the mountain is darkening~

Most 'Beaches' and I
I often wished someone had thoughts of me,
To stroll along the beach at sunset.
Then to strip and be naked.
Laying under darkening skies,
Until we are dried from being wet.
And not a word of having sex...
Seeped from whispered breath.
I often wished someone had thoughts of me,
Like that!
Instead of grabbing my crotch,
To then demand...
I give up the best that I've got!
Perhaps that is why,
Most 'beaches' and I...
Do not share respectful memories.

Runaway Thoughts
Be stilled by a mouth of prayers
As I sing my blues away
Hearing your sighs of brokenness
I lay dead on these runaway thoughts
Choosing on forever's dream
And drinking the 'eyes' of 'whys'
Reasons I call subdued
By the colors of her runaway thoughts
Stilled by a foaming mouth of the sea

The red and orange hues
Of sunset
Fade too quickly
As you see
Once all
So beautiful
Then nothing
But darkness
Even with
The stars and
The moon
Just like these
Memories
In my mind
Growing old
Thoughts like rain
Ceaselessly
Dripping

The Old Man's Funeral
Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled,
His glorious course, rejoicing earth and sky,
In the soft evening, when the winds are stilled,
Sinks where his islands of departure spread
O'er the warm-colored heaven and ruddy mountain head.
Why weep ye then for him, who, having won
The bound of man's appointed years, at last.
Life's blessings all enjoyed, life's labors done,
Serenely to his final rest has passed;
While the soft memory of his virtues yet
Lingers like twilight hues, when the bright sun is set?

As The Sunset
As the sunset I think to myself why.
As the sunset I sit down and cry.
Wondering why life got to be a lie.
As the sunset I dropp my head.
As the sunset I think about you instead.
How can I go home and get in my bed.
As the sunset I say no.
As the sunset I just don't know.
My love that I have for u just wont go.
As the sunset I look to the sky.
As the sunset I wait to die.
Tell me how to say good-bye.
As the sunset I say a prayer.
As the sunset how can I dare.
I'm giving up, I just don't care.
Sitting by the window watching the sun to set.
Knowing I'm going to see you again,
and you coming back home at the end.

I Don't Understand A Sunset I Just Watch It
as i sit on the white sands on the beach
watching another sunset
i do not think
of the sunset
i just watch it
and be amazed about the changing of the hues
and then the darkness
and then the moon and stars that come
like a change of a number
in a program that you watch
what is it to to be understood? Tell me.
There is nothing to be discussed and written like a thesis
these things are
meant to be seen and felt and then forgotten

England to America
And what of thee, O Lincoln's Land? What gloom
Is darkening above the Sunset Sea?
Vowed Champion of Liberty, deplume
Thy war-crest, bow thy knee,
Before God answer thee.
What talk is thine of rebels? Didst thou turn,
My very child, thy vaunted sword on me,
To scoff to-day at patriot fires that burn
In hearts unbound to thee,
Flames of the Sunset Sea?

Prayer
Echo of the clocktower, footstep
in the alleyway, sweep
of the wind sifting the leaves.
Jeweller of the spiderweb, connoisseur
of autumn’s opulence, blade of lightning
harvesting the sky.
Keeper of the small gate, choreographer
of entrances and exits, midnight
whisper travelling the wires.
Seducer, healer, deity or thief,
I will see you soon enough—
in the shadow of the rainfall,
in the brief violet darkening a sunset—
but until then I pray watch over him
as a mountain guards its covert ore
and the harsh falcon its flightless young.

Miserable thought
Gloomy kind of feelings
suddenly came....
lingering into my mind
darkening my today
darkening my thoughts
I realise....
it's the thought of you
I was alive yesterday
it's the thought of you
that kills my today
it's the thought of you
I hate you for today
it's the thought of you
I am dead today.
Thoughts Mind Soul Echoes
thoughts like children
scatter from our mind
thoughts were part of us?
thoughts came from us?
thoughts live beyond us?
thoughts outlive our lives?
thoughts mind soul echoes
haunting fragments of mind
light shines through prisms
separates into colour bands
thought trails sunset colours
spectrum ribbons thoughts
spiral into keen conceptions
meaning insight discriminates

Dusk at Sea
To-night eternity alone is near:
The sea, the sunset, and the darkening blue;
Within their shelter is no space for fear,
Only the wonder that such things are true.
The thought of you is like the dusk at sea --
Space and wide freedom and old shores left far,
The shelter of a lone immensity
Sealed by the sunset and the evening star.

My Soul
In the flame of the flickering fire
The sins of my soul are few
And the thoughts in my head are the thoughts of a bed
With a solitary view.
But the eye of eternal consciousness
Must blink as a bat blinks bright
Or ever the thoughts in my head be stilled
On the brink of eternal night.
Oh feed to the golden fish his egg
Where he floats in his captive bowl,
To the cat his kind from the womb born blind,
And to the Lord my soul.

Bloom upon the Mountain—stated
667
Bloom upon the Mountain—stated—
Blameless of a Name—
Efflorescence of a Sunset—
Reproduced—the same—
Seed, had I, my Purple Sowing
Should endow the Day—
Not a Topic of a Twilight—
Show itself away—
Who for tilling—to the Mountain
Come, and disappear—
Whose be Her Renown, or fading,
Witness, is not here—
While I state—the Solemn Petals,
Far as North—and East,
Far as South and West—expanding—
Culminate—in Rest—
And the Mountain to the Evening
Fit His Countenance—
Indicating, by no Muscle—
The Experience—

The Anger in Danger: Damned the boy
Stilled the man in you
led a dark, cruel place
stilled the heart in me
ware the danger
deaf the boy
Trusted the boy, saw the moon together
Butterfly flew away, stilled the man in me
blind the boy
Lost the road
five walked away
scarred the boy
Stilled the man in you
touch the darkness
turned the boy
Ware the boys
Omelas' basement raged
wind bent, torn the gale
deaf the boy, blind the boy
lost the boy
Angel's love, a broken toy
rusted springs, broken bellows,
lost the fellows
Heartless, darkness, tear the wing, use the boy
fly butterfly fly
far away from my killing jar
Found the anger in danger
damned the boy
fly butterfly fly

My Lonely Sunset
My lonely sunset
The sun rests after its hot day,
The tide is seeping away
Standing in the sand,
Grasping at the suns last rays of warmth.
I stand alone.
I stand alone in the suns safety.
I stand alone in the seas gentle ripples
I stand alone with the sunset.
A lonely sunset.
As the sun lowers
Feet sinking in the sand
For these moments I live.
For these moments,
Where my thoughts sease and release.
The memories pass.
Peace.
This is My lonely sunset.
This is My Peace.

Short Stuff
January 2nd
The gym is bloated
With resolutions
The beginning
Of reflection
Sunset
Adversity
Impeding my progress-
Short bus
Snow bank
Sifting through
All the deposits
Boxing up
All the memories
Picture frame
Alone
Watching the sunset
Just me…

Listen To The Sunset
Listen to the sunset,
Hear its silent sigh
As it falls down the horisen
Warning, the moon is nigh
Listen to the sunset
Hear its silent threat
That darkness will be upon us
It makes everyone upset
Listen to the sunset
The vanity of its words
How beautiful this sunset is
With its colour, and birds
Listen to the sunset
See its pretty hue
But I cant enjoy the sunset
If I am not with you
All the pretty colours are meaningless
So are the birds, and the sounds
Because it all means nothing to me
If you are not around
Just remember this though,
Promise you wont forget,
Even if your far away,
We'll be watching the same sunset
So listen to the sunset
Enjoy its beauty true
When you see it, think of me
And I will think of you
