I'm a gun in hand

Feel the power in me
When all is done and said
Maker of mother's grief
Here to protect
When on the beat
Harbourer of death
If rises the need

I'm a gun in hand

**** or be killed
The problem where I stand
Is that of man's free will
With no conscience in
The way I was built
Hard cold demands
In cold blue steel

I'm a gun in hand

Open gate to your fears
Dreams up and left
Free flowing tears
The end of all bets
A quick way out of here
I'm a gun in hand
How many have there been this year
Thankful to be alive
I am drawn to Nature's side
Fully aware of my decline
Pining away
In a beautiful rhyme

Holding tight in Her embrace
  Spiral ride through outer space
Smiles and laughter, seldom I cry
Living out Her beautiful rhymes

Caress by her soft air
Blown by her winds
Rain pouring down
Let Her ascend
All but a beautiful
Rainbow in mind
Blessed be the Pagan's
Living Her rhymes
  ....

Your name burns acid on my tongue,
a visceral hydrochloric distaste,
drool, despised, forms on my lips,
grey, venomous from your serpents kiss.

Your fingernails, biting knives in my skin,
slicing open old scars to bleed anew.
The crimson trickle, like dripping honey,
drying rotten about hairs, to scab.

Your body consumes my passion,
regurgitating it thrice seven-fold.
Vomiting lust over the dining table
designed by Nature to make you gorge.

Your intentions, elusive, wild and fey,
twist-**** my mind like knotted stars.
Secrets on the tail of a comet, lightness,
darkness, spitting from a moon girls lips.

No life or death
Pain or pleasure
Galaxy
Or Universe
No more beautiful dawns or dusks
No world of wonders
Or anything
Once we are gone.

So it’s Now Boys!
Attention!
As Huxley said
On “Island”.
Live for Now.
For this very moment.

Stop.
Let your mind go blank.
Listen to your body
And all that surrounds you.

Breathe in the oxygen
That gives us life.
Admire the sky
And all beneath it.

Join with nature:
Sapping grass and foliage
The song of birds
As Mummy Sparrow feeds her fluffy chick
Its beak open wide
Clamouring for food.

Enjoy it all
While it lasts.

Paul Butters
This one has been simmering for a while....
Not interested in pretty hearts,
Happy people, shining stars...

Give me the broken to repair
Will heal the one in despair

Battle wounded splintered heart
Blistered souls tearing apart

Loving them with all my heart
Brighten their life, light their dark

These are the people kept on going
Had their fights but not showing

I Love the shades of melancholy
Call me weird, a phenomenal anomaly.....
I relate with such ppl...happy ones can be happy without me but such people need me
As I grow older
I appreciate life more
Even my wrinkles
I'm turned 49 last month and even though life at times can be challenging I'm the happiest I've ever been :-)
