Upon the floor your feet,
Shuffle and shuffle to the beat.
Rosey smiles upon your face.
The happiest heart in the place.

Will you think of me when you dance?
I'm sure there's not a heavens chance.
I lie motionless all alone in my bed.
As visions of you put another gun to my head.

Never did I think you would leave me.
There wasn't a chance that you would be,
The horrible **** that you became.
You made our love seem so lame.

Cry not for my broken heart
For you have made me a part.
Of the dance I dance tonight
Oh but so soft as we take flight.

A fine line we dance in the dark
Careful not on a journey to embarque.
Deeper and deeper to keep the screams quite
Into the pillow we bury out of site.

Wrapping the wounds tighter than tight.
As the gentle flow, tries to win the fight.
Tonight was a little to deep
As through the cloth it seeps

Maybe
Tonight is the night
Aside the cloth I should throw
And not be afraid to go

Will you think of me when you dance?
It is of you my eyes shall be
As past this life I prance
And my God I see

Goodnight My Love
Marty Dec 2022
Goodnight My Love
Why did you call my name?
Did you not feel any shame?
You captured my heart
And wantonly tore me apart
  
You gave me all I want  
Now you are an evil haunt  
The *** was so Devine
You kept me in perfect line
  
Your name rang so sweet
Now it is my bitter defeat
I scream for you at night
Only demons come to sight
  
For my death tonight I pray
There is no reason to stay
A lonely dream that is best
To see the blood upon my chest
  
As my eyes I close
This is the path I chose
Memories I can't stand
Listen to the angels band
  
It is the flesh that I hate
In your arms I no more mate
Call not my name you *****
For the blood has begin to pour
  
They try so hard to save
But the minutes I shave
As the day draws nigh
Gather with a final sigh
  
In darkness cover my pain
For my life was not in vain
Torturous love only grows
When you realize that life froze
  
It is with closed eyes I smile
As my feet finish the last mile
Today I love her never again
For her heart I no longer contend

Whispering Pines
Marty Sep 2021
Darkness hides the widows song.
As the pines utter a sweet melody.
Burried deep neath the evergreens.
Hold fast the roots of dreams.

Mama cries, a song of songs!
As the world forgets who belongs.
Baby sighs, as the memory dies.
Submerged in a quaint bath of lies.

Oh but the mystery of dark.
Hidden as the devils embark.
Silent screams on deaf ears
As witness bears through the years.

From the darkness the soul creeps
As from the night, hope rings a peep.
Gentle, mumbling words stutter
For the truth will make you shutter.

Pleading words stab the heart.
From the bones tears depart.
Breathless gentle pleas.
Lost in ever deepening seas.

A final word upon rubber knees
Please! please! please!

Its 4 am
Marty Aug 2021
Its 4 am
The windows are locked
The doors are double locked
The hinges have been checked

Ive pulled the covers tight
Tighter and tighter till I can't
Breathe

Shhhh, hush not a sound!

And now I can't see?

Hush, please!

Where is it that they might be.
The fear is choking the life from me.

I'm awake I'm awake, in my bed
In my bed I quake. Feel it shake!

I scream to the windows.
I scream to the walls.
To one and all, I call
But silence upon there ears fall.

Can you not hear me?
Can you not hear?
From neath the marsh I call.
Soaked with their pain.
A permanent bloods stain.

I call, I fall.
I fall and I call
I scream and I gleam
But my eyes have lost their beam.

I CALL

I CALL

Screams
Marty Aug 2021
The evenings deafening silence
Surrendered by the screams
Passionately empty walls
Footprints exploring the halls

Darkness on middays' sun
As the tears rob the fun
Empty souls deeper in the well
Devils journey to a patient hell

Tears hidden by the smiles
Unforgettable tortuous miles
Rest not under the pine tree
To the undiscovered country flee

Fleeting kisses upon the brow
Friendship secretly disavowed
Lonely nights plea
As silence comes to be
Jul 2021 · 129
Never Ending Dream
Marty Jul 2021
Out of the darkness into my room.
Tip toe, tip toe, you did walk.
Not a sound, eerie did you come.
Thirst for my soul you embellished.

Upon my naked neck, chills gave.
Breathe upon the hairs of my soul,
Taunting my sleep, laughter cried.
Screech screech tiny voice whined.

Awake, awake sleep no more!
My eyes open not, fear lock closed.
Pillow drowning, at the hearts plea.
While wiggle not given, urge urge.

Frozen ice in your shallow veins.
Tempestuous smile upon the brow.
Avalanche of growls piercing night.
Breast torn open and heart taken.

Silence

Silence, silence gasp for something.
Hand, nor eye from heaven fell.
Mercy mercy upon my knees I lay.
Demons scavenge, cause not seen.

Morrow, where is thy mercy?
Weakened soul and redundancy.
Whilst in thy bed, sleep you have.
Where is thy empathy?

Soaked sheets tightly wrapped,
Embossed tears flood the night.
Upon my cheeks questions flow.
Where is thy mercy, where oh where?

A single night, visit not I plea.
Upon raw knees, head hung low.
Hands grasping at heavens skirt.
Tears departing the dry soul.

Silent Prayers
Marty Feb 2021
The girded ***** of the child,
Blessed by the mothers womb.
Upon the floor left piled,
Forever stranded, eternity's tomb.

Tireless feet across the floor roam,
Back and forth in the night.
Through the satin braids comb,
Praying for mystical sight.

Fear lingers into the sun so bright,
As darkness succumbs to day.
The morning doves take flight,
And the future here to stay.

Memories fade to blur,
As the child fights the crows.
Into the marsh the boats stir,
As the fogs mystery grows.

She takes the wind from the sails,
As the swamp swallows time.
And the wood receives its nails.
Hidden to blinded ears of crime
Jan 2021 · 452
Not Forgotten
Marty Jan 2021
Tiny wooden box.
Footprint on the rocks.
Whispers to the soul,
Long forgotten goal.

Where was I my friend?
When your life did end.
Hidden in the illusion,
Drowned in the demons confusion.

Be patient and open thy arms.
Soon I will return to your charms.
The path is dreaded and weary,
For of this world I'm found dreary.

Oh but the forgotten times
We were partners in crime.
The ragged heart searches
Remembering songs of churches.

The times in the hills
Buried by too many pills.
The happy dancing squills,
To this day my heart kills.

The day soon shall be,
By my side so much glee.
Let the dirt to the side move,
And from this world remove.
Jan 2021 · 79
VISITOR
Marty Jan 2021
Is that you by my bed?
Or is just demons in my head?
Is it darkness that blinds?
Or is it my legs intertwined?

The shadow crossed my feet.
Another world about to meet.
The cover ripped from my soul,
As darkness brings another hole.

Wrinkled sheets curse the night,
As demons enter my sight.
Not with the eye can I see,
But deep within my head they be.

Why can't they depart,
Leaving alone my heart.
The sun soon shall rise
The pillow pressed on my thighs.

I never asked you to come,
If only you would leave a crumb.
My heart to the demons I gave
As now it becomes a slave.

Mama's Prayers
Marty Jan 2021
Sweet little tiny droplet,
Hypnotic hue of scarlet.
Mama's blessings and tears
Brought forth mama's fears.

Enchanting passionate journey,
Haunted by the ground wormy.
Lingering nightly prayers,
Waisted on scuffed knees despair.

Endless rivers, midnight search,
Upon pillows, droplets perch.
Hunting for a ray of light,
Somewhere in the midst of night.

Frozen words marred by soft lips.
Screaming quitely in tiny drips.
Mama's prayer hidden in silence,
As the river forgets its guidance.
Jan 2021 · 72
Did You Not Hear?
Marty Jan 2021
My screams did you not hear?
They were meant for your ear!
Night after night I called your name.
Your heart thought it a game.

The pursed demons lips,
Wantonly followed scripts.
With each thunderous click.
The clock, my life it wicked.

My screams did you not hear?
Hands raised to heaven with a tear.
On my knees, I screamed your name.
But, you slept without shame.

On my walls they knocked.
I know my doors, I locked?
In my halls they creeped.
Around each corner i peeped.

My screams did you not hear?
Why must I yell so, in fear?
Did you not hear my closed lips.
Now they come from the crypts.

The whimpers in my sleep!
But never another peep.
Did you not hear my cries?
Forever now closed my eyes.

My screams did you not hear?
Jan 2021 · 81
Mamas Tears
Marty Jan 2021
Oh, sweet sweet child,
Rest your weary heart tonight.
For, the demons have compiled,
Little is left but the angels flight.

Upon mothers ***** sleep,
And lay your sweet little head.
In her arms cry not another peep,
For the sheep have crossed the bed.

Soaking the earth, tears have fell,
Woven into tomorrows pain,
Driven by a neverending well,
Hidden by yesterdays stain.

Sleepless nights, smothered dreams,
Pictures in the hall upon the wall.
Ripped apart by loves seams,
As the nightmares begin to crawl.

Mamas tears in a bed of fears.
Soaked sheets and worn floors.
Mamas tears in a book of years.
Drained from the closed doors
Jan 2021 · 154
Mirror mirror
Marty Jan 2021
Broken shards plastering time.
Nothing but pain left to rhyme.
Moments of life, left in death
Searching for the final breathe

Reflections depleted to a stain
As love is left emulating pain.
One more kiss upon the brow
As the tainted lips disavowed

Mornings dew and birds call
As the feet take to the long hall.
Brightest of lights, message sent
For the fools broken knees, bent.

Bitterness of sweetest taste.
Such an iglorious waste.
Kneel before, as they sing
Await the golden tones ring.
Jan 2021 · 113
Sweet Princess
Marty Jan 2021
From the depths of my heart,
Your trail of tears depart.
Scurrying to the grips of gravity
Devoured beneath the corpse of morality.

Your flowing crimson grips
Steal from the soul, tiny sips
Bequeth the torment of reality
Buried in the pages legality

Where is thy mercy, my queen
As darkness sets another routine
I bow before thy journey,
As the bowles embellish wormy

If and only may I,
Plead with you as you die
Bring me home to peace,
As the rivers begin to cease
Jan 2021 · 80
Baby's Screams
Marty Jan 2021
Baby's screams and silent tears.
Rooms filled with empty fears.
Deathly silence flooding the night.
Blackness of night obscuring sight.

The golden curse killing dreams.
As the world splits at the seams.
Falling deep into nothingness.
Little left, but the devils witness.

Baby's screams left unheard.
As the passion of love is deterred.
Baby's screams
And the glow of the beam.

Find your flowing bed.
Sturdied by the mysterious dead.
Child Stay your course.
And ride the winged horse
Jan 2021 · 95
Sweet Sweet Lies
Marty Jan 2021
What fools Lie is this?
Perched upon the devils kiss
Passionately hidden so deep
Upon the wicked lips did creep

Mockery of the gilded heart
As the limbs are ripped apart
Breathe by breathe in time
Death shall become the crime

Oh, sultry passion filled lips
From the blackened winds did sip
As life left the tattered sleeve
The lies only proved to deceive

Let the wind scatter it to and fro
For loves sails have been stowed
No story to be told
Never again shall he be bold
Dec 2020 · 66
What would it be?
Marty Dec 2020
What would it be?
If the rivers failed to flow to the sea.
What would it be?
If my reflecrion dared to look back at me.

What would it be?
To gaze through the glass door.
What would it be?
To see the blood upon the floor.

Oh but the words.
The wicked wicked screaming words
Oh but the words.
Departing on the back of wingless birds.

Oh but the words.
Marring the walls of the blackened soul.
Oh but the words.
Pressing the light from the darkened hole.

Devour the day.
For my feet shall not come play.
Sweetly devour the day.
For after morrow night shall come to stay
Nov 2019 · 128
Devils Play
Marty Nov 2019
Perilous dictation
Hammering the strings of consequence

Devils lullaby
Singing a song to never be written again

Deafened ears
Screaming for a peaceful rhythm

Beg, beg no more
For tomorrow shall never see today
Keep the applause to a dull roar
For an ovation shall not honor the pleas.

As the lights dim
And the curtains close
Gather your gaze to yesterday
For tomorrows answer cant be found today
Dec 2018 · 353
Tomorrow
Marty Dec 2018
Upon the satin clouds
Rivers of black parch the night.
Rainbows fade into shadows
And the moon becomes caustic

Thirteen moons break the back
As the ground wonders about.
Tiny lakes tell a tale
And the ears hear not

What shall the owl cry?
As the crevices fill with salt
What shall the ravens devour?
As the grass grows green

How shall the pages be turned?
No story for the words to tell.
Will the tree remember the broken branch?
As the leaves fail to grow.

Will the dirt whisper to the stones?
Or shall they scream at the worms?
What shall my name become?
As tomorrow curses today
Dec 2018 · 349
Creepy
Marty Dec 2018
Sweetest of reds
Taunting the child
Such creepy innocence
Stealing the light

Pirouetting down the promenade
Beckoning evil, silently screaming.
Torturing the curiosity
Offering imminent death.

Hilarious paint
Over the creepy soul
Gnarling teeth and an evil heart
Scouring the refuse for the lost

Conquiring the night
Infailable fear of the day
Dont be afraid to come and play
For evil is here to stay
Dec 2018 · 202
Salacious
Marty Dec 2018
Oh lucious demons
Plastering salacious desires
Enticing the soul
Binding the darkest hour

Twisted sheets
Tangled around my soul
Mocking heavens journey
With demons delight.

Fingertips Salaciously tickling
Tender hearts strings
Pleading for a moments light
Gasping for another breathe

Passion embedded
Tiniest of thoughts
Pondering not mornings light
As the night fades to perfection.
Nov 2018 · 155
I love you
Marty Nov 2018
Pretentious words.
Mocking the soul.
Scattering the heart.
Knocking at hells gate.

Sweetest words upon the lips.
Glorious bird song upon the heart.
Tomorrows that transcend time.
Yet, halos circumvent the demon's horns.

Angelic heart dreaming in the stars.
With crimson paint upon the walls
Broken hearts and fresh earth,
As the sun stops time.

Oh trio of words
Why did you tease my soul.
And fuel the burning flames.
I LOVE YOU????
Nov 2018 · 163
Chains
Marty Nov 2018
Cumbersome and heavy,
Lying in unorganized piles.
Scattered around the fools bedside.
Keeping out those who dare to enter.

Dreary chains of love.
Mincing the amorous nights,
And foolishly obliterating sweet goodnights.
Replaced by darkness and shadows delight.

Demons mockery, fed by soot covered pots.
Shadows mist, teasing the flames.
As the night sheds its cloak.
And the cool breeze singes the tear soaked filters.

Gasping, groping for an ounce of something,
Pulling at the chains, hugging them tightly.
Praying for morns light,
While embracing the love of cold, cold steel
If only we could shed the pain that past loves blessed our hearts with maybe just maybe we could move forward.
Oct 2018 · 167
Tombstone Mentality
Marty Oct 2018
As the waning sun rises,
The darkness creeps in.
Gathering the wings from the soul,
Smothering the love with foul dirt.

The stench of the mornings dew,
Reminds the heart of imminent hell.
If only the grave would be so kind,
As to smother the dying flame.

Dreams begging for the reality,
The reality of a name left for all time.
Written in stone for all to see.
Left for the birds to perch upon.

Dreams of sleep so sweet.
A dream without the agony of love.
Fairytales dying at the shovels tip.
As the last teardrop falls.

Falter not oh dark shadow,
For your friendship I have accepted.
Let your robe protect my soul,
From the tyranny of love.
Oct 2018 · 175
Blackened Mirror
Marty Oct 2018
Dreams of love, reflecting life.
Imaginary lies of a blackened mirror,
Promising fairy tales and forever
For the stricken fools heart.

Anger and disappointment,
Casting the looking glass.
Upon the floor perfect dreams
Scatter to the wind, thousands of shards.

Painful, broken memories
Piercing an angels feet.
Fallacies and wishes draining the life,
A broken dream at a time.

"If only", and "what if" mock the night.
Her happiness, not from love's spell.
As the tears drown the blood.
And the blood reminds the heart.

The enchanted heart dreams of its it mate.
As its mate longs for another's lies.
Walking to and fro upon the bed of glass,
Self made lies adorn the mornings glimmer.

As the remaining love and final prayer leave.
The weakend soul dies one last time.
A final farewell, as time forbids
And the lights fades one final time.

Merdemon
Marty Oct 2018
Ice cold river,
Burning a path through her veins
Branding a mark on the soul.
Eternity stolen by her eyes.

Heartless demon scouring the seas
Gnawing at the sailors flesh.
Silent screams begging,
Pleading for an ounce of love.

Only crumbs from the table,
Fell from where the family ate.
Little hope could be felt
As bones crumbled to dust.

Silently screaming, mercies' cry,
As the day drags to night.
Not a peep, not a crack or crevice.
As her armour shines through the night.
Oct 2018 · 231
Mended Heart
Marty Oct 2018
My heart breaks for the tears
The tears you shed through the years


My soul despises the pain
That left such an inglorious stain


The demons may have become an integral part
But, now is the time to remove them from your heart

A special heart  can share
If your soul you dare to bare

But be not afraid my friend
For this is no where near the end

Joy is only around the bend
For the stars have made sure you will mend
Sep 2018 · 186
Death
Marty Sep 2018
How many more hours shall I search?

For thee

How many more pleas shall I send?

Upon my knees

Why is your stain not upon my door?

As my screams beg

Where are you tonight?

Oh

Death bless me with thy mercy.

And quench the candles light
Sep 2018 · 600
Can You Love Me
Marty Sep 2018
Oh but the pain
Loving the unwilling heart.

Lonliness captures the night
As the mirror reflects not.

Endless days
Captivated with darkness

Peering into the empty eyes
Of a love darkened soul.
Love can create such a dark shadow over someone's soul that they arent able to love even when they meet the perfect partner.
Aug 2018 · 325
Love
Marty Aug 2018
Dry broken lips
Squelching for the words
To fill the minds soul
With peace and love

Glorious sunrises
Emparting life
Gracing a tortured soul
With mercy and hope

Jumping boldly
Playfully splashing
No fear, no shame, no guilt
Only childish dreams

Dreams, searching
For one moment of hope
Passion filling the lungs
With the first breathe of life

LOVE

FOREVER

AND EVER
Aug 2018 · 184
Silence
Marty Aug 2018
Silence
As an angel falls

From heaven,
Into broken arms
Captured,
With love and immortal embrace

Gentle spirits
Guided by darkness
Now endowed by loves light
Paved roads of the widows sight

Rocking back and forth
As the days sway by
Memories searching for forgiveness
As the dust crumbles beneath

Gentle old hands
Weathered and torn
Anxious for the morning light
As love gathers another day.
Aug 2018 · 167
Dry Pockets
Marty Aug 2018
**** the tears that burnt a hole in my soul.
**** the years that took away my youth.

To hell with tomorrow, and the days to come
Leaving it all on the sheets tonight.

***** the pain and the agony you dumped on me.
Going to obliterate the nightmares at satan's feet.

Keep your rivers in your dry pockets.
Moisten not the skies with your writings,
For it never mattered more than…..

Oceans of Green
Marty Jul 2018
From the heavens a star fell.
Fell upon my lap.
Glorious gift from God
Perfection in my arms

Pristine oceans of green
Mesmerizing the nights air.
Captivating the heart
The heart of the ravaged soul.

Sweet melody of the wind
Pirouetting down the Angel's wings.
Such a beautiful melodic voice
Ringing melodies into the night.

Kisses blessed by the stars
As rain sweetens the passion
Lost, lost in a moment
Eternal bliss parading at the finger tips
Jul 2018 · 490
Dancing in the Rain
Marty Jul 2018
Have you ever danced in the rain?
Gazing a thousand miles into the soul of the one in your arms.
Forgetting the day, and living in the moment as your bodies become one.
Surrounded by no more then an eternal memory.
No music, no sounds except the beating of our hearts.
Each drop of rain washing away the world around us.
Each drop giving birth to a new page and a new chapter of love and ecstasy.
Silly moments of passion flooding a new love with glorious
heartfelt desires.
Jul 2018 · 289
Chains
Marty Jul 2018
Chains around my wings
Chains lining the soul of my heart
Clouds taking the shape
The shape of chains

The future tied
Tied by the chains
The past drug along
Drug by the chains

Wretched ungodly beasts
Wrapped around my neck
Choking the wind
And robbing the smile

When shall you let me breathe
Breathe the life
The life back into my lungs
Returning life after death
Jul 2018 · 252
Make it rain on me
Marty Jul 2018
Make it rain,
Make it rain your love
Till I'm feeling no pain.
A little slice of heaven from above

Make it rain,
Make it rain happiness
Till in your arms I belong
Angel's wings spreading your love

Make it rain,
Make it rain your **** smile
Till at home I feel
Make it rain, make it rain you
Jul 2018 · 323
Lonliness
Marty Jul 2018
Ungreased wheels on my chair,
No one to push,no one to pull,
Rolling, struggling to get out of the room
A room with no light and no direction.

A room with no floors,
Only heavy rains seeping into the ground
Fighting to pull the wheels, another round,
Stuck in the clingy clay swamps

No sounds, but the beating of the heart.
Deafening, piercing the drums with screams.
Thousands upon thousands of voices
Taunting and teasing but no one in sight

Oddity of friends gather round.
Droplets of blood running down the arm
Each gaining it's own name.
Razors become an invite to friendship

A bug in the corner, a man that doesnt exist.
Friends long sense gone
And notes left to yourself.
Become a ray of hope,  but nothing more.

Mornings light mocks the soul
A reminder that no one is here.
Courage and cowardice go hand in hand
As the blade sends the rsvp
Jul 2018 · 220
Tempestuous Smile
Marty Jul 2018
Blood stained cards
And
Crispy brown rose petals
Line the floor of the morbid crypt

Picture perfect memories
Tile the path
With the evenings hell
Wound around forgotten promises.

Crimson soaked tools
Marks left in the Angel's wings.
Death
And imprisonment await.

Prayers and pleas
Resentment for the mornings light.
Rivers of torment
Dreamers swim for shore

Curse the day
And
Torch the night owl
Hell soothes the soul with fire.

Happiness found
At the razors edge
Perched upon deaths sword
Mortal rivers drown the smile
Jul 2018 · 268
The key
Marty Jul 2018
Over and over,I searched the house.
Looking in all the drawers.
Searching under the couch
Removing the cushions.

I went through the laundry
And took it all out of the closet.
I looked under all the mats,
And searched all the high shelves.

I searched each room in desperation.
Shed tear after tear knowing all was lost.
I called friends and family
Even looked in the dogs bed.

I had all but given up when I knew
I knew I had one last chance.
So if you would
And if you could

Please tell me where you put the key.
The chain is smothering each breathe.
The lock has become so heavy.
And no one has been able to remove it.

I want so bad to give my heart to others.
But, you hid the key.
Why would you do that to me.
Why cant you let me be free.
Jul 2018 · 191
Acidic tears
Marty Jul 2018
Upon my cheeks
For the world to see.
Debossed deeply
Agony and weariness
Linger in the dry rivers.

Endless nights
No sleep in sight
Heart knockin on deaths door
Mornings light
Evils terrifying fright.

Burning a path
In loves aftermath
Torture defined by wrath
Spelling out demons path
Washed in the ****** bath.

Pillows soaked in tears
Releasing nightly fears
Sheets devided by daggers and spears
Stacked upon satan's piers
As the glorious end nears.

Happiness avails
As the nights air becomes stale
Love once again will fail
Open the daily mail
And receive the mornings hell
Jul 2018 · 274
Crazy Bird
Marty Jul 2018
As the sun arose today
I sat upon the grass
The grass so green.

The breeze blew so gentle
I looked up in the sky
The sky so blue

There was an odd bird
Backwards he flew
Flew from whence he came.

For a moment I watched
I watched in dismay
As backward he flew.

From the old bird
An answer I pleaded
Tell me tell me please

Why is it backward you fly?
How will you ever get where you going?
If backward you fly.

Rain showers falling from the sky.
Created from the tears he cried.
Out of breathe he bravely answered.

Down there upon the ground
Trees and rocks bruise your path
And refuse your sight for tomorrow.

But, it is up here so high
So high above the world so cold
That I can see all that is about to be.

Again I asked the old bird
So, why is it backward you fly?
What has you so afraid of tomorrow?

He squawked, I have seen from where you came.
And I have seen where you are.
Yet it is what is ahead that frightens me.

The sun that comes,
Comes from the darkest corners.
Now is covered, covered in blood.

As backward from sight he flew.
His wings pleaded with the wind.
Take me back, back to the happiness I knew.

As I sat upon the grass.
The grass so green.
All was…….

Apologies my friend

It has been a while
I'm sure you thought
I had found a different style.

You are back in my arms again
I know you thought I was gone.
But time made sure love was slain.

Memories of her
Plaguing my mind
Have made my speech slur.

Forgive me and find your way,
Search deep and make your home
This time your edge is here to stay.

It will be our little secret path
This time no one will know
Of the internal wrath.

Make your mark for those to see
Let them know what is in me
Your pain will bring me such glee.

Forgive my time away
Never will I let you down
Because I no longer want to stay

Do we cry together
Marty Jun 2018
Why must I sit here in this bed?
Believing that we cry together.
Miles and miles between us yet,
I believe that the rivers that I shed
will meet the rivers that you shed.

Why must I believe that you care?
Why should I even dream?
Dream a dream that you dream,
A dream of me.

Yet night after night
I sleep upon the ****** pool
Amassed by the razors edge.
As my friends taunt me and tease me.

Do you dream the dreams I dream?
As you lie in his arms.
Is it the love I showed you?
That brings you back to my arms each night.

I know you dream no more
Your heart no longer feels the feelings
The feelings of love I had for you.
As my soul loved your soul.

My only love now
Is the love of pain
Pain has become my life
And mortal wound shall set me free

Passion
Marty Jun 2018
Darkened room
Dimly lit candle
Flickering to the beat
The beat of the nights love

Gentle soft breathe
Pulled passionately
Softly
Across the neck

Tingling touch
Upon the hips
Shivers down the spine
Uncontrollable twitches

Joined,
Deeply,
Sweating and moaning
Breathing as one.

Painful pleasure
Locks pulled so tight.
Gentle ecstasy
Mmmmmm

Reaching for…….
Again shes gone
Empty arms
Love is dead..
Night after night you dream of someone in your arms only to feel the loneliness of hugging pillows and air.

Value
Marty Jun 2018
Is it the fools penny?
Or is it the debutantes dollar?

Could it be the tears shed?
Shed from a heart of love

Maybe the fancy gems
Or the shiny toys?

Surely it was the tiny acts
The acts of love and compassion.

Was it the fool on the steed?
Believing he could ever be enough.

If none of these?
Then nothing could ever please.

Describe the value of a fool in love.
Was it not enough to promise death for life?

Claw the eyes from the beast.
Rake the ***** clean of flesh.

Crawl through the mire and muck
Meander the path through hells journey.

The value has been decided by those that received
Decided when they said goodbye.

Written in stone
Marty Jun 2018
On a hot summers day,
Happiness refused to play.
I sat alone in the dark.
Remnants of love left its mark.


As from the shadows I gazed,
The lonely heart was left amazed.
Tear soaked knees struggled with the name.
Why did he have to leave the game?


I screamed and I cried,
Once again it felt like I died.
Please! hold me! Dont leave me here!
As my reddened eyes shed a tear.

Written in stone, memories of yesteryear.
Unanswered questions forgotten in tears.
Trodden paths wallowed in the grass.
Memories forgotten as times pass.

How many days should the soul torment?
As the agony continues to ferment.
As one after the other they come by.
Screams are silenced with a gentle sigh.

As before, I reached out my arms.
But, no one saw any harm.
Each name I screamed intently
From my company they parted innocently

Breathe still filled my rotten lung
Even though the final bell had been rung.
Please do not leave, for the air becomes so sour
shortly after the visiting hour.

Transformation
Marty May 2018
People have a habit of becoming what you encourage them to be, not what you may want them to be.
Just a quote that ate my brain for a while. Though i would share it to confuse everyone as it did me.

Hidden Treasure
Marty May 2018
Screams of steel,
Parting the night air
Like a ghost ship
And the mornings fog.

Dead man's gold,
Buried below,
Hidden, a waiting
The razors bounty

Blood shed,
Arms holding the hope
One more passionate cut
And the treasures home.

Dig, for the course,
Shall show the light,
The lighted path
As the blood flows

Love is forgotten,
As the blade makes its home
Deeper and deeper,
The cuts become.

When shall the pain die?
Is it when the pain becomes
Becomes too strong?
Or, when the flow stops?
Pain invites the cuts, now the cuts only beg for more cuts. What is this belief that they will cure my pain? Why is the lie so strong? Why can I not just accept life was not made for happiness.

Intertwined
Marty Apr 2018
Alone I shall be,
But alone will not grant me peace.
In the dark many shall come,
Comfort, the least of their desires.

Memories they will flood,
Pain and anguish, limits of sanity
Hand in hand desperate journeys.
Little room for else do they leave.

Unreasonable ventures to the depths.
Journeys to the minds soul.
Forgotten friend lost in the storm.
What path his heart has taken?

Happiness and sadness
Closest of friends for eternity
Each day shall be the last
But no end shall ever bless.

Evil spell casting lots
Spoken words and deep thoughts
Price paid in blood
Happiness finally bought.
