Draped raven hair

borne with an explcit flair

stories written on the blankest page
the faintest smile
when lifes a squall
The upturned face
with no agenda
asks a question
are you genuine or a pretender
pruity dusted with mascara
light touch painted, for a starter
Sringtimes welcome all year round

DRUGS POEM

Hope that help will come?
Tap left on, of self thats drained
a mesh of scars to dull the pain
to fool yourself and feel the numb
a fading dream that help will come!
Feel winter chill in summers heat
as black clouds o`r the mind do creep
I fight and fight, but just succumb
and prey alone that help will come
Wild dragon lives within my veins
when exatacy is short attained
the dollar bill, its laughs in fun
my urgent screams that help will come
Rocket fire to a distopian abyss
caverns and maze is where I now exist
who`ll throw a rope...
a mesh of scars to dull the pain
to fool yourself and feel the numb
a fading dream that help will come!
Feel winter chill in summers heat
as black clouds o`r the mind do creep
I fight and fight, but just succumb
and prey alone that help will come
Wild dragon lives within my veins
when exatacy is short attained
the dollar bill, its laughs in fun
my urgent screams that help will come
Rocket fire to a distopian abyss
caverns and maze is where I now exist
who`ll throw a rope...

Dont tip my scales (libra)
I`m warning you: dont tip My scales
its taken years of fine detail
lifes see-saw with its ups & downs
the equilibrium so rarely found
For you behold a happy man
so bend and ear and I`ll expand
look to the heavens, its secret keep
our birthright, we are tied replete
Storm or tempest headed not
all those hotheads loose the plot!
while others carp. wail and moan
just placid notes do I condone
To sail on life with even keel
still forge ahead with caution steeled
for the stars have cast my DNA
I cannot...

Irreverance
Its brittle gleam
and floats in the grey seas night
offered up my heart as sacrifice
while dressed with clouds pristine
With poetry struck dumb
starlight awed, candelabra dimmed
royalty, its icy halo specters whim
mirror in the crystal lake
so far from each hum-drum
Cresting or` the snowy peak
hid behind the clouds, discreet
a challenge cast, the reapers needs
to light old valor and new seeds
Cuts to the core of tempered steel
set to rise, wax and wane proclaim
etching with its rays of cream,...

My Path to the eighth house
When the lights are dimmed, your vanity and worth the earth consumes, a reckoning preordained I face, but find solace with a sense of grace. Meditate beyond the grave, fly on more than dreams, hold the vision my forthcoming future holds a sheen. A house that is a TARDIS hidden, and deaths dark maze has not forbidden. A promised golden Narnia awaits, as I dissolve, and earthly bonds all dissipate
The treasured strands of memories are holding fast the anchors leash
Faith to hold not to relapse for deaths it's freedoms grim impact, that house awaits, the afterlife at No 8. But Holy...

Nature and life
Nature breathes us life
spurn its socour, so selfish
hastens our demise
So great its bounty
to abuse it and despise
bind that undermines
Burnt our bridges, crossed
to late, for the amens repost
inadaquacy
Ashes of what could be
paradise, dreams unachieved
our stupidity
spurn its socour, so selfish
hastens our demise
So great its bounty
to abuse it and despise
bind that undermines
Burnt our bridges, crossed
to late, for the amens repost
inadaquacy
Ashes of what could be
paradise, dreams unachieved
our stupidity

Emotions laying dormant
The poem unwritten, sits just dormant
waiting for release
sparkles that never quite ignite
not showered with a sparkle steeped
incendiary flare that fizzled out
love; its promises, fluttered hope
love letters tied with granny knots
when you were lost, and so besot
written then interred, embossed
and faded like a flower preserved
its precious essence never lost
just waiting like some old remains
for you to dig and use again
archaeology of time precedes
whispers for the poet buried, not to deep!
for love is always,...

Taken for granted?
Taken for granted?
As you stand and hold your trowel
Comes weariness, released in moans
She whispers sweet in a greener vowels
Rest a while and tasks postpone
A motherhood in verdant dance
The seasons rituals turn, lion to lamb
Harmony of cadence in broad enhance
In forest lush or deserts barren sands
She reaches out to heal in quiet grace
Mental strife, all left behind
Calms life’s frantic pace and find solace
In natures balm be intertwined
A matriarch with womb replete
Germ not chaff, a gift...

View from the backdrop
standing in the theatre wings
the shuffling feet is the tinder.
the tinder of ideas
bare page, empty seats in the auditorium
ready face ingrown strengths and inadequacy
shivering mentally
bearing the ink blots of conception
uncertainty a tremor
and then sometimes: not often
the orgasmic rush
like an alpine skier who breaches the virgin snow
cascading and carving the path.
just for moments the blinding sun
captured on your snow goggles.
vanities ego, a thundering express train
heading towards the rockfall of...

Goodby buddy
Feeling rise unpacified
more than a friend
for we were more than tied
singular faithfulness untill the end
companion, solace, ever there
I howl in anguish, life! despair
worn lead, chewed bone
and empty chair
more than a friend
for we were more than tied
singular faithfulness untill the end
companion, solace, ever there
I howl in anguish, life! despair
worn lead, chewed bone
and empty chair

Help (rondelet)
I asked for help
I am alone and have no friends
I asked for help
Their is so little of myself
The wrongs I did, and make amends
beseech all others and depend
I asked for help
I am alone and have no friends
I asked for help
Their is so little of myself
The wrongs I did, and make amends
beseech all others and depend
