Black & White

No sun or moon nor stars that shine
Just misery like black blanket wrapped
Bitterly cold wind howling past
It chills me to the bone

The wind my voice snatches away
Not a soul can hear me scream
The tears that from my eyes fall
Freeze before they reach my chin

My heart that normally thumps so loud
Within my breast is almost still
How much longer can I this endure
Before I'll cease to be

Just beyond the length of arm's reach
The birds in sunshine sing
Lovers walk hand in hand
But you're not here with me

So on I'll go condemned to this
In a world of black and white
Maybe, someday, somehow
Something will break on through

A Sea of Tears!

A Sea of Tears

The World is a sea full of tears

A no man’s land of troubled fears

Upon it’s roaring sea life’s journey

Striving upon tsunami waves high in the sky

To birth, to live, survive and ultimately die

Life’s adventures start at birth

The coin is tossed high up in the evolving sky

To be a no choice embryo

Developing into a amazing woman or a likewise guy

The World doth spin and we are tossed off

Makes one ponder ~ Why

Are we just one of Earth’s tears?

All that is True

All that is true is found in nature
hence,
we learn from observation,
contemplation, and trust.

Behold the sapling,
once rich in color,
vibrant,
now grayed and dying.

Yet we know upon the seasons morrow,
brilliance again reborn,
the sapling, now stable oak,
strength against the storms ahead.

And the storms themselves,
initiating fear into one's soul,
charged with the very essence,
of the creation of life.

And dawn does rise
offering the lingering scent,
reminders of a storm
quietly fading from memory.

Dare you doubt
that when time has
swept the seasons course
that spring birds will sing in garden anew?

We are but nature's gift,
and if not my bed you warm this night,
hold tears for sorrows that are true,
for it is but a season that again I will return to you.

About this poem:
My birthday is coming up so I was looking back from my birth in 1969 to the end of my favorite decade of music, the 80's. The only song I'm not a fan of is The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. If I were forced to pick my favorite from the list it would be When Doves Cry by Prince, with Every Breath You Take by The Police being a close second. Right now my favorite album is Weird Al's new album Mandatory Fun. He is a parody artist and I own all 14 of his albums.

Veronique.

An Angel sent from above,
To give me her Angel Love.

Her Love dwells In my heart,
It has done so from the start.

This precious dove Is mine,
Her Love shall always shine.

Veronique I do adore,
Her Love fills me to the core.

In my night her light I see,
Veronique does mean the world to me.

Always this Love I shall seek,
The Love from my darling Veronique.

Thoughts of You

You were my moment
that moment of "aha"
Destiny I saw
How? Why? Without a flaw
An unwritten law
Of attraction, a distraction
So elegant was the extraction
Perhaps, of dreams and life
Completely free from strife
So effortlessly embarked
The cosmos, which mapped
This journey full of rapt
To the end, the dream
Not believing it’s pretend
The longing, waiting, so long
Be strong, we belong
This composed song
Of words that delight
Brings feelings hard to fight
Emotions from the heart
That plays the complex part
Imagery of art, to start
Flowing like a chart
With passion to impart
The first hello, the voice
I had no choice
Like a tender touch
Filled with such newness
So, so much
Words as soft as breath
Gentle I confess
Thank you for the call
It was like a fly ball
A masked ball
The Wailing Wall
A prayer shawl
My rag doll
Meant to enthrall
A weight-bearing wall
Peace, once and for all
All I can say now
How, my love, how?
The perfect plan
Of just one man
Sharing a dream
Beautiful theme
This is what life is for
Being with the one
The only one you adore
Forever more

No One But He

So much is on my mind these days
I don't know where to start
Agonizing misery
From my soul right to my heart
Loneliness devours me
Consumes my body whole
Everybody watches me
But death's bell will never toll

So I drop to my knees and pray to God
To take my wretched life
I can take this pain no more
There's too much inner strife
There should be but one in this world
Who controls my destiny
Why does it seem that person
Is everyone but me

The choices that I make in life
Lay out my destined path
But for some reason
I cannot do the math
Paranoia grips my mind
And takes me for a ride
Everybody watches me
So I can never hide

So I drop to my knees and pray to God
To take my wretched life
I can take this pain no more
There's too much inner strife
There should be but one in this world
To control my destiny
Why is it that person
Is everyone but me

Bless all the people in this world
That all laughed at me
I will show them all one day
What I'm going to be
No longer will I bow to them
The gods they think they are
They thought they had extinguished me
But I'm a shining star

So I stand up with my head held high
Ready to face the world
I've endured all the strife
That has been unfurled
There is but one in this world
Who controls my destiny
now I know that person
Is no one but He

Pride is a Virtue unlike the Valor of True Love.

I am so in Love with her God,
For she is the light of my day and glow through my long night,
She is my lady of Luck in theory and woman of Fortitude in reality,
When my hope is crushed or my might dashed from the World at Large,
My dignity in discreet omnipresence as well as faith overall.
No man's belief outshines another in spirit or soul,
As in life and death eternity and nano-seconds all is relative therein.
All come before one creator of all things believed in or acknowledged,
Because THAT is the way of creationism and the grand scheme of exists,
One is as many as all and all is as one,
This is sacred in the the most secret of seclusion or exposure,
Yet sustained shall all be requiem in approach by the Love,
In Pride there is no Valor like that of Virtue,
However meek or emboldened it is rewarded via proxy of experience,
Particular be principle of premise in position,
Humility and being humble is a value unto the individual unique,
Emancipated through time and trial all involved learn completely...
We are ALL God & God almighty is what we all are as a lesson of life,
Living on Earth is our time tested trial of what & why we exist,
Love is it's result when learned and worked for from the heart of us.

sunshine

On. The beach the maidens lay
Soaking in the suns rays
Rubbing oil so they won't burn
Boobs out oh what joy to watch

Blistering in the mid day sun
Hour on the front
Hour on the back
Soaking up that hot sun

To desire that all over tan
There they lay
All tanned and hot
All day getting hot basting in the sun

Rising.

A heart Is wakened from Its sleep,
Its sentinels their watch do keep.
Only one shall pass this way,
Veronique, my precious Angel glory.

Come within my eternal glory sweet,
You do make my life complete.
You set the fire to burn within my heart,
From this fire you shall never part.

You are the Inner sun within me,
My greatest passion you shall always be.
Come bring me your gentle ways,
Through all our peaceful Loving days.

Your Love meets mine a blazing sun,
The glory of Love Is now begun.
Desire springs forth It Is not surprising,
At this moment of Love we call the rising.
