Seeing you all brawled up,
Gets the best of me.
Don't know why in this life,
Seeing your beauty.
All fixed bruises and scars,
Forced for me to care.
Poisoning white devils,
For the fallen ones.
I to rise in it all,
Till fixed seasons come.
The best of my conscious,
Luring a dark void.
Hoping to swallow me,
The best of me whole.
If only the loving demons could go away...leaving me finally alone.

You shake and tremble inside,
As howling pierces through the stain glass.
For you have ran from the devil’s ride,
His born demon growling after your ***…

As you have made it through the chapel door,
You pray the lock keeps you safe and warm.
Your soul shakes and rattles to the core,
Around you your love is torn.

What is left of candlelight,
Forces you to fret among the pews.
For no one can save your soul tonight,
Bleeding outside your lover’s heart he chews…

Thunder strikes the cross to fall and crack down,
You choke and pray your dear rosary.
Your screams beg to awaken the town,
Asleep they are, Wolfberry.

So sweet the taste a wolf wants,
And sweet the taste the wolf will get too.
Scratching and clawing the wood it haunts,
Just a couple more seconds to get through.

Tackled down the door revealing the moon,
The death of darkness has fixed red eyes.
Your blood to the beast is not immune,
He latches on your demise…

Do you love the grit of my teeth,
True caressing sweet nature,
Slowly engulfing you…
Love‘s venom taking over us,
Never to let you go free,
Nor leave a simple clue…
Symphonies of dreams distorted,
No one to crave you but thee,
Savings for catacombs…
Who to find you of buried love,
Your skin melting of ***** wealth,
Reeking of ****** pomes…
Shake alive your casket of limbs…
Of ground the crying violins…
It was all too fast,
And it wasn’t our fault.
They hurt us to last,
As a wound touching salt.
Rope around my neck,
Tried and cried I couldn’t.
My life is a dreck,
Suicidal shouldn’t.
I hope you’re happy,
No matter that bad day.
False world seems sappy,
Purgatory I pray.
Never to see you,
Far from me you flew.

I missed your touch,
When you walked out the door.
Left me behind,
With Joe & little Flore.
You said no more,
Broken bottles & cans.
Torn wedding pics,
Us aisled among sands.
Wondered a child,
“Where is mommy to be?”
Small words to say,
“You’ll have to wait & see...”
We miss your touch,
Us longing on these eves...
Left behind a broken home...

What a dream of writers,
Upon its grand galore?
Lifting hands upon Poe,
To ask forever more?
An Ernest near his sea,
Of Dante’s own heaven.
Fun to see Angelou,
With The loved Whitman be.  
My dear Plath of saving,
Nestled on her pillows.
So pleased to see the Frost,
Odd this time of willows.
Pleased my own time of miles,
A spirit dream of niles.
For all Times...

Could it be you,
To end my days lost in blunder?
Your saving grace afar,
A hope so loving of wonder?
Miles the ocean,
Of sacred waters to whisper…
You hold a key so dear,
I longing to be your kisser.
Sands of your home,
Cradles the loveliest treasures.
O’, all gold to unfold,
Unlock my heart for your pleasures.
Of golden shore,
You are worth more!
To Jesus…

From Seas,
Her name will hold holy fire.
She will be the first empress,
Rome’s desire…
Of Lands,
Words of wisdom will all flow.
Doves will fly of the dear sky,
Light to glow!
By love,
The conclave of people so,
Will not deny her beauty.
Psalms will fro…
“Popess!”
For souls will chant…chant…to see…

I remember our song long ago
Far along the distant alley
We were the last long lights
Of night
The contemplation of pleasures
Leaving us ignoring us
Of flight

Never knowing the distant eternities
The falling feathers of our sky
Never long
Some asking why

And then I thought of you…
My long aching pain…
Never the same…

For this is why we die…
Nickolas J McKee Feb 2022
Sorry I had to.
I couldn’t hurt ya’ll again…
It’s time I moved on.
Nickolas J McKee Feb 2022
I honestly don’t think you deserve Heaven,
Neither do I…
As you fornicate with the seven,
I am chastised alone to cry…
Sobriety is a made up playground high,
God is some fun.
The Devil sees your love losing by,
For soon in time I will be done…
One by one the seven of lust will die too,
Leaving you dry…
What left of our lives tales told taboo,
No… we are not meant for the hellholes of so…
So lonely the soul never to you to know…
Nickolas J McKee Oct 2023
I have to lock you up again
Because if I speak of you
I will lose you
Like many times before
And again and again
I know I won’t lose you
But it’s my heart always
Lying to me of what’s in store…
And this gold key I dearly hold
With an age old locket my golden friend…

Time is irrelevant,
Nature all decided.
man can live in a tent,
wisdom is roof guided.
hand weaker all to take,
Loved ladies to call grace?
will it be loyal Jake,
awaken trained in place?
not once, but twice i died,
to come back strong alive.
rattled a third time cried,
no foul down nature strive.
destined fangs or their bite,
They know not fated night.

Under the full moon,
You made me breath in,
Where turned,
Taken away.
Under it too soon,
The chastening of your soul,
Enraptures my lust,
Past lost love for you.
For where are you,
Upon shapeshifters,
Wrenching, drenching,
Confused of their souls?
Where am I too,
Clawing,...clenching,...
Under the full moon...
Nickolas J McKee Feb 2022
I pray God will take my life first,
Leaving you alone in the shadows,
To realize the price for our own blood…
No more your life for mine to thirst,
The times you tried me at the gallows,
Noosing your own neck for tears to flood…
Slow martyrdom of death to march,
  No one to save our scars lost of time,
Burnt screams of you telling me to stop…
Withered wrinkled bodies turned to starch,
mimicking dancing demons to mime,
Cry the souls yearning our bones to drop…
Long lost tainted blood for salvation,
a world to witness our damnation…
For Kenneth…
When you find the one, no worry,
I’m sure you’ll end up just like me.
All memories you wish blurry,
******* to live you’ll hate to see.
No, never wishing the worst through,
Yet, bad times just come to find us.
Chased away the good in us flew,
Left a darkened hole filled with ****.
No matter how drained our souls are,
There’s some fight in us yearning more.
Perhaps love doesn’t reside thar,
Maybe the sound of it can bore.
Or maybe it’s all in our head -
True love? What’s left till it’s all bled…
Nickolas J McKee Oct 2021
I can see the silence in your eyes,
They speak for themself.
The pains of your past left long to dwell.
No matter the hardened times we have,
We’re still here to love.
You’re so sweet, so sweet, innocent dove.
O’, I pray for you to be set free,
No more in a cage -
For it hurts of you afar to age.
No matter what the people say, love?
I am here for you…
Always yours for our love to grow true.
To you & always you this true,
They will say love flew…

They slaughtered all my comrades
The decades and demands
No more
Nickolas J McKee Apr 2024
Somewhere drifting off my
Dreams it seems of mind
A sense of reality out of touch
To touch I find mind
A sense of love of gay
For which I always lived
A for and loved much
A chance of time I lost
What known now not have
I lift out of knowing what luck
Upon such shucks as
To know this to past
I love found after all
To know life last.

It’s the same since Gypsy women,
It’s the same since all Gypsy men;
it always has been Gypsy blood;
It always will be until then.
For I am humbled by Oral Tradition, thank you my Great-Grandmother…

Many nights,
Thoughts getting over you.
Seldom fights,
All my dreams to come true.
Hold me now,
Now that your far aways
Yet somehow,
Never to see the days.
Obsession,
Please come out my mind.
Confession,
Leave my lost love behind.
Nightmares can,
Dream again…
Definitions of Dreams & Things XVI - poem 2.
Nickolas J McKee Jan 2024
What I thought of you,
Aren’t all demons from the start.
You’re making it through,
When found no more broken heart.
They know not what know,
What created all around.
So what of daemons,
By true love are some all found?
Catch me if you can,
Not all is eternity.
Even in the sand,
Souls broken down all to see.
If you are not mine,
Then I am not of other.
Fire with air to combine,
What opposed hands to smother…
Nickolas J McKee Sep 2024
You want me back,
Because you’re missing the thrill.
I’ll call my Jack,
And you’re alone to still chill.
Where are you now,
Needing to cope to closure,
so tell me how,
We can keep our composure.
It’s time to go,
Your gaslighting days over.
You ought to know.
Disconnecting drugs sober.
Back what you want -
We know we can’t…

I wish I can find you a cure,
To heal everything I done wrong to you.
I wish I can give much more,
Knowing my love has always been so true.
I miss the way you used to laugh,
Knowing I’m here to always hold you strong.
Alas, what left of me is staph…
Burning needles under my skin and wrong.
It’s not your fault of me falling,
All done to myself a long time ago.
The bugs aren’t in me yet crawling,
My chemical romance you’ll never know.
So what of the days to all shine,
My heart blackened and praised a shrine?
You
Nickolas J McKee Nov 2017
You
If only I had the chance to kiss you,
At the times even I felt your own breath.
Don't know you now much as others know you,
Past of our youth shows your grand innocence.
You, the soul of our time passing us on.
The youth and vigor of life shows it all,
The smiles you shared standing with us tall.
You, the soul heir of this time and of joy,
Left now this young man a world to rejoice.
Where to now our paths mended on by you,
Crossing by our paths always lived and loved?
A shinning jewel in the rough to unfold,
Found like nothing before ever to shine.
You - forever cherished - remembered - you.
For a lost friend who has always been themselves.
Nickolas J McKee Mar 2022
I know your pain,
I know your sorrow…
I know your hurt,
I’m gone tomorrow…
I done you wrong,
This I understand.
I hope you’re strong,
With another man…
Please hold his hand,
Let him treat you right…
Make him kiss you,
Till he holds you tight.
I wish you well,
Farewell to tell.
You never needed my love to know… the mental obsessions I fought for so long? This is the beginning of patient art letting you go…
Nickolas J McKee Jan 2021
I don’t know what you do to me,
But it makes everything clear.
They tell me not to talk to you,
Yet I always find you near.
When we break away it’s our pain,
Forcing us to come apart.
Then we find ourselves once more so,
Rebuilding a loving art.
I say this now to know you’re mine,
For it is safe to say too.
I am yours never to let go,
Hearts fond always to pursue.
What is this you’re doing to me,
I can always hear your tear?
For I will always hear you...

— The End —
