Wasting time
Staring over the edge of the world
Composing
Fumbling
These untitled and never ending
Midnight Ramblings
Shooting stars rise
Erupting
In endless skies
Eternal Cascades
Highlighting shades
Of
tomorrow
A sneak preview
Final run-through
Before dark becomes light
Day
Breaks
The shackles of night
The
present
On the brink of
Destruction
The past
Destined for extinction
At the hands
Of an all-consuming
Future
Standing
in awe
Wonder and amazement
The line
Of time
Moves across the sky
All encompassing
Spirit transcending
A
wide berth
From this immoral earth
Passes right on by
We're not ready
Too unsteady
Unstable
Not yet able
To
live in harmony
Ongoing dismissals
Constant remittals
Sacrificing the now
Willing to beg, steal or borrow
For
a flashing chance
Of a material tomorrow
Always ends in sorrow
Carries the baggage
Of a savage
Blow
Knocks
you down
Drags you around
No grace
In greed
To be found
Living for today
Not dwelling
On the past
The
threshold of your last
Lifetime
Many an idle moment
Spent
Under the shady tree
Lover's Lament
Reminisce
The
prophesies
How many came true?
Which ones missed
The mark?
Now to be found
Bound
For the dark surrounds
Yesteryear
I
still see you
Even though
You're not here
Always used to be there
When I needed to share
A tear
A tale
Now
left spitting
Sour taste of betrayal
Offered you my heart
Took it and kept it
In your buttoned-down top pocket
I
asked for yours
But you locked it
Away
In a box to stay
The years slide away
No closer to finding
The correct
combinations
I miss the beauty
Reflected Constellations
In those starry eyes
I need to revise
My stance
Devise
A
masterplan
To reclaim what once was mine
Before the demise
The one-sided compromise
Where you drew the line
Losing
my balance
The world spins on it's axis
Painfully clear
I need a little more practice
The legacy she left
The
compounded legend
Impounded dreams
Nerves deadened
The dead end
Where I hit the wall
One consolation
Not
far to fall
Fail
On my last go round
The end of the trail
The tale
Ends
Random hearts beating
In tandem
defeating
Competing urges
Emerging
Surging intensity
Fuels the inclination
Daring flirtation
Overcoming
a flaking propensity
Confined notions
Entwined
In converging emotions
A generous donation
The promise of salvation
The
richness of the resin
From the black cypress pine
One day
Will be mine
Until that time
Swing from the vine
Awaiting
the sign
The changing seasons
Never resting on laurels
Nor
Preaching immoral
Waiting for the one
Who gives
me a reason
To breathe
To live
To love
To give
You
Do you fear the day
You meet your maker?
The dictator,
the narrator
Instigator of this play
No need to worry
So long as you're sorry
The slate
Will be wiped clean
away
But I don't want to wait
Until that day
The day I die
I need my
Record erased
A chance to replay
To
right the wrong
Correct the mistakes
A mural of inspiration
The irregular librations
Of thoughts
Running through
my mind
Lost inside
Countless distractions
Neural abstractions
Which, contrary to fact
Are not created
By
mental act
Subtraction
From the onset of reality
Interactions
Physical, subliminal
A brush with duality
Submerged
In
the written word
Late-night notations
Literary innovations
A glance, a look
Through your favourite books
Searching
for clues
Hints and tips
Compiling a list
In my little notebook
It reads like a rhyme
Up till the time
We
spend together ends
Forever unfinished
As yet undiminished
By the objections of fair-weather friends
Dark rooms
of my mind
Furnished with doubt
Repeating eerie incantations
Numerous experimentations
Quenched a thirst
Come
through the worst
A well-timed rejuvenation
Holding the fort
A courageous defence
Continue to thwart
The advance
of pretense
She always sold me short
Spoke of the discord
In the imperfect tense
Visions of her now penetrate
the ether
Should I take a back seat
Or continue to seek her?
A defining moment
Aligned with truth
Outgrown
and stepped forth from
Shadows of youth
Left behind immaturity
Hand-picked by obscurity
Another lone traveller
On
the road to security
Unmarked
Unposted
You made it you boasted
Though with the help of your friends
Whose names
you wouldn't share
I came to the conclusion
That you were already
Halfway there
I wonder would she
Be so kind
To
let me leave
Yesterday behind
I don't need the memory
Burning any longer
What use
The abuse
If it doesn't
make us stronger?
My dreams
Are screened
To make sure they're acceptable
Simple task
No questions asked
To
you
I'm too
Susceptible
The smoke now cleared
From the shattered face
Of the broken mirror
I see her in
every
Direction
Reflected, refracted
In my self-imposed
State of detention
Waiting for her
To re-mark my
Corrections
She
is to my heart
What Apollo is to the arts
The centrepiece
The main attraction
Ever-present
Regardless of distraction
Wild
voices
Reverberating echoes
Of a secret audience
Paid the price
Want to know
See the sights
Watch the show
Prepared
For
any circumstance
A stolen dream
Of a chance meeting
Unforgettable greeting
A theme
Replaying the scene
A
fractured memory
Where I met my enemy
Highlighted the confusion
Kept in seclusion
Buried
An unsolvable mystery
An
all-seeing eye
Though
No
God in the sky
Manipulative
Author of history
Does she remember last
Valentine's
Day?
An attempt to restore
That which existed before
Arrived unannounced
Whisked her away
Through the streets
till dawn
We talked
We danced
Gay Paree
To me
Is now more
Than the capital
Of France
The look in her
eyes
Not one of surprise
Askance
Askew
Saw through
My disguise
To escape
Reshape
This sorrowful aberration
Takes
more than romantic
Improvisation
If I am
To win her favour
Must be more direct
Not make her suspect
Nor
advertise the fact
That
I crave her
A picture
In a gallery of conquests
Third from the left
One more
Of
your 'innocent' contests
In this world
Of overflowing curiosity
Doubts arrive
Lightning velocity
Truths contrive
Stinging
ferocity
An expression of love
Belittled as
A digression from reality
Taken
With a pinch of salt
An assault
on
Normality
Suffering
The effects of neutrality
A definite correlation
No mere observation
Found the recipe
for
Success
This spark of illumination
Cause for celebration
I observed in quiet
Acquiesce
A caress
A
touch
Is it asking too much?
A new location
Soul-migration
To rid myself of this
Invariable, pliable
Undeniable
crutch
Everywhere we look
Not always the most obvious
Criminals and crooks
Setting an example
Innocent
Death-row
suspect
Means to financing
Enhancing
Their chances
(What else would you expect?)
Dubious
Devious
Leader-elect
A
single instance
Of this world full of scorn
Battles won
Battles lost
Now
I don't even mourn
Death
Were
desensitised
War is
Romanticized
Decked out in the trimmings of
Peace
For all of the parades
Against guns
and grenades
And though their
Objections
Won't cease
At least they won't cower
Nor give in to the power
Oppose
the schemes of
The elite
Thousand pound suits and
Executive suites
They can have their riches
I'll stick with
My
rags
I don't want that money
Unmarked bags
What good
Would
It be
No one to share it
Give me love
Before
money
Just can't compare it
For too long a time
I neglected
My calling
Always finding excuses
Reasons
For
stalling
There was a time
Not long ago
I thought
I was over her
Now faced with
Tasting
An emotional
Transfer
I
set out in haste
To the place
Where I left her
Where I lost her
To another
An unnatural disaster
Once more
I'll
be riding
The crest
Of a wave
Though before
Deciding
I promised
I won't misbehave
Refuted the allegations
Disputed
the regulations
No use in
Standardizing emotion
Generated a feeling
Dedicated to healing
Prolonging
The
harmonic motion
Where the ocean
Meets the sky
Blue shades of wonder
Where again
You and I
Will be one
Amidst
the rolling
Thunder
The perfect
Connection
Of two wandering souls
No point in lying
No use denying
We
both know
We're two halves
Of a whole
One and the same
But you still
Play your game
Of deceit
Don't want
to compete
Beating
A retreat
The burning furnace
Overheating
If I give up now
I'd be hard-pressed
To
find you
I'd rather not have to
Second-guess
All the answers
To the clues you left
You knew
I would find
them
Strategically placed
The solution will condemn
Me
A future uncertain
I never know
What I'll see
When
I open
The curtain
Everyday a different room
For the silence
To reside in
Four more
Dark corners
For
me to hide in
She is the power
She holds the keys
She can tease me
She can please me
The Queen of the realm
Where
Fantasy
frees me
A mental state
We all can relate
To debate
Create
Even conjugate
My heart takes flight
Everytime
She
recites
Those words
They send me into
Rapturous delight
An invitation to
Heaven
To feast
On at least
One
of the seven
Deadly sins
To counter the
Unbalance
To pull me from the
Dirt you
Introduced me to
All seven
Of
the Heavenly
Virtues
Yours is the light
Shining so bright
Burning
Till the end of the
Night
Through to
the morning
An RSVP
To a new day
Dawning
Without you
It's not worth it
A state of mourning
Taken
As
a warning
I'm alone
But I won't
Admit it
Commit myself
Submit myself
Your game
Now I'm willing
To
play it
I feel
A sense of duty
To share
Your incomparable
Beauty
But mere words
Always fail
To convey
it
Gun in hand
I'll place my bet
Fatal game of
Russian roulette
A six in one chance
Winner takes all
You
are the prize
Since I'm no good at goodbyes
I guess I'll have to answer
The call
Spin of the chamber
A lesson
in starkness
Click of the trigger
My world
In darkness
I think my chance
Has passed
It's date of expiration
My
time is up
I've lost
My sole inspiration
You
