Stu Harley "we shall welcome"

sun
bring me
sweet light
sunrise sunset
so kind and good
the day that we met
you shine no regets
then rise and set
from dusk to dawn
almighty sun
thy soul begun
more than faithful
as a ray of hope
that shine
for everyone
until the very end and
we shall welcome
a warm and gentle friend
sun thy soul begun

13 "No tears shall fill this olive grove"

Hopelessly dependent on your heads and hands
were the pieces of me strewn on your platters
spinning wildly, correcting, dissecting my faces
praying for movement of the allegro, sans.

{An insidious little fox with her naughty tail
came to wrap around my being and close
never you mind what transpired next,
a shattering soul was no longer frail.}


But back and forth the fugue swings
never fulfilling the adagio's haste
the remnants of me are long since lost
scrambling for nothing, my madness sings.

Now I am left with no memory or past
now there's naught to look forward to
now I can die a regretful death
now the scherzo, can take flight, at last.

No tears shall fill this olive grove
the sorrows of a few grace its arches
the final movement is now at hand
slump, lively, into the irony of the allegro.

i've lost my HDD. years of my life just erased in an instant. all my poetry, books, music, photos, movies, softwares, everything gone.
David Nelson "put em in the oven, the truth shall set you free,"

Ramblings Part I

Hippy dippy weather men, continued dark all night,
one potato, two potato, keep trying until I get it right,
you roll em up and roll em up, mark em with a 'B',
put em in the oven, the truth shall set you free,

every time I close my eyes, something new goes down,
feel like Mr. Parker, lost in Barrytown,
the caves in Altimira provide historic news,
before Elvis it was Carl, who had those blue suede shoes

ding dong the witch is dead, at least that's what they say,
does wearing garlic necklaces, keep werewolves away,
or am I thinking vampire chicks, who like to play the game,
keep those fangs where they belong, I'm not here to claim

I know I've seen your face before, is must have been in a dream,
I've been in this chase before, a very familiar theme,
the small brown fox, chased a large black bear,
not very smart, unless you really don't care

heart equals love, love equals pain,
anyone who's been in love, has also been insane,
please excuse me , don't mean to intrude,
hope you don't think, that I'm being rude

will the politicians, ever get it right,
they say one thing, then change it overnight,
we keep replacing them, but nothing seems to change,
is there something wrong with me, but doesn't that seem strange

I bet I can keep this up, then again maybe not,
too much Sterlings Merritage, the killer's changed the plot,
now I need to lay it down, say good nite with an angels kiss,
once again I search the sky, look for the abyss

Gomer LePoet...

I believe the title says it all.
Erick "A new day shall dawn with wondrous surprise."

Sleep well, my princess, peacefully, serene.
Let not anything disturb thy dreams.
By light of the moon, by light of the stars,
Sleep well, my princess, and peacefully dream.

In morning be rested so when opening thine eyes,
A new day shall dawn with wondrous surprise.
By light of the sun in skies stretched far,
The next day brings new joys to be prized.

But sleep well now, my princess, in the quiet of night.
Let not anything thing bring to you fright.
By the sun’s rising, oh beautiful star,
A new day will be waiting for your delight.

Amanda Muller "before *thou shall not pass*"

the miles between point a
   and b are too many
but as always, the race is on

...and oh, yes
  i am in a race
of my own creation

brain calculates and recalculates
eyes darting
vehicles
    sunlight
road
    mirror
(is that an officer of the law?)

i practice the smoothest curves
   fluid motions
but at the same time
      sweet sassy maggy
follow the rules

don't forget the coffee for the love of god
    make it to the one gas station by 7
for fuck's sake, get around the blue car
   the black car
the raggedy old truck
        before the exit or you know
you. are. screwed. for. miles.

for christ's sake, use all your goddamn skill
   to get a around a stupid slow truck
farm equipment
      or a semi
before thou shall not pass
  or you know your rage will be uncontrollable

things are going well
   you feel confident...you will be on time
you are flying and no one can touch you
   your driving is flawless
       that crazy sun is shining
          and the bass is vibrating your bones

and then t i m e    s   l   o   w  s
    as William H. Macy, you see it
it's that fucking Kia Sportage

adrenaline shoots into my veins
  muscles tense
and i slam into manual
4....3
     take that!
       woman cruising like you're on a lazy sunday drive
          smoking a cigarette like it's 1950.
        
don't you know that i'm in a race,
     and you are my nemesis?

BerylDov Lew "for in their rheumy orbs you shall behold"

Look only into my eyes when we make love
for if your glance should stumble elsewhere
you will see not me but my deformities,
the misshapen amalgam that is me without you.

In loving you,
you’ve rendered me perfect,
whole,
rectified,
an unblemished Adonis
to your Dawn.

Your eyes need never stray beyond mine,
for in their rheumy orbs you shall behold
the Big Bang of creation,
the sensuous dance of Shiva,
the birth of humanity,
the awakening of consciousness.

Just look in my eyes and
I promise
you will behold
the universe entire,
with you at its center.

Claire Elizabeth "So I shall wait for the absolute perfect"

Craving something so impossible yet so
Wanted
Wishing for that small wish which is too far
Away
Hoping for that first time, that first, meaningful
Time
In which your lips meet
Mine
And we close our eyes and breathe in the
Other
But alas, I am a hopeless and romantic
Mess
A fantasy girl that nobody
Wants
So I shall wait for the absolute perfect
One
Wish upon the dead and falling stars that claim to have
Luck
And on every 11:11 clasp my hands and
Pray
Because I have figured out, I can't wait
Forever

Soul "Or shall you continue down this path,"

Why oh why dear
Must you do this to yourself,
Filling your veins with liquid poison
Harming the ones you love...
My dear Brandon, you are gone.
Will you return to us,
Your true blues?
Or shall you continue down this path,
And listen to those lying muse
Of the friends you think will be there for you,
When you overdose,
And fall into a comatose.
They will leave you dead,
My dear Brandon,
Get out of your addict head!
Before its to late.
Before we will bury you,
This is not your fate.

This friend of mine is now in the hospital. He is a Heroin Addict and has Cystic Fibrosis, as well as Valley Fever. He is not in the hospital because of his drug abuse, but because of his two conditions, that are now killing him. I sure hope he gets better, and that maybe this is a sign for him to get clean.
Tom Kelly "As I am now, alone, and so forever I shall stay,"

It's been a while since we drank wine,
On the borderline somewhere between love and great desire,
I was a miser, a pauper in the ways of romance,
With space in his heart for two but a want for one.

You were the elegant lotus flower,
Unfurling each delicate petal of venomous beauty,
I was taken aback with what I may never know,
Your eyes like none I'd ever seen before,
Possessing all the wisdom I need in this lifetime,
I stood shaken, a stray dog in the rain.

You beckoned to me to dance across celestial Babylon,
But in my haste and in my darkest hour to date,
I procrastinated and that glorious morning sun returned,
Ripping down each pathetic colour from the rainbow,
Until my whole world fell grey and limp,
And silence dawned upon my heart and I was then,
As I am now, alone, and so forever I shall stay,
'Til death do us part, my heart and I.

Nygil McCune "You shall not have me"

Greed is a fencepost,
her thighs are laced with barbwire
towering so tall.

You shall not have me
for i am enormously
so much more than you.

Greed lies between thighs
tongue deep inside the lip folds;
this is mine, all mine.
