Porter Dec 2013
heavy timber fall
crushing mammoth stone

circle crumbles still
regret in living bone

air a crackling cage
a rack holding tight

guilt the thorny blanket
gripping iron might

where’s the other hope
started that same day

we ate their dreams
swept them all away

rows and rows of decadence
chocolate covered dreams

gold and purple velvet
exotic coffee steams

haute coutre on sterling racks
staffed by aphrodite

cherry blossoms in the air
art to serve the mighty

gilded goblets fat with rubies
thick potions to control

ivory pipes on opal stands
pink smoke from their bowls

mahogany and marble
amber glass aglow

tinkling diamond chandeliers
funiture art nouveau

elixirs and magic rings
magenta fire in a jar

thick and heavy gold
tiffany eggs for the czar

pastel parisian cakes
hand stitched italian shoes

hornback crocodile leather
master barbers fine shampoos

bespoke tailor in a corner
adonis with fine liqueur

any delicacy or art
for any type connoisseur

richly wrapped and waiting
your opulent desires

soak them drink them in
bask in their fires

all priceless things
based on human lies

worth less than dust
compared to love in
someone’s eyes

did you see a star
did you touch a flower

did you taste the rain
did you hide and glower

every path you found
every step you make

was a journey here
not a blind mistake

go as one again
ever when you roam

then no matter where
you’ll always be at home

siren
Porter Jan 2014
she flies across the tundra
her song is in the trees

her hair leaves the stars
her kiss is on the breeze

something never seen
something only felt

feel her rain at night
despair and shadow melt

hold her when you walk
caress her gentle wind

her touch is velvet hope
like none have ever sinned

sleep now with the moon
and silver starlight beams

she's waiting in your heart
and dancing in your dreams

sometimes at night there’s music
drifting from the wood

a dusty wedding dress
a room misunderstood

once a merry crowd
laughter in the halls

now the cobwebs dance
vermin through her crawls

she sits and watches time
creaks with the wind

things so slowly crumble
air so sweet has thinned

so fast the rolling years
dreams if she only could, but

sometimes at night there’s music
drifting from the wood

black the soul rides these bones
evil ember crust

silver charm and laughter
cloak a seething lust

a wonder quite the spectre
makes a home inside

rips the love to crumbs
grips the heart to ride

used to be a shining thing
smiling happy spark

now there prowls a killer
home is in the dark

Porter Dec 2013
light was there for a time
sunny golden bright

cruel frost now bites and
blows the crackling blight

hope lives in children’s eyes
never to escape

life will crush the sparkle
from the glimmer scrape

show me joy you angel
how beautifully you ignore

was the light a mace
to lash the devil’s *****

grasp the empty now
feel the ice embrace

scream now in fire
have no need of grace

burning moments fly
slaves of tick and tock

minutes into years
raging ravenous clock

always infernal ticking
a demon in your ear

if only there was time
lose another year

every passing tick
hunger will it grow

what you could've done
none will ever know

countdown has begun
youth has run away

there's no cure for time
life is in the way

sharply crack and crumble
fall and shatter loud

shred the drape and curtain
tear away the shroud

grip this mind and squeeze
wring it with your claws

hold it with your teeth
crush it with your jaws

pump it with concoctions
shock it with delight

there's no door for madness
only carnival at night

fields are dry now.
air coarse with
echoes of husks
scratching in
a breeze of fire.

peeling crackle
mocks love that
for a time created
lushness.
the bursting
laughter of the earth
scorched to ****
and bone.

rhythmic creak of
wood underneath
was a simple thing.
the sky was pink
and then his eyes
saw nothing.

graceful the cold grey dust
lightly does it fall

first the fire wrapped it
then silence took it all

peaceful is the nothing
no reason care of how

things that ever mattered
worthless black wind now

marvel at the nothing
no hope to dash or ****

no happy sad or wanting
no silly wish to fill

embrace now nothing
laughing in this fire

how beautiful the nothing
how perfect the desire

like the sunlight dances
sparkling on a stream

there was a magic thing
we made it in a dream

life a crack of thunder
a mirage our bouquet

it dances on the wind
we blew it all away

Porter Dec 2013
will you be a tumbleweed
or have roots so strong

will the wind control you
will you stay for long

lasting is a treasure
not uncommon fling

have a heart or not
not a passing thing

always will there be
constant place for you

when your ride is over
when your tumble through

bring back a star
something shiny bright

or hang it in the window
flying past at night

this black sea I sail
jolly flag at mast

board here at your peril
there’s no soul to last

only wind and spray
davey jones and I

crack your sparkling dreams
make a demon cry

dashing at the wheel
ever tho I be

hides the squall inside
the heartless hole in me

if I care a wit
send you on your way

know there is no love
those that wish to stay

only cutlass flashing
a dream to never be

only me and nothing
on this endless sea

urn
first it’s just a whisper
a scratching at your ear

then a quiet rumble
traveller drawing near

something asks for you
if you wouldn’t mind

things you’ve spent are due
we’re trying to be kind

nothing is so lonely
lick the icy shiver

now you understand
there’s nothing in
the mirror

a desert without sand
lonely they must be

twisted burning crust of
the thing they used to be

seething tongues of blood
squeaks that cut like briars

tortured by themselves
our gnashing little liars

it’s only love they need
a bucket want of fill

caress them with
a rusted blade

head thumping
down the hill

throat you rip is mine
princess of the day

ever gushing viper
stabbing things astray

walk the black you pave
with your shining lies

you will ride the post
impaled and harbor flies

did it all for daddy
found the perfect one

watch you priss in fire
see your glowing fun

hair that grips so nicely
blouse with designer tag

will have to use my foot
to stuff you in this bag

find me sleep and take me
to the place I want to go

no sadness depth of missing
crushing tales of woe

thunder past the stars
silver dust across your eye

rain the dreams of everlast
where steeds of diamond fly

if the dark should keep me
just know i found my place

i’m back where I belong
a dancing smile on her face

i see you now oynx hair
watch the dark and sway

stars have flown the after
you bring another day

hope that strokes so softly
years that slip so fast

where’s the dream i had
where’s the things that last

a night a day a month a year
whispers in the wind

lashed to time of fire
burning while he grinned

hold me now and tighten
free me with your grasp

i can fade the world
love you with a gasp

light so ever glisten
cold wind forever blow

frosted ridge and river
trees will only know

walk now in my beauty
breathe my seasons change

my peaceful is deceiving
behold my thunderous range

whatever you became

listen to my leaves
I remain the same

her
we stole some moments once
we turned our blacks to grey

we shared a certain thing
but we never had to say

blink and the moments fly
we love a world apart

but we built these tiny memories
and they still paint my heart

free
Porter Dec 2013
thunder rumbles threatening
lightning flashes high

she screams and rips the clouds
we travel through the sky

wonder if it matters
the air we seem to crave

no longer as we fly
nothing left to save

if you hear a shadow
a chill and don’t know why

it’s the answer only silent
and only passing by

breathe now my darling
the sun is setting fast

the things that fill your heart
were never meant to last

so hold the moment softly
kiss things you knew before

touch my hand again
no air matters anymore

just a minute, moment
tell us how to go

you come and steal our time
but no advice you show

your appetite is monstrous
ravenous never stop

will you eat a promise now
or make a bubble pop

will you change a life
or fill a heart with dread

could you be so kind
and ask us all instead

shining hopes and dreams
living in the sky

so grant a wish moment
next time you stop by

why hello mr reason
wow where have you been

i’ve searched half a life
and here you’re walking in

why are you here now
i’ve learned to live without

go back to where you were
i’m with my good friend doubt

oh you want to talk
funny you should say

always had some questions
to ask you one fine day

but now the time is gone
shame you came so late

i have other things now
no time to waste on fate
