Lion Heart
touching Angelic fate
with a Lion heart
touches the vision of fade
seeking solace I cry out
only you answered silently in the darkness
not offering what I wanted
but what I needed...honesty
truth's hope was bitter
but you understood better than I
I needed to awaken
the rushing of deep waters
your voice crash upon my conscious
speaking parables
a linguist of soul
reaching my hurt places
giving succor to my pain
edifying the woman
chastising the girl
true to form I withdrew ...

Beheld
Aware in the moment
witnessing
awoken for my Father's pleasure
I start
{a vampire's realization}
surely you jest he never left you,
little woman of the horde
Manifesting through groggy visions
refusing to listen
is chastized
Gifted in the way seeks
one on one attention
of her maker
Who dons the dark
and raises the dawn
She recalls those of the way
her breatheren
but she is fascinated by the day
Greetings oh foolish girl
Daddy didn't promise you could...

Ism
Dizzing is the way
seeking forever
my secrets scribed inside me
Little faith evolving from doubt
with a neediness of nature
to obscure the revelations being made
Witnesses beauty
beholding the day
within the sacred chambers praying
for a miracle or two
Aware of his presence
I awknowledge his truth
My honesties pale
I am nothing but a misfit child of scorn
winding her way down from a cloud
Lingering too long in Nod
my Father with a puff of wind
blows me homeward
seeking forever
my secrets scribed inside me
Little faith evolving from doubt
with a neediness of nature
to obscure the revelations being made
Witnesses beauty
beholding the day
within the sacred chambers praying
for a miracle or two
Aware of his presence
I awknowledge his truth
My honesties pale
I am nothing but a misfit child of scorn
winding her way down from a cloud
Lingering too long in Nod
my Father with a puff of wind
blows me homeward

forgot about this in drafts
pain is a great teacher
but listening to others is too
I mean really paying attention
I've never been good at reading cues
body and language and the likes
my mother was different so she taught me differently from birth
so to this day when I'm afraid you won't see it
I will laugh in the face of adversity
not because I think a situation funny
but because it's a coping mechanism
my spirit will also employ alter egos
to speak for my feelings
they are fear or anger based usually
there is real no good place to let go of...

Scrabble
Don't look at me with that feeling
close to the noise I feel insecure
aching in the misunderstanding
walking in the shadows of contempt
the lit way too shiny for one like me
Hurt bursts then nothing
metaphoric sayings soothe for a moment
they are mysteries to unfold
Your love is puzzling
and there seems no answer for it
conflicted emotions star gaze at me
threatening to turn into ash
Reading parables out of platitudes
a string of thought to unscramble
raptured notions
Until I am left utterly...

Fancy
Swinging on a starlit fancy
I daydream in repose
posing questions to my Father
he is beauty incarnate and he alone...atones
Making something worthy of my rebellion
Needy little faith
asking I be shone
the secrets of the universes
Tainted pool, my mind eschew
ripples of understanding run through me
then cloud over
Confusion muddying the waters
Purification rituals of thought to enter
I dare not tread amiss
a child of the host
reaping stardust
Touching infinity my eyes close
then blink open...

hint
depression stutter then speaks
flat feelings leave their impression
I sulk in the dark
I'm not myself I'm slipping I feel it
angry thoughts peak and then cast me off
I alter my behavior to the moodiness of the season
I don't like feeling like this
nature is as pretty as usual
but I know she is concealing something from me
there is death on her breath
the birds seem unaware they sing so sweetly
the flowers still open up for the new day
the trees are sentients with enough wisdom to stay quiet
their secrets are...

Halloween 2023
Untimely in the coming
singing in the eternal dark yearning
sinister culted thoughts peak
then wane on a lunar afterthought
Bloodied moon with no taste for the tide
whether it rise and fall again
but still, it mesmerizes the waters
Sending vibrations, it pulls
slowly the waters come in and out
It makes no comment on the maddening way
tortured souls reeking havoc in the pale light
flicker a soul, then unfurl temptation
and for a moment the world turns crimson
Unhinged in the now
tomorrow the glow will have no...

Stir
The madman weeps for scarred remains
with eager interest reaps the present
a lock of hair
something personal
gifted off the corpse...
his prized little gifty
a songbird singing sonnets for the damned
refuses the invitation
Her lips wet with lullabies
says goodbye all too soon
you think, how dare the tart?
Impertinent woman with childlike wonder
is it any wonder you dislike her
A door a jar
peek a boo
then she's gone again
No mortal can claim her
the sweet surrender of this darkling ...

Parlor Tricks
In the eve grieve for hurt not expressed
holding tight to the pain
a feeling of sadness presses in
Satire of artistic need ridicules
my already depressed state
Sink then rise to greet
sour infliction
sinister greed
Corrupt a vision
then bleed for sorrow
a metaphor for doubt
Sordid details are meaningless
I stake my desires
to the pallor lust
it burns in the background
I turn off the flame
holding tight to the pain
a feeling of sadness presses in
Satire of artistic need ridicules
my already depressed state
Sink then rise to greet
sour infliction
sinister greed
Corrupt a vision
then bleed for sorrow
a metaphor for doubt
Sordid details are meaningless
I stake my desires
to the pallor lust
it burns in the background
I turn off the flame

bare
my sadness swell inside me
my hurt was bluebirds with no song
sorrow knew me there
down deep in the pain
I was loneliness in the indifference
I keen for misunderstandings
my soul burn for your touch
my quiet resolve kept me prisoner
my pride my undoing
I spoke to soon in error
my tongue cutting
it cut me too
I ache in the emptiness
it swallowed me
and fill me with longing
to unravel time
to touch your soul with I'm sorry
caress your doubt with my honesties
and cover your bare
my hurt was bluebirds with no song
sorrow knew me there
down deep in the pain
I was loneliness in the indifference
I keen for misunderstandings
my soul burn for your touch
my quiet resolve kept me prisoner
my pride my undoing
I spoke to soon in error
my tongue cutting
it cut me too
I ache in the emptiness
it swallowed me
and fill me with longing
to unravel time
to touch your soul with I'm sorry
caress your doubt with my honesties
and cover your bare

Slothenly Jones
aggressively coming on from the shadows
eyes shine, soul binds
in the maddening eve I sing
a cult of beauties for you to partake in
single me out among the rest I dare you
I keen in the light
ridiculed by angels
an immortal joke
slothenly be good now girl
I don't know how
a heathen's price to pay
masochistic have you forgotten to beat me today?
blushing blue
pulsing jealousy
terror of hell
rising through the ranks
to be crowned...Queen
insolent little liar
fit to be tied ...
