Rosy Red

Rosy Red
A kiss amidst this air strays,
Lingers in wait and rose red,
Revives its eyes to tragic gaze,
Hopeless that all has shed.
A rosy kiss blown now beyond,
Whispers subtle, amidst this air,
But a breath of love, so fond,
An incomplete heart to care.
Breathless almost, the dreamer let,
Rosy red kiss which blew amidst,
Helpless lips near that met,
In lost eyes, [...]

A poets vault

A poets vault
Theres a poets vault,
In it a million rhymes and charms,
Only the poets they fault,
Then perish with legs and arms.
But maybe little of a legend lies,
Though seek with open eyes.
Worthy writers do search,
On the only vault they hope,
The words of ease can perch,
And in a poets darkness grope.
To reach and smash book shelves,
But never [...]

A tangled web

A tangled web
These feelings that you expressed,
Are tangled in somewhat a webbed mess,
The garden spiders home does the shining,
Clinging and grasp the heart I am winding.
Please i spun the web, now to reach my heart,
On the entangled mess and you the start,
And on my white lace Ive written to wall,
The gardens colour vivid to suns [...]

As Earth crumbles

As Earth crumbles
Those summer nights bare the sun,
Will soon be nocturnal ever sleep,
Still the sleepers beneath have won,
Wither to slither the greens bleak.
The Oak and Redwood all grandfathers,
Rooted the forest through rough,
In the crumbling soil and bothers,
But tumble on dead lands scuff.
Great seven seas wash and wave,
Never as black you have been,
Night skies you stare [...]

Dark Angels

Dark Angels
The dark angels they’ve forsaken
White souls of pure perfection
Now night stalkers to awaken
And to collect in deception.
By means of eternal lifestyles
Dark angels to repay lords
To gather and swipe the flies
Like reapers with scythes or swords.
Their sniper eyes to shoot and take
A thieving army of angels kill
Will gather gifts cruelly no debate
And flutter down intently [...]

Black and white

Black and white
What would a world seem
If black and white the colour
All such would be supreme
And life to be much duller.
Little expression or joy ever
No sky of blue or orange tint
The sun is white forever
A world in newspaper print.

White Star

White Star
The draft it muttered and gently grew,
Like moonlight was washing through,
But curtains shut and others slept,
And in my room this orb of light crept.
Toward and back it would swiftly go,
Not ghostlike, a spirit that could glow,
Yet it muttered by and shone lark,
And lit the darkest room ever of dark.
Passes me there its soul was [...]

Maybe it will burn, maybe tomorrow

Maybe it will burn, maybe tomorrow
The phoenix tonight shall live in peace…
Though maybe tomorrow to burn!
Incarnate and combust
Its precious wisdom will yearn
To leave a heap a dust.
Maybe another day will pass
To soar and dive and level
Or maybe it will turn to ash
In search one day to revel.
A time will be in the making
For this bird [...]

Brash flames rain to burn lark.

And shadow the land under

Dark dragon through red eyes stare.
The skies defence revel in mist
And dawn a kingdom to resist

Princess Worthless

Princess Worthless
Your princess worthless on the sand
Dreams of charming to her hand,
To slate the dragon on her path
Slender silver and of wrath.
Her lonely heart and wonder mind
On the spit of sand shes confined,
No wealth or castle to deny
But an empty world alone to cry.
These lost tears fall on rainy days
Princess worthless in her gaze,

To love a women so ordinary
And treasure her stolen heart so merry.
This vast kingdom that hes alone
Is but of gray bricks not a home,

A million skies in space to stay
To paint the sky in orange strands.

And orbit my heart to lovers tune,
Come close to hither
And eclipse me but never wither

In our relentless stroll,

and beauty in earth we rome
You and me dig deep in emotions,

My Sea, My Sea

My Sea, My Sea
It was from seas of west
that blew the waves
from its mighty chest
blown over sandy graves.
Thunder echoes the skies
and in darkness it lights
and waves they rise
and day creeps to night.
My sea, my sea, I look
you scatter debris on lands
lap by lap thy waves took
on washed up sands.

Night Crawler

Night Crawler
In silence i walked the night,
among my village the beast crept,
its footprints on winter white,
lofty snow flakes the sky wept.
Alone in the darkness i stood,
the beast looked upon me — to dine,
so did my heart sink and would,
not in my favor, this walk of mine.
The beast its jaws soon to sting,
still my fate lingers, [...]

Blue Blood

Blue Blood
Avalanched beneath, was a heart,
Cool and blue cause no beat at all,
In lovers eyes climbing left to fall,
Each kiss was of lustful impart.
Her icy heart that freezes thick,
Shatters! As and falls to pieces,
Blue blood like tears she releases,
While she melts away so quick.

The mirror now cobwebbed in shame
under a dust carpet it stands
of a fair height gilded frame

Its face covered and clouded
as wounded aware of its truth

The mirror now old of time
and elderly look upon too long
so many gaze into a wrinkled sublime

Life and youth it drew
from a paralyzed audience taken
in a wrinkled gaze they knew

in its home in movement alone it does smell.

In the Phantoms night

In the Phantoms night
From a lifetime of sleepy hollow,
coffined in the dismal dungeon it lays
to hunt a night and sleep by days
sheltered from the damning sunlight in castle walls it stays.
The phantoms intension’s infused,
blood likened for its lively taste
mortals lie stone cold, stiff and defaced
kneeled on the ground to drink the bleeding its graced.
Offspring they [...]

The Moon and The Sun

The Moon and The Sun
The full moon creeps to touch my window ledge
and a million stars shine brightly tonight
the silver moon shimmers at nighttime so bright.
The moon and the stars are hidden away
day light dawns the sun in the distance
not gone forever but blinded by persistence.

Could a world if moonless be lost?

Could a world if moonless be lost?
Should a night’s sky be so full?
If a star should shoot away out of our years
Would future sights be merely dull?
As if we would notice them gone.
A place for a full moons presence to be a treasure
wish such a place was not light-years away,
For a night sky’s magic to [...]

Lunar Night
Lay bare on a hillside enrich the deepest darks
mirrored on a shattered lake of glass,
broaden the night congress among stars.
Willow trees weep to a waters edge

golden dust falls by leaves a moth’s chosen path
our full moon beauty mysteriously bound.
My golden moon once was our relic

White Hunter

White Hunter
Sunken depths of darkness
Striking helpless prey
Snatching, severing, savaging.
Stale flesh from pale white bone
Stricken by rotting fish guts
Savoring, swimming, starving.
Soul white hunter lured by blood
Shadowing curious delinquents
Silent, scoping, sprawling.
Searching for its companion
Swarming swollen seas in silence.
Stranded, struggling, soulless.

Midnight
Rest a restless body upon a window ledge,
identical stars shine communally – one rare shooting star for us to pledge. Through moisture window pains gaze high up at a universe,
moonlight reflected by aluminum-bodied cars for its light to disperse.
Porch lights channeling, centering to a point in the distance,
pathways catching light – curbs causing shadows at [...]

a little idea just a seedling hopeful to grow
a miracle set upon it
into a beautiful flower for the world to know.

An events calendar of our lives,
choosing between good and bad decisions
unavoidable circumstances, stage fright visions,

a coincidental arrangement of our lives
the time keeper dependant upon future actions – self control he deprives,
our lives just movements on a game of chess
fate vs. fate
playing an already played game of success.

This is just a small poem i thought of because i read a poem about a similar idea, but i wrote it my own way.
Lovers Pleasure
Romantic kisses,
clothes drape to the floor
my feelings become slender
as you caress my body
adventurous to explore,
Cling to the sheets
we sweat from desire
pleasure felt within
tingling sensation your body acquires,
Climax felt by both

Thats all you creatures are
crawl, creep, swing from my ceiling
keep your distance afar,
Why the black body, long scrawny legs, and eight blinking eyes
Id say you dont scare me!
But that would be lies,
Get off my walls i curse you to do
go home to the ground
tell your friend to move too.

The Battlefield

The Battlefield
White skies flood with grayness
graceful air begins to mature
aggravated weather approaching
rain drops turn erratic
heavy rain turns hardcore,
Blackness struck by electric purple
neon strikes utter – bolts to the floor
roof-tops thrown from houses
wreckage littered empty streets
battle field stories, memories of war,
Gun shots replicated – bulleting decay
fearless winds throw out disaster
shrapnel flaring cast in mid-air
to hide and [...]

Play me

Play me
Like a instrument
My heart pounds out a rhythm,
Pluck on my heartstrings
And ill play you a song,
Damage my heart
You’ve already won,
No more pain can I feel
As the pain is undone,
No more will I open
My heart for another,
Mistakes I’ve learnt to accept
My feelings for you,
I will never forget.

White blinding light

Pain felt throughout

Harm has been caused

Unable to remember

Lying in the road
curled in a ball,
Superhuman recovery

To be in the accident
but not killed by the car,
Fate played its part

Shady clouds break out
white lit sky – hidden away,
Rain showers fall from heaven

Strength up above
Peace – driven astray
Thrusts of wind
Leaves thrown into array
Flashing lights a sudden outburst
Thunder echoes overhead,
White strikes to the floor
The thunderstorm is bred.

Falling through the air

Time stops quick

Fields down below are just a speck

A second feels like an hour
the rush goes through my blood,
Unable to control
what I wish that I could.
Though people love the feeling
of no ropes or boundaries,
