Rose
While the asterisk meant repetition
so did the work seem endless
binary was all I could think
a little laugh, till the pulsation in my arms
would last through the nights
by the third night
you'd finally stop crying
I always wondered what kept her going
always able to whip us as a group
even if the men led
this beautiful woman still took lead
by the time we came half way across our fields
she had already turned at the three acre point
four rows on each side and headed for home
i could have sworn she left weeds behind
even when we checked
as kids in dismay would
clean rows, were all she left to show
Up at 3am and out by 4
so many to work and out her doors
always under her wing
with a table incircled by nightfal...
A Multitude of Woes
Yes, there was a time
I was obsessed by melancholy,
I saw deep sadness,
The quality that so tormented
My former favoured idols,
Poets, painters,
Musicians, actors,
Creators of every kind,
As glamorous and romantic,
But it’s not,
It’s not remotely romantic,
When you yourself are adrift,
And weighed down
By a multitude of woes.
...I was chaos
I was chaos in delicate lace,
in satin and taffeta; a pretty face
what they see is what I let
a peek behind; they may regret.
I was chaos in delicate lace,
with smiles charming--- tears no trace
lips with chapstick; smudge on side
nothing but a breathless ride.
I was chaos in delicate lace,
disarray with class and taste
I reek of Chanel and all things sweet,
nothing but a foul treat.
I was chaos in delicate lace,
only but a pretty face
a troubled heart and restless mind,
a woman whose love is always blind.

Dark waters
Memories knotted by a stimulating tread,
images attach themselves to some secret pled.
Tension and liquid courage stirring the night,
graving stimulation already in sight.
Motions that hunt that savage dream,
currents of lost faith never less so keen.
Desired water tainted with old dust,
heritage of fears so agile when combust.
Elements of other lies and its stain,
tincture of believing and acting in vain.
Concealed in subtle unaware and blind,
all enough reason in time and place to find.
Space by ideal may esteem to might,
frames for pictures waiting to come to light.
Undeniable dangerous speculative mind,
reawaken by shades of delusional kind.
Accumulated waters taken on momentum,
rushing towards the fall of sanctum.
...
I hurt in everything
It's day again and again. My heart pounding and straining again, and every moment what existence obscures! The ancestral mercies of mercy are not yet reserved for me! Sometimes a rusty office door squeaks loudly, - the reading of names is heard aloud, in a silence pregnant with murder: the messengers, the philosophical nebulae, the green-eared ones go to execution in order.
The patented buttons of a dressed-up, masquerade suit cracked over me in a cauldron of stifling heat when it came to testifying about the knowledge I had acquired, because one could hardly do anything else! “During the day, glass and crystal palace-shaped tear-balls rolled down like soft and gentle praying screams in the grooves of faces: the immortal vibration of fear artificially aged us to our humiliated moments. It’s as if the secret law of hopelessness on this planet is asking for admission - but n...

Dreaming..
A suspicion arises
Perhaps from a book
Or a voice..or a review
Of a lifetime..Or none
Of these..perhaps
A quiet time with
Everything shelved for
A delicious moment..
Allowing Nothing to
Dawn..with a glance
At the shelf..recognizing...

Vampires
The vampires come out at night
They suck you blood what a freight
Beware of their hypnotic stare
Beware of their bite
Vampires are in flight
Upon a moonless night
For living dead
They create and command
Vampires everywhere no place to hide
One bite from them takes your life
Beware of their hypnotic stare
Beware of their bite
Vampires are in flight
Upon a moonless night
For living dead
They create and command
To Fear
To be powerless
To the situation
That keeps u captive
That keeps u detain
So u don’t fly
Or see the world
That is beyond
The horrible situation
Brother don’t be bothered
By fear
Or it’s seductive sister
Sadness
For u are powerful
Don’t let fear deter ur power.
Exampling
I’ll be exampling what happen
I’ll tell until I figure out when
Or understand the between of here and where
Or until I know what you’re actually asking?
I’ll be exampling what happen
Until I remember what happen, then.
You're never alone
When life seems hard spinning out of control
You feel you have no friends at all
Don't give up, no need to fall
Just remember this you're never alone
When you stand with your back to the wall
You fall to your knees and have to crawl
Never give in, never give up
No matter what this world shows
You're never alone
You're never alone
Someone's at your side
Though sometimes it's hard to see
You're never alone
You do have friends
Who will help in your time of need
Lost you feel like life's unreal
You're at your wits end it seems
Don't get bogged down
You're never alone
You're never alone
Someone's at your side
Though sometimes it's hard to see
You...
