through shattered glass a broken mind
in one lone voice terse and cleansed
speaks unspoken thoughts of rusty will

nestled in spirit's brawny grasp
winged notions lay in wait
on woodless edges of fate's forest
relenting for relent's sake

heart-shaped clouds bleed sorrowed sheets
blanketing a clown of shame
huddled atop nervy stilts
embedded in the muck of mourn

furious fields forge fires of rage
a sweltering stench stands tall
in lockstep a ghosts parade
foggy silhouettes stop and gaze
watching, waiting, wanting
to rob future's grave of treasures past

scratched and bruised and battered lands
tattered bands of dreamscape caravans
timeless sands, spineless hands, heartless clans
among these, fate is planned

a distant city stands to fall
infidels shall cringe and crawl
brotherhood of hate begun
redemption of man undone

swinging frayed rope
holds a rotten board
thin grain shows dark
between mold and grit
worn smooth imprints
     babe buttock

howling precursor
black horizon
fat droplets shift dust
pacing hound bays
rattle-trap ford
        crunching gravel

sizzle of fried flour
distracts mud pie designers
one less hen
late Saturday dinner
grandad’s pipe
       cherry tobacco smoke tendrils

low tones from behind a fire
pine burns hot and fast
sweat droplets fall
drink for dark earth
woodless floor, uneven
carries years of sweat
       and tears –

I can’t breath alone…
I need your love as my own..
Hey! Come with me somewhere alone.
For only your love can save me from the drown….
We will find a place to be together… Where love is always in the weather…..
Your love is sweet your love is sour…
Still i want your love more and more…

My heart's now aching…. Beats  stopped celebrating….
The thread between you and me; is now torn apart….. Tears  of love are crying out hard…
Come back to me, for  i am alone…. Only your love can save me from the drown..
You are my plethora  of love…. Without  you I am  woodless woodstove….
Come back to me for I
miss you more and more… Be my love from your heart and core……
My beats are crying…. Still my eyes are lying….
I want you.. I love you…. I miss you my love... Come back,  don’t leave me alone…
For only your love can save me from the drown……
