Goodbye Winter
Behold the first chirpings of morn.
The lull of innocence is born.
The ancient familiar melody proclaims
the end of winters thaw.
No longer just a procession
of a lonely crow's caw.
Daffodils and tulips shake my heart with mirth.
Recalling the springs of my life,
the riot of rebirth.
The cadence of sweet warbling,
awakens my inner child.
Untainted, carefree and wild.
Plucking dandelion bouquets,
amongst the peeps & chittering,
of a sun stained spring day.
The lull of innocence is born.
The ancient familiar melody proclaims
the end of winters thaw.
No longer just a procession
of a lonely crow's caw.
Daffodils and tulips shake my heart with mirth.
Recalling the springs of my life,
the riot of rebirth.
The cadence of sweet warbling,
awakens my inner child.
Untainted, carefree and wild.
Plucking dandelion bouquets,
amongst the peeps & chittering,
of a sun stained spring day.

Surrender- with the talented Crimsin
Destroyed, She clutched her mangled heart,
unaware the darkness was listening.
Oh humble day, cast not your eyes upon this darkling
true.
Who now saunters admist the shadows.
In the tempest of it all, her pain is lovely.
A starless night vibrates with sinister stirrings,
abysmal echoing, talk of a great love stolen.
Beholden to her deepest heart's desires.
Fate proved cruel and took away her love forever.
Drenched in tears, she lay crippled,
in a maze of eternal why's.
Lost to the world she keens, she thought...
unaware the darkness was listening.
Oh humble day, cast not your eyes upon this darkling
true.
Who now saunters admist the shadows.
In the tempest of it all, her pain is lovely.
A starless night vibrates with sinister stirrings,
abysmal echoing, talk of a great love stolen.
Beholden to her deepest heart's desires.
Fate proved cruel and took away her love forever.
Drenched in tears, she lay crippled,
in a maze of eternal why's.
Lost to the world she keens, she thought...

Gray
The day was an array of gray.
I walk forth confronted by
smokey gray clouds.
Must be the exhaust from burnout dreams.
And the vast ivory gray clouds,
paints the empty blankness I feel.
The leaden gray clouds are the steel color
of my robotic bones.
But behold, voluptuous violet gray
swath the horizon.
Blissfully violating my veins with beauty.
Even in times of deepest gray,
the beauty in life will not lead you astray.
I walk forth confronted by

And the vast ivory gray clouds,

swath the horizon.
Blissfully violating my veins with beauty.
Even in times of deepest gray,

Blossom
Behold the budding dawn.
I'm no longer reticent.
In the voiceless
womb of a new day.
My veins throb
in sweet proclamation
of you.
My inner blue melancholy
vanishing.
Your blossom
perfumes the aurora.
Upon the fleeting darkness
I lay cradled
in an abysmal ecstasy
of dewed fantasies of you.
I'm no longer reticent.
In the voiceless
womb of a new day.
My veins throb
in sweet proclamation
of you.
My inner blue melancholy
vanishing.
Your blossom
perfumes the aurora.
Upon the fleeting darkness
I lay cradled
in an abysmal ecstasy
of dewed fantasies of you.

Old Soul
The winter hazel sunsets,
Softly burn my mind's gazing.
I launch backwards to our first encounter.
Your face,
was the answer to everything
unknown in me.
An old soul.
Awakening a hypnotic ache
In all my heart's breaks.
My scars shimmer with
shiny hot memories of you.
My depth belongs to yours.
Softly burn my mind's gazing.
I launch backwards to our first encounter.
Your face,
was the answer to everything
unknown in me.
An old soul.
Awakening a hypnotic ache
In all my heart's breaks.
My scars shimmer with
shiny hot memories of you.
My depth belongs to yours.

Ancient Want
Obsessed with all we want.
We will take it
in any shape or form we can get it.
Neglecting to realize,
what we want may not always reciprocate.
Thus we continue to want, ache, yearn, lust
All the days long.
The heart is an ancient organ with
melodies of century old memories.
Foggy lives led that leave
their dark magical resonance,
in us deep and wide.
Something, some feeling,
just at the tip of your brain,
seducing you insane.
A quest begins to find the ancient pasts
that collided with...
We will take it
in any shape or form we can get it.
Neglecting to realize,
what we want may not always reciprocate.
Thus we continue to want, ache, yearn, lust
All the days long.

Foggy lives led that leave

The Poet
The silhouette of her soul glistened
in the falling twilight.
Her eyes were haunted by yearn.
Her heart beating brimming with woven words.
Concealing her secrets in velvet prose.
She lay in a field of midnight sky.
Stars of thoughts a sweet scattering
throughout her mind.
She tears through her fibers of ecstasy
to extract the underlying debris of pain.
A chrysalis of dark euphoria
Starkly alive on the page.
in the falling twilight.
Her eyes were haunted by yearn.
Her heart beating brimming with woven words.
Concealing her secrets in velvet prose.
She lay in a field of midnight sky.
Stars of thoughts a sweet scattering
throughout her mind.
She tears through her fibers of ecstasy
to extract the underlying debris of pain.
A chrysalis of dark euphoria
Starkly alive on the page.

FICTIONAL PROSE

The Sentence
Some believe the suffering for a particularly heinous crime should be sentenced to include the cessation of that person's greatest passion in life. In making that passion cease to exist - you are sentencing the person to real living madness, the deliverance of a deserving punishment. Although who is to really judge what qualifies as heinous, not knowing the intricacies of a whole lifetime that may have led up to that moment.
A poet was sentenced to life imprisonment in a gray cell with a small lone window, low enough for a single view. Trapped inside of a gray cell, any puny view...

A Heart of Death, A Heart of Birth
Slow my aching heart.
Halt the daggers pain.
Whispers dance upon my walls.
While silence screams your name.
And when the breeze begins to blow,
it unchills the arrow on the bow.
There is a new throb in my heart.
It pulsates and begins to grow.
This chaos of passion spreads so fast.
Cancelling old memories booked in the past.
And sketched across the darkest night.
An old flame burns out, while a new one ignites.
Halt the daggers pain.
Whispers dance upon my walls.
While silence screams your name.
And when the breeze begins to blow,
it unchills the arrow on the bow.
There is a new throb in my heart.
It pulsates and begins to grow.
This chaos of passion spreads so fast.
Cancelling old memories booked in the past.
And sketched across the darkest night.
An old flame burns out, while a new one ignites.

Never More
When the object of a sweet obsession is gone,
existing never more.
The onset of feeling emotionally deceived begins.
A heart believes what it wants to believe,
despite life's neon flashing signs.
A heart wants to believe it was truly wanted, deeply wanted, that it was truly love.
Because heartache is a deep abyss of pain,
the brain would rather not feel on its rational terrain.
Even the sound of your name, hurts like a sledge hammer slicing through the central core of my soul.
Every lingering thought of you just deeper carves the hole.

Deep
You penetrate my existence.
Sweetly barging into
my empty places.
Waltzing into my mind.
For a thousand eternities,
I would lead you into my deep.
But you already know the way....
Sweetly barging into
my empty places.
Waltzing into my mind.
For a thousand eternities,

Hope's Road
The morning sky
was a precarious
robins egg blue.
With fluffy islands
of smudge gray clouds.
Should hope be had
or impending doom?
My fragile heart vacillates
between sparkles of light
and a starless black hole night.
I could be traversing hope's road
and the ground gives way
swallowing me whole.
Or my body curled in doom
feels light from the sun streaming
through a pin hole in the bolted door.
I sleuth my soul for the anecdote,
internal peace.
A rare commodity in difficult times. ...
