Sadness(acrostic)

Silent screeching inside that comes and goes.

Amplified anguish no retreating the lonesome heartache.

Darkness in the daylight as cold rains deepen.

Neighbors of gloom hounding, the ill-mannered dogs.

Ever negative presence residing in the tiniest spaces.

Surfs the black tides of life ineveitable.

Slinks on the surface drags a solemn expression.

Surfs Up Tonight

Wherever the wind blows
When it blows over the sea
The moons sitting high
Waves will rise
Water shapes
Waves will take you, take you there
Surfs up tonight
Summers on hold
It will go running away
Youve gotta move now
Get inside
Take that dive
Get inside today
Surfs up tonight
Now I was lonely
And you were too
I met you down at the waterline
Now theres something we can do
Now theres something left to do
Oh yeah
Surfs up tonight
Wherever you are
When youre coming over land
Theres a place where you can throw it away
Theres a place you can forget
You get wet, its free
You get high, youre alive
Surfs up tonight
Come on up tonight
Surfs up tonight

Hissing From Them Begins To Vent

They run back into their dungeons,
Afraid to face another day of daylight...
And conflicts with those,
Who oppose darkness.

A demand to correct their ways has come.
Leaving them stunned by the one who says this!
And protest the way this 'commandment' is made.
As a retreating commences,
A hissing from them begins to 'vent'.

They run back into their dungeons,
Afraid to face another day of daylight...
And conflicts with those,
Who oppose darkness.

As a retreating commences,
A hissing from them...
Begins to 'vent'.

A hissing,
From them...
Begins,
To vent!

The Silent Tree

Gentle and forlorn,
Darkness creeps,
Slowly stalking
The solemn presence.

A misplaced light glistens
As the moon shines softly
Upon the tender branches
Of the Silent Tree.

And the winds lightly
Speak, very quietly.
Unspoken voices
Of the Silent Tree

And the tender river
Flows smoothly,
Life pours into the aged roots
Of the Silent Tree

And unheard by Nature,
The delicately woven song
Beautifully voiced
By the Silent Tree

Sun's Up

The water, is calling out your name,
No your not insane,
It's whispering your name.
And the wind, pulling you closer in,
Feel it under your skin,
Feel it movin' within.
World ain't falling down again,
Well it ain't what it seems,
Well it ain't what it is;
You ain't provoked by your sin,
'Cause you can't tell a lie,
'Cause you lie within.
The sun's up,
And the surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind;
The sun's up,
And the surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind.
Powerful as it seems,
Forever for all the dreams...;
All that you wanna believe;
All the games,
Running through the fields,
Hoping it stays for real,
Trying to make a special deal.
Ohhh...
The world ain't falling down again,
Well it ain't what it seems,
Well it ain't what it is;
You ain't provoked by your sin,
'Cause you can't tell a lie,
Oh you lie within.
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind;
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind.
It's a powerful thing,
If you use it well....
And when it's here and it's seen,
It's something else......
Yeah...
Yeah...
Ohh..
Yeah...
The sun's up,
And the surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind;
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind.
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;

Curious Presence

There was a presence, close to me,
With soft-like sounds no more,
At first, a solemn mystery
Until I could be sure...
And then a lone wolf dead ahead,
From nowhere, now in sight,
Such that there was a sense of dread,
A chill that led to fright...

And yet I sensed the danger passed,
As if there were no harm,
Its curious presence there at last,
No mutual alarm...
No fear from me, no fear from him,
Just co-existence now,
Living souls, with each a pilgrim,
With peace our silent vow...

He looked at me, his coat aglow,
His eyes like dogs I owned,
Perhaps that's why I let him go,
His future life condoned...
With ears on high, transfixed above,
Alert to all around...
Though times were hard and life was tough,
A vision to astound...

Denis Martindale, copyright, August 2012.

The poem is based on the magnificent painting
by Stephen Gayford called 'Curious Presence'.

What A Heartache

I thought I saw the promise of forever in your eyes
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall
What a heartache you turned out to be
Chorus:
What a heartache, what a heartache
Love aint always what it appears to be
What a heartache you turned out to be
I thought Id found a safe and lovin place inside your heart
And I was warm and willing anytime
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet
Were lyin from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine
What a heartache you turned out to be
Chorus:
What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
Bridge:
It just goes to show that you never can tell
I really thought that I knew you well
I still cant believe I could be deceived so easily
Are all these wishes Im wishin to myself
Like rusty coins in a wishin well
Wishes come true, they come false as well
Its too late for you and me
Oh, what a heartache, ooo, what a heart break
Love is two-faced and easy to believe
Chorus:
What a heartache, ooo, what a heartache
What a mistake to think I could believe
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

Just Call Me Lonesome

(words & music by rex griffin)
Why must I love a heartless woman
Who never knows the harm shes done
Though love is blind I should have known
Just call me lonesome from now on
I climb the stairs up to my room
But no-one greets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
These walls will hide me when I cry
I hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope has gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
Just call me lonesome from now on

Echoes Ride The Night

Owls hoot, and bats fly blind,
As darkness fills these lands.
Spookiness, a weird kind
Sets trembling in the hands.

The moon peeps through bleak cloud,
To light earth’s dark domains.
Whistles shriek, screeching loud,
From distant racing trains.

The echoes ride the night,
Troubling our anxious souls.
Then as the skies turn bright,
One’s sanity patrols.

Why is it we feel fear,
When all is inky black.
We’re scared when things aren’t clear,
And nervous of attack.

Bats and owls have no dread,
When daylight fills the miles.
They go to sleep instead,
Inside their domiciles.

Taiyed

Returning from the water cold alive and shining
Rock a mic in the afterlife while your moon is rising
Heatin' up forcing steam whirling to be seen
The dark held stars are the frost of my breathing
Swimming through the darkness I'm a ghostly shark
Developing like a photograph slowly in the dark
The hearafter the action the main attraction
One love in all of this that I'm going after

Now there's fire inside but black space surrounds you
You think "Where oh where am I"
but even your light continues
See through us see a soul we have not yet
Learned to harness see the next world inside it
We are the people of skin who left water
Inside the dark womb inside of our mother
Prone to the beat and vibe of our tribe
We catch the drift and ride moving tides
Out from a love that will keep on burning
Now see yourself to the next world returning
This life an old place we face to live again
What is it to understand the heareafter

Misery (Rhyming Acrostic)

Misery (Rhyming Acrostic)

Mean spirited and so bold
Insensitive and so cold
Seeking solace in the night
Ever avoiding the light
Residing deep in the gloom
You are the princess of doom

The Spine Surfs Alone

Oh look out now
Just between the shoulders
Here it comes -- the spine
Oh look out now
Just between your shoulders
The spine surfs alone
Good times
Oh look out now
Just between your shoulders
What will cure you?
Bacitracin
Campho-phenique
Calamine lotion
Nothing's gonna help you now
The spine surfs alone
So said the rule book
As it was written, it will be
The spine surfs alone

Another Year Has Gone By

Today’s pleasures have no motion
Life’s delights are lacking emotion
The air is still…there is no flow
Each minute of time awkwardly slows

I have no appetite for my favorite food
Emptiness invades my uncertain mood
Performances that entertained now bore
A silent presence opens a closed door

Three years ago, on this date…time stopped
The paralyzing pain I felt cannot be forgot
Today’s the anniversary of the day he died
A rush of memories… both good and bad collide

Repressed thoughts surface…in black and white
The sun gives light… but it seems like night
A shadow follows me as I continue on my way
Gradually darkness fades…tomorrow is a new day

Dead Lights' Lies

Something, anything, anywhere
I’m scared, shut off, closed in
In a darkness to heavy to bear
That is where I will sing

It is a song of sadness
Loneliness but also braveness
In this dead light my fear I must suppress
I’ve my life, my hope and soon I shall impress

A star I see so far away
Is it my hope, my lights first sign?
Will it keep this darkness at bay
Will it show the way, will it shine?

Eyes that show a soul
Voice that melts this cold
A life to fill this black hole
A presence that cannot be sold

All songs must end
The sun will always rise
Even if pain is what darkness will send
Never fall for the dead lights lies

Lonely I Remain

This silent night just has become even more silent. The presence of darkness appears to be even more present. The beauty of life is supposed to be by experiencing it. This so called beautiful life is losing its beauty because my life is losing its shine.
Nothing is beautiful anymore in this universe. Fading I am into darkness because no girl is willing to love and care about me. It feels as if I am a weeping child, with no place to call as home. Dreaming I am and not finding any love. Lonely I remain.

Darkness Of...

Darkness is not the darkness of night
it is the darkness of mind and soul.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of discrimination between poor and rich.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of dishonesty.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of aggravate.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is darkness of corruption.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of indiscipline.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of animosity.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of inveterate.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of perjury.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness that we all brought up inside us,
so, light the lamp of light inside you...

Boom-boom, Lonely-hearts are in Gloom Hums a Red Flamingo

Eek! On the moonless sky, grey clouds are ashen and sober;
Trees are swaying helter-skelter with leaves tousled and sere
As west wind drives the minute nature in a conspirative plot,
voodooed by an autumn night, a lonesome pine in an orphic thought.
Jibber, jabber joo! Wig, wiggly woo in lonely flu - boo hoo!
Boom-boom, Lonely-hearts are in gloom hums a red flamingo.

Gee! In a deserted and isolated lonesome valley, I met my ally;
while Ploughing a lonely furrow, I caught him - a nervous Nelly;
His soul is a tattered cloud and his heart is a battered sea
As tender sapling in him is not watered, oh, I met him in me.
Jibber, jabber joo! Wig, wiggly woo in lonely flu - boo hoo!
Boom-boom, Lonely-hearts are in gloom hums a red flamingo.

hardy-har-har! My whole world went black with air looked black,
Sun looked black; I laid in bed and stared at room walls dark,
Outside I still always appear bright with a mask, Ooh-la-la
Hoodooed by single crow I remain in a pitch dark inside, blah!
Jibber, jabber joo! Wig, wiggly woo in lonely flu - boo hoo!
Boom-boom, Lonely-hearts are in gloom hums a red flamingo.

Hoot-hoot! It's loneliness that makes the brassiest noise
Without any voice, it tomahawks lonely-hearts, oh dear boys;
Before it bites, even rattlesnake warns you in a chiller-thriller;
Alas! Without any sound Lonely Cyclops burns you - a whale killer.
Jibber, jabber joo! Wig, wiggly woo in lonely flu - boo hoo!
Boom-boom, Lonely-hearts are in gloom hums a red flamingo

Just a heartache

It's just a heartache
Just a heart break
My world is ending
My life is blending
It's just a heartache
Just a heart break

It's just a heartache
Just a heart break
I know he was not the one
He was only in for the sun
I couldn't control my heart
It was too smart
Love is an art
It's just a heartache
Just a heart break

It's just a heartache
Just a heart break
Your ego was growing
My love was flowing
Your love never started
My love was charted
Your smile shined
But your eyes were lined
It's just a heartache
Just a heart break

It's just a heartache
Just a heart break
Now I know love is sacred
And that you can't usually break it
I learned that there is love
It floats in like a dove
It's just a heartache
Just a heartbreak

It's just a heartache
Just a heartbreak
My head is ringing
My love is singing
I told my heart quit
And for it to sit
It's just a heartache
Just a heartbreak

It's just a heartache
Just a heartbreak
My world may be ending
My life may be blending
Bu he wasn't the one
he only wanted sun
So i have to let is go
I have to let my pain flow
It's just a heartache
Just a heartbreak

It's just a heartache
Just a heart break
My world is ending
My life is blending
It's just a heartache
Just a heart break

My Best Neighbors

my best neighbors
are those that do not mind me
though
there are times when our paths
cross
and so we say hello
just that
and then we go back to our
own preoccupations
our poetry our short stories
our dogs
and chickens and our higher
fences this time
our roofs do not meet
our garage gates do not face each other
our plants are different
we never want to have the same lawns
our fruit trees do not bear fruits at the same
that would be an insult
(how crazy have we become?)
their cars do not make any honks
we keep this silent agreement
this noiseless world we live in
this mind your own business thing
when it rains so hard
we do not open our windows and look outside
(are we afraid to see our sad faces?)
we are what we are
we do not even know each others' names
how cruel
and yet how peaceful.

Mask of My Heart

As the cloud went to black
We lost our way back
As the sun set to night
No smiles of something bright

Lonely the moon bounced the starlight
When blood became cold as frostbite
Bleeding inside till black from red
Let the honesty fainted bed

They broke words of silent voices
Without harm with many chances
Never to see the truth
Nor then to face the truth

All remained invisible sight
Black blocked the white to face to light
Broken the heart of smiling face
When sense was gone no eyes to gaze

It turned into the silent noise
Black without smile and cheer but voice
Whispering tears dropped inside heart
It hurt it broke Mask of my heart

Feel the dark

Feel the dark, black as coal
and soft as velvet,
beneath your fingertips
Dark is upon the night

Darkness all about me
In my own solemn silence
The silence has substance
As thick as can be

Silence about me
As loud as a scream
In a nightmarish dream
It can terrify me

Silence has a feel
Of darkness in silk cloaked
As a desperate cry being choked
Phantasmic, yet real

As Quiet surrounds me
The silence has substance
The absence of presence
is deafening to me

Those sounds of silence
Cry out to those who seek
The companionship of shadows.

A vast endless vacuum
Of blackened day,
I am sucked into an existence
summoning the cold from the depths

Where darkness looms over,
It cradles me in comfort,
Blankets me with security.
Released from the mares that haunt the mind

And taken in by them
The shielding shadows of the dark,
I am embellished with life anew
And unleashing the fear the light kept hidden.

Away from the solitude reaped
By the scars of wounds that bite.
In a playground of discontent
with creeping shadows

In an asylum of euphoria,
Under the veil of darkness
Do I smile and frolic,
Soothed by the kiss of night.
