Awaiting my orders to stand down
I roll myself another roll-your-own
Mullein style ~ Amber whisps
Shared with the wind and soil

My orders never come
So the decision is made for me
Standing orders are ******* by physical limits
I fall asleep on my feet

I stand down
By sleeping while I stand

Tough job
This is zombie work
Why do we let the vampires
Drink our blood
Just like the kids in
Art school said they would

i got soul but I'm not a soldier

It flows through the air
Unabated by the time of the past
It whispers if you dare
To listen, but in its place
A dreaded affair
The flag at half mast
A soldier at heart, in evil's lair
Run in a haste
Because your mind is a lier
Life goes fast
So you better love it while it lasts
Because only seven things will
Never lie

SUCH WANTING
What was it like to taste me?
To feel the electric as it rippled down your spine.
The taste of an angel, a lady in waiting.
Would you like to live within my life?

Stains of black makeup ,ingrained on your pillow.
They also stained your broken heart.
For you never accepted you were worthy of my pretty love.
I can't believe I made you love me, but I did indeed.
You and I still stand together, but apart, for what we believe in.
You have exquisite ******* dear.
I taste better than whisky.
Much better than wine.

Here I perch as the kingfisher waits
Still waiting for my king to return.

Dressed in a white crushed velvet frock.
You in raven black.
It's been a couple of years now.
Do I still want you back?

I want to be happy
I really do
The sun is shining, the sky is blue
The air is crisp
There's a beautiful breeze
you can see the flowers growing from seed
Everything seems perfect
A wonderful scene
Let's get some popcorn, and chocolate ice cream
Walking down the boardwalk
Freeing my mind
What a wonderful life
I pray for mankind

You hacks wouldn't know
real poetry if it ****** you.
