Sparkling moonlight
As beautiful as dawn
In the golden gate
I gaze upon the heavens
Dissecting every star
Every galaxy
And celestial body
Every planet and 
Every solar system

I see within
Life
I see death
I see
You and me
But most importantly
I see nothing
For within nothing
Lies beauty
And peace
Robert Purvis May 2011
Sweet kiss of the steel
Searing
And endearing

Sliding
Gliding
And biting

Blood loss?
There's no cost
I got plenty to spare
Just like the air

What about self harm?
It ain't without it's charm
Just ignore the marks...on my arm
Robert Purvis May 2011
It's 4 am
Insomnia glows faintly
Like a phosphorescent
Jellyfish

Creeping down
Drifting in
It encloses you

Its poison
Burns
As do your eyes

Paralyzed yet
Conscious

Too tired
To fight it
To awake
To drift with it

Through the veil
Pain flares
Like a volcanic spout

Brain screams
Nothing but
Muffled screams
In the oceanic deep
Of your pillow
Robert Purvis May 2011
The velvet lady
seductive
elusive
Feel the sweet embrace
Incredible and passionate
Crave her sweet romance

Surrender your heart
And be
Forever entwined
Robert Purvis May 2011
Confess these newfound talks
Dreary verbal dance
Realize the illusion
Of interest

Whisper, without engulfing
The conversation
Hesitate only for desire

A conversation of eternity
Robert Purvis Apr 2011
The world whizzing by
I cant help but sigh...

Everyone speeding
I'm not even seeing

The human soul
what was your goal?

You finished the race
You never set a pace

And now you're gone
As well as the dawn

Left alone with nightfall
No one to answer my call

Its better this way
don't worry I'll be ok....
Robert Purvis Apr 2011
Consider if you will
The bill

The cost of all actions
every actions reactions

The value of your life
is dependent on:
reactions > actions

They say actions speak louder than words
That the pen is mightier than the sword
To me:
the sword = actions
pen = words

I aim to make
my pen = my swords
and let my mighty pen ROAR
so that my actions are Pure

Consider If You Will
