A lonely voyage
with direction lost
when out of the fog
she appeared

Stranded in deep waters
when into my path
she steered

She captured my vessel
taking me aboard where
she fed me her stolen
delights

Now with my Pirate Queen
I'm sailing the seas..
we vanish into
the night..

Sorry children, but it's all true..
On December 15,2012 it's all going
down..
At 7:00am. when you walk out to your
front porch to pick up the morning
paper in your slippers the sky will
be an errie red..
You won't think to much of it til you
hear strange sounds getting louder from
beyond the hill..
You shut your door and peer through the
keyhole and you can make out strange
creatures bounding accross the fields..
Hundreds of them..no..thousands..
In a minute you can make out the forms
charging like lighting..
They are vicious hounds from hell with
red eyes and dripping saliva blood..
Suddenly, a clap of thunder shakes the
earth and lighting splits your neighbors
house in two..
You notice that a few of your neighbors
have begun to drag the streets like zombies
and their eyes have been burnt out of their
heads..
You run to the phone to call your husband at
work but the line is dead..and so is he.
Meteorites begin pounding the earth and hail
stones weighing 700 pounds are crushing
buildings like match boxes..
The earth has shifted off it's axis and the sun's
radiation is burning all plant life like tinder..
The moon has cracked apart and the stars are exploding in violent colors
People are coming up out of their graves and trying
to sell you a life insurance policy with low premiums..
You watch the weather man on TV turn into some green
slime and then pop like a bubble..
Your bottom lip begin to drip down on your big toe
and you notice that the cat has run off with your
breasts..The mailman knocks on your door and when you
answer he's nothing but a skull with snakes running
through his eye sockets
You vomit in his face and he thanks you..but still delivers
the mail..
Soon the hounds of hell are tearing your house apart
and their salva is an acid burning holes though the sidwalk..
Vultures with hellish screeches and wings seventy feet wide
begin snatching up bedazed towns people and soaring them up
into clouds of fiery ash
More mutants rise from the dead and grow wings
Flying at sonic speeds..
You begin to feel your body change into deaths
breakfast
You have become super strong and you run down the street
and rip the neighborhood bully's head off just for kicks..
The earth splits in half and you ride into deep space on what was left of your peaceful habitat
The world is now only 300 feet wide and a confused duck along with your mother-in-law blazes into the
eternal night
The moon? Gone.
Your new lawn mower? Zip
The hot chick chick you were
dating? She's history.
Welcome to 2012!

Well.. she's neither here nor
there I guess, but she could
be..
I mean..well..that could be a
good quality!
I'm fixin' the car and she's
doing this thing with her
lipstick
Her lipstick melts on my new
white shirt but do I get angry?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Why? Because her smirky little
grin got me all buttered up
A push over you say?
Mabey..
We drive to the beach..
We frolic in the sand like
fools
I rip off my shirt Hulk Hogan
style
It fails to make an impression
on the local beach bums
But I don't care because I have
my lil' yellow rubber duck
It's just me, the girl, and
this crazy duck
Have I been drinking?
Of course not!
I was born this way
Surely you must be thinking,
'This guy took a wrong turn,
mabey when he was nine or
something..'
All theories shall be reviewed..
But the real kicker is that this
chick actually likes me green
socks and all..
My ideal woman!

I am everywhere
Wherever you go
I know no nationality
I have no real foes

I speak in many tongues
And yet speak none
You hear me quite often
Tho you think silence has won

I have bought nations together
Not set them apart
You was born with me
I'm naturally in your heart

In different ways I speak to you
In different ways you hear me too

You think you can escape me but you can't
Forever in your mind
One way or another
In your mind
I always chant

What am I?

What words does a poet
Lay down on paper when
All feelings of desiring love,
Have dwindled to nothing?

When all passion within the heart
Vanishes replaced by voids, hollowness,
And bitterness?
When the wounds have healed,
But the heart will not soften
To allow new love?

When love's soft welcomed touch is
No longer; and hatred dominates
Peaceful thoughts to the point
Of wanting to bear arms to
Keep a hardened heart safe from the
Knifes edge, called Love?

When anger stirs so violently
The mind wants explode from
Within the confines of it's
Skeletal prison;
The heart so cold, dead,
That the soul screams to no ears;
Soften heart, be of stone no more!
Allow love to enter, shield
Youself NO MORE!

Violetly falling to
Knees screaming, cursing the
Foundation the walls were
Built for! Hating the lost love
For the toll it is now taken!

To have the loneliness overcome
By simple love, new and
Welcomed; But the heart screams NO!
Heart,why are you still punishing me?
Why won't the barriers fall?

Tears shed now, not for love
Lost, but for not being
Able to love!
What words to poets lay
On paper, when passion dies?

If only did I know I had just week
Before death holds me in its cold embrace,
Before the black palette of the Beyond
Paints mourning funeral colors.
I would embrace then worldly sun
And let it burn itself, burn up,
I’d open breast of mine wide to the rain
That would be pouring down on me for this last time!
I would then call on motherland’s all sites,
Press me against King David's grave,
See for last time high towers of the Svans
Now crumbling, almost falling to the ground…
I would then climb on bold cliffs on all fours
And kiss the land, feel fragrance of the soil…
It’s as it seems the only time
When the Eternal I would ever feel.
How could I ever leave this place
Without a child that has been torn off breast,
I would go see Abkhazia, dear land, and
In the thoughts I’d thwart the foes’ attacks.
Back to the capital then I would make my way
And feel the breath of old town once again,
I’d kiss its walls, such spots, in which
No soul would even wish to live…
I would then gaily stroll the streets,
Little hands I would be seeing stretched to me,
I would then take them into mine and say:
“I will protect you against killers, evil spell”.
How would I act, if I had only three days left?
Pay visits to the hearths of all loved ones,
Fondle them, embrace, and open heart,
Repent for all the wrong I’ve ever done,
Beg to forgive for whatever I’ve said,
For what I’ve failed to say, for being what I am:
“If I did something wrong, I didn’t mean offense,
There’s never been such thing as sinless man...”
Should our Lord so gracious me permit
Each poem that I’d write would be a gift to each,
A fragment there would be of force I feel,
That has embraced my heart for all the years I lived.
Much feeling, sympathy, a warmth, caress,
There’s nothing else that I could offer, friends.
The part of soul that has survived the death
Is what we value all, regard as best.
And then exactly one day prior to the death
I’d go to place where Lord our dwells,
And take communion… then of my life repent
In no more than two simple phrase.
And in the evening when I am back home
A sadness would take grip on me and hold,
Then I would wish I had in store more days,
If such predicament as this I overcame.
For my dream’s nothing more than a name,
Deeds of honor salvation to gain!
I would hate being dead in a way
That of wishes mere dreams have remained…
I would wish that my Lord should tomorrow
Send salvation Messiah to me…
So that I should fulfill debt of honor
And then die in a way us befits.
Then I wouldn’t feel much regret,
Only pain would then silently flash
When confronted with death’s evil eyes
When the silence absorbs soul of mine.

The day is dull,
My mood is dark,
Your smile softens
this hardest of hearts,
Overcast clouds,
Threating rain,
Your smile brightens
the gloomiest days,
Weight of the World,
Pressure so great,
Your smile makes it
easy to take,
When I close my eyes,
Its all I see,
Your smile means
everything to me...

The sun slowly drifted away and shadows crept in
The air slightly cooler as the darkness deepened
Creatures scurrying to their dens while still light
Others waking up to welcome the dark night

Edge of the world trimmed in pink, purple, orange, gold and red
Like apologizing for the colorless black night ahead
The moon and planets debuting in the sky
With constellations and stars of summertime

Scary ragged black shapes silhouetted against the sky
Reaching upward with crooked branches way up high
Black bats flitting around catching tiny buzzing wings
While a large ground chorus is warming up to sing

A mist on the pond like a low cloud from the sky
Adding a mystic air to the night-time cries
Floating like a ghostly mass across the earth
Providing cover for many night-time critters to lurk

Soon several mixed voices fill the night-time air
Soothing the soul like a bedtime prayer
Open windows inviting the night sounds in
Drifting to sleep by the Lullaby on the wind

As morning sun crept up in the sky
The world and everything in it sighed
The beauty of the glowing warm golden rays
Promised the beginning of different days

The anticipation of a change was in the air
Giving hope that spring at last was here
The grass was turning a different green
Birds sang new songs on the wing

Winter’s scarred landscape beginning to change
Smoothed away gently with a warm spring rain
Sprouts of green were popping up everywhere
Bringing promise of color and thankful tears

All the colors of the rainbow were seen
Across the landscape a most colorful scene
Reflecting the promise God made a long time ago
Of the covenant He would and did on us bestow

One night I saw a shooting star
flashing golden memories
wishing for someone beautiful
just like you babe

Dazzling dreams each night
silver trailing thoughts faraway
looking at the moon face
over and back howling echoes
a soulful plea cries

On this cold winters night
your love is the warmth one needs
deep inside that breathes out
free wild as the breeze blowing
Winds in a thousand whistles speak

Utopia's everything whispers your beauty
one in a million star silently blinks
I have fallen under spells
casting on magic fell in your dust
sailing without wings loving you
