POETRY FROM AUTUMN SOMETIMES

 

As the Night Falls

These twisted and games played and strange

Like flowers are wilting and black coffin grim

In five pieces cut razor and sharp dark kissing

Needles poking prodding exploring and return

Only to leave like Indian summer and moonlight

Winds and words breath on a crisp autumn field

Lie with me forever and we will rotate with the world

And dry tears rolling memories down my face

So cold and temporary eternity and reflections in mirrors

That never stand still but capture moments snapshot but gone

When hands fall deaf to you touch

When eyes go blind and retreat again

Then I will rest solitary and still again again

Once more not again but yes and truth

And lies are told internal monologue

Kiss me with out your there

Like blacklight bright in translucent haze

And slowing slowly fading away

Till one day you are gone

Sirens blaring in cold like September wind

With agony so pure orgasmic torment

Like wounds and deep the lacerated skin

The heart cold the mind dormant

Shrinking to heaven’s gates and pure

Dark as night while the moon glares at me

I see you in clouds

As the night falls

 


Dancer

As she dances through the light dancing with her

In symmetry, a symphony, as floats across the floor

With rhythms almost tribal as our lonely souls collide

In a moment, in an instant and I see it in her eyes

Her movements are so fluid she is liquid on the floor

And I catch a glimpse of heaven as I catch a glimpse of her

And she is swaying to that rhythm

Of my racing heart now pounds

Poetry in motion to the trans-hypnotic sounds

Lost in this perfect moment when our eyes connect

Everyone else just disappears

And only she is left

 

 

Glimpse

Screaming silently

Peering

Avalanche falls of emotion

We glared

Engaged

Danced with each other

In each other’s realm

Momentarily

For a split second we were in Paris under the moonlight

And the rest of the world melted, morphed, transformed

Into a pillar

A pedestal for you

Covered in ivy and blossoms

The hand moves

The moment passes

You look away

And I close my eyes again


 

Hiding or Lost?

Through heartache turmoil tossed and stressed

Though I scream to my demons to take all the rest

To render me blind though my heart tends to find

That I am safer hiding in loneliness

So I silently scream what is real and what is dream

Were do nightmares begin and days end

When the ones left behind are the ones who have died

I will hide in my journal again

I will write and I bleed and feel primal and freed

But this paper is my only salvation

Love is a mongrel in the night

That does not know wrong from right

Ready to snap in devour who ever

Like a dog on a beach

With no tags or a leash

In the most horrible stormy weather

Though may take it in

Over and over again

No one said it would last forever

So I scream once again with a paper and pen

I will rip out my heart and then eat it

Just to prove this to you

That my heart bleeds for you

Thought I know you never will see it

 

 

 

 

Charlotte Sometimes Part 1 & 2

(Part1)

Some times she is beautiful

Like a flower in the rain

Sometimes she is vulnerable

As she hides herself in shame

Sometimes she’s angelic

When she whispers through the room

Sometimes she does not realize

How she makes my heart swoon

Sometimes

Sometimes

And I want to be her savior

Her true and only love

I want to heal her bleeding heart

I want to watch the sunset

And hold he till the ‘morn

I want to be forever to her

And never to the world

But I have to settle for sometimes

When I catch a glimpse of her

Sometime

Sometimes

Sometimes I dream at night

That we have kissed a thousand times

Sometimes when I see her

I feel my heart go blind

Sometimes I wish she’d hear my words

And hang on every line

But for now I am only me alone

And she is only Charlotte sometimes

 

 

 

(Part 2)

 

Sometimes flowers die returning to the earth

Sometimes mothers cry at their newborn baby’s birth

Sometimes love is fleeting

Like the autumn leaves that turn

Sometimes a candle may go out

Though a fire still may burn

Some times I sit in solitude

And curse the sky above

Sometimes I cry a tear of joy

When I think about our love

Sometime

Sometimes

Forever was to permanent

For an angel such as you

So I will savor every moment

That I got to share with you

Sometime

Sometimes

Sometimes I lay awake at night

And the wind sounds like you

Whispering to me in words

That say I miss you too

Sometimes love may come and go

But true love still remains

These times I realize your still here

To help me through this pain

Sometime

Sometimes

Some times I have to thank you

For opening eyes once blind

Sometimes I feel you are with me now

My savior Charlotte

Sometimes…
