My pain is self chosen, but at least it all makes perfect sense
Some days my heart feels broken, but my love will never bend
In trivial pursuit of understanding what I'm doing here
Consequently dug the hole so deep I buried all my hopes with fear
Nearly every road I traveled is the remnant smell of a burning bridge
As the choking smoke began to strangle the beating flesh within my ribs
But I never claimed to be a saint nor holier than thou
I'm a man with many wrinkles that I'm not sure will ever iron out
But who I was or where I've been doesn't mean a thing today
I threw away that heavy armor and in naked flesh I will be brave
So that I may be honest with myself and others can see the truth
There I've found the courage to admit my wrongs to you
A deflating soul that learned sacrifice guided by a hardened will
Who have compassed my destruction will feel the cold edge of my steel
Then when our sun as old as time arises for us all to see another day
I'll choose to seize that moment until it forever shines down on my grave

YOUR QUEST

gold hidden 'neath the rugged earth
upon which lay your quest
yet murky and turbid is the dew
that is harvested in a cup of sand
your weakness never sets
over the parched and scorching heat
nor will your strength
ever laid to rest
until you will run out
of your sweats
you will want to know
deep within your heart
why all this land
is covered with blood
and as the world lay witness
and yet mightily unconcerned
to its naked plight

your mind will never fathom
why the rift is burning strong
so you will keep on digging
until you reach the bottom
hoping it will lay bare
all the reasons,
that this blood covered land
is a conflict no more
in the mighty difference
of white and black color
but the gap of those
who have and who don't

the question is...will man ever learn
how to vanish indifference?
give to those that have not
and even out the earth's wealth
so revolt will not explode?

perhaps nobody really cares...
you are alone, abandoned
on this quest..
buried
in a drifting sand
stained with ruthlessness
by the greed of human hand
glued forever
in human blood.

About this poem:
when life beats us with socio economic inequities and cruelty and sadness cripple our very soul...

we just can't seem to have the courage to wade more but yet keeps the flicker of hope alive...

The Universal Poet ( A Challenge, Are u in? )

Embedded image from another site

I Dream of Angels but Live with Demons
Held by Fear within my Precious Bits Of Being
DISOWNED AND ALONE beside My Silent Cries
Inside of a Thunderstorm Somewhere Between The Lies
A Solitary Teardrop became a Countless Lake of tears
A never ending Vicious Cycle of Madness and DESPAIR!
Like Skyping with Satan beyond The Dark Room
To a Million Black Stars to The Poet & Her Muse
He has Magic for Sale, Dragons, and Defeated dreams
A Commitment of Love and Lust hidden with Mysterious Beauty
So shall I DARE TO DREAM amidst Colliding Galaxies
Many Love Well, but are Bowls of Cherries Scattering
But As The Day Arose Into Your Wild World
The Celtic Harp played a TUNE OF THE UNIVERSE
A Tango of Two Hearts in Erotic Shower of Rain
Where The Many Shades of love and Emerald Fire burn upon Your Face
Blowing away the Monster Ash deeply into its Beloved Grave
With my Warriors Journal of Viking Plunder you have written a new page
Kaleidoscoping Square Circles flaming colors unsymmetrical
Even the Grass Sizzles from the passion of a deeper integral
Morñing Wisdom yet revealed its glory by rejecting Scientific Proof
Its the Touching Treasure of Rainbow Highs that Im Fading Into You
Shy The Darkening Cloud of Melancholy oh faithful Winds Of The Night
Into The Song of Universal Poems where I Shall Know How To die
Silently into Your Wild World below your Starry Skies
Or deep into your precious flowers beneath the Liquid Sunset of your eyes

About this poem:
Ive been here a while and not only have I read from a lot of poets here but have made friends with you as well. So I put this together by using just your poem titles so technically you all wrote it. Every line holds one to three titles. It was fun so I thought maybe it would make a good challenge too, but you decide. For me its simply a dedication to you and a thanks for reading my many years of doom and gloom. It helped to "get it out there" as TruRob once said to me.. Many Thanks again, Cheers…Jesse
In the famous song of Legend Bob Marley
"One Love, One Heart,
Let's get together and feel all right…"cheers

Unravelling

I unravelled this “World”
Mile by glorious mile
From the tops
Of every “Goliath”
To the depths
Of each “Ocean”
And it showed me
A new “World”
One of ceaseless wonders
And the threads of
“New life”
Like me, yet
To reach maturity
But that bore
So many bruises
Of indulgence
That you seemed
To scream to me
“Rape me no more”

I unravelled the “Universe”
Galaxy upon galaxy
Until your infinity
Was no longer
Beyond my comprehension
And travelled from star
To star
Planet beyond planet
And every single Moon
Released to me
The font of knowing
And all your mysteries
Became a reality
That my very comprehension,
Absorbed, as if
The “Universe”
Had adopted me
As its “Long lost”
Forgotten brother


I unravelled, “You”
Inch
By desirable inch
Exploring
All of your beauty
Until
You had no more
To yield
And this to me
Was a new “Universe”
Where all comprehension
Came in “Waves”
Of pure pleasure
And “Crashed”
Upon the beach
Of all my being
And my knowledge
Became so much
The greater
For had I now,
Finally reached
That “Maturity”
That we so desperately
Seek
But to me
You still remain
The unfathomable mystery
And out of all the three
“You”
Are the height
Of my ecstasy

About this poem:
I leave you with my swansong, I am taking a long sabbatical to finish my children's novel I started last year and need to get back to to finish. I shall be gone for 6-12 months, but pop in from time to time to read the poems here. I shall not post or comment but this does not mean I shall not enjoy what I see.
I wish you all well and may your future journey bring you all you desire.
Adios para ahora mi amigo's/amiga's

Humanity challenge smmerwind(can do)

Can do!!
As I arise to face a new day
The governments in foul play.
Taxation is a total drain
Crime is a money gain
Pollution clouds my, cell brain
Healthcare is a crying shame
Love is a constant pain
Hatred may never end.

You ask me what I can do,
I measure life as you do to
We can't get away from it
Life is basically, what it is
I can only pursue, my own
Happiness.

Blaming, fighting, fear & pain.
We all know it, there's nothing to gain.
No sense in crying establishment blues
Hunger, disease, poverty, love, hate nothing new.
It only feeds the anger, we fuel
It's human nature, win or lose
Chose not to be like them
Love unconditionally that's your tool.

You ask me what I can do,
I measure life as you do to.
There's only so much, one can do.
When time to give,
gift with a open heart.
A peaceful demeanor,
is a pure start....

About this poem:
Change is slow. Although I (we) contribute, in our own way.
I am a realist!!!. No man is a island!! This is the world we live in....for now!!
Corruption & greed is a crucial part in how we help ,love, respect, & value one another.
Thanks for the challenge smmerwind ,,best I could do...

Learning To Fly

Embedded image from another site

With the determination of an eagle I stand upon the highest cliff
Feeling the wind beneath my wings as I await for thermal lift
My eyes are focussed on the world below, a gentle breeze against my face
As the morning sun consumes the dark I claim this day and all its grace
At the speed of light I freely fall miles above the earth
With my faith flying above the clouds and like a jet my engines burst
My spirit breaks the barriers of sound over shadowed decades of pain
Above empires of decadence I reign through greener fields and grassy plains
Beneath the dirt the coals of hell are rising to burn me from the sky
I may never leave this world behind, but I'm still learning how to fly

Last poem(challenge)

This is my last poem,sad to say,
For today, my friends, I am going away,
On a craft built by other dimensional creatures,
What wild unimaginable indescribable features,
See I put out my thumb and they offered me a ride,
They stopped their spaceship and I got inside,
Wrote a little note to post at poets corner,
"Tony's on vacation eight galaxies over..."

breathless whispers

each breath baited
becomes breathless
when consumed
by another
you dance into
the soul baby

like a summer
waltzing warm breeze
golden begins shining
smiles beaming hot
sprinkling sugar
icing every word
sweetly for you

chocolate kisses
melting onto
your lips
tasting sweet warmness
embracing inside
each others heartbeat

holding desires mouthwatering
blown away feeling
emotions flowing soft
in the springs
of time
blooming heather
exploding color
in the vale

such a gentle
soft caressing
warm summer breeze
lifting feather touches
rippling over flesh
cotton cool
across the skin

dropping air
kissing your
every breath
that you breathe
fresh and free
lovingly whispers
silently upon
a wind stolen
in one heartbeat

My Soul (Paloma Challenge)

My soul seeks its final destination
Is ataraxia so far beyond my vision?
This journey has taken me so long
Psiturism, I sit and await your song
I look upon the clouds of Nacreous pearl
Is my destiny so linked to Cosmogyral?
Do the storms of nature rule my future?
Aeolian! Aeolian!
Let your soothing breath sooth my suture

How long can I live in reminiscence
Am I not to find that eternal bliss?
I know I have scorned to be reverent
But are not my passions so less fervent
Yet the tenuous threads that bind my sin
Seem to me to remain ever gossamer thin

A woman's Heart

Embedded image from another site


When a woman reveals her heart for all to see,
its not to be taken so ever lightly,
for she keeps her treasure very deep within,
Hidden, locked with a magical seal.

Embedded image from another site


May it be jewelleries or not be
May be something not fit for me
A woman's heart got thorns of barb wires
Filled with her full force desires!

Embedded image from another site


There is no passwords to key,
No cheats nor special magical key,
If she reveals them so openly,
Than you better take it seriously!
