Feeling Hollowed

Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...

Fingernails bitter purple
A tousle of shredded hair
Weakened limbs and fragile nerves
Dreams strangled to disrepair...

How long 'till the sun comes out?
Forever must still be there
Without the light all things fade
Darkness makes them disappear....

A burning torch within me
Faith, the everlasting flair
Scorching both sense and reason
Too blind to show heaven near...

Written In Aid Of The Leicester Lunatic Asylum.

Light ye the torch,--
The torch that hath expired;
The light with which was fired
Chamber and hall and porch:
But now the house is dark,
Its inmates rove in vain,
There shines but a bewildering spark:
Light ye the torch again!

Light ye the torch,--
It was a sacred flame,
From God in heaven it came:
All nature ye may search
To find a fire so bright,
And ye shall search in vain:
But quenched is all its glorious light:--
Light ye the torch again!

Light ye the torch,--
The ruthless winds have blown
Its tresses up and down,
Till it did scare and scorch,
Not bless: but one fell blast
Swept howling o'er the plain,
And left all darkness as it past;--
Light ye the torch again!

Light ye the torch,--
And ye shall blessed be:
Till many a bended knee
In chamber and in church
Shall serve ye: merciful,
Mercy ye shall obtain:
Your cup of glory shall be full:--
Light ye the torch again!

An Autumn Night

An autumn night, so bitter chill it is
An owl, for all its plum and thick feathers is cold
The hare long ago rushed limping trembling through the frozen maze
Into a lair, and silent stark are the song birds on a woody enfold

Naked trees with barren boughs, no leaf does tremble, no ripple there
On the streets, all abandoned still under the night sleepy eye
The world so deserted from any human sign or care
Darkness reign on dreary routes with echoing cry

And the moon whether prudish or shy in this cold night
Has fled to her bower, well reluctant to lend her dimming light
No light in this oppressing darkness, no fume no torch in the gloom
Is this world ever waken, do these trees ever bloom

Cause and Effect

Nothing in life is circumstantial,
Everything happens for a reason
And anything you do,
Whether you do it right or wrong
Within a set time framework,
It will have a cause and effect…

Failure and disappointment
Will be the final result
If you are one of those
Drown in desperation
When missing the tool of creativity.
Your works will give you away
Since your name is stamped on it
And only time will tell…

Success is only reserved
For all of those on Earth
Willing to sacrifice their time
Toward the achievement
Of their ultimate goal
Which it should be based on:
Honesty, integrity and ethic
Anywhere in the World!

Stay Here Forever

Stay Here Forever
Date: November 18,2012

I will remember you in soft pink dreams
Savoring you like honey; sweet, warm flavors on my tongue
And I'll taste the fullness of your fiery lips melting on mine
To the depths of my soul, I'll thrill to the songs of your feathered touch
And with each midnight turning, I'll lay twisting, yearning
Trembling as you steal my breath to keep as your own

Never leave me, my love…to battle the nights alone
Never, ever cease to spread your wings
To shield me from life's cruel clutch
Live! Scream your songs forever into my consciousness, my memories
For if you fade, I will cease to breathe
If you turn your eyes away, my essence will fail to be

I will relive you in my heart, my darling, my dancing ember
As you rage in me, a sea of flame scorching my soul
So lustful is your whispered intent, my love, so wanton your hunger
I listen, stone silent, straining to hear the urgent call of your desires
For I long for the perfect rhythm of your fevered sighs
Rewinding in slow sweet agony, the precious heat of your flesh on mine

Never turn from me, never my love, never
Do not break the bond that holds my heart in chains
For you are the key, the makings of my weakness, my fire
And I will perish in cold oblivion without your favor
Never leave me stranded, to shiver in the desert of dark despair
Stay with me forever, stay here…forever captured in my heart.

Despair Is Darkness

DESPAIR IS DARKNESS

Despair is darkness-
Despair is death inside and death in the world and death in one’s own sad soul-
Despair is no way out -
Despair is the place where one is forever stuck -
Despair is the realization that one has done what one could – and one is not going anywhere else-
Despair is the admission of failure-
Despair is no sign of help anywhere around-
Despair is so much lost-
Despair is one‘s life is over-
Despair is regret-
Despair is the sense that one will never have the time to have another chance -
Despair is ‘it’s finished’-
Despair is no way out-
Despair is going down and more down and more dark and more afraid all the time -
Despair is the scream which hurts and does not stop the hurting -
Despair is the understanding that even Death will not save one -
Despair is that the pain will never end-not even with death.
Despair is no way out again and again and again- without end.

I Fear Death

I fear the loss of ludicrousy,
And the end of misery,
The end of the unsightly swayings
Of an otherwise busy
Surrounding.
I fear the stillness of serenity
And the calmness of certainty
In the falling emptiness
We call darkness
When we haven't a clue
As to what carries us.
I fear the loss of blind faith
And practical fallacy,
The folly of fondness
And occasional fondling
Of a passerby waitress,
Waiting equally
For an unknown calamity
To carry her into infinity.
I fear the loss of un-clarity
And anonymity.
And the things one thinks of
When feeling on an ordinary day.
I fear the loss of time
And the inability to keep
What is lost.
I fear the reaper.
And the indifference I will feel
When existence escapes me
On the fateful day
When I lay there empty.
And careless,
So careless,
Unable to remember any of it.

Give me the reason to live

My mind could be filled with doubt
My heart could waver with despair
But my fate still face ahead

My hair may turn to grey
My body may be weakened
But my words would echo through the time

Give me the strength
Because I'm not strong enough
Give me the hope
Because I don't have any

Give me the love
So I feel safe and warm
Give me the light
So I can walk forward

My dream may be tainted with fear
My world may be painted in darkness
But my life still going on

My burden could be weighted my shoulder
My guilt could consume my will
But my faith would find the sun

Give me the strength
Before I run away
Give me the hope
Before I completely disappear

Give me the love
Even if it will be gone
Give me the light
Even if it is the end

Hidden Sun

In dreams...
eyes Willing
to look upon
the green tattoo
The sun on thy head.

I have named you
with blind faith
my hearts desire.
This sun I seek
Remains hidden
by night's black hair.

Unfortunate my journey...
Unending dream
Waiting
longing...
Just a single gust of wind
come blow thy blacken hair
and show the sun...

Now comes the true sun
and my eyes are open...
And that I greatly desired
One look upon that sun
will be forever hidden
in the clouds of my dreams.

A Lost Love

It takes so long to get there
Like madness to be too late...
Fragile, fragile onset,
Captured in the avenue of delay...

Like a paper-cut-by surprise
You make a break and then you bleed
And then you find a band-aid
And wrap it tightly to your wound...

Dare there be a reason
To withdraw one resolution
You can't-the pain is always there
Remaining with no solution...

Live & Breathe

Ive been waiting for the sky to clear,
To get me out of here
Get me on my way and go
Ive been waiting for a sign to appear
To show me the way to a place Ive never known
All I have are my dreams....
Your love and blind faith
There... in the sky spins a wheel,
Its giving me the feelin that my dream
Came true today
Chorus:
Theres a place... where we two can be together
Once the clouds are gone well both move on
In search of all weve dreamed
Therell come a day...
Blue skies endless and forever
Well, that time has come
Ive found the sun in you, I live and breathe
From the moment that I close my eyes,
Feel the sun it rise,
Hear it echo through my soul
For the first time in this young mans life,
Makes me feel alive
Fills my heart and makes me stronger
All I have are my dreams...
Your love and blind faith
There in the sky spins a wheel,
Its givin me the feeling
That my dream came true today
Repeat chorus
Someplace closer to both our hearts
Somewhere further than where we are
Just as long as theres hope enough
Long as I live and breathe
Repeat chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Pray

So here we stand again
Like dust on mother earth
And we hide our faces in our dreams

Only emptiness where angels flew - high on golden wings
And the voice of god has vanished now - lost inside our dreams
But the only way to go is heaven

All we can do is pray
In the darkness we stand with the world in our hands
And we pray
For a better tomorrow
We wait

Far beyond the horizon
There's a sound in the sky
The voice of glory I hear a silent cry
When the heroes of yesterday are gone

All we can do is pray
In the darkness we hide and we wait for the light
And we pray
Oh we pray
Let us pray

I've seen the darkside of the moon in my dreams
Now I know it ain't a place to live for us all
All our gods creation is dead an gone
Now we stand like children all alone forever

All we can do is pray
Forever and forever and forever more
For a better tomorrow - we wait

Pray
There's a light in the dark
And it's shining so bright on our way
Still there is hope on our way
And we pray
Oh

Somethings Burning, Baby

Something is burning, baby, are you aware?
Something is the matter, baby, theres smoke in your hair
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?
Youve been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
The truth that Im seeking is in your missing file
Whats your position, baby, whats going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
I know everything about this place, or so it seems
Am I know longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Well, it is so obvious that something has changed
Whats happening baby to make you act so strange?
Something is burning, baby, heres what I say
Even the bloodhounds of london couldnt find you today
I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin you blue
Who is he, baby, and whats he to you?
Weve reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins
Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins
But where do you live, baby, and where is the light?
Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?
I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night, when I think of you
I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light, and its got to be true
You cant live by bread alone, you wont be satisfied
You cant roll away the stone if your hands are tied
Got to start someplace baby, can you explain?
Please dont fade away on me baby, like the midnight train
Answer me baby, a casual look will do
Just what in the world has come over you?
I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind, and its upside down
I can feel it in the dust as I get of the bus on the outskirts of town
Ive had the mexico city blues since the last hairpin curve
I dont wanna see you bleed, I know what you need and it aint what you deserve.
Something is burning, baby, somethings in flames
Theres a man going round calling names
Ring down when your ready, baby, Im waiting for you
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do.

For Wanting To Write....

perhaps, because of this
i may end up
with a head cut, or
a body shredded like
cheese,
tired limbs like
burnt toast,

perhaps because of that
i may not reach
what destination is reserved by
the lines of my palms,

perhaps i may not even end at
all,
because here you are
reading these lines
and you will like them

not because they are as palatable
as exotic friend frogs
but because you have felt sorrow
and have the smell of pain
the sound of acidic rain
over your hair
now melting and before you notice it
you too have become bald
because of having known much
than what is permitted by all these lines

it is about us,
it is about our being part of this vast
nothingness

sands of the desert
light of the moon spreading on sands of the desert nights
hushing wind
taking all the possible directions

More Out Of It Than In and Under Spotlight

I never intended to master subservience.
And respect I find difficult to give,
To anyone incompetent.
That makes little sense to me.

I know the difference between child's play,
Work and having relaxing fun...
Doing nothing at all but chilling out!
Without one concern to worry about.

I feel freer than many who are attached to things,
With such an obedience to keep them.
As if those 'things' were limbs extended.
To express a level of achievement.

And the more I pursue dreams,
With a wish to fulfill each one.
I find I have become more strict and limited,
Than those who speak of their conservative ideologies.

And that is a frightening premise,
Coming from one who claims to be a nonconformist...
In appearance.
As not to conflict with a given physical image.

Hey...
It is all showbiz.
Busy giving show!
And being serious about life,
More out of it than in and under spotlight.

Insecurity

Sometimes I sit here and think
That all this will disappear if I so much as blink
Maybe I'm paranoid; you know I think this is something we should avoid
But I know that neither of will be able to sleep annoyed

You let me slip into a sense of security
Let me believe this sense of insecurity will fade with maturity
But I still fear after all these years that you hold most power
And I'm just an accessory, a fragile little flower

So maybe yes, I do these little things to test you
Pushing my boundaries to discover something new
And I know you knew about my challenging past
Just another reason for me to believe you've found better at last

I know they tell me I shouldn't let my shadow haunt me
But I fear that if I let my shadow go I'll be vulnerable for them to see
And I won't let my memories repeat even if it leaves me alone
I won't take another's future just so I can call you my home

Shall I care?

Shall I care at all, that in the dreams and in the languor of time
My poetry does not show me and my inner most being and prime
For my poems are fragrance, and not a credible reflection
Words like shadows in disharmony dance and daunt imagination

But I do care, for life will be over so soon,
And I will be lost, forgotten as my being never happen
Like a small candle in mid day bright noon
And my quill idle, blunt and not sharpen

yet, like barley bending in harsh summer winds throng
And rising again and again
So would I, free and unbroken rise from agony and pain
Day long, night long change my sorrow into words of song

What Drives You To The End

tears of pain and sorrow continue to fall for what seems forever
no hope of light or happiness can be seen in the distance
only the endless cutting into the heart till it is split open
little possibility of removing the cold sharp knife that cuts on
then light starts forming cracks in the endless tunnel walls
only enough light to leak hope into the dark soul but
not enough to light the tunnel so that it's possible for sight
more and more light leaks into the soal and the pain disapates
warmth and happines fills the body and soal till nothing else matters
then the shadows sneak up while there is nothing blocking it anymore
evil and darkness surrounds the light and blocks it from the sole
the light withdraws back into the cracks and leaves only darkness
darkness that fills the soal and rips up all that is good and continues
the endless dripping pain the pain that reveals that the dark tunnel will
continue on forever a choice is made and the knife is thrust deeper till
all is still and the bleeding stops all together all of it stops forever
