Thomas King Jan 2018
I’ve sailed towards freedom
A lifetime it seems
But only manage to arrive
Only in my dreams

Stranded in this place
Like a ship on a reef
Held fast in the embrace
Of heartache and grief

Unable to pull free
From its iron tight grip
Trapped in the misery
On my now sinking ship

Desperation and anguish
Washes over my face
My hope starts to languish
On my voyage to this Imaginary place

I’m a mariner who’s out of sort
Traversing this turbulent sea
Searching for the nearest port
Where I can finally be free
Thomas King Jan 2018
How can this be
That this face I now see
Was the face of blissful youth
And everything yet to be

It’s now twisted in hatred
Misery and pain
My Life's hard lessons
Have clearly been in vain

Those once innocent eyes
Bright and filled with wonder
Now dark and full of contempt
From the dark spell I’ve fallen under

Drained of everything
That was wholesome and clean
Unable to remember what hope
Or happiness really mean

Staring now back at me
Are my eyes that now see
The reflection that depicts a face
I no longer recognize as me
Thomas King Jan 2018
Slowly I am drifting,
Fluttering across a lush and green meadow,
Seeking out the life giving nectar
Of your delicious flower

Your ruby red pedals
Spread wide and inviting,
Anticipating my arrival

Gently I land
Upon your silken
But firm pedal

I touch you softly
As I move slowly across your surface
Towards the soft and sensual spot
That hides your precious gift.

Caressing and probing
With maddening desire
I ****** inside you.

Overwhelmed with ecstasy and pleasure
I drink the delectable essence
Of your being

I drink your life giving juices
Until I am drunk with your intoxicating liquid
And can no longer feel the wings upon my back.

I pull away to recover my senses.
Slowly I regain control
And caress you softly
With my pollen covered hands
Then bid you farewell.

As I lift away with sadness in my heart
I am comforted to know
That I will find you again
Next spring
Thomas King Jan 2018
I can speak words of adoration
Well into the night
And still not a one
Will ever be right

To convey or depict
The love in my heart
You have un-mindedly deposited
From the very start

You unselfishly give
Never wanting to take
Only wanting to please
With passion that’s never fake

You are selfless and caring
And unbelievably kind
Another as beautiful  
I would never again find

You are my inspiration in life
My very best friend
That’s why I will love you
Far past my life’s end
Thomas King Jan 2018
How can I express to you
How I’m truly feeling
How can I show you
My broken heart you’re now healing

To be able to explain
My unreadable behavior
To thank you for being
My very life’s savior

Sometimes it’s hard
To know how to orate
So you can truly understand
Comprehend or relate

How much I really love you
How I would be lost inside
Not wanting to be visible
Only wanting to hide

You have given me purpose
A reason to be seen
To step back into myself
Out from behind my diffusing screen

You have made me whole
Heeded my hearts call of distress
Given a voice to my soul
And now the ability to express
Thomas King Jan 2018
Pushing and pulling
With all of your might
Never bothering to listen
Demanding your way is right

Your unwillingness to compromise
Along with your stubborn closed mind
Has clouded you judgment and reason
And left you deaf, dumb and blind

Your arrogance and gall
I really wish you could see
And clearly don’t understand
Why this is the way you choose to be

This is just a testament to your ignorance
To think you are always superior
And further proof you’re just afraid
Of being exposed as someone who’s inferior

Trying to reason with you
Is like talking to a brick wall
You’re just a self centered fool
Another Mr. Know It All


So stop your foolish way of thinking
Open your eyes, heart and your mind
And then you will see
All your friends and life
Have left you behind
Thomas King Jan 2018
My seed has been planted
In the soil of thy intimate garden
Held safe and warm
In the confines
Of thy nourishing womb.

Electrical impulses charge atoms
Genetic strands are animated
Nucleus expands,
Cells divide into a chaotic cohesion of life
Held together by love
Absorbed from thy inner being

Our future is born anew
As our legacy of passion lives on
Living proof held true within the vessel
Of our loves creation
