What do you see?
Glancing, looking stare.
Known before knowing?
Depends fostered care.
Uniquely its own.
Uniquely like me.
Discover another.

Lien On Me
My blood shed is yours to drink.
Your thoughts are mine as well to think.
I crave the pain it’s how I feel.
Gaze down upon me as I kneel.
Forbidden love we take and give.
This is how our kind must live.
Bound in chains of need and trust.
Free to know the depths of lust.
My sister’s sounds I long to hear.
And taste once more the sweat and tear.
Begs disguised in do and say.
Commands each other to obey.
Submissively I play my part.
That she may dominate my heart.

Midnight's Muse
Bathe in the light of a lesser sun
dance soft in a star filled cloak.
From dusk to dawn the lone sentinels done
our sleeps dreams in her awoke.
Luna marks the passing time
though never shall she age.
Where clouds she'll hide till hard to find
are drawn curtains before the stage.
Far away yet so near
achieved and touched thy face.
Yet in tales of you we still fear
oh, how you have shaped this race.
dance soft in a star filled cloak.
From dusk to dawn the lone sentinels done
our sleeps dreams in her awoke.
Luna marks the passing time
though never shall she age.
Where clouds she'll hide till hard to find
are drawn curtains before the stage.
Far away yet so near
achieved and touched thy face.
Yet in tales of you we still fear
oh, how you have shaped this race.

Seven Wages Paid
The marsh was adrift atop a green meadow disguise.
Under the living lurked mud’s viscid surprise.
Pushing through nature that stood in their way.
Vine gripped embrace the swamps gesture to stay.
Lungs burned from the cold with every suffering breath.
A loan willingly paid on the contract of death.
Mixed in musky decay with the sweat of their skin.
The sweet perfume made by Earth’s creatures of sin.
Winds icy aim far truer than the greatest of foes.
Silently each cried with each blustering blow.
Wearily they trudge on blistered sore aching...

Hydra
In a time of great adventure where legends had there start.
Beasts and man and all the gods dwelled not so far apart.
Then resided a young soul who lived a woods man’s life.
But wished for more than a home, children and a wife.
He imagined heroic deeds in places few have seen.
A triumphant warrior was his vision in all his many dreams.
It came to pass he left his place to see these foreign lands.
Crossing icy mountaintops and shore lines flaked with sand.
From desert plains to deepest woods he traveled on alone.
Till ending in a forest village like...

Oasis Queen
I lie awake and pierce the void of this restless night.
My minds eye sees a torches path burning ghostly bright.
The flavored air of myrrh and jasmine thickened as I near.
Men gathered speaking foreign tongues to faintly over hear.
Guards flanked the entrance each with swords drawn within their hand.
Carpet tapestries of red and beige replace the desert sand.
Inside the shelter stood smoking hookahs around an open space.
On a silken cushion near the back is where I took my place.
Shackled slaves each bore the brand of their master’s mark. ...

A Perfect Circle
Far back in the forest hid a cottage of fieldstone.
Away from village and neighbor it stood there alone.
Dwelled a man and a girl of radiant hair.
Happy were the two among the wild everywhere.
Old grew the man but the child stayed nearly the same.
When age made its threat came the time to explain.
“Their once was a fierce storm it ripped the forest apart.
Among the fallen trees was a nest spun as a heart.
Within this cocoon is where you had been laid.
Since then in our home together we’ve staid.
Awaits now your destiny a great journey’s ahead....

By And By
Not blind from drink but a staggered walk was how it caught my eye.
Across the summer scorched concrete plain desperately it tried.
Monoliths dared halt the effort as its passage was denied.
Around or over the met obstructions it hardly lost its stride.
Aloft to be should torn wings have strength enough to fly.
An exhausted will left a broken form as it lay upon its side.
Struggled still against life’s fate it vehemently defied.
Silent was a final gasp and it’s absent cry.
Alone and lonely with none to say an eternal bid goodbye.
Ensued a festive...

Guardian Angel
Someone watches over me.
So within I love thee.
While together and everywhwere.
All my life is ours to share.
So within I love thee.
While together and everywhwere.
All my life is ours to share.

An Endless Dance
On a bitter cold winters night in the poorest part of town.
Where abandoned homes and factories crumble slowly down.
A discarded place that once stood proud still was someone’s home.
There in a room of family gatherings one sat all alone.
A grimy soul in tattered clothes and ill fitting worn out shoes.
The kind of man that’s turned away with out the least excuse.
In earlier times when he was young he dressed so very well.
His honor earned was taken when he accidentally fell.
Stricken to a weaker state with the impairment to his mind.

Verne
Named Nautilus it's fleeting niche of neon blue betrays and mocks it's reason.
Condemned to venture from northern ports whose trade in warmer season.
To prey upon nomadic merchant or vessels meant for war.
In life's natal nunnery each shall rest whose harm shall be no more.
No care is made to give a thought of their breath now filled with sea.
Not nymph but mercenary or fortune seeker whose soul shall be set free.
No pleasure made but like a nettle whose thorn can not be found.
Where nicotine gives little comfort observing men cry then make no sound.

Daughters Of Time
In endless vigil are watcher’s fair the maidens of eternity.
To keep now’s space between what once was and what has yet to be.
Forever’s children have not taken rest their guard has just begun.
Theirs is to stir wait’s solitude a god to nothing quickly done.
From beyond to beyond through the book of life they turn another page.
In time beats there pulse with every step marched across the age.
Know the future holds not a blessing or a curse upon the past.
Deny each their due and in its wake the first shall be the last.
When the elder’s lessons are...
