deltree~

~Twisted love lesson~
The strap went high in the air followed by a curse and swear.
All I could do flinch and stare through tears of pain...
Tears ran down my face and in my mouth a salt less taste.
After wrath was through laid on the floor deathly still
with the words I could just kill you going out the door. ~Duke Deltree~

~Does death exist?~
Does death exist? How could it exist within the living God...
Spiritual joy of living is denied by evils crafty lies.
Hoping you believe it's true, a way of controlling you.
When you pass they will say that decay is the only way,
Gods promise is a lie they think that you have died.
Then they seal you tightly in a tomb keeping the song of life
away from you. Becoming like them becoming decay,
see you around Judgment Day. Lend an ear when I say you will
live and not decay. In a shroud you should be ready to set you ...

Not mad at them now
I can't say when it all started am I'm not sure when it ended. I feel that these Beings are mean, impolite and out-right rude! I have a memory, a feeling of remembrance. A story opens. I find myself in a room of light sitting on a bench with drifting awareness waiting, how long I can't tell.
Suddenly there was an impact becoming aware now hearing, not hearing. Like an impression clicking, snapping and popping around my head best description. At that time I realized there were three Beings in front of me. One of the Beings had thrown my clothes at me telling me to get dressed. I had...

Wandering heart deeply needing another heart that could not leave me bleeding.
My heart deeply bleeding in search of a soul to love,
a heart of strength love and caring. ~Duke Deltree~

~Stop~
Stop... trepidation fills the vessel of my heart
rising to my throat, choking off the breath of life.
What was a blessing becomes a curse.
Winds of time swirl at my feet
whispering the promise of completeness. ~Duke Deltree~

Perceived Self
People always think when they see me that they know who I am.
It is always different then who I think I am.
No matter how I work to change myself as I grow as a person in my view of self.
As I look back through a shadowy veil between self image and perceived reality.
Only to have my self-image dashed upon finding that how I perceived self was not how I was perceived.
I wonder if they who see project parts of their own self image upon the veil and react.
I believed I was a...

~I have become~
I have become sorrow. I have become tragedy.
I have become hopelessness.
I have become helpless before the specter of humanity wavering,
A flickering light. A wind precedes the oncoming night,
laden with spirits of abandonment.
With the darkness comes children of light
now despairing, hungering, desperately grasping for salvation
that will never be.
I have become sorrow, I have become tragedy.
I have become hopelessness. ~Duke Deltree~

~Night Fear~
I hate the death like embrace of sleep and fear the coming night.
It's slash of death being cast into darkness then resurrection.
Only to be re consumed and spat out into seemingly endlessly moments of the struggle to self awareness.
Regrets, sadness and shame of a time less lived.
Only to be dragged back down into oblivion. ~Duke Deltree~
