she looked to you to
turn her life the right way round

you gave her Diamonds
and Queened her with an
Upside Down Crown.

The part of my heart that you'd have taken

I know it still there hanging around with your vein

You're the first guy who queened me in numbered days

O God, is this feeling not supposed to be felt?

Maybe you don't remember me again

And live happily overthere absenting my name

But in my universe, you're immortal

But forget me if it makes you better

When the time comes, we will delete each other

As we did for someone came earlier

Have a nice day, my lover

You were, for a moment, my favorite read
Even believed, that, for a moment you were my personal creed
I gave good advise, if you only had listened to my heed
No amount of meed
Can pay back everything and succeed
But my heart it feeds
On nothing it ever needs
These feelings that breed
Nothing I want to feel indeed
Numb my anxiety with all this ****
I can't wait to pass the deed
I'm sweating bullets in constant beads
For my moment in the lead
My beautiful brilliance will be keyed
And my emotions can be freed
I can't wait for that special someone who'll have me queened
:p
First poem I ever wrote where all the ends rhymed.

Can you hear me right now?
My heart is racing but there's surely no sound.
I'm always here but I'm never around.
I'm finally on my feet & you're knocking me down.
Lord not right now, not right now.
Can you trust me right now?
I've Queened you but I forgot your crown.
You're an ocean, I don't want to drown.
My standards are high, you're above the crowd.
Your pictures are screaming, why are you so loud?
Jumping while looking down.
Tried to slide in safe but you're calling me out.
Apology letters from the ones that miss me right now.
Smiles behind frowns, night doubts.

If I day and will I know I will see you again and on that die you will be Queened for as if your not now but there's times and places for all that now continues on as there was not candles and dinnerwork but the salt of your enemys with lemon in air with your body shasted out

Doing anything, late in life, is for the moment.

No duty remains, all shirked, all left undone, long
ago passed down to the next hero's attempt.

Daily reminders from old mail lists, so and so died.

Yeah. So she did, so shall we all. I understand.

Each of us has a while, as each star has a while,
burning out from self's centermost being, shining

distant, single star, single mote lit for my looking,
first star wish, wished, and wished, and wished,

in vain,
at Venus.

-------------------

With myself, alone, listening,
hearing a human ****** interpret a novel,
a told tale of plottable inter-essential new

points of views, from within the author's mind,

seen and said, seen. Look
see the worth of such words, an authority

describing the scene, bringing life from words.

Telling thought shared as if,
if itself, the if in all we must imagine, saying

this is plenty, genug enough, this in us state,
as an awesome thing of many minds, elohimish,

in this atmosphere we breathe in harmony,
as each breath extends the reach of each word…

wouldn't we willingly want wishing work, word
work, daily dues to pay, waking, wishing, will
would
you join the dance?

Did you laugh? Life is all game.

----------------

Slow knowing, seeing guns,

thinking game plotted paths,
rewarding reality with possibilities,

triumphant miniature thrill of victory…

essence of history, we won, we won, we won.

And then, the new formed governing mind,
the officially united, naturally selfish mind

representing those whose national will,
continues to revere the pioneer, pawn

queened, by no more noble cause than,
following the rules used to progress,

across the board, each step a stage
in the game, scaled to seem relatable

to royal rules uses made of lower worth
pieces in the arsenal of this one, black,
against that one, white…

clearly… contrasting points at the edge
of the grayscale, light's own, none to all,

whoa,
look, in broad day light, light
alone, lacks any gray but  
in reflection, none
from our sun.

----------------------

Some axiom from our Hallmarked past,
tells us to hang in there… hold the line,

only find time to filter for wisdom, enough

to imagine making up a mind from nothing,
Helen Keller had touch, imagine a spirit's mind,
intangible,
made up
from mere words as metaphors, holding
thoughts, thoughts called feelings, but not,

thoughts, states of patient grace, thoughts, if

we both think, between each letter, those thoughts

in the realm between us, in the medium of thoughts…

no eyes or ears or fingers, even so, imagine
knowing all the time redeemed for now,
is being used to make us useful, hmmm,

as om, oh my, ahh-ooom, mmmhmmm, soon….

Makes no difference,
we think as if difference is essential,

day by day, difference referring to load,

how worth thinking is a line of reason?

-----------
Behold the happy thought,
hooking hope where no hope was imagined.

What harm? None done, none intended,
none available for take away.
Seemed tuned to some either-real reason for continuing...

A departing sun recedes within the broken souls of nigh

Its raise dispersed across an auburn sunk sky

She burns a once more erupting sigh before her vengeful goodbye

&
A pink tulip nestles near I

Where all the remembered darkness veils my eye

When the ebony tears cuddle my cheeks as  I wail & cry

A star may reveal a floating sigh

For an angel takes me fly

In orange stillness to heal my tears to dry
.


I'm breathing bloodroot

Disfigured ghost's phantom within the neveroot

In the salt of the quiet my eyes dilute


Not for me, this ****** bloodless love

Says I, whilst I lay beneath the pale stars sparkling a beauty above

Like the letters versed to the Queened black dove

I give you my woeful love
.


Sculpted with a faintful smile,
my squeezing lips release into the winds of the reddened nile

Towards dawning bloodshed I paint my exile


A detached labryinth I embrace
&
Within the souls of gloom lies a spirit of grace
.


Now lunar's heart crowns the night,  
cocooned with moon-milk silk but sullen frowns

Though a pain fills my chest
It wont allow my heart to rest

So I lay beside my soul within the swans fallen crest
.


As the crescent jinns await my sins,
I make amends with lost kings
& my dream rebegins
With wings

— The End —
