Poetic T
The dog buried it in the garden, in one of
Its many holes, it was a dog of course
Just not the normal dog,
No skin,
No fluff,
No idea?
Where it buried this which I needed,
Which I owned,
It was like a mole had been playing whacker
And dug up
50 mounds,
50 holes,
50 buried
But which was that which I needed to hold,
My hands waved too and froe,
I would talk but my anger  muffled
Not expressing my contempt but with a finger
Waving as my hands in a naughty silent
Window wiper motion,
"Bad dog"
"Bad boy"
"Bad reception"
A voice unheard,
"OK"
Right now I have a worm playing
Hide go seek in my cavity's, it tickles
My sockets, curls up in my nose,
Sticks you know what daddy will do,
And the last time this happened,
What did daddy do??
Legs in the bathroom,
Ribs keeping open the kitchen door,
And your skull was left outside in the cold,
"With a grumble"
"With a growl"
"With relief"
I saw the light,* and my body walked over,
My bony fingers rummaging around
Left a little,
Right a little,
Are you blind
And with that like a touch down,
My skull was finally found,
I rubbed the mud off
I took the worm from my nose,
I sat him on my rib, he had found a new home.
"Now boy"
"I know you like to bury"
"But daddies bones are a no go"
I give him a cuddle, stroked his bony head,
"What's skeleton to do"
When his dog likes to bury bones,
Last week he buried his tail, in one of those fifty holes,
And its still waggling, wiggling as we speak buried in a hole.

So is it a Haiku or a Senyru or maybe just a Jackru?
Loyalty is fleeting
Fragile to the touch
I’m scared of being
Trusted too much!

For I too am tempted
To seek new pasture
I’m not exempted
From greeding luster!

Old brew is fine
But thirsts this lip
To taste new wine
A forbidden sip!

So I ventured
As secretly willed
Tried adventure
On greener field!

But lo I returned
A hole in my heart
All fingers burned
Soul ripped apart!

Can’t hide from her
She knows it true
Healing my scar
Needs her old brew!

We shared coffee on the porch
As we awoke to our timeless summer romance
A world free of commitments
Coupled with unforeseen circumstance

Music filled those long summer days
Magic ruled those starlit nights
Our hearts beat to the rhythm of love
Lost in pure intimate delight

I remember how it felt
Holding you naked in my arms
You were only seventeen
And life could do us no harm

We tripped and fell yet never landed
In our wonderland of dreams
You cried for more and behind the door
You were my gypsy acid queen

A hundred years it seems has passed
But in my mind you’ll always be
Once upon a time
In my wildest dreams...

DC raw love
Keep your eye's on the sky
Your silver will change to gold
--
It's perfection and grace
It's the smile on your face
--
Reach to the star's
Keep love in your heart
--
Hope for your dreams
--
Water can change to wine
Your life will be fine....
So the only thing you lay claim to
is you are a poet.

He was referring to my CV
where it was mentioned boldly
the art I dabble in.

But that’s no skill
shrugged the questioner
doesn’t hone your ability
in finance management
or marketing strategy

can’t fetch one good deal
for the company
your poetry

but to be frank with you
I too wrote a few
only to dump before it got me
your poetry

otherwise I fear
I would not have been here.

Outside were faces in nervous wait.

I wondered if among them
was another poet!

Let those that shoot for fun be
The hunted, let us shoot them not
A death shot, that would be a hunt
Over to soon where is the fun.
  
It will do as they bleed to death, not
Knowing why, or by who, but the last
Breath is of blood and regret this is
Not fun.  

Let those that hunt in the name of
fun, let us get are arrows our rifles,
Teeth or guns.

Watch them run, through the woods
As they know now what they did to
those defenceless ones, now coming
Full circle Watch,
"BANG"
Missed, plenty of ammo left, its just
The start of this fun.

The trail we take, we find are prey
scope to the eye,
"BANG"
Grazed is this hunter become the hunted
O'well they,ll bleed out a little easier
To hunt my prey.
  
Blood drops easy to follow to find
Where you have gone, injured you
Are slower no where to run.

Easy when they can not run, I find
You slumped next to a tree,
Screaming,
Pleading,
Shouting
Out profanities, why me what have I done,
I smile this is an easy ****, as the lion roars
Rips out your throat the deed is done.

The hunt over I did make it quick you
Died in minutes, now feel the pain of
Those you used to hunt to die alone,
To choke on your own blood
Nothing did the animals do,
They did nothing wrong
Just on the wrong side of an idiots
Power trip with a loaded gun.

It's always like this,
seems to be
the way things are,
like passing
into a dark abyss,
you kiss the ground
these things are made of.

And I wonder not at their amazement,
such anger spews from their mouths,
for they foolishly stay,
such determination,
locked
in prison walls
made of their own doing.

For me,
I don't give a flying copulation anymore,
I am crossing over this time,
heading headlong
into
the outer darkness.

And they,
they will dream about me still,
the harbinger of harsh reality,
the liver of the last hurrah,
now smiling,
so alive,
so ****** alive.

Smoking on the ocean
Frames are flashing through my mind
Riding all the dolphins
Through a realm of ancient times
Hypnosis based psychosis
Hold the heavens on up high
And say goodbye to the blue moonlight
As we blow kisses in fire

Black rainbow blues
I've changed my life and paid my dues
But at night I'm haunted by the tune of the black rainbow blues

Shadows crawling up my spine
in the darkest hour of night
as I lay alone in bed and writhe
In the dark and dull blue light
The menace felt serenity
when his chemicals fell in
But when I escaped, liberated
it unmade him from within
Lyrics.
