Brine Song
Priest kissed those cold clay lips
Form mutilated on battle between ships
A gift given back from grey seas
Fish and brine ate up everything below the knee
Once a man of honor, strong and bold
A warrior forged in fire and mold
He sailed beneath both storm and star
To find his fate in realms afar
A tale of powder’s burn and sabres’ flash
Of cannon’s roar and timbers’ crash
Where mortal form on reefs was dashed
And hope, like sails, to tatters lashed
The waves bore witness, fierce and grim
As bloodied waters...
Form mutilated on battle between ships
A gift given back from grey seas
Fish and brine ate up everything below the knee
Once a man of honor, strong and bold
A warrior forged in fire and mold
He sailed beneath both storm and star
To find his fate in realms afar
A tale of powder’s burn and sabres’ flash
Of cannon’s roar and timbers’ crash
Where mortal form on reefs was dashed
And hope, like sails, to tatters lashed
The waves bore witness, fierce and grim
As bloodied waters...

My Eternal Flame
I’m reaching out for you
Feel my warmth come through
Screaming out your name
My love is driving me insane
Walking in the rain
Feel the touch of my face
You’re not here – to dry my tears away
How can I make you see
I am the other half
That reflects your eyes
Weren't you the love of my life?
My heart will never find peace
I always feel that something’s missing
Something’s missing....
My eternal flame
Feel my warmth come through
Screaming out your name
My love is driving me insane
Walking in the rain
Feel the touch of my face
You’re not here – to dry my tears away
How can I make you see
I am the other half
That reflects your eyes
Weren't you the love of my life?
My heart will never find peace
I always feel that something’s missing
Something’s missing....
My eternal flame

Here I Go Again
How can I even laugh
When everything seems gray.
Why do you expect me to smile
When my world won't sway.
The coldness in my body
bears the burden of perpetual suffering.
Everything is strange.
A great peril, a calamity, such a fray
That my affection withers away
Though as is my virtue impartial,
Every secret is etched beneath my skin.
And there's an emptiness inside me;
That tore away the innocence and left only sins.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
In the obscure, I must dolefully abide.
When everything seems gray.
Why do you expect me to smile
When my world won't sway.
The coldness in my body
bears the burden of perpetual suffering.
Everything is strange.
A great peril, a calamity, such a fray
That my affection withers away
Though as is my virtue impartial,
Every secret is etched beneath my skin.
And there's an emptiness inside me;
That tore away the innocence and left only sins.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
In the obscure, I must dolefully abide.

Longtime Baby
Been a long time since that ship had sailed
been a long time
long time baby
i remember when i drank from your well
been a long time
been a long time baby
the man i was now an empty shell
been a long time
a long time baby
you're as beautiful now still as frail
been a long time
a long time baby
too long i'm sorry
been a long time
long time baby
i remember when i drank from your well
been a long time
been a long time baby
the man i was now an empty shell
been a long time
a long time baby
you're as beautiful now still as frail
been a long time
a long time baby
too long i'm sorry

These are the days
Smell the rain and watch the sky
This is what i give you
Touch the skin and taste the lips
This is what i have given you
The sand is warm and so are you
Swirl in the water that lick the shores
I have no light to guide you
So make your way by strife
I have nothing else to give you
But an ending life
Never ask why daylight dies
Why the herds head for higher ground
Never ask why i thought you to lie
And to hurt the one you love
Never ask why the night is cold
And why the wind tears in your soul
Never ask...
This is what i give you
Touch the skin and taste the lips
This is what i have given you
The sand is warm and so are you
Swirl in the water that lick the shores
I have no light to guide you
So make your way by strife
I have nothing else to give you
But an ending life
Never ask why daylight dies
Why the herds head for higher ground
Never ask why i thought you to lie
And to hurt the one you love
Never ask why the night is cold
And why the wind tears in your soul
Never ask...

shifting states
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
my insecurities flay me open
and here I am starting fights
where fights don't belong
You meet my fire with more flames
and in seconds we're an inferno
destroying everything
that gets in our way
including each other
until one of us walks away
(usually me)
and we lick our wounds
in the ashes
trying to figure out
what went wrong
It's not our fault
no one taught us how to communicate
but it's our fault we don't fix
the cracks we always...

October Poems 2024 >> frag M ents
A poem for each day of the month in which I was born
DAY 17
frag M ents
the fragments of a broken love
cut sharper than a polished silver sword;
in futile efforts to reprove
its wrong, such love has never faith restored.
the fragments of a broken heart
must bleed their splattered raindrops, till the pool,
vext with the surge of plasmic quartz,
explodes upon the night sky, swift and cruel.
the fragments of a broken life
find ether in the painlessness of death,
whose crypt knows naught of human strife, ...

Give
Are my eyes shut?
Cause I haven’t seen your face
in awhile, but
I’ve gotten used to this plague
Do I look sick?
Because I always feel it
my life’s led with
the decisions I have made
-And I feel like
I’ve given it all away
and it feels like
I have given you away- (Chorus)
I want you to
know that I have given
everything to you
but you threw it all away
-And I feel like
I’ve given it all away
and it feels like
I have given you away
Chorus-(2x)
And now I’m...
Cause I haven’t seen your face

and it feels like
I have given you away

Embrace the Wolf
A malaise envelops me
whenever I think about hugging the wolf.
Feel the exhaled scalding breath, delivering
chills, fur tracing my clothing like a sea
anemone gliding over my weakened corpse,
paws hold me while claws dig into me.
I shudder, standing helplessly again,
the swan inside me weeping for escape
from the sickening, gut-wrenching embrace
that withers my remains, sutures my lips.
Unable to recoil, skin the lamb bare
and reveal the wolf beneath.
whenever I think about hugging the wolf.
Feel the exhaled scalding breath, delivering
chills, fur tracing my clothing like a sea
anemone gliding over my weakened corpse,
paws hold me while claws dig into me.
I shudder, standing helplessly again,
the swan inside me weeping for escape
from the sickening, gut-wrenching embrace
that withers my remains, sutures my lips.
Unable to recoil, skin the lamb bare
and reveal the wolf beneath.

The lie that Passive Means Weakness
Me: Minding my business as I drink with my friend and his friends in order to be supportive and get to know them.
Them: “Trump will save America”
Me: “Ok.” I take a sip and avoid the the tangents going on around me, but roll my eyes involuntarily as their never ending rants go on and on. It's not enough that I am silently enduring this abuse. I'm choosing not to speak on it. And yet …
Them: “Oh, looks like we got a feminist! I can guess, but, who are you voting for?” He knows, but needs the verbal confirmation to drive his point home.
Me: Kamala....

WHAT IS TRUE LOVE in
The eclipse of the moon is a eclipse of the sun, as it hides a change is gonna come as the same is true. FOR love is our happiness and support and encouragement, and respect with honesty and truth and trust. For sure we are still human beings, just looking for the betterment of our lives and life. YET with a positive level of substance in our relationship, that they are still by our side in the good times and the bad times. As in love with respect and supporting us together as one. That with a real honest commitment and consistency, and real communications between us. AS twin flames one...

I Pity
Both sides killing each other
They both deserve to die
Since both do not bother
To stop and wonder why
Why is blood spilled each day
For handful meaningless sands
When killing can stop today
And extend peaceful hands
They kill in the name of Right
Blind in the nature of Gods
Thinking they know the light
An illusional psychotic frauds
Any such god would denounce
What is in his name is done
Yet they kill and announce
What they did is for the...
