Nite kisses

Your kiss still hot in my mind
your touch still caressing my flesh
the scent of your hair still hangs in the air
Nite kisses and dreams of you
fill the midnight air
i toss and i turn and for you i still burn
i hear your voice begging me not to leave
but in the end you know i must go
so now i suffer the pain of my hemorrhaging soul
as it bleeds out its love
dyeing like a burnt smoldering coal
nite kisses and sweet dreams of you
are all i have left
the touch of your hand still burns
in my mind the scent of your hair still lingers there
and nite kisses still caress my lips
as i dream of you once more
I wake to find realities harsh glare
rushing through the day
into the night to a new rendezvous
with nite kisses upon my dreaming lips

Crow

Black obsidian jewel
raucous caw foretelling doom
3000 miles of lies as the crow flies
midnight screams blood covered dreams
wither and die in the glare of that cold black eye
storm crow flies war on the rise
drums of war call fathers son
to die in some foreign land
seeking glory finding none
lifeless hands still griping broken blade
never to see his home again his love again
heavy flapping wings casting shadows on
cold lifeless forms
feasting on the innocent who died
to young never knowing why
bloated corpse reflected
in carrion crows unblinking eye
shocked grimace on pale cold face
never feeling the steel that found him
leaking his soul
to that lonely dark place
hand still clutching tattered black book
bloated corpse reflected in carrion
crows unblinking eye
head cocked whimsically
as Exodus sharp beak
feeds off the bounty of the land
. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
and the red feasting began
Black obsidian jewel
on field of red
is this the banner we follow to our future fate
storm crow flies always ahead of
our lives bleeding our mortality to feed our insatiable greed
and its own horrible need
flights of glory painted black on field of red
keep your eyes on the prize and we may yet
commit collective suicide

magic

do you believe in magic

magic rings magic beans magic rhymes magic times

magic talismans

the witching hour

do you believe in magic
once upon a time

I used to dream of fairys flying on magical wings

Halloween haunting's that would make you scream

ghost goblins

dark coffins under the stairs

wand waving mage's

catching a ride on Pegasus back

do you believe in magic

not any more

the tears that grace my face when I think of you

have silenced the dragons roar

little Jackie Paper comes no more

do you believe in magic

as you grow older and your dreams

only come at a price

you trade off the magic little by little

until the hundred acre wood is

cold and still with out life

When I was a child, I spoke as a child

, I understood as a child when

I became a man, I put away childish things.

and grew old blind lonely and bored

waiting for death to close the door

dreams of tree houses never built

fairy gardens and magical fairs

when I think of how you would laugh and smile

when old Dragons growled

I can almost recall how the fairy folk flew

how magic lived in

my love for you

Continue writing nightshift, you are doing fine!
Rome wasn't built in a day... practice makes perfect... etc. etc. etc.
Give the pen to your heart and you will find an audience.
Keep it up!

I still have more to read of your poems, so genuine and so full with LIFE!



"... the tears that grace my face when I think of you
