A Single Wish

What would I do if it was bestowed upon me?
Use it wisely, could I save humanity
Would I be selfish, and hope for wealth
What good is money if I lost my health?

Could I save the Planet, turn all to green
No natural disasters would ever again be seen
What of the animals, don’t they deserve a chance?
To survive naturally, no death from mans lance

Would I cure all disease, no more pain?
I will cause overpopulation, not the earths gain
Would I rid our race of all the malice?
No more wars, living in an Ivory Palace

Should I make the Moon shine ever more bright?
No more darkness, just light, bringing sight
What of compassion, could I create this desire?
Would it banish the hate, rid us of our ire

So many choices, so many just reasons
Bring out the Sun, change all the seasons
Make the flora flower throughout the year
Bring happiness to all, no more shedding of tear

I am too indecisive the choice is not free
I now know for me this was not meant to be
I shall wrap it in a box, and send it to one so true
Have I told you today that I love you

Domain

Am I not the king within my virtual domain?
My own demons have I conquered, slain
I have sat in the breeze with gentle Lions
Wrestled the consequences of my own desires
Lived with many ire’s
Do I resent or anger at the greedy beast
He has more, should I have not least
I choose my pathway for I built the walls
That secluded you gaining my entirety
I cannot give you the pleasure of completeness
I remain aloft above the rising cloud of humility
I suffer not from personal ingenuity
For I have stroked the beast of my history
Dwelt in the passages of mental blindness
Broken down the walls within my Jericho
And tamed the Tigers of solitary illusion
I closed the rent, suffered my own conclusion
I built the windows of my sight
I made the castle
I enclosed around the moat
I made myself
For this I shoulder the blame
Nobody else will hold me prisoner
I ask no more than to be allowed to be myself

Why is it some people want you to be what you dont want to be. I made myself and I am happy with that, despite the issues!.

'Fisherman Lost At Sea'

'Fisherman Lost at Sea'

Fisherman lost at sea
You never fear the Ocean
But you Fear me
The Ocean is where you are
Now cast out your Fishing Nets
And share the Catch with me
You are Hungry i know
For knowledge of the Sea
Let it be a lesson to you
Never to Fear me
I am the Spirit of the Sea
I can Toss your Boat into the Sea
But i would never do that to thee
As i know you Love the sea.
You Love the Ocean,you Love the Sea,
You Love Nature and what it might bring to thee
Did you catch anything
I am waiting to see
So bring in your Catch
And share it with me
The smell of the ocean
I bring it to thee
The waves i Hurdle
Against your Boat
But you still Fear me
I can smell your Fear
Because your time is near
To Follow me
Let it be a leson to you never to Fear me
The Spirit of the Sea.
I call upon thee
Never Fear the unknown
It will break you Free.

About this poem:
I found myself so stupid to have loved you. That time my heart said, “Go ahead!” my brain said, “No, hold on!” I ignored my brain; followed my heart and you torn me apart. This time I’ll follow my heart and listen to my brain. And then I’ll learn to love again.

A Pair Of Marble Angels.

Drink from me my Angel
Feel nourished deep within
You shall come my beloved
We shall consumate our sin
We are both marble Angels
Alone within the night
Bodies close together
Within a flickering light
My hands caress your glory
As your hands caress mine
In this night we shall remember
The taste of Loves' sweet wine
Come my sweet Madonna
My flesh your fingers rake
Your lips upon each wound
As my blood once more you take
And now my sweet beloved
Like animals we strike
Your body joining now with mine
Just the way you like
Your lips on mine
Within our empty depths a burning fire
Can this be Love we have
Can It be passion and desire
Yes It Is all these
For we are two of the Vampyre
Gods' vengeance marble Angels
Who cry Loves' blood tear

I Love

Embedded image from another site



I love
many things
a lot of things

It's the kisses
walks on the beach
her personality

I love
time spent with her
the smell of her hair

I love
lots of things
the way she

does for me
do so love
I love

the way
she loves me....

Unforgiven

While morning 's light creeps silently
through the ivory curtain,
She awakens to the sound
of a red winged blackbird,
singing a haunting song of promises to come.
She reaches over and entwines
her fingers through his,
and contentedly listens to him breathe.
And as she watches him sleep, so blissfully unaware,
she bites her lip and wipes a way a single
tear.,
She quickly dresses and lets her self out,
Without so much as a glance behind her,
Someday it will be different,
she tells herself through tear stained eyes.
She'd almost convinced herself..
That this time she would stay.

Surreal Poem

Embedded image from another site



Last night I dreamed
your eyes were lit
in a world of fire
your kisses struck
like heat lightning
many moons rose and fell
tides pulled the shoreline closer
you transparent as a ghost
and in the heat of this frozen night
we were still there...

You the porcelain doll
eyes that open and shut
words yet to crack
mute rain between us
eyelashes black and shiny
sitting on the edge of the mountain
with just a shallow stare...

My body gliding to you
I try and break through
waves that have become mountains
that cover the pale skyline...

its a dogs life

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----

Its a dogs life
gotta tell you
wearing goggles
like these

so i m frowning
who would nt
this dog dont want
to swim in sea

so i m in a mood
look what its doing
to my appearence
and my street cred

what chance have i
of landing a date
wearing this contraption
they ve gone mad

but i ll get even
lying about
where they can
trip over me

if not the sea
its a snow job
a liberty i d say
making me look this way

it just makes
one barking
super barking
hostile barking mad.

Love Is A Decision

Love is not based on a feeling only
There must also be a clear decision
Passionate feelings may die off early
Showing it was just infatuation

One should not need another as a crutch
But be able to stand on one's feet
This will allow each other space as such
And enrichen the sharing when both meet

A love relationship has its demands
It does not ensure smooth sailing always
Be mindful of this in each circumstance
And it will help you survive the rough days

The one that you love should be your best friend
Someone with whom you can share everything
A person upon whom you can depend
In situations that can be trying

As time passes, both of you will change
For change is inevitable in life
Do not consider this as something strange
Learn to adjust and avoid any strife

True love is the most precious emotion
That a person can engage in sharing
It fills the heart with blissful elation
Giving one's life a rich sense of meaning

About this poem:
"Love is a decision, it is a judgement, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgement and decision."

- Erich Fromm - (The Art of Loving)


“But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”

Kahlil Gibran – (The Prophet)
