WOULD YOU NOTICE?

, , , ...

WOULD YOU NOTICE?

Would you notice the heavens crying
when evening stars are falling?

Would you notice the crocodile tears
as the lake meets the ocean?

Would you notice my heart beating faster
when you are in the room?

Would you notice I was missing when
my heart was packed and gone?

Would you notice heaven calling
night after night?

Would you notice the waves upon the ocean
and the distance of the seas?

Would you notice my heart bleeding
as hopes drown as I cry on my knees?

Or would you take for granted another nights
sky filled with many stars

and not even notice that one was missing?

I CRY

, ,

I CRY

your tiny hand in mine as you entered this world
you were joy to me and I could not help but cry
when you deceived me so I wept so agreived
at the thoughtlessness of your lie

the quiet sobs of weeping
the salted shadows that falls from windows pain
and there always will be one, shedding crocodile tears
when in life something you seek to gain

or Job's tears that adorns the ladies neck
tear shaped beads that enclose the seeded kernel
and a single tear drop the heart it so can fracture
while love at ends time is wiped away eternal

so I stood under heavens roof
as dew drops melted with the rain
while I cry from my soul the ache of hurt
and I cry life's song from which I cannot refrain

"Deceptive Voice of Darkeness"

, , , ...

"Deceptive Voice of Darkeness"

If I suicide.
as the dead dance their waltz thru
Cutting is freedom

deceptive the minds slayers that so suggests

My life continues it's march
why my soul must be so black
I cry soundlessly

deceptive the voice that sings its lullaby

as I cry alone.
leaves of broken, shattered glass
As the tears drip down

deceptive the freedom burning red

black hole that engulfs
stifled by all the ennui
I will die alone.

deceptive the temptress that lures

blackest blackness falls
Hair hides eyes from sight.
as the dead rise and beckon

deceptive fear rises in hope to gain control

Silent streams of blood
I'm filled with disillusion
and must weep for the born

deceptive chains that seek to bind

I am so alone
Bleed out eternal darkness
Now I cry alone

deceptive joy that fills the void

The more I struggle
And I will never see light in daylight hour
My only hope dies

deceptive that hope is gone

Tears of blood rain down
agony too deep to hold
brooding silently

deceptive calls sweeter still that I might not ignore

alone in the dark
I wait, alone, I wait, I wait

deception your name is Satan

LAUGHTER RISES

, , ,

LAUGHTER RISES

the corner of her lip curls
and begins to produce an auditory sound
manifestation of joy
ti's the brightness of day
that shines through the night

that sound that makes one brave and bold
that sound that unclouds fear of man
that sound that gives myrth of a story untold

transforms the sorry heart
the secret of longevity
that culminates the period that marked

be on your guard laughter of antiquity
for you will find some will reject
you as educated insolence

but triumphant your joy and deep
is your sole the release of magic
that makes your being whole

sudden glory that rises deep within
so what be the cause for such cachinnation
that which may sound exultantly at my success
or bitterly at the failure laid to ground

pure joy unrestrained or
the lack of skill that bursts forth untrained
at the demise of character in another

defuses potential conflict,
disjointed qualities that trespass
against the essential spontaneity of life

brings the life of expression
laughter rises, for it must!
that infects the once held in remission

WHAT IS POETRY III - Nothing New Under The Sun

, , , ...

WHAT IS POETRY III - Nothing New Under The Sun

What is Poetry when there is nothing new under the sun
A partial formulation of ambiguity
the expression of man
so heightened is the vocabularly

Celebratory words of emotions of events
a dramatic narrative of feelings that must be told
and in that moment savored
as the words begin to unfold

A battle of ideas contained not within
a single frame of mind
but rather the sum of all life
since the beginning of time

Words, words, words from where will you come and
overflow the words and fill these pages
express the joys of life
and the heartache within that rages

A tryanny of souls beg to be expressed
organic - free from human waste
without additives or radiation that
pollute to cherry pick the chaste

MIXED EMOTIONS

, , , ...

MIXED EMOTIONS

For with life's breath
comes deep abiding joy
that brings with it birth pains
and those who seek to destroy

"It's a wonderful life" I know
for the movie titled
the seeking of love for
which we feel entitled

but as we walk the soil
so many have trod
we find those who heart
of ill only seek to rob

We gain a friend
but enemy's mount
as loves cry calls
from the Saviours fount

One gives grace to
another but reputation
torn and wounded as
evil sends its deputation

Then gentle voice taps softly
and gives a moments pause
softly at your heart it raps
reminding of eternity's cause

Locked between mixed emotions
as you realise you have taken
your eyes off the Father
pure love momentarily forsaken

Tossing - turning all of
life's complexity and within
the created image found
you realise anger was the sin

So loose yourself in the
Father's house - abide there still
silent listen with intent
and drink there until.....

renewed and mind is clear
and air becomes refreshed
as all hurt feelings
are sorted and so fleshed

retreat, retreat to
protective cover as
recall grace often giv'n
now shown to you - discover.......
