A luz febril da infância rompe pelo milharal dourado.
O Rei Sol adormece, para lá do âmbito,
para lá do Fim dos Tempos.

Não será a última vez.

*

The feverish light of infancy
strikes deep
in thru the golden cornfields.

Her sun souled feet
won’t stand still -
they rave the sand
of endless seas.

No life, no death,
just the ride in between.

Once upon a time
the gods made us
and we made them.
how horrible it must be for god to know he can read.

we’ll take them all,
these animals of disabled children.

She's a skeptic for crystal bones
doesn't believe in God's treasured
          zodiac prophecies.
                         Be jealous
of the wolves we still call sheep.
You were my lover;
now the moon shines
                in utmost sympathy for
all those frigid nights stars bit at
your ears for the choices you've
                     made in cold song.
Stop drumming your heart to
the sound of my sky
             Lupus told me to tell you
                   it doesn't belong a
                         vagabond such
                               as yourself.
If you can't cut off my tongue,
then who are you to silence
                    me?
The moon is flashing like the bullets
                I've been catching between
                 my teeth.
Like all of the night's phases and heartbreak;
The phases of love will wax
                      and wane.

.
I'm in the Lions Den,
Not the Wolf Cave.

I'm braver than you thought I was, Lycan.

A death is pain
And yes it hurts
But you can't switch lanes
Cause life is alert
Making you stay
In your own line
Driving on day after day

Like this world says your name
Whispering in the wind
With a voice full of vain

Like this world
Is out to get you
Make your heart cold
Like the man below
But only God
Takes the goods man soul

Like a straight rod
Is what we are
Standing there
In the middle
Of a lightning storm
We're in cold
Nothin keepin us warm

There's more than life
And more than pain
Like a lil kite
the wind keeps you sain
There's emotions
And there's problems
That we can't solve
But that we can help

Yes I've learned
About a good mans death
But I'm still not healed
Cause death can hurt
But not forever
It can make me shiver
But it can make see
How much I know
About this world
PLEASE COMMENT

I wrote this in memory of my grand father who's now passed
His name was Rhodes Slaughter Werth and he passed a few weeks ago so I wanted to write this poem.

You only wanted a taste of my brown sugar skin, to kiss my lips that are made from all my sins, you never wanted to dance with me, only wanted to **** the sweetness straight from my veins, your tongue was quick, painted me a new horizon, made me feel like my brown skinned body was worth something to you, until you stopped, until I wasn't worth something to you, you've ****** the sweetness from me, my heart no longer beats like a drum, I lost myself inside of your watercolor eyes, I'm still trying to find my way out.
Break my ******* heart already.
