A Poem A Day Keeps The Demons At Bay

Grace

star crossed lovers
as romeo loved juliet
and a bird loves the dawn
and a country song sings of carrying on
as persephone loved hades
and patroclus loved war
and as children so love the dark of the moor
as orpheus so honours the snake that took his love
and as mourning in twilight is sung by the dove
by and by lust turns to love turns to pain
as prometheus looks forward
to the raven in the rain

Helpless In Your Hotness

You are my wild fire in the night
That brings my deepest desires to life
I want to revel in your nakedness
Taste your warm sensational flesh
Take me in your waves of hypnotic erotica
Fuel my system with your exhilarating enchantment

Press your mouth all over my bold, tasty *******
Bring me heavenly pleasure
With the tender feel of your hands
Rubbing my soft and voluptuous body
I become so helpless in your hotness
Watching how you sparkle in the darkness
The way you gaze at me with fascination
Makes me quiver excessively

Your red hot passionateness is all I need
Cascading through my system
To make my feminine sweetness blossom
Like brilliant luxuriant flowers
Your lion brown eyes are all I can see
That shines sublimely in my mind

I want to stroke your soot-black beard lovingly
Marvel at the way your freshness flourishes
How you bless me with your rareness
Your fragrant spectacularness, impassioned madness
That moves wildly through my bones
Revel in your impeccability
Let your masculineness touch the softest parts of me

Heavy Hearted

Flowers & Prose

Red & blue sage in remembrance of you
Gladiolus, carnations-
pink poppies too.

While foxglove protects
With larkspur and flax,
The windflowers wilt but always grow back.

White lilies for hope
And forget-me-nots true,
an innocence captured in their ambiguous blue.

Griefs Pink and white orchids,
Support’s crimson rose-
the healing of hyacinth,

flowers & prose.

written in tribute, to the family of a good friend.

beth fwoah dream

waiting for spring

black skies stretch
in darkness, the clouds
dissolve into rain,
the night is lacquered
with varnish like
a wooden floor,
shiny and surreal -

it breathes of night
bird and the magnolia
light of the moon, quivers
and then is still, wraps us
in the mirrored waters of the stars.

the moon elevates
the night from darkness to
hypnotic light, bathes
the world in silver, flows
with our tears and our
softly spoken words,

transcends like lazarus
to a sky witnessed
through centuries,
loved and worn like
our favourite old clothes.

Dreamworld

It is a blend of here and there,
Nowhere and everywhere,
People, events and places,
A merger of familiar and strange faces,
A world distinct from the one we're in,
No heaven or hell, purity or sin,
Facts are distorted into fantasy,
A combination of myth and reality,
Where death does not exist,
A surreal kind of life will persist
And the dream world will then be gone,
When we wake from sleep at dawn.

Umbra

I name you Umbra, the thief of light
Imprisoned you are from whence you came
Nothing but darkness and most fearful night
Horrors define and crown your caliginous name

You sought light upon me, for you saw the sun, the stars, and the moon
In a second, these creatures were pilfered from my kingdom
Your darkness like epidemic grew
I was blinded by your color and you stole all hue.

For those of you who play Child of Light, this poem is inspired by it. I hope every poet in the world would take the opportunity to play the game.
