Close my mouth and cover the truth from my eyes, hide your razor teeth behind grinning lips. Crack the liar's smile and walk on for miles in false innocence. Across the backs of fallen kings and heros who failed you, unseen. The lions of yesterday who bled for you where you tread uncaring in your timeless beauty...

I saw a white dove
Upon a white fence
I pondered upon this
And what it might have meant

While down below
Alone in the white snow
A white rabbit was born
Looking somewhat forlorn

I knew I saw them
I could have sworn
And more flakes fell
On the ground to adorn

It painted quite the picture
I must say I’m enthralled
But thinking about it now
Perhaps I saw nothing at all

I am the tool, dripping with the blood of innocence, the sword in the arm of unreasonable men, committing atrocities in the name of righteousness. Expected to show no emotions, stone faced, marching on, mouth closed in silent obedience. Left to my quiet insight, where I have become the spear that pierces Christ, while you sit there complaining about your self-proclaimed civil rights. Doing for those who can’t do what I’m told must be done. With battle cries and muzzle flash from the barrel of my gun. And one by one, these booted feet crush the sand. Until I stand under a hot sun, a man with his brow creased, watching countries fight for so called peace in their fear of the Middle East. And this is their answer, spending more money on war, while children in Africa die of famine ignored and UN inspectors with blind eyes, examine the solution to these problems galore. These solutions we don't see in our judgemental haste are the answers which might as well be floating in outer space. Why can't we see it when it's right in front of our face! Dear God help us, for we are the human race.
This poem is the revised product of what I posted earlier today, forgive my haste but I wrote quickly to get the idea out before I forgot it.

Steal my hopes, steal my dreams. Set me adrift with sails aflame in broken glass seas. Burn me down sweetly, gently break my bones, cut me in kindness just don't leave me alone. Tear this flesh, strip it from its home, just don't leave me alone, just don't leave me alone...

Toll the bell tower and chime the hour of night
The touching hands that fingers laced embrace
Locked in a lovers hungry kiss undenied
Slake the thirst to sated lips
Unread hearts
To undying love
Burning cold as fire
Under a dancing moon
Among a chorus of clouds
Over a feast of flesh caressing...
Just a random thought....

You chose the long road where I'll be waiting. You walked on forever as if time were nothing. Arrived late to find me there wanting, eyes wet, weeping. Endless days spent on a dead end street seeking. So determined was I to find something, blind eyes peeking, when you never promised forever as you approached and became my everything...

Sail the ship of want through the shimmering sea of sand, the lonely expanse that leads to nothing, going nowhere hand in hand. The Captain calls to crewless timbers, the empty decks the fractured hearts remember, and the path is shown in a star's burning embers, churning crimson where we stand.
