Broken Hearts
I sail the seas with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

Tina Turner
She did not ask for the life
She was given
Looking like the woman and man
Who decided their life
Was more important
Grandma to the rescue
She did not choose the
One she loved
It hit her like a freight train
Never derailed
Controlled and rolled on
Seeing his goals
Who can save her now?
She did not ask for Talent.
The only saving grace in
Her existence
The children go
The friendships die
The love beaten out of her
Leaving marks that can't hide
Hope all but gone ...

His Fever Soothes My Forever
Tormented souls twist each other
Until flesh reads like braille
Each unseen bruise
Reading like perfection
Until flesh reads like braille
Each unseen bruise
Reading like perfection

to touch a shadow
my darkness deepens then blushes
sigh, to touch my soul
we corrupt a moment coming together
it lingers inside me
moving over my body taking me in
observing what it is that's special about me
a curiosity to the dark
my sorrow serenades him
my sadness caresses
altering the nature of his obsession
he feels affection in his cold detached state
to touch a star sigh
I shimmer in his grasp then fade
angry wrath, oh beholden one
disappearing in my grasp
searching the earth he scours
beckoning the...

Sol
The morning sun took my shadow for a walk.
It flowed over concrete,cars and grass.
Sometimes playing hide and seek with much larger shadows or stopping when I stopped to greet a friend and chat to its own shadow buddy.
Most times it was by my side,a trusted friend.
Quite often though it would be up front hoping to get to the cafe first before the other shadows did.
Or it would be loitering behind me, a truculent toddler in search of its tantrum.
Everyone has shadows.
Some can't find the sun.

harlequin
your hidden casket is imbued halo where darkening mantle
holds nihilistic hindsight when he kisseth softly unfolding
finesse fibered slithering satyr uninhibited macaber
caressing each carcass leaving his cup untouched
conium seeping saplings ever cling to breeding lips
praying mantis has gathered in tentacles open
shadowing figurines chant chasms in hunger
vernissage glimmering mossy banks taunting
sharpening veins inhaling vernal venom preying
vampirical scarlet magnified masquerade

HOW FAR YOU WILLING TO GO
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ FOR I would like to take this time to be able, to share your thoughts on your imagination, and the flow of your deepness of your mind thoughts. For sure there will be more to see if you did really decide to take this chance at manifesting. Your mind own thoughts and insight and just imagine, that you are far away from the negativity and drama and chaos and insanity.
THAT seems to wrap you up with a code of not thinking for thyself. Now just imagine that you are on a planet, that only you were the only one that existed, far away in a...

Earthlings
In the quiet dawn of an Earthling
when shadows bled with light
we emerged as storm and calm
from oceanic depths
to Zepher heights
Carving our desires
into mountainsides, we climb
with slippery feet and bloody hands
wishing to grasp eternity
in a single grain of sand
We are canyon echoes
rivers tracing invisible lines
across our face
heartbeats of a thousand stories
written in linear time
under Universal grace
Our depths hold savage

A Shadow
Haunted by a dark shiver,
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....

The Puppet
where am i who
am i i can't see
it all am i just
a shadow on
the wall stuck
in Plato's cave
chained for life
in a false reality
too blind to see
what lies here
in front of me
am i a puppet
a player in this
altered reality
a mind game
meant to drive
us to insanity
doubt destiny
or am i just the
ghost who's too
scared to see the
writings on the wall
am i i can't see
it all am i just
a shadow on
the wall stuck
in Plato's cave
chained for life
in a false reality
too blind to see
what lies here
in front of me
am i a puppet
a player in this
altered reality
a mind game
meant to drive
us to insanity
doubt destiny
or am i just the
ghost who's too
scared to see the
writings on the wall

There is no better place to be,
than at a MIDNIGHT...there or here,
where awesome shadows let us see,
the specter...of a SONNETEER !!
