Poems #6
These poems range in time from about 1986 till present.....I have tried to preserve them in chronological order.
I see beauty inside your face
I see hope and I see waste
I want to know what goes inside
I want to see all that you hide
I want to feel the warmth and care
I want to share a breath of air
I want to know if you feel
The will inside to make dreams real
Perverted
Diverted
Twisted
Sadistic
Needle sharp
Broken heart
Empty pain
Suffer gain
Beauty lives behind the mask
The answer lies within the past
Shadows cloud the future's will
Hope and love within us still
Little girl, lost inside
Nothing to show
Nothing to hide
Grown man, pain inside
Nothing but heart
Nothing but pride
Two souls locked inside
Nothing gained
Nothing survived
~for Taimie and a collage of her past relationships...~
Demented dreams never come true
Warped reality blurs the view
Beautiful Childe
Bathed in night
No one cares
To see the sight
Beautiful Childe
Born in sin
Mother's heart
Won't let him in
Beautiful Childe
Fall from grace
Beauty hides
Within his face
Beautiful Childe
Scratched and torn
Forced to heel
To others scorn
Beautiful Childe
Hope and pray
Somday pain
Will go away
~for a wonderful man I met at a Drum Frenzy.....who's name I can't recall~
Tree Kalab
Tree-sap veins
Tipped with leaves
Arm-branch out
To catch the breeze
Bark-skin smooth
Lines yet to weave
Toe-nail roots
Push deep below
Trunk-tree rings
True knowledge show
With our love
Tree-Kalab grow
~for Kalab....the little tree child~
Tiny life within my Womb
Fill me up. leave no room
For fear and doubt to rest in there
Just love and trust and hope to share
~written for Tina....during her preganancy~
In the dreamlikeness that others felt
I dived to deep to find myself
Time passes slowly
Shifting sands
In the horizon
Healing hands
Pagasus dreams
Fill my throat
Wings broken
Losing hope
Violent winds
Twirling 'round
Praying soon
I reach the ground
When I dream you're always there
Warming me, but do you care
It seems unreal that I should feel
The sparks come through this cold hard steel
Yet, they do, I cannot deny
Even though my mind does try
Never before have I felt such fear
Do you know I love you Dear
Do you need to bare my soul and savor all my pain
Do you want to see me hurt and know that you're to blame
Do you want to rip me up and capture what's inside
Do you need to tie me down so I can't run and hide
Why do all your doubts and fears transfer unto me
If you can't accept my faults, then Darling set me be
Despair's Bride, clothed in white
Shadows hide from the night
Innocent girl, running scared
Despair's hand, touching hair
Misery's pain, sunk deep within
Haunted eyes, filled in with sin
Innocent soul shriveled inside
Misery's tomb, run and hide
Gloaming mists curl around
Praying feet, not a sound
Hopeless childe, leaves no trace
Gloaming dusk beyond her face
