Writing for years now, / poets I look up to; William Yates, Edgar Allan Poe,William Blake, Shakespear / Henry Longfellow, Staley&Cantrell....; / / Hunting, Trapping, Fishing, Guitar and Music!! / / Favorite poem: Alone by Poe
What is asked of him he shall not achieve, he finds exhaustion in his choice of pleasure. Holding on to a past misinterpreted by those with whom he wishes to share. Egotistical self-righteous mistake, Called upon by fools wishing him to shine false light. He walks in still motion so predictable in his awkward craft, frightened by dark wall shades. Myths of fables accusations and labels, oh how they misconstrued. Building a palace of gold in his escape, clotted by lies he sold. Nothing to reap, nothing to share, for the days of his works were never there. As he sits in the sun in a room in the dark he finds an answer in his callused heart. If you wonder continue for you'll never know, he hides in a shelter built by unknown. Official as fabric unfolds, cling to his gift an innocent soul. Let his light shine, it shall never grow old, look inside if you dare for you to can be bold.

Facade
What can be depicted that I have yet to touch, unravel a mystery my mind has yet to absorb. For leaves of stress fall on my path, cremating my imagination as hours pass. As the hand on the clock so turns. One touched by the hand of death, taking by fragile hand to grave. Another, nerves unravel like thread, how many hours only God knows. One left confidence and pride kind has been the hand of time. As the hand on the clock so turns. In a trance broken by my glimpse, reality sets in and we come to this. How many times has one sat and pondered, dreams, tales, all wonder, life? While the hand on the clock so turns.

Hand on the Clock So Turns
Man bore a child to rise from a storm to reach the heights of Godly form Thus came from the vital womb A crazed man; Fear he never knew Pawnee, Pirate greatest Mountain Man his soul journey, to tame a savage land On a trail to the grounds of fertile water he leads many to walking pelts of gold when thunder from the mountains shatters is bold heroic soul Taring from the flesh, extracting from bone the king of the wild from many stories known Lashing of teeth settles on tough leather skin eyes vanish back; Fear overtakes his men When the violence departs by a well placed shot the sulfur clouds like fog lift and float with the wind Two men sit guarding their leader and friend Death wavers over his soul like a black cloud calling to take him to the darkest unknown Fitzgerald and Bridger long ago they did depart taking everything but the will of Glasses heart Rolling to a rotting log, giving the maggots a feast relieving him of infection, revealing scars from the beast The greatest journey now unfolds months of crawling return to the wilderness that he calls home

The Tale of Hugh Glass
HIM: Oh my love hath thou torn from the pleasure of ecstasy, for in your new found faith, thou hast chastised thy own desire. To please whom but a God thy own eyes can not see, shame to lose such an extraordinary beauty. HER: Faith is more then thy eyes can see, I find satisfaction in a eternity. thou hast known me in the past, a shallow fall. ******* angel with such guilt, pride turned to dirt; I so love this, from water new birth. HIM: Your Majesty, for the fools of the garden no longer dance, you found a new king to focus thy pain. Thou hast betrayed the ones who adore and hath given reason to thine pathetic world, you no longer please, is this farewell. HER: Farewell? yes from a down spiral of torment, for thy demons that hath binned me no longer hold me a slave. With the promise of the cross I surrender thy past life to the dogs. Depart from me now I no longer seek love.

Forgiveness and Betrayal
Strive for mythical perfection, how with out critique? I'm aware of trial and error, yet I must press to find favor. Stress nor pacing not an uncommon trait; However Imagination never seems to be mislead? Strange, is the will to create such a masterpiece the only truth? I say not! for fulfillment of ones desire, to search deep within the torment and grace of soul is the true creation of literary art. When there is no distraction from review unlimited is the artists view, for eyes to read and lips to question; besides no one ever understands the intentions. So as I pondered for suns and moons I realize the obvious truth.......For all this time I sat and gave, my heart my soul my tears my pain, I find the lack of communication between writer and reader interrupts the intentions of poetic gain. In all this time I've found no one truly cares what is written down. So shall I dream to become a bright star...No, I wish to remain emotionally far.

Poetry is Dead
These walls create a vibration that settles in my open ears, Reflecting on my mind delivers forth a crystal tear. Head filled with nonsense and laughter of fright, bringing out the demons who whisper in the night. Loneliness not a era nor phase, when shall the sun spread its tender rays. Invisible name capture my insight, take heed my warning and never seek false light. The clearest of burning star shine your wisdom bright, an unbind my chains that lock my knowledge tight. If I may ask for truth and not be caught up in a lie, then I wish for that that's sacred a place were Angels die.

Vast Sorrow
your appearance has never graced my vision, yet on the night of the moon gloweth thy prison. Shelter in the dark heart of pain, affecting the solitary state of thine name, a travesty none shall ever tame. Your warmth has never been in my grasp, tender touch of love never hath pasted. Alas' the struggle of innocent pain, reflects that of the nature of thy game, sorrowfully remaineth the same. Torture my fight of sight, shall strike forth with the pierce of thy knife. Heart ache drowning in loneliness pain, crumble upon my humility grave, enslaved.

Blush of Thy Cheek
The peaceful howls of night complement the dazzling starlit sky Crackling of the burning pine fumigates the cool air Cold bite of the rising sun, fog lifting from the trampled grass, As color shimmers on the mirror ponds, the crickets no longer dance Smoke at constant stream , calling now for dead shades of green Winter hangs by the frosty hills only to vanish like its quick reveal Wind whispers and it sways to the rhythm of trees, sending out natural odors that please Bugling erupts from the timber a song that is pleasant, welcoming those that dream earth had a heaven As the glow brings warmth brightness takes the shadows home, Trails and paths of old come to a place where beavers roam

The Mountain Man
From the heart; the Heart deep high mountains lay frost Laughter and song; Laughter the creatures sing a chant, ritual song From the canyons; the Canyons of red as the tint of fall Word of mouth; Mouth, echos the peaks of whitest snow Crystals form as sickles and reflect the light of noon New phase now repressing as the colors of the moon Shadows respond in ominous stride provoking the waters to musically drive The whispering whistle of the the wind travels through the pines like a soft spoken friend Beauty; The Beauty to unearth a Godly quest Travel now to the mountains, as child to mothers breast.

Grouse Creek
I Honor from that of a fowl heart Crimson and gold-silver bells shrill Fools delight in drunken birth Moonlit jasmine and sapphire glow billowing pillars of smoke from towns below Merry and gay is the festival-parade from farther land come, beautiful delicate maids Hustling steps to the garden square gray stone now wet from decline of care Marionettes sway with colorful strings of joy Shakespearean theater a play of fools making their toasts to crystal jewels Chapels painted star of David so bright yet they stray banished from glorious light Catacombs shake, a hungry soul stirs come now the widows of savage earth Reflect, yes ponder upon shallow grave a house with no sun, yet fierce is the shade Piercing, Scorching the turn of the blade laughter now fades on fools darkest day II For the singer of song, sings unlike that of the bird Howling sheds tears, unpleasant-Forever heard Outlasting that of the harp which David played Increasing with time like a judgmental plague If the halo shines bright, on but a few who wed the blues played by all men who fear life then dead Silver string and black is the heart Heaven and creation so far-Far apart take note of the artist-metronome of pain Keeping the rhythm with Fools darkest day.
