Thick darkness envelops my days
suffocating my will with idleness.
The gloom of being weighs me down,
but I keep dreaming of fairy tale endings.

Pointing out
the truth.
Preaching
the future.

It's all for naught.
As words spoken
remain unheard.

Ignored you start showing.
Giving all you have.

But again
all is for naught.
As results
remain unseen.

So you keep toiling
silently hidden
unknown unseen
til the end.

Hold still for a moment.
  Appreciate that you are alive.
    Put away the distractions.
      Picture yourself
        Independent and free.
      Needing nothing
    Except yourself.
  Savor this inner peace as it
Shines through to the outside.

Beyond your own gloom.
Soulmates suffer silently.
There you find purpose.

Searching space and time.
Sparks igniting dry tinder.
To forge new future.

hallowing darkness
wordless psychedelic sounds
transcending my griefs

At her first touch,
the flesh scattered
into ethereal fragments,
unchaining an immortal soul.

First,
   you forgot me.
Later,
   you hurt me.
Now,
   you laugh about me.

But I forgive you.

I laugh with you
   now.
I will hurt you
   later.
I am going to forget you
   at last.

walk alone
be free and dream
heart and mind
open

My love is hard liquor.
Why are you still sober?

the sight,
like a constant surf,
broke my courage.
and all those silent words
drowned in the white spray
of her beauty.

You can't save the world,
but those closest to your heart
and yourself with it.

Love, essence of life.
Kind, patient and innocent.
Quest for a pure heart.

Once a year I time travel
10,000 miles back
to my childhood place.

Here I am still a little boy
enjoying his mother’s food.

It’s a museum of frozen memories.
Nothing changes except the
reflections in the mirrors.

I ignore the worries about
age and illness and relish
the time with those I love.

mama and papa
i long for your warm embrace
but you both passed on

makes us submissive.
prevents us taking action.
we can do better!

it’s breaking my heart
listening to the silence
of unfulfilled love

I found you.
Different. Imperfect.

A sad and sickly child
alone in a faceless world.

Bland with naïve thoughts
and clumsy manners.

I found you.
Alike. Perfect.

time flows eternal
a year coming to an end
leaving me behind

painful memories
encased in a troubled heart
waiting for rescue

Opinions silenced.
Words stigmatized and outlawed.
Know your thoughts are 'free’!

Barn swallows zigzag swiftly through the air
hunting for flies beneath a clear blue sky.
Cord grass shelters a little brown marsh hare
frozen by the buzzards long hissing cry.

She sleeps on a quilt sprawled out on the ground
while a light breeze caresses her white skin
and bright sun plays in tune to natures sound
fending off nightmares about horrid sin.

I watch all this from the shadow of hell
as my flesh rots in the dark earth below
and fat maggots feed on my oozing smell
churning meat until next winters cold snow.

Heaven, earth and hell are all intertwined,
but mortals are oblivious and blind.

She enters the room
like illuminating sun.
I freeze in the dark.

Among all this madness
there are those rare moments
which keep you going
in the hope for more.

when words are targets
the truth remains unspoken
and progress will stall

Dawn bares her glowing daughter.
Who kneels before you.

Moving
    slowly
up your ankles.

Traversing along two rivers
to search between your thighs
with her warm tender lips.

You tremble in your dreams
when she cups two little *******.

Then night falls
into a sea of flames
as she kisses
you awake.

Bury me
under a tree.

One with
green leaves
and pink
round blossoms.

One that grows
sweet red fruits
that feed
hungry mouths.

One that sparkles
in golden colors
until the first
winter arrives.

One which
rests in peace
covered by snow
until spring.

Bury me
under a tree
so I can live again.

And the wolves are watching
the lambs fight among themselves.

Buried below pillows
I sail from darkness
towards bright stars
rising behind weeping eyes.

Believing this love
is pool of eternal bliss.
Cold heartless teacher.

Oh, that sweet,
intoxicating feeling.

So, addictive
after one-time use.

I want it
I need it.

That adrenaline,
that dopamine.

You keep the drugs.
You control the dose.

I’m just a desperate ******
who’s in love with you.

The love we won
is so remote.  
The time has gone
since we wrote.

Pain concealed
behind pale hands.
A heart be healed
in distant lands.

Hear my plea
in simple rhyme.  
Words cross the sea
and mind no climb.

Ditch the knife
my love is true.
I give my life
for one with you.
