Polaris

Folder: 
Light and Dark

A solitary star

Distant and cold

Amid a universe of shadows

 

It shines alone

Small and white

It glows alight

Clean and bright

On its own tonight

 

Near the horizon

Resting between heaven and earth

War

The dream

Always the same dream 

A sun covered in blood 

Over a field of grey

Lifeless thousands 

Innocents where Death took them

Now waiting for judgement

Waiting to judge

Blackness with a red star

Shining down on the aftermath 

Death has a large appetite 

Its jaws bite down on all

Gnawing on their inanimate bodies

The dying are crying out against it

But their life is but a candle in a breeze

Soon to extinguish

They were but innocents 

Caught in the crossfire

But not I

Too long have I fought this war

Come Hades, come quickly old friend

My time is near 

And I am tired

Take me

Treading Water

What's the purpose in this life of mine
To keep swimming in an ocean without end
The tide pulling me far from shore
They say I'm fine
That I'll survive
But I'm only human
My strength is leaving fast
How long can I stay afloat?
I sink into nothing
A world where I can't breathe
Fire within but water without
Suffocating
Floating
Flying
In poisoned air
Finally a dream come true
A never ending dream
Isn't life beautiful?
It is now...

Philosophy of a Life-song

If your life was a song,

what would it sing?

Would it's lyrics edify?

Will it speak of the many people who's 

lives were touched by your existence?

Is it going to show that you stood for something?

Compose a motif that others will want to replicate.

Intimacy (In This Moment)

Folder: 
To My Wife

Lost in this moment

The warmth of our bodies make us sweat

The stiffness from what we have just accomplished

You and I,

A miracle

Your breath invites me in

Into your heart

Into your mind

Into your very soul

As our bodies mesh into one

As our souls embrace each other

You sigh as I touch you

Ectasy as we unite

Swirlling vortex of pleasure

Both of us lose sight

As life is created within you

As death is passed on through me

A miracle is created

A mirror of that moment

When we came together as one

Life Armored

Folder: 
Prose Poetry

 

The soft constant thud of heartbeat 

I melt like dark chocolate so sweet

Wrapped in the comfort of white plush pulse.

Not teddy bear

Not the soft fur of the baby dogs

Ah, the quiet gentleness of my hubby.

I see so little 

I hear so little

I comfort in so little.

Road warrior I am; cold and armored to battle the insanity of this mad world

The quiet comfort of the hotel guest above

And the loud scrambling comfort by the quest next door

Both of which is wish to never know.

I know my life no more

Taken on its own life existence 

One that is lonely, cold, and filled with the silent screams in my head.

I so want to be wrapped in the tender white plush pulse of my real life

The soft whisper in my ear 

The most tender kiss on my forehead

The warmth of your arms tight around me.

Protect me from this insanity.

I leave the armor in the limo ready and waiting for next week.

Hold me tight. Don't let go. Let the world scream by without us. 

"I love you now and forever,"
