Always a fire,
flicker to flame
Burn to respire,
Blaze to reclaim
Exhumed from the ash,
Yesterday's ember
Always a fire,
Deemed to remember
Always a fire,
Set to be free
Ignite the spires,
How bright the debris
Two Towers burning,
Oh, what a scene!
Always a fire,
Fates's love in between
Always a fire,
The strength he brings
Like flares on The Shire,
Cups of the King
And SHE -- The World,
The Sun, The Star
Always a fire,
The Lovers afar
Always a fire,
Passions composed
Like notes and strokes,
Intricately chose
Bound two souls --
The Universe, discerning
Always a fire,
February --
Yearning

On this path, I've traveled far
Bound by night, led by stars
Somewhere, nowhere and in between
Guide my chaos to intervene
Hope is glorified doubt
Before the voids transcend to drought
Dreams are the midnight shroud-
Battered moonlight through the clouds
A simple mechanism to adore
Like tides from a distant shore
Or the fall of twilight sand
As you try to mold it within your hands
An artist's life- a passionate breath
A subtle kiss divides joy and death
Hail The Hanged Man!
Let him be adorned.
Commence the trial
The artist reborn

It's as if there is a saddle
****** upon my heart
A well worn invitation
For everyone and no one at all
Do you seek comfort?
You can use it
Need a release?
Abuse it
The axis of my heart has tilted
Stranger nor Lover knows its form
And though it now sets jilted
The saddle keeps it warm

There's solace within the rests...
the subtle backbeats of existence
dormant in my chest
Enter the ghost parade-
A soliloquy of love and pain
Waning echoes in unison
taut by fists and flames

Shadows rise
in her sunset eyes
Our love, the light
passes through
By kindled hearts
we thrive to abide
a love that we both once knew
But no bounds
are yet forsaken
Neither heart
torn in two
So let our souls reawaken
the Universe, me and you

I am a serpent in the Sun
With Earth, that trembles beneath me
My shedding of skin has now begun
A recoil of what it is to be
And I'll use that skin to understand
For what remains, is what I am
An altered vessel
A weary soul
Taking refuge
In a shallow hole
Broken, tattered and torn
Transcending through the stages
Spoken, scattered and born
A mending from words upon pages

Every day are moments
With you I want to spend
Within the folds
Of your arms and lips
Where all desires
Never end

Hooks of bone
A canvas of skin
Frames the gift box
Our souls hang in
From the mind
Our emotions walled
Brushed to the surface
When hearts are called
A picture equates
To a thousand words
But few words, if great
Renders all pictures blurred

My thoughts
like the guts of a jellyfish
Swirl under a fragile sheath
that is my stare
From dormant tick
to fortified tock,
time has had its hands full with me
For silenced words only fester
within the absence of light
Soon I will take my wounds, my scars
and cast them out to be
To dance among the waves
of my tongue
and sting who they may
How I will embrace their sharp return...
To rip this placenta of pain
dawning a coma white
that expends yet again

Poetry is just scratches on paper
forming dramatic words
by an overemotional character
Poetry is certainly
not a pen that digs trenches
for the blue blood to follow
draining a soul to a sterile existence
Who Needs Poetry Anyway?
Poetry is all
roses are red
violets are blue
blah, blah, blah
I'm so in love with you
Nobody cares about books
Notice how the poetry section
in the bookstores continue
to diminish with every look?
Poetry is certainly not as profound
as the inert words
lay gutted by the rapper
which boasts his materialistic empire
that his target audience consumes
yet cannot honestly digest
And you'll find the album
in an abundant display
set in the center of the bookstore
Who Needs Poetry Anyway?
Poetry is just something studied
from history books to obtain credit
A time before the internet
and a true social status
Before days rapt in vanity
Poetry is certainly not a self sacrifice
to explore the wilderness of the heart
and the shutters to the mind
An outlet to tread another day
Who Needs Poetry Anyway?
