The Quotes Garden - XX – Black

"The Quotes Garden"


[ XX ]


Black


“Black.
My world falls inside a grave;
I can hear the funeral rhythm;
Humming algorithm, on the stave.

Black.
The worms are sages of this cave;
I could just see who craves –
For such a heart I gave; -

Black.
In this darkness, sorrow –
For my beloved sparrow,
Which I could not save –

Black.
So many memories, lost,
- Dreams entangling waves;
What for?! For what cost?!..

Black.
My lungs are filled with grief
And seems the whole earth
Crushing me, slowly; slowly…

Black.
A lonely beast; without relief,
- An ivy root killing its leaf
For a song – going lowly;

Black.
Deeper; deeper; up to where
There’s nothing to bear –
For what is death, or birth?!..

Black.
I have nothing left; only sins; –
I don’t know what means
A hell to which I’m going.

Black.
Which one, really loses or wins,
- If in the grave mourns a terrible beast,
Under this creased veil of my genes?!..”

The Quotes Garden - XIX – White

"The Quotes Garden"


[ XIX ]


White


"White.
The nature embraced my muse,
And all, of sudden, came to life;
My grave is now full of marble eyes.

White.
The saints blessed my wedding;
I could just hear who dies –
There was the bard and his muse; -

White.
The candles rise higher, such heart -
Which one trembles, craving for death?
An epitaph from leaves, to my wife –

White.
All the stars gathered to the opera,
Where everyone finally cried;
Their eyes had tears dressed in white.

White.
The silent sword shines along the ocean
As thy bliss enwraps around the ring,
With my quill blessed by God;

White.
There must be an oath, written in white;
My words flow silently, as I sing,
Touching the bowing harp of a swan –

White.
Along the wave, the sky shimmering my love;
O, beloved! Remember?! I cried –
And my head, at your chest, is listening echoes…

White.
Over this slab, an offer to God;
The incense fills my soul with joy;
My white mantle covers a muse.

White.
Take my hand, beloved one,
- And walk along this beautiful path,
Leaving this world covered by peace!..”

Whisper

Calling from within, whispers of your name,
A smile casts a light that opens my eyes,
No expectations, only a simple chance,
Left are questions of what to pursue,
Your eyes make me feel the real you,
Lost in the deception of life’s game,
Holding on to hope as the last embrace,
That smile, those eyes, and the whispers of your name.

Halfway To Somewhere

He had half a mind he could only write half a song
He tried and tried half would be right half would be wrong
He was always halfway to somewhere then wait to watch the sinking sun
Too bad he couldn't make it all the way there when he was young

He had half a mind and it began to show
Though his heart was full of love and dreams meant to be gold
He only had half the words to say to a girl he loved so
He was always halfway to somewhere so the story goes

You know how it will end with nothing new to know
He worries about half a memory as the sun is sinking low
He seems a little distracted at times when someone says hello
Always halfway to somewhere but no place to go

Lady Please Don't Shake My Hand

Lady don't shake my hand if that's how you plan to say goodbye
You could have told me straight out then there would'nt have been any doubt
You never had feelings for me
And I would have gotten over you and my love for you would die

And now after all these years there are suttle hints once again
I don't know why it's this way
And as the wind blows the falling leaves on this autum day
This thought comes to mind lady please don't shake my hand

Don't let my heart persuade you to be careful what to say
For fear you might hurt me believe me I will understand
I'm sorry and you are sorry let it be that way
Just one thing lady please don't shake my hand

Concrete Heart

I use to write of love but I won't anymore
I won't mention the feelings I had at the start
And if she were to look for me she might find a familiar face
But she won't find me I'm hidden away in a concrete heart

A heart can only hurt so long then it finds a way to turn to stone
Could there have been a love story could there have been a love song
And I forget those feelings the pain became too sharp
What is there to say when love is hidden away in a concrete heart

Now tears only make it to the edge of my eyes and never fall anymore
If my eyes turn red I ignore that and play it smart
And if she were to look for me she might find a familiar face
But she won't find me I'm hidden away in a concrete heart

My Sunday Burden

Sunday has become so loaded down
With so many competing activities
Many people are burdened by choices
Moreover on this day meant for families
To get together and enjoy a day of rest
A time each week to do as we please
Free from the obligation of our work
Free from the scheduling of all activities
Outside of the observances of peace
When Sunday’s load will be lightened
And people can take a sigh of relief
Give thanks and practice their beliefs
Once again make joy celebrate and feast

About this poem:
I argue for the return of the "blue laws" and give Sunday back
it's truly meaningful role as a day of rest once again for families.

Game Of Death

A game of death - Hey, I am good for!,
Just tell me where to play?,
Well, I finally got my invite!,
On a cold winter day, -
In my mind demons were warring,
Has my Angel, she started to lose feathers from her wings,
Begging me to hold on!,
"This is not ah, The DiggableHippy's thing!" --

So, I sold my soul that night,
Just so, I could go ahead and die,
The deal was fairly simple,
I won't have to live another life, -
The figures in the shadows,
I saw, one of them smile!,
I could hear the wind outside my head,
Blowing a thousand miles! --

Game of death (x2)

I looked down at my body,
After a convulsive rage,
I saw a light outside my door,
That slammed in my face!, -
At this point nothing happened,
Just felt a little cold,
Until I suddenly realized,
My soul had turn to stone!, --

My Angel that warned me,
Was looking into my eyes,
She said, "I can simply free you!",
"But you know there is a price?!", -
"A Game of Death you wanted",
"Your soul is up for grabs!",
"If you want your freedom?",
"Serve me a fallen Angels head!?", --

Game of death (x2)

I found myself alone,
Walking a crooked path,
A shadow flew above me!,
Then I heard a wicked laugh!, -
Shades of light grew darker,
Until I could barely see!,
But I knew if it could make a sound....,
It could surely bleed, --

The shadow withdrew it's sword,
That slashed into my head!,
But that cut was into a side of me,
That has long been dead!, -
Well, I picked up the shadow's blade,
Before it could be retrieved!,
I struck one hard blow!,
That brought it to it's knees!, --

Game of death (x2)

From the darkness before me,
I was blinded from the light,
Just to see a burning Angel,
Dancing with delight!, -
"Which one was your enemy?",
"You just couldn't tell?",
"And with the head of the Angel losing her wings from above!",
"You have a special place in Hell! lol" , --

Before I could say anything!,
Electric shock brought me back to life,
From the f*cking rescue team,
That responded from my ex-wife, -
In pain, here I go again!,
Never shall I rest!,
Has I wait patiently,
For another Game Of Death!, --

Game of death (x2)

What I see!

What I see!
Who holds this world in his hands?
Who?
Not I? Not you?, then who?
The world will never be us,
Why?, because,
We WILL be gone, won't be long,
Tomorrow will start anew,
The same game will reignite,
For Millennium worlds have died
no one wrong, no one right,
It's all in the game, it's always
the same,
Imagination makes this creation,
and we do it constantly,
Understanding..... is the Key!

The Quotes Garden - XVIII – Last wish

"The Quotes Garden"


[ XVIII ]


Last wish


“Stay.
With me – the dying one
Who takes away your joy
Without the longing whisper;

Stay.
A moment – before I’m gone,
Without to even ask you, muse,
Where’s the cradle of a little boy; -

Stay.
And beat – a pulse within a twister;
The last one finding and excuse
For such a sudden leaving…

Stay.
To feel; to sigh; to mourn;
I’ll be right there – right there!
- Near this tomb.. and gently, waving…

Stay.
And dream; then let it float away…
For this last minute, I was born;
For this last one, - for you, so rare;

Stay.
With me, beloved. Let me mourn…
I’ll take your hands over my chest,
For all the tears that you are saving;

Stay.
And let me be. A memory…
Another story written in a hurry;
- But let me keep your glare!..

Stay.
A sigh; - the last one, out of worry,
My dying wish, one minute more
Before to take last breath of air –

Stay.
Your eyes – these sparkles crushing emery –
What torns my heart in such a heaving,
- Mirroring the core for which I’m grieving?..”
