The Landscape
Marcus Belcher Jul 2016
Gripping the clouds
To fly upon their wings
Heaven's delight
Every time it sings

Tell me father
Tell me now
Show me the way
Show me how

To educate
To show them the light
Teach them when to bend
Advise them when to fight

We demand change
While staying the same
Want the power to fight?
Pick a different flame
A reflection of the times

Happy Hour
Marcus Belcher Jul 2016
You show me your form
But leave out your function
That comes later
After a dinner or a luncheon

Trading our stories
Sharing our facts
The image is clear
Now to relax

Brick by brick
The mortar we lay
The hands are our lives
We live everyday

So please take care
Of the actions you take
They are the blocks
Of the life we create
Fun at the bar as usual

The Zephyr of Fall
Marcus Belcher Jun 2016
I've seen where those images
Take root
Trying to till them
New flowers need to grow
Just for kicks

Because...
Marcus Belcher May 2016
I like writing about you
It comes so easy and natural
Like the grass that grows
The moon that shines
Or the happy thoughts
when your on my mind
It is effortless and enjoyable
Like enjoying the wind on my skin
The sun on my back
And you in my eyes
Someone once asked me why a lot of my poems revolve around female influence and love. This is part of the answer I s'pose

The palms of my hands
Haven't forgot your touch
Your laughter still rings
Gentle echos in my mind
The look in your eyes
When I catch you looking
I look forward to
Creating those moments again
One of my many "last call" poems. They tend to be short

Just a thought
Marcus Belcher May 2016
It's 2:17 am
And I'm thinking about you
Slightly infused with the juice of the earth
Blessed by herbal essence
I wish to hear your words
Just so I can hear your sound
A melody of pleasure
Notes that paint a picture
Depth that the seas could not rival
Height only the heavens could overcome
You see
Just wanting your skin
Isn't enough for me
My desire for one is a conviction
A commitment to try
One day
One moment at a time
A poem from my upcoming eBook in the works.
Marcus Belcher Apr 2016
I just want you to know
I don't care if you don't love me
I don't care if you don't want me
But you must know
I want you
I want you to be apart of sunshine
I want you to be apart of my smile
But I accept if you don't feel the same
I know these actions are not in vain
But I hold them in my brain
Helping me grow against the strain
So ladies...hop on this magical train
I want to bring you joy changed from pain
To all my former girlfriends and my future wife

Acceptance
Marcus Belcher Mar 2016
Those who aren't scared of fear
Can protect everything dear
Hence the reason you hold them near
Call 'em dear or baby
The picture of a man
Or a photo of the perfect lady
It's you I choose
I accept the concequence of win or lose
Putting all my eggs in the basket
My nervousness
I wish I could mask it
Now I laugh at it
It's just proof
Of the truth of my words
So if your a little bit scared
It means you are prepared
To take that journey
To seek that fact
You stepped over the line
Of no turning back

Beyond
Marcus Belcher Feb 2016
A mellow air with cool vibes
Cicadas serenade the stars

Maybe paying homage to their brillance
The heaven's light
I think of balance when I look up at night
Darkness given purpose
Light a canvas on which to shine
One cannot exist alone
Joined at the cosmic and molecular hip
Twins from the same womb
Magnetic opposites

A mellow air with cool vibes
Cicadas serenade the stars

They have been there for us
Ever since the Great Fall
A reminder that we are not forgotten
Not forsaken
But reminded of where we come from
And what to shoot for
A heavenly aim we must have
It really is the best way
To see the forest for the trees
A beer, a table and 15 mintues of being lost in thought

Van Winkle
Marcus Belcher Feb 2016
I had forgotten myself
Lost in the stars
Wandering in the spaces of my reality
Feeling connected
Feeling isolated
All in the same inhale
Blended in the exhale
Forging my spirit cost me time
But it has given me forever
Forever me
Forever true
I have woken up to a new view

Spread love and knowledge

Precious these stories told

Off the cuff....
Marcus Belcher Feb 2016
Intelligent movement for the masses
Gotta reach em now before time passes
No line between the classes
Warfare in the home
No peace in your dome
Wanna build that Rome
In a week
And at the peak
That beacon of hope
Not dope used to cope
Gotta have a firm grip on that slippery *****
Called life and strife
Don't use the knife
To bring on that permanent night
That tunnel of darkness
Home of the demons and heartless

Marcus Belcher Feb 2016
A slave to the world
Putting hands to the girls
Now I'm thinking payback
Forget a Maybach
Unless you got money
It won't stop the lead
Your ego is the target
These ****** want you dead
With two to the head
From the smoking glock
I guess you didn't observe your time on the clock
You think it'll keep ticking
When it's been born to stop
That's why you need to be hip
But move is the hop
Embrace the 3 and let your form rock

It is time.....
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
I found it after she left
This feeling she awoken in me
A feeling I thought I severed through my own will
Primal in its nature
Fire re-ignited
To want contact again
Spinning in a vortex of sweat and sounds
A woman's essence apart of me
In a pleasurable connection
I want you
I desire your flesh
But only if your spirit comes with it
Being gentle is in my nature
But also a beast when my blood is excited
I want to drive you wild
But not insane
So tell me when to slow down and maintain
I must know your rhythm
Being in sync takes things to another level
Mind Body and Soul
I want it all
I've always been afraid of my own sexuality but she showed me in the time we knew each other that it's possible to be ****** without being as a mindless beast but also when to let go and just accept those primal instincts when your with someone you care about. I will be forever grateful to her....

Lyrics on the fly
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
I find flaws in here and in all of y'all
Born upright but bound to fall
Stand tall but a little bend in your step
A little more weight to add to your rep
Want a feeling to give to the people
Give 'em equal before I give them the sequel
Most can only handle one thing as time
Just pour tequila in the glass
Just give me a lime
No need for the salt
It's late and your fault
That was your one ticket to get in my vault
Been locked out
Time to reroute
Please know what your about
I'm about soul and rhythm
Personal creeds
Putting my spirit wants above my physical needs
Rapping in my head while having a beer

Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
India is where it was born
Or was it England?
Probably somewhere in between
When the stern wind blew it in

Pale isn't a proper color
I think more vibrantly
Amber shaded glory
Seen vividly on my tongue

Ale, a old friend
He grew on me
Now we are best friends
Riders to the end
An ode to my favorite beer

Vodka and Pineapple
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
Pulling the charred earth inward
I reminisce about feeling
Sipping on the forgetful elixir
Trying recreate it in my mind

Am I in her bones?
Does she feel me across her skin?
Would she go blank when she catches my scent?
What is she thinking?

Questions with infinite answers
Endless angles
Countless meanings
A race with no finish line

A path I gladly walk
Why worry about the end
When I can live in love and forever
Wandering thoughts....

Her Mark
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
She cracked me
Those piercing eyes
The ones I thought I only had
Turning their power upon me

             But you should thank her                                                             ­Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 
                                                                ­Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 
Laying my flaws out
with the morning laundry
Practicing acupuncture
with my insecurities

But you should thank her                                                             ­Â           
                                                       ­Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 
For I truly asked for it
Breaking the wall with my hands
Giving myself to the painful typhoon
She called love
  
But you should thank her                                                             ­Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â                                                                   ­Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 

Without that hurt
I couldn't appreciate your soft zephyr
Resting in my wings
I appreciate this softness
After leaving the storm
She loves me but can't love me but she taught me how to open myself up to it. Whoever I marry will be forever grateful .

There in your darkest hour

Don't Worry
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
I've always been afraid to be ******
Never wanted to be a raging hormonal beast
Loving her parts but not her whole
Perverse thoughts staining my soul

But wanting her skin AND mind is fine
An appreciation that ages like wine
Thinking of your body while feeling your light
Wanting to make love then hold you tight

To please is to love
Learned that from above
Your comfort is a priority
*** is wanted but part of the minority

No scheme or plan
Coming before you a bare man
Offering the radiant tangible feelings in my hand
Fighting to stay when other ran

Drowning in the depth of her essence
Overcome by your totality
Unable to exist with you in reality
Hence why he's the latest fatality

But I'm here on demand
Trust me, I'm your biggest fan
Don't worry, it'll be alright
I'll be here when you greet the morning light
A very personal poem that explains my anxiety around women who are beautiful. Inside and out.

the inner
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
There is something in me
Long forgotten
Yet it pushes and pulls
Always reminding me

This solidarity is coming to an end
I have walked this path enough
For I have found what I seek
Now to open my eyes

But I must warn you
Things won't always be gentle
In order to grow
First you must burn away

Just ask the forest and the land
Just ask the trees that sprouted from the ashes
Just ask your favorite island
They have danced with the fire

As will I
But not to harm or repel
But to warm and inspire
Myself and my space
This one kind of poured out of me. I sense a shift in my life coming soon

What have you done...
Marcus Belcher Jan 2016
I want to be naked and against your skin
Never thought just being touched could do so much
A high no drug can create
Your touch is in my bones
That's why I hurt when you go away
But it's a beautiful pain
Reminding me that this is real
And it's to be appreciated
The moments I roam and caress your curves with my body
That gentle zephyr against my chest when you sleep
But the best thing of all?
Saying I love you and truly meaning it with every fiber of my being
Even if it hurts me
I want you to be the one who does it
A light to my darkness

I want to love my voice y'all
Learn to be me
I can see everything
Except how to be free

In my own skin
Around my own kin
This **** is crazy
One the factors why I don't have a baby

I wanna show them
Real love from the heart
The thing that stays together
When you fall apart

Hold on to it
But learn to let it go
When both can feel right
Then you'll know
One of my best in the moment writing ever to date

Moments that last
Even after your gone
Ringing of the bells
Restless children
Yearning for the day to come

Cracking the horizon
Happiness fills the air
Rampaging feet thumping
In a chaotic mass
Searching for it
THE GIFT
Memories that last
A Merry Christmas
Savor the time
Had to write a Christmas poem...

I have felt it
That flow that nature follows
In my feet darken with earth
Upon my hands the wind lays
Through the light that burns my eyes

I have seen it
In actions of man
Instincts of animals
Patterns in the clouds
Within myself
I plan on expanding alot more with this one. Feels like it needs to be a long poem.

I would like to say that
I'm writing this to you from a cloud
On which dreams lay
Ready to fall softly into your mind

But other times it's flicked
Like a pebble skipping across the image
Ripples that ruffle smooth feathers
Unsettled and unnerved

Rooting myself in the ground
Trying to live in the round
That circle
That sphere
That vision in which everything is clear
Just literally decided to write that just now. I love rrandom ideas lol.

They say I'm too quiet
I don't speak enough
My stance too clear
My choice so rough

Cultivated through the fire
My soul and desire
Battered by people, friend and foes
Always throwing shade at this average Joe
Bits and pieces of lyrics I jot down every once in a while

Destined to always shine

            into our own well of despair
Scattered
                                              thoughts
Never
             hold
                       together
                                         long
But somehow
It all comes back
Nice and neat
Tucked in rows
Wrapped in bows
It is a duality
                             Light     Dark
                             Day       Night
                             Love     Fight

         You need to know both halves to enjoy the whole
A little more Taoism

Mighty soul strength
You would be wise to notice

Holding power in my thoughts
Anyone who is weak
Knows they stand no chance
In time

Surrender your mind

Striking at the core
Turning your world blank
Revealing your true self
Only when you believe in you
Not in the outside
Gaining something much more
This war inspired by one of my favorite mangas called One Piece

His and Her
Marcus Belcher Nov 2015
Till you hear from both ends
Why? When? What? Who? How?
Others may offer a couple pennies

Simply stated is the best
Indirect is muddy
Dragging through unseen
Enveloped in chaos and swirls
So you may lose your way

Till you hear from both ends
Open mind required

A half isn't enough

Sometimes they fit perfectly
The sides
Other times
Ripping each to shreds
Yearning to be the final answer
A poem for my couples or anyone caught in the middle

Me
I was a man with no dreams
Just like the new moon
Hidden
Those visions that give you wings
So that you may fly and soar amidst the giants
But my wings grew slow
As did my desire to fly
Growing restless in the valley I called home
My back is starting to itch and my feet won't be still
This one is a personal one. It's mostly about the growth I've made over the last few years

Sweet words for her ear
Ring true and ring clear
I know they'll be fear
So please do come near

Respect I don't lack
Abundant in fact
It keeps us on track
No looking back

Her body I do crave
Its hard to behave
Lust's slave
A reason to shave

Many a question
Hope I'm the selection
When your not sure if it's lust and/or love

In the Void
Marcus Belcher Nov 2015
Boiling blood is just the start
Igniting the energy of the heart
The chi, it swirls to and fro
At the Master's command
Ready to flow
It builds, it builds!
Whispering gently to muscle and nerve
The mind removed to keep emotions at bay
Movements are swift
Precision and trust
Past and future
No place here
The moment the air is cut by no fear
Only the moment remains
The moment.....
When a samurai reveals his blade
