The Ravin

I want to write about you
But I am afraid if I do so,
I will fall in love with you
All over again

My Ravin Haired girl whom I loved very much. I hope you are well on this lonely night.

astronomy

your eyes are like the night sky
pitch black and endless
a pool of mystery so deep

the first time i stared at you
it left me wondering
how a world so vast and mysterious
can fit into a face so small

The song Stars by Callalily played on my mind when I first stared at you after a long time of not minding how handsome you were.

cat

your lips..

your lips
remind me
of the words
my hands
wish
they had the courage
to write

Midnight Sea

.

The unknown depths call out to me
promising oceans of tranquility,
so let me slip down silently
'neath the waves of a midnight sea.
Addicted to this supplicant swoon,
witnessed only by the waxing moon,
the descent into a liquid room,
as Sirens wail their plangent tune.
Surfing out the softest of tides,
'pon the crest of love my being rides,
to where the deepest of feelings reside.
I sink with ease most graciously.
So let me slip down silently
'neath the waves of a midnight sea.

Poetic Bigotry

.
For some it is a poetic crime
to ever use an imperfect rhyme.
As the Emperor of enunciation
I embrace differing pronunciation.
So chain not words up in a prison
let them go with their own rhythm.

.
Old poem I found in a notebook, previously unpublished.
I think I wrote it for another site where there were
a lot of snobbish 'academic' poets.

Red

Red
The color red
In this world of darkness all my fears can take ahold of my dying breath and all I can see are stars and all I can taste is

Red
The color red
I climb through my thoughts, a never ending sea, no one can save me as I paint my body with a beautiful shade of

The color red
Millions of us sit here as all we can do with the panic rushing through our veins is picturing how lovely flowers might look again if we ended it tonight just hoping that at the funeral they will be there crying tears of

Red
The color red
These overflowing words pour out of me like the river that rushes endlessly far out into the night sky and I look above me and see her face and suddenly all I see is

Red
The color red
As nothing will ever define me except the words I write, the words I am chained to, the words that make me fall in love over and over again with the color

Red
The color red
The color of pain and beauty and lust
The color of our souls that are taken ahold of and tossed into a shell that bleeds the color red we are trapped in red everything is red and I turn to see your face and it is

Blue
and suddenly everything
Was blue
