I have
   big dreams

        and a  
            realistic mind.

You
     can
  only
         imagine
               the
  frustration.
Gets the best of me some times.

Bed of Wolves
 May 2014 Chloe
Devin
Slain wolves line the sheets
The sheets strewn across the bed in which we lay
Their disheveled state matters little to us.

With my head upon his chest I listen his heart
The sound sends shivers to the very corners of my being,
if only I could listen forever.

I look up and gaze upon his perfect features
I can only admire his angelic lines , his blazing smile ,
and the beauty of the sparkle in his eyes.

I lean in , our lips meet
Control and restraint become meaningless
We embrace
There we lay chest to chest
Face to face.

In an anarchic mix of love, lust and passion
It began
Passion flowed freely
And our bodies moved as one
The waves of pleasure ravaged us
and we were left clutching onto mere scraps of oxygen.

I gazed upon him and watched as the sweat on his back
became prism-like
Splitting and shattering light
into my all to dark eyes.

Our light turns to shade
And nothing can compare to the love we've made.

We lay now
and close our eyes
as we are enveloped by silence
and everything fades into pure nothingness. . .
I was inspired to write this by a scene from the series Game of Thrones. Please interpret it in your own way if you do take the time to read it. Please don't judge me.

I see lovers
holding hands and giving each other the look that can only be described as
"the look"
because only those who are out of love are bitterly aware of the sickeningly admiring gaze that one partner gives to the other when they speak  
and only those who are in love are oblivious to the fact that they are giving the look

And I see friends,
friends in love with friendship
friends in love with being with each other
in love with the adventure and the memories
and the comfort and familiarity that comes with knowing each other like the back of your hand

I see individuals
completely, and utterly in love with themselves
the kind of arrogance that is almost admirable
in love with their passion,  their ambition
with their goals and their futures
in love with the potential they know they have and in love with the hope that maybe one day,
they'll be an All-Star
or a politician
or a beautiful poet
or a parent

I see all of these people who are in love and I wonder, are these people really as in love as they claim to be?

And if so, when is it my turn to be in love?

step this side..
no, you.. that side!
in a line, in a line.. quiet now – get ready for fire.. no miss!
please line up the children in neat rows, get them ready…………………..


1.
eyes are misted over – something happened in the gap
hooking-up strangely with estranged sons lost in custodial-wrangles
alienated values;
family-core defunct like a super-shiny apple with putrescent-flesh
long-beard wants a son after so many daughters, sits unwashed in the smoke
gender-penalty –  sorry, sister.. you chose the wrong straw
you remain in that cage till we say come out


2.
bread-basket filled with stealth-grenades
rights and benefits squirm in slick-oil of rules
peasant skirting the limits of the city; even rats fare better
cloak of goat-skin, the shield hides serpents beneath
the hunter will aim for the head, land in the centre..
                           yet an inch or two too high
sentry, close the gates and bar the window-frames!


3.
inadvertent greed and control; aggressive power
news-man dies for feed that’s untrue, anyway
picture-man twists an image to suit the viewer
all kinds of lines disappear so quick – ******, jokes, theatre, life, even poems
and if you’ve never had the sad combo of sick and homeless,
                                                                ­           famished and cold,
                                                                ­           tired with sores
oh, war will be courteous enough to bring you all these, *on a platter

and more..



there is no border when we all roam in hunger and in fear
like the orphans in crowded-camps
high-rankers sit far away.. ominously "well-off"
                                               chew on hard-cheese
                                               gulp down red wine
but the throat still feels parched, and that bayonet is too short
its fear will kick in.. on a day least anticipated
would you be shocked if it is a child who will drive that wedge-stick home?

oh, politrix, politrix….man, we're messing up this globe!

something amiss in the vision.. all so acquisitive -- my land, my car, my this, my that.. aahh, we miss the grand pic of all ---------- OUR Earth??
nay, friend.. we must leave here, in any case, one day.. what and how we do here, is the grand-query!


sub-entry: mess-up
always mess up things
with that big mouth - shudup!

slender words pressed flat in the expression add water or tears for that matter   and complete the  circle.condensed is expanded as pain.gains structure. Reality. In all  dimensions.
Stroke of the pen
Will of  the wisp.
Stiletto   thrusts  keenly   then leaves wounded flesh to grieve in silence.  SIXPENSE  for my pain.   Valueless darling you..

Days  late and millions short.cervical stenosis  devalues  hindsight.
Disabled  in foresight.
Cant look left nor right we carry on.

Seán Mac Falls
Rising guano smokes the white birds.
The North winds homing, ave, a long
Besieging sea and ferries the prince
Of waves pass pacific and the fair isles.
With javelin eyes, aloft, blue streaks

The seething air, headlands draft
Grave embattlements, red rivulets
Paint on the raining wing, black art
Ticks the tern, marked minions and more
Dread.  Once you were a foundling

Dropped from sovereign doons, scree
Of sky, air of wizard, your image late
Spikes from the lake, taut talons train,
Your breast a speckled main, rapier
Of dreams, arisen, sheathed in stone.

In the frosts of autumn, leaves do tell
In storied colours, yellow and red,
Round the shores your kingdoms table,
Battle cries break, a silence of wails,
Though they fall they shall burn again.
