"flamed" poems
*i always imagine you so very graceful through the masochists ordeal a god form of supplication seeing your face in love fascinated by shimmering kisses that hurt, yet please wet lips and sharp teeth   glamors that excite cold blade licks dragged across tender bellies naval buttocks and flexed toes stinging then radiating outwards wounds become lilies mouth ******* tremulous weeping kisses ecstatic cruelties blood glitter sacrifice your supplication love pangs i'm shaking apart over you your countenance a cascading dream moved to tears of adoration your  limitless yielding like surrenders caress an infinite communion with fragile limbs silky wrapped spools innerness of desire veiled in a shroud a faltering star that glistens crimson nymph of purgation ash volcanic cells en-flamed with tongues that bite subsumed in scented vapors a confection of **** and *** waves embrace ineffable shores passed the discontinuity of life   I have the most immense feeling of love for you am i not the saint death   quietly following you through life's labyrinth innocuous   waiting humbly in the wings i am all ache for you a vice of kisses a brief encounter that eats your sight and senses ushering you to immortal freedom a swooning garland of fire that enlivens the body electric a mist of molecules your tears intoxicate i am new life with in you budding embryo that consumes its mother for nourishment and saturates like dew drops   as it echoes through oblivion*

Echoes of Oblivion
Oh Generational gap, a cancer of to all mankind. The father of lack of communication between the young and the old. A difference brought about the tastes and values. The pain faced between young and aged but can’t be touched. It started by 1960’s the decades of revolutionary change. It cut across the world in values of *** religion and civil rights. The disease the emerged earned its self a name by social scientists. It then became “Generational Gap” I would love to quote a man of great thoughts, Alexis De Tocqueville, who commented that; “Among democratic nations, each generation is a new people” I have come to appreciate these words. When I walk down the streets noticing the rising incompatibility existing in our society Though I admire the old days when the old and young associated freely, working on the same farms Grandparents telling stories to their little ones; what a lovely society they had. With the invention of television and computers some families were bonded in communication While others live in agony especially the illiterate. The old desire different designs from the youth, whose trends change per living day of nakedness Young people prefer working in executive places like offices compared to the donkey farm work considered to be for the old Another cause of generational gap is decay in morals; the young people feel like they know everything and don’t like to be corrected thus taking information from old people as outdated, young people finding lots of hardships to great their elders In the field of music elders prefer oldies and more preferably educative songs, and as for the youths they delight in Hip-hop and dancehall, am sure those present here can testify to this a term with no disco dances makes us dull students. When it comes to religious issues, youth find it a burden to go to church and if they offer to go they prefer it to be in a club way. Praise and worship accompanied by jazz unlike the old days where drums are the centre of music. Cultures in this way have greatly faded away; the trend of western culture has flamed up the world. Drugs and *** are a hobby and celebrated amongst the youth, yet *** to the old was for companionship and co-creation. But when we came to medical technology we all applause in general, young or old there is easy treatment, use of scanners, and medical facilities cuts across.

The month of crescent moons and indigo flamed candles.   Of burning sage and twinkling hooded lights flickering in frosted windows.   Of chipped nail varnish and lips chapped with bitter cold. Of darkened mornings with knitted scarves wrapped beneath pink noses and wet lashes.   Of lonely evergreens and sleigh bells a distant howl in the wind.

December
Long time coming Long time gunning Man dead on the ground the soul still running Flamed too ashes Like a cigar filled with tree Flamed too ashes So there’s no more misery Atleast that’s what he thinks But to his surprise He’s got grave problems On the other side.

*Didn't it sound a lot like something He said a long time ago? Now it makes sense Dripping from honey lips* I lowered the box into the ground Empty but only I knew as much Nothing to see, nothing to touch My own heart was buried deeper down Looking up I saw you shed a tear For all I was laying to rest Was to you a memory blessed A short respite, the re-emergence of fear Or maybe I had it wrong You could have known all along I could have been the one deceived Or maybe I only thought you believed Step back She sings the Mantra Let her finish Before we continue *Hare Krishna ¥ Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna ¥ Rama Rama Hare Rama ¥ Hare Rama Rama Rama ¥ Krishna Krishna* I could tell you reasons for what I've done Before the passion flamed I dreamed her naked, unashamed Innocent as the day was young I thought it was love that drove me on Even when the snake bared it's fangs Injected it's venom of change Convinced my compassion was strong Now I know that it can't be forgiven The arrows pierce you from behind Weaker still your weakened mind And contaminate your imagination Stole a page from God's playbook I'm sorry, my old friend, that you fell But I have ****** myself to hell Just one page was all it took *this end is for me even more than it is for you the fog in the forest is still sickly thick and you can't see the forest for the trees I dragged it out for too long but I know your ignorance is blissful and I don't blame you I'd do the same thing if I were in your shoes* It was my own guilt that stopped me cold Made me think twice of what I'd done I know you'd just soon it go on and on (And on and on) But seeing you so often demeaned is getting so very old ••••••••••••• Cry when you hear the song Crying is often the best thing to do Break down for an hour, in the back of your mind Know it gets better when the grieving is through Don't take anything she said for granted She felt she had good advice But you gotta let it work Learn how to pray Build a fortress around your mind Evict the rogue voices *"This is rebirth The hardest word Held under water This is death I'm out of breath Held under water"            - Dustin Carpenter             "Held Under Water"              (big sleep., 1988)*

*March 2002 (inspired by William Shakespeare; and an eerie floating drowned woman in the movie Titanic)* Adrift amid the bindweed, through the reeds, Watching the sky with deep unblinking eyes, She passes where the turquoise mayfly feeds, Oblivious of all that swims or flies. Red flowered chiffon billows to her hands Open like water lilies in the sun, Her skin's the colour of tropical sands, Her russet hair shines bright as copper spun. Fabulous jewels languish on her breast, Rich spoils of love rendered useless in death, Her parted lips make unspoken behest; The rosy portal of her final breath. Now all is cold where roiling passion flamed, As jealous earth mourns what the river claimed.

Ophelia
The seasons send their ruin as they go, For in the spring the narciss shows its head Nor withers till the rose has flamed to red, And in the autumn purple violets blow, And the slim crocus stirs the winter snow; Wherefore yon leafless trees will bloom again And this grey land grow green with summer rain And send up cowslips for some boy to mow. But what of life whose bitter hungry sea Flows at our heels, and gloom of sunless night Covers the days which never more return? Ambition, love and all the thoughts that burn We lose too soon, and only find delight In withered husks of some dead memory.

Desespoir
Single veteran knuckle, A bumblebee rapped against my bathroom window. With my hand flat against the glass in recognition of his long tour and fallen kin he traced to the south the first spring sun, whereupon a cubit of my sodden hair flamed with pollen of impossible angles.

March shower
In the witching hour all is quiet except for the beating sound of two hearts entwined with passion and agony beating more angry by the minute. Blinded eyes try to pierce through the dark abyss to find sanity in a place of cold nothingness and desolation, as the tortured mind cloudy with regret slowly fades away.. nails claw at blinded eyes longing to see the clouds part and behold, his goddess is there basking in the pale yellowing aura of the moon, as he looks longingly upon her.. skin and curves of perfection soaking up the yellowing, becoming golden upon his slightest gaze. Knees become burning furnaces of pain and torment as he falls to kneel before her, begging with soundless words of an open mouth for release. Paralyzed, hungrily devouring as her sightless eyes fall upon her brooding brow trailing down to the blinding stars that become her eyes under the harvest moon. The wind blows fierce surrounding her in a halo of color plucked dead limbs, trailing off into oblivion. She gazed upon his visage, her fierceness burning his soul in eternal torment she smirks and glides toward effortlessly slowly, tantalizingly slow, causing him great anguish and letting her sadistic humor known to all.. he lashed out and traps her in his iron eyes transfixed  on lips so full and soft as crimson color them tricking down her body hungrily eating her perfect curves he kisses her hard throwing themselves down a bottom less pit entangled in passion he forces her legs apart he slams into her as she drips wet in anticipation.. She moans breathlessly in extract, her ***** like velvet greedily devours his hardened **** of stone repeatedly ****** her innocence, tired bodies continuously fall exhausted. She tried to flee, but his fires flamed inside hotly he takes her again. His embrace hard, intense his iron will dominating her. Breaking her wild spirit, she gasps as he unleashes a relentless force inside her driving her to the edge of sanity and back again. Her eyes close for the last time giving into his dominance she embraced him. Her wild flaming spirit shattered knowing that as he worships her it is she who is forever a slave of their passionate love, melding bodies together, as they fall endlessly in the abyss.

There is nothing I can give to you that is not past or future. When my both selves fight, they throw insults at each other like an unhappy couple.     “You are already gone!” the one says,     “You are never here” says the other. And I sing then. I never let any note slip away into silence. Songs in which I’m a magician, right before the grand finale, the last vanishing act. I close my eyes and slowly slice away layers of skin, so I can become less and less, so I can sail away on the river without an end, it’s flow imposing my soul with the authoritative demand to move forward. There is no river. I am pitifully human so there is no alchemy that transforms loss into beauty. Ihe things I have built, I built myself. Like this house of memories with it’s sole window. The moon shines through it every night. What an unperfect image, what my heart endures everytime I reach out only to feel solance turning into a hell-flamed sky. The darkness is gone like I will be gone like everything has gone forever. There is also no house. Only the pale waves of a grey-winter sea,         dualism of being and not-being a perfect symmetry, a beautiful fragile balance.

A Beautiful Fragile Balance
Out of the night forth flamed a star -mine own! Now seventy light-years nearer as I urge Constant my heart through the abyss unknown, Its glory my sole guide while space surge About me. Seventy light-years! As I near That gate of light that men call death, its cold Pale gleam begins to pulse, a throbbing sphere, Systole and diastole of eager gold, New life immortal, warmth of passion bleed Till night's black velvet burn to crimson. Hark! It is thy voice, Thy word, the secret seed Of rapture that admonishes the dark. Swift! By necessity most righteous drawn, Hermes, authentic augur of the dawn!

Knows he who tills this lonely field To reap its scanty corn, What mystic fruit his acres yield At midnight and at morn? In the long sunny afternoon, The plain was full of ghosts, I wandered up, I wandered down, Beset by pensive hosts. The winding Concord gleamed below, Pouring as wide a flood As when my brothers long ago, Came with me to the wood. But they are gone,— the holy ones, Who trod with me this lonely vale, The strong, star-bright companions Are silent, low, and pale. My good, my noble, in their prime, Who made this world the feast it was, Who learned with me the lore of time, Who loved this dwelling-place. They took this valley for their toy, They played with it in every mood, A cell for prayer, a hall for joy, They treated nature as they would. They colored the horizon round, Stars flamed and faded as they bade, All echoes hearkened for their sound, They made the woodlands glad or mad. I touch this flower of silken leaf Which once our childhood knew Its soft leaves wound me with a grief Whose balsam never grew. Hearken to yon pine warbler Singing aloft in the tree; Hearest thou, O traveller! What he singeth to me? Not unless God made sharp thine ear With sorrow such as mine, Out of that delicate lay couldst thou The heavy dirge divine. Go, lonely man, it saith, They loved thee from their birth, Their hands were pure, and pure their faith, There are no such hearts on earth. Ye drew one mother's milk, One chamber held ye all; A very tender history Did in your childhood fall. Ye cannot unlock your heart, The key is gone with them; The silent ***** loudest chants The master's requiem.

An Old Story I It was roses, roses, all the way, With myrtle mixed in my path like mad. The house-roofs seemed to heave and sway, The church-spires flamed, such flags they had, A year ago on this very day! II The air broke into a mist with bells, The old walls rocked with the crowds and cries. Had I said, “Good folks, mere noise repels— But give me your sun from yonder skies!” They had answered, “And afterward, what else?” III Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun, To give it my loving friends to keep. Nought man could do have I left undone, And you see my harvest, what I reap This very day, now a year is run. IV There’s nobody on the house-tops now— Just a palsied few at the windows set— For the best of the sight is, all allow, At the Shambles’ Gate—or, better yet, By the very scaffold’s foot, I trow. V I go in the rain, and, more than needs, A rope cuts both my wrists behind, And I think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds, For they fling, whoever has a mind, Stones at me for my year’s misdeeds. VI Thus I entered Brescia, and thus I go! In such triumphs, people have dropped down dead. “Thou, paid by the World,—what dost thou owe Me?” God might have questioned; but now instead ’Tis God shall requite! I am safer so.

The Patriot
If the sun had hands, he’d reach out to touch the curve of the moon’s spine, tracing his fingers along each crater as she lit up for him like a paper lantern in the sky. His flamed limbs enveloping her, his Luna. The arch of her back against the backdrop of night, her fullness intoxicating. After all this time, still burning for her. When the sun was given hands, he cursed them as he watched the moon crumble into ash in the blaze. His hands were Rome and he couldn’t stop the collapse, the ruins of her scattered across his cupped palms. He prayed to Moirai for revival, but all three gods were silent. Choking back flames of fury, he tossed his beloved into the black expanse, each flake still lit with a passion to rebel the stars that continue to burn with foolish hope.

A to Be is Why to Zed ~ An Alabaster's Alphabet
The boat ploughed on. Now Alcatraz was past And all the grey waves flamed to red again At the dead sun's last glimmer. Far and vast The Sausalito lights burned suddenly In little dots and clumps, as if a pen Had scrawled vague lines of gold across the hills; The sky was like a cup some rare wine fills, And stars came as he watched -- and he was free One splendid instant -- back in the great room, Curled in a chair with all of them beside And the whole world a rush of happy voices, With laughter beating in a clamorous tide. . . . Saw once again the heat of harvest fume Up to the empty sky in threads like glass, And ran, and was a part of what rejoices In thunderous nights of rain; lay in the grass Sun-baked and tired, looking through a maze Of tiny stems into a new green world; Once more knew eves of perfume, days ablaze With clear, dry heat on the brown, rolling fields; Shuddered with fearful ecstasy in bed Over a book of knights and ****** shields . . . The ship slowed, jarred and stopped. There, straight ahead, Were dock and fellows. Stumbling, he was whirled Out and away to meet them -- and his back Slumped to the old half-cringe, his hands fell slack; A big boy's arm went round him -- and a twist Sent shattering pain along his tortured wrist, As a voice cried, a bloated voice and fat, "Why it's Miss Nancy! Come along, you rat!"

Going Back to School
No sign of life did flicker In floods of tears she cried All hope's lost it can't be undone They're wasted and gone Save me your speeches I know (They blinded us all) What you want You will take it away from me Take it and I know for sure The light she once brought in Is gone forevermore Like sorrowful seagulls they sang (We're) lost in the deep shades The misty cloud brought (A wailing when beauty was gone Come take a look at the sky) Monstrous it covered the shore Fearful into the unknown Quietly it crept in new horror Insanity reigned And spilled the first blood When the old king was slain Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Immortal land lies down in agony How long shall we Mourn in the dark the bliss and the beauty Will not return Say farewell to sadness and grief Though long and hard the road may be But even in silence I heard the words An oath we shall swear By the name of the one Until the world's end It can't be broken Just wondering how I can still hear these voices inside The doom of the Noldor drew near The words of a banished king I swear revenge Filled with anger flamed our hearts Full of hate full of pride We screamed for revenge Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Immortal land lies down in agony Vala he is that's what you said Then your oath's been sworn in vain (But) freely you came and You freely shall depart (So) never trust the northern winds Never turn your back on friends Oh I'm heir of the high lord! You better don't trust him The enemy of mine Isn't he of your kind and Finally you may follow me Farewell He said Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Immortal land lies down in agony Back to where it all began Back to where it all began

The golden tinge of sun pierced the cloud But the mangrove held onto its dark cloak She hid somewhere between the light and shadow When from one irresistible daze I awoke. Unbeknownst flamed up the rocks salt white Dry since the waves receded beyond the ******* A cold loneliness crept up in the spell broken light As if eons had passed without the sight of her. Then one seagull’s spriteful fish dream shriek Motioned me up from the vacuous stupor Buzzed each sand grain all years’ unborn speak Was to be seized this moment and tell her. The wind having carried the voice of her name Spread it across the mangrove and far From the receding waves rose a rising flame When in her hug beneath an acacia I found her.

Beneath An Acacia
I ask for direction but only the spirit knows, the semantic is lost in one ritual or another subroutine. We breath in violable biology to voice a movement that joins u to me and together we point there, somewhere without realizing that I consciously exhale. A relaxed breath in but two ways out. There is no committee nor panel of experts, endless discussions, of morality of us all; There is only me deciding how to exhale, which way to breath out. There is no wrong or right, only the slow, controlled, submissive, submission vowels or short, percussive consonants full of sound and fury signifying the falling golf ***** scattered on off-target greens, a lawn of flamed bogeys. A brief pause in silence aftermath, memories of honored and vicious executioners before I pick up the next eddie current, the next randori in forgotten volume, in brownian space, in distance maai, in movements unthinkingly remembered.

you will break the dawn like eggshells, cracked like my promise and I will take the needle, carefully knit your battle wounds together with stories from inside candles flamed kisses. I will plaid metaphor and memory together until you are the rag-doll someone promised to fix.

Blue walls and crystal clear tears the blue boy picked up his pace in fear through red and yellow and green and all the colors he could never be He sat at the corner on a bench up in the hill and sobbed and screamed and sighed wishing he could be all the things that weren't him "Oh Cosmos! So big and wild, why did you make me the world's most blue and lonely guy?" he cried to the sky in this dark and empty night Blue walls and crystal clear tears his eyes flamed red for the first time in years he started constructing crazy little schemes this small blue boy and his big red dreams
