Search my Soul

Search
to understand me
the things i feel and
all that fills me to
overflowing

My
soul is lost at sea
treading inky water
contemplating the deep
without hope

Heart
you betrayed me
opening to empty vessels
that show nothing
righteous

____________________________________

Stand Still


Stand
alert and watchful
treading carefully
in our steps

Still
fearful of the minefield
of desolation and the
disgusting one

And
listen for the danger,
ever watching for
the signs

See
the path taken,
avoid the snares
of those who are careless.

The
Ones who cannot hear
the approach of
the armies marching

Salvation
comes to those who
hear, feel, see, and
listen for the command

You Don't know jack

You
walk through life
dragging your nails
down everyone's dreams

Don't
tell me about your troubles
and all the pain you endure
at the hands of fate

Know
Your pain and own it
and get your claws out
of my loved ones

Jack
be nimble and also quick
I pray the damage
can be undone.

Mystery in Red


Write
my world into flames
and caress my heart
with your pen

Him
I crave with illicit spirit
who tortures me with angelic touch.
Across time, I reach for his troubled heart.

Into
the night, I lure him
Calling him to my waiting web,
to wrap silken limbs about him.

Submission
So pleasant when passion binds
us in love, fire burns my visage
into your mind..my name dripping from honeyed lips.

Let The Dead Lie Sleeping

Let
Me listen to the
memories of you
and cry tears of loss.

The
Mark you made, left
deep pools of love
and rained laughter on us all.

Dead
silence is no legacy of yours
as all you touched turned
to smiles and contagious laughing.

Lie
still, only for mere
moments and let the world
move around your resting soul.

Sleeping
until you are called
awake to our eager arms.

Sleep sweet, Uncle.
