Eyes So Icy Blue

Time spreads apart many crests of a wave
Flow in cadence falling on sandy shores
Wash away any trace our souls to save
Even our footprints vanish mine and yours

Eyes shine like liquid stars so icy blue
Blind almost so pale in color make ghosts
Bumps up against darkness' glittering hue
Where deep green sea meet at the coasts

Forever drowned in a dream when each breath
A stench of decay mists into my breast
That what leaves behind after cheating death
Through rocky portals swirl a life compressed

A dank stormy night face a mighty sea
When gulls are crying and laughing at me

About this poem:
A sinking feeling to describe the smell of death washing up upon a stormy shore as it conjures up fleeting images of time and mortality for 'who knows who we really are' when our whole life is only like footprints found in the sand...... here today and gone tomorrow......

MY LIFE FULL OF CHANGES ------(WORTH READING)

some times I sit and ponder
and then I wonder
how my life changed so fast
my only good memories are of the past
yet the present is filled with pain
love and happiness are down the drain
I'm 24 but I've been through more then most my age
I was even thrown in jail and put in a cage
I lost all that i held dear
I cant remember the last time I had a good year
with each painful passing second i prey for the end to be near
death is something I will embrace and never fear
I dont know how many times I can fall and then rise
life is supposed to be a gift but to me its a prize
because its nothing but a battle and not everybody wins
im not innocent I have committed many sins
but that doesn't make me bad because i do great things
yet torture is all this life brings
our actions define who we are but the choices we make will shape our path
it seems every corner comes a new tragedy like im cursed with a wicked wrath
wishing i can change what is written in stone
but its impossible to change the past so i sit here alone
i can see nothing but hardache
this is more then my heart can take
pearls of wisdom gained threw the years
so im stronger now with no fears
except being transparent,unnoticed,and lonely
so i say my final farewell deserted,abandoned,and forsaken but never phoney

You think Hell is fire

Where souls eternally burn

Well Hell is here on Earth

This place I call home

Unholy Night

I'm death and I am at your side, your very sick and I'm waiting for you to die, to take you to a place, but not of eternal rest. They're just about to strap you in and throw the switch, the lights will go dim and you will fry for your sins, is their a God? Is what your thinking. You will feel your punishment today and always, murderer of innocents. I'm not God, for their will be no forgiving, for the lives you took and parts that you've taken, your personal trophies that you brag about to the press. You didn't know that I wasn’t Impressed, watching your flawless efforts, with no mistakes, killer of children and I couldn't wait. Time to die and you seem so brave, think I will give you just a taste of me, as I touch your head and watch you squirm like the others before you my friend, now look at you with tears in your eyes asking God to forgive you, as you scream at the top of your lungs as they gag you to shut you up; take a good look at me, for I am Evil in all of men. I will eat you up and spit you out, just to do it over again, for my own pleasure and your pain, you will never rest for all eternity, you punishment shall be your own doing, you'll be cut to pieces just as if your alive and stripped of your skin, while you choke on your own blood. Believe me I'm going to take great care, just as you did to all those young ones who suffered under your blade. Time is 11:59 pm, just a minute to go and their will be no phone call for you, cause this is your fate, you belong to me now and all I have to do is wait. The switch has been thrown and you vibrate like a leaf in the wind, now that your here, let me be the first to welcome you, my new friend

Life's Many Whys

how long must the "whys" of life continue to burden my mind
how long must I search for answers I can not find
so tired of living this life as a fighter
the sunshine does not seem to make my life brighter
my words seem to fall on deaf ears, so I sigh
it seems that the world would prefer me to lie
I die and I live, I try and I give
but try as I give, I just die as I live
my words speak my life, yet my life is not heard
for word upon word only sounds so absurd
prepared I am not, yet prepared I remain
saddened, for I must prepare for this game
tired, I sleep, I study, I eat
I walk through the street, yet I dare not to speak
where am I, I ask, a stranger long lost
so many wrong turns, at such a great cost
you hear what I say, yet my words move you not
my language is lonely, this speech I must stop
the stories I've told, of joy and of loss
so many warm souls on my path did I cross
I wish just to sleep, to just dream without end
I hear no response to the questions I send
so lonely, so lost, I dare not to move
this game I don't like, for I'm destined to lose
a smile seems so far, with these tears in my eyes
my mind remains burdened with life's many "whys"

Buchenwald concentration camp, visited 3rd Sept 91

In sullen September travelled I,
where the weary Salle wanders by
Shiller's rich and famous town,
softly skirts Wiemar's green lit forest gown.
This day, the rain was dreary set,
past days the reign was terror set,
whence rose the phoenix of cant hypocracy!
from social new-found democracy!
To taint with blood the virgin snow,
Aryan spitits unleashed did freely flow
with inglorious passion, bereft of God,
made carnage where humane foot once trod;
as death became the fodder of the day,
proud religion, unlamented, swept away
by those in borrowed plumes, furnish
spurious tears and arrant falsehood garnish,
to pleasure rape differing cultures' worth,
in proud pretence, a new cleansed earth
flew with vultures, drunk with low desire,
scorched the sacred earth with wanton fire,
'carte blanche' deeds, fatal hand disperse
heaps of dust that once a coloured universe;
for sadly lies amid this lush forest's shade
mountain of human ashes, religious rites unpaid.
Dull burns the sun in all of its disgrace,
whose pitying sky dons grey its veiled face,
through the reckoning shadows of infamy,
once human dregs, now immortal ghosts of history.
Pray, pray here, soft dew and rain bestow
tears enpugh to make the sweetest roses grow.

About this poem:
I worked with my son for a period of time in East Germany, my son, jovial by nature, one would here his laughter long before one saw him, we on a rainy Sunday, visited Buchenwald, the ewperience left him mute for three days, alas we of my generation protected our children from the horrors of humanity, sadly the passing years have done little to eradicate the cruelity of war.

Too Late For Forgiveness

Time keeps ticking, moving on
Onwards slowly marching
Only now I know too late
Love is broken, fleeing
And hiding in dark of night
There is no forgiveness
Even when on bended knee
Forgotten is but not forgiven
Only then do we really see
Running fast and running scared
Flames burn ever brighter
Orange sparks fly in the sky
Roses that bloom by light of moon
Gone are lover's promises
In time all is forgotten
Visions come to those who seek
Evening abounds in melody
None are wise only blind
Erudition may give the answer
Stillness throughout the night
Silently last breath drawn

The Black Book

I needed you like a child need its father
I promised you my life , my soul ,And you didn't bother
I've changed my ways ,I've changed the way I wear
I've even changed the color of my hair
Had so many days and nights waiting for your calles
Holding up my phone , so it wont fall
And you did all of this to need you even more
How Can I write what i feel ,
I already have your black book
Yes , You're bad as it look
And no you can't change , you were born this way
You were born to break this heart & this soul
I read you , like I read your black book
You're full of lost letters and full stops
I hate your pages and your covers
You're just a book to me , That i can thru in fire
But the worst thing ever ,
Is that , You're my lover .

rain sunday very sad

dig up this grave for me my friend.
if only you seen what i seen.
rain sunday a little girl in a grave.
her daddy beat her into pieces today.
she only knew nothing else to say.
her daddy shot her his secret took to her grave.
but i knew the truth sick people should die in vain.
rain sunday a little girl died destined to heaven to stay.

stillness

im trapped in a stillframe.
not just a home but a name.
never moving just standing still.
there's no touch how can i even feel.
there's only darkness nothing is real.
just me alone just standing still.
