    Secret Lover

    Your secret breath
    I watch while you are sleeping
    you're never alone.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    The Drinker

    Unhappy with himself he pours another drink
    Unhappy with his past, with what he will always feel and think and be he fears
    His troubles there up on the shelf, his anger there flowing down the sink,
    His ever after and his never was, his futility and his just because

    Give like a word
    Your presence,
    Into this stillness
    Swing like a sword.

    Break like a stone
    The distance,
    Into this silence
    Wing like a bird.

    Take like a cup
    This body:
    Here is existence.
    Drink.

    I find that a bit scary, actually, but it's perfect as a caption for an Edvard Munch painting that almost gives me nightmares!

    Hehe it is meant to be a little scary. Actually if I recall correctly the original name of the painting as 'The Lover"

    Shadow Self

    You formerly
    my shadow self,
    leave me broken
    over the stones,
    skinned alive,
    so you can steal
    away into the night.

    While once I believed
    we were chained
    by eternity,
    now I am left
    with this void
    of blackness
    because you
    who were half of me
    betrayed the sacred trust.

    I know will get through this
    for I always do
    but it wrenches, wrenches
    at my soul,
    let me cry despair
    into the night
    before again I must
    harden myself
    there is no stillness
    in the torrent of chaos
    so I go into the tempest
    in search of the eye of the storm,
    where I shall feel
    the wrath of the winds
    just outside myself
    and draw power
    from the source
    yet still feeling
    the calm within myself
    and than I will emerge
    reborn through
    darkness and destruction.

    There must be some leeway granted there in leeway heaven where stars of redundancy shine and all your faults are mine.

    In a place where forgetfulness reigns and no one dwells long upon old pains there must be such a thing.

    The travel is hard and the ways are scarred by all that you carry.

    Still Time

    Alive, there still is time to grow
    A heart that lets one's spirit show.

    simple is a life
    that culminate in rights

    gentle is the breeze
    that comes and goes in ease

    joyful is the day
    that promises a play
    in meaningful delights

    braver is the sun
    that warms our
    coldest ways

    youthfull is the rain
    that nourishes
    our faith

    and
    eternal is the beat
    that raise ourselves
    to be

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Sad as I was I reckoned it was just because the philosophies of life got me down and put a frown on me

    Later I found I frowned because the chemicals in the brain said hello misery.

    Now I'm confused.

    Every time I think I can breathe....

    Your eyes held the look of bitter almonds
    for which knew there was no escape,
    but there were moments when I tried.

    Like a grave you are enshrouded
    within the aroma of decaying
    winter blossoms, and I was lost
    the regret of memories.

    Your voice was the sound of a good-bye kiss
    and I knew in a moment that all was lost,
    there are always phantoms seeking
    claims upon my soul.

    The intentions are of little consequence,
    the result is the same, the moment
    you awaken to another they become
    a sleeper cell always with the potential
    to infiltrate.

    May I speak of unspeakable things
    unknowing of what I mean to say
    but only knowing there is something
    there.

    It goes without saying that I
    become aphonic, and the irony
    is scarcely loss, for there are few
    lines I would not cross.

    The writings of dark muse go like this,
    I'm sad and need a kiss,
    but the writings of the dude go,
    hey, and they're all for show.

    Walking on a Trail

    Dark and green and blue and white:
    All that's seen is calm and bright.
