A Fateful Date

Bar Sinister

Bar sinister

Has an ominous sound

Is it meant to astound?

Nullius filius

Sounds important

And portentous

Maybe a bit pretentious

Oh the ill-fated child

Born of sin

Shall grow untamed and wild

Lead the innocent

Down the path of no return

With a kiss and a smile

And away they're sent

Oh but what if this by-blow

Is of right and sound mind

Then the child is twice cursed

She must come from below

All hell and damnation

Inspired her creation

There is no doubt

That she will do her worst

While she twists and shouts

From the minds

Of the ignorant

Past and present

For a child

No matter how it arrived

Is a gift from above

And should receive

Nothing but love

This child of the first

Is strong

With lungs that can scream

Long

And loud

She has a thirst

For the written word

With angels as her guide

She has nothing to hide

Honesty is her game

The truth in her name

She of earth and fire

Of softness and desire

Walks through life

Through the happiness

And the strife

With a wink and a smile

For she knows

All lessons only last

For a while

She holds out her hand

To her big strong man

As she walks by his side

Three steps to his one

Long stride

This child of love

Born of secrecy

A love child

Of illegitimacy

Has nothing but love to give

And a loving lifetime to live

Mincing Words Just To Say I Love You

I'm Done

Ghostly Hands

Flawed and Cracked

Spectral Arms

Oh the utopian games we play

No force on earth

Will bid me say nay, nay, nay

Enthralled, I have been

Ensnared by your charms

You take delight as I writhe in

Your spectral arms

Your voice echoes through the mist

A deep timbre

You have only but to whisper

And my soul can't resist

Unknown Song

Unknown Song

It was a sultry night.  The skies clear.  The stars glittering in the moonlight.  I, on the beach for my nightly stroll.  An isolated breeze, cool against my heated skin, tickled the edges of my dress as they skipped to and fro.  Dancing a merry dance of catch me if you can.  It was then I saw him.  A tall dark figure standing at the border of earth and sea.  The waves lapping at his ankles as if kisses weren't enough to satisfy.  He slowly turned his head towards me.  With the moon in full bloom behind him all I saw was a dark silhouette, a flash of gold.  A hand held out to mine...frozen, I stood.  This faceless man waited patiently as I found the courage to lift my hand.  I placed it lightly in his and I watched in fascination as his large fingers wrapped around mine like a delicate velvet throw.  I suddenly realized the soft tunes of music playing in the background as he pulled me close.  My body melted into his as he slowly swayed to the silken melody of an unknown song.

Dull Dead Eyes

Lies spread like butter

So easy as sin

You are such an expert

At going berserk

To cause chaos

And divert

The wrongs

You have done

It was all

In good fun

I see it in your eyes

Your dull dead eyes

No butterflies

For you

All the sins

That you do

Seep through

Your pores

But everyone

Ignores

Because

You are an expert

At going berserk

To cause chaos

And divert

All the wrongs

You have done

Was all

In good fun

No angels

To smile

Upon you

For all the sins

That you do

Your touch

Is poison

Your heart

Is frozen

Because you

Are broken

And

You want

To break

Everyone too

Screaming Memories

I saw you

The other day

It made me smile

(Laughing hysterically)

You've come

A long way

(Not really)

From where

You began

Boy

Those little legs must have ran

(For miles and miles)

It brought back

Memories

Of days gone by

(You crank called me daily)

Memories I don't

Want to forget

I don't know why

(I do actually)

I learned a lot from you

Of the evil women can do

Lies, lies, lies

Spewed from your lips

The drive by's

You, your sister and friends

Screaming 'Slut, Bitch, Whore!'

Spread poison

With your fingertips

With notes

At my door

How long has it been

Since I've seen you last?

Eighteen years?

Wow! Eighteen years

Time sure flies fast

My last image of you

Your eyes wide open

(Dull, dead eyes)

Screeching

In guttural fury

At me

(To respond would be unwise)

Because I had

What you wanted

You see

I was carrying

Something precious

In my belly

A beautiful

Fragile little baby

I Simply Wish

I simply wish to look upon the stars

Marvel at how beautiful they are

How they twinkle and wink

Embedded in all that velvety black ink

But instead I wonder

When will one explode?

Will it sound like thunder?

Or impact an ascending node?

The nearest star to Earth is the Sun

How soon before we have to run?

All life must come to an end

This I know

But will my line reach my great grandchildren

Before we all must go?

(From what I've gathered, the Sun still has billions of years of life left. So, no worries.)

I simply wish to look upon the stars

Wonder how far away they are

Close my eyes and make a wish

As one shoots across the evening sky

While the spoon runs off with the dish

Romance is still alive, I can't deny

But no...

I think...there goes a meteoroid

Entering our atmosphere

Will one fall to the Earth

At thousands of miles per hour

Escaping the burn

Hitting an unsuspecting person

In the eye

While on a midnight stroll

Taking a turn?

And then I cry...why?

Why oh why must I?

Pastel

Oh my darling

You paint my story well

The map of my life

Is etched in every pore and cell

Every bump and curve

Has an epic to tell

Like the time

I was a rebel

Without a clue

And when I was in hell

With only one shoe

Minute expressions

Can even foretell

Where the next wrinkle will be

My, ain't that swell

This tired old soul

In this tired old shell

Has little left to dole

And little left to sell

But one thing is for certain

When for me shall toll the bell

You will see so very clearly

That I didn't live my life in pastel

My Steps To You

#1

I hold in my hand

A flame of desire

I keep well hidden

From you

You are the fuel

That ignites my fire

Together we will burn

Cerulean blue

Spiced

I saw my love, laid

Bare my wounded heart, He sliced

Diced, spiced and ate it

End-o

It's hard to write

A love song

When your heart

Is bleeding strong

The blood is black

What's up with that?

A love song

Who wants to hear it?

You say I've got it all wrong

The heart that you tore

When you walked out the door

When forever you swore

And you want me to write you

A love song

Well I'm not King Kong

Tear up the world

To get you back

You can believe that Jack

You can stick your

Love song

Where it belongs

In your end-o

And you better know

It won't be played

On anyone's radio

Thank You Ma'am

She flew over the cuckoo's nest

Didn't stop to say good bye

Bulldozed her way through life

With subtlety

And charm

She had a way

To disarm

Thank you ma'am

May I have another?

Lucky must be her middle name

So many times

It could have been the end game

She just kept right on going

No regrets, no worries

A future full of unknowns

She wasn't afraid of not knowing

She shrugged her shoulders

With a smile

The kind that said

I'll stay for a while

Oh happy days

We hope that she will stay

Oh she does love to play

As long as she gets her way

Thank you ma'am

May I have another?

I Have Lived

I have lived many lives
In different places
Cried thousands of painful tears
Sat in thoughtful silence
Mulled life's many fears
Laughed as if
There were no tomorrow
And loved, loved, loved
As if today
Were my dying day
