A Midnight Wish

A Midnight Wish

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

Haunted eyes that burn so bright

Pray that good times never fade

I feel I am measured and weighed

Should my soul be heavy or light?

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

The sun is so bright there is no sign of shade

No color at all, only white

Pray that good times never fade

A seeming then, A home that’s made

A happy family, feeling so right

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

When the time comes to end the charade

Will it be easy to give up the fight?

Pray that good times never fade

So I’ll not be moved or swayed

To my true feelings I’ll hold tight

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

Pray that good times never fade

Mercury's Vow

Mercury’s Vow

And all my sorrows turn to joys in times unlikely number’d

But quickly end with willful sighs to turn smiles e’now

A joyful look, I quickly took as e’re I turn my head

By Mercury, I pledged my vow

I wish only to live in the here and now

Never have meanings wrongly misread

But what will come of this sacred vow?

In public I will not one glistening teardrop shed

Only happy or pleasant face allow

Not to belie or fool, ‘tis that I dread

Br Mercury, I pledge this vow!

What Men Really Want...

What Men Really Want…

Why must men insist and say

Care not for dress, throw wiles away

Who put it about, who heard it said

A man cares for the looks inside our heads?

But do they mean it, what they say?

Or is it an attempt to gain our bed?

They try to stay two steps ahead

Why must men persist and say…

A loving wife they wish to wed

To laugh and smile all the day

Intelligence should fill their head

Care not for dress, throw wiles away

It’s enough to make a girl see red

To find the original protégée.

Who thought enough to think of a way?

Who put it about, who made it said?

A girl is beautiful for skills she conveys

Not bosoms big, shining hair or lips of red

When that is true, I’ll seize the day

When a man cares for the looks inside our heads!

Our Song

Our Song

I think our song is ending love

When tragedies are mentioned think on us

There was a great run for a while

When times were bright and gay

We laughed on golden shores

The hours whiled away without remark

Just sitting hand in hand, heart in heart

But now we must head into the sunset

Our lives to live again

It’s not alone I fear

It’s “without you” I dread

DO YOU EVER????

Do you ever?...

Do you ever feel like taking everything you’ve ever written, drawn, typed, sewn, composed, sung, played, recorded, or just in general created chucking it in a huge bonfire and lighting the match?  I really feel like I am identifying with Salieri lately, except he was a PUBLISHED composer and had fans and was BRILLANT.  Me?  I’m just a mouthy, nobody with a blog, a twitter, and lots of opinions.  That’s why I try to create new forms of poetry, like my gif poem, or the internet concrete poem.  I figure if no one ELSE has done them I can’t be shown up right? 

Sooner or later though, someone will come around with the wits to improve my paltry ideas.  After all, there are more things in heaven and earth, right? They say there are only seven stories after all.  I wonder if they have adjusted that saying to have more gender inclusive romantic storylines.  I say romance is romance, no matter who is giving and who is receiving, or how many!  The drama of a story comes from the angst.  The tenor and tone of the story can change depending on the mores and morals of society but the basis of the story stays the same.  That is true whether you change the settings or the characters or the sex!  Romeo and Juliet could be Romeo and Caesar and it would be the same story, maybe even easier to understand! 

But I, personally, have been having writer’s block lately.  Call it the 3 M’s. Migraines, Megrimes, and Monthlies. LSIDC I do love how every time a woman is in a bad mood a man everyone blames it on her period.  I was writing that men do this but I realized women do it just as much.  We may do it in a sticky sweet, back biting, condescending way, but we do.  Men may not realize the amount of cat calling and sniping that goes on between women because a lot of it is subtext.  Thing are said that are call backs to past conversations, or said between clenched teeth, or with baited breath. Women are never going to get anything from men until we stop GIVING IT to each other!

Well, I started this post trying to clear my head so that my writer’s block.  I’m not sure if that worked.  I still feel like setting all my stuff on fire.  I don’t think I’ll do it.  It’d take too long to gather it together.  But if you see a blaze lighting up half of North America…

Writer's Block

The creative process slows to a crawl

My pen is limp in my hand

And…

Now…

I...

Wait…

And now with each word I scrawl

My brain starts to expand

The words begin to flow

Expanding at a faster pace

I allow as that my rest is done

It’s broken its terrible brace

I have lifted the veil and seen

Revelations

So terrified of what it means

What calls in the dark of night

You are the brightest of light

Keeping me from losing my cool

Coming apart at the seams

My battered knight in armor

No longer shiny and new

It’s not anyone’s place to judge

Intolerable what people think they can do

To figures on paper-mache

Used for money or power

Not important for what they portray

Kings no longer have power

Should they?

Solution

One step ahead and two behind

Getting the pacing just right

If the world falls away could we walk hand in hand?

And finally step into the light?

Does it matter who is in the front now?

Does it matter who brings up the rear?

If one of us follows the other,

We will end up together, my dear.

My solution in the end is simple,

We stop this running around.

Find a spot that we can settle down now,

And we will have nothing to fear.

Tether

It's a plain dreary rain
I watch from my window pane
It's time for moving on
But I'm stuck here with the pain
Time is fleetly flying
And patience has me sighing
I've waited here so long
Just knowing this and crying
You left me here forever
My heart about to sever
My life is barren, I withdrawal
I've lost my only tether

Some Scraps of Poems

From now on I need to steel myself from the darkness,
My hard choices need to come swiftly now
One follow another in rapid succession
Time has come to rise to the action and make bold statements
Not always the popular decisions to bear the burdens
A life of single blessedness is a cursed choice
What is necessary is right in God's eye and mine

Staring through crisscrossed eyelashes

Looking for courage in diminutive frames

Time will come soon enough

When light explodes through shattered seconds

Experience the feeling of fractured repose

My Past

My past

A dark corridor

Is where eternity lies

Wrought with sorrow

Pain and Sighs,

You bright up my life in

Like the sun in mid June

Like the sky fills the moon

An illusion of an oasis

You go and disappear

The sorrow in my ribs

Again begins to sear

I guess I’ll never know

The treasure I have found

Until it disappears,

Without trace or sound

The light up ahead

Will guide me home

Never again shall I forget

Where I‘ve come from

Vows

Vows

All anyone can ask

Is to give you all can,

To try not lie,

And to love with all your heart and soul.

To vow to be faithful

Is a large part of what is wrong with this world

We expect too much

Then are upset when it falls apart

Just don’t flaunt them in front of me.

Don’t get trapped.

Be careful.

I don’t want a fixer up model.

Anyone who goes into a relationship

Intending to change someone

Ends up

With disappointments and heartaches

The only person you can count on changing

Is you.

So go into love with your eyes open,

And never end up

With your heart in pieces on the floor.

Comet

Oh my bright and burning star

Some would stay you’re falling

It’s just that you blaze so radiantly

The Earth has turned her back on you

You have a path, a steady course

Returning to give us bliss

Never altering your initial trail

Although we may not see its plan

Some may see a heart of ice

Some may see a trail of fire

I see a journey half completed

And the future yet to come

Inquiry

Inquiry

Would you know me by my rapier wit?

By my overwhelming personality?

Is it my physicality that draws you?

My hands running up the nape of your neck?

Do you love the way I love you?

The way I am drawn to you?

Could you tell me from others at a distance?

Is my smile the sun in your sky?

Or is it the fact that my heart

No longer beats in my chest

It is in your possession

Care for it well

Broken

Caught out again like a bug on a web

You reel me in to your trap

Not even noticing what you have done

Breaking my heart with a sudden snap

Dangling there on a string

Waiting for the axe to fall

The world suddenly seems so small

It only exists for you and me

But you are made of clouds and dreams

If I touch you, you would cease to be

Giving way to my plans and schemes

So look I can but never touch

A delicate balance is struck

Until another comes into your life

Even in dreams I have no luck

Instincts

Instincts

Sometimes we all need to bay at the moon

To give into to our animal instincts

We need to fall to our knees and roll in the dirt

Feel the pounding of blood in our veins

Because it’s not always about the meter and rhyme

Sometimes we have to throw caution to the wind

For when we can’t be perfect

You may as well make as big a mess as possible

A little dirt under your nails

Only shows how hard you’ve toiled

Missing

Missing

Phantom fingers in my hair

Gently sliding down

A slight touch

Deftly caressing

Longing for what cannot be had

The barriers are too high

The cost, too much

Could the world suffer your loss?

Mine would be no heartbreak

Not even a blip on the radar

Separation is good for the soul

Or at least

That is what everyone

Seems convinced I need to hear

What is your opinion, love?

Race

Race

This breakneck speed, it never stops

A frantic, hectic pace

The crashing, clanking sound of the world

There’s a reason it’s called the human race

Where do we go when just need a break

When you need to just get away

Sometimes we all need a new look on life

A new prospective on the day

So we head for mountain, sand and shore

To relax and recharge and rest

But maybe we don’t know how to slow ourselves down

What methods really work the best

A change is coming carried on currents

Which way they blow no one knows

Just try to keep your head on straight

This world keeps you on your toes

Scales

Scales

Surrendering is easier when flesh is not rent

Hearts are harder to bargain

Pain is a price that’s harder to set

 Though it is a fairly active market

Time is valued as losses accrued

Wishes will be stored away

Scales are tipped to the side of the wooed

Love is saved for a rainy day

Bonded

Bonded

That feeling deep down in your soul

Which makes your life complete

The heart that makes your own heart whole

The taste that makes life so sweet

It rises up from deep within

To fill you up with light

No matter where you have been

It makes the whole world right

When you find the perfect thing

Grab it with both hands

Tie it up with golden strings

Give in to its demands

For you have found the perfect life

 There will be no more sorrow or strife

Braggart

Braggart

Haranguing tongues wag everyday

Harpies hardly stop nagging

It’s a cross between lying and bragging

To assume yours is the only way

New things happen everyday

Wouldn’t want to be the one lagging

Who set new tongues to wagging

It’s better to stay out of the fray

Step to the beat of a different drum

Be careful in all that you say

Eventually the good things will come

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem

Just everyday normal, humdrum things

Coming and going about the day

Recalling faces and songs that we sing

Moving about and going away

Because people do that in their everyday lives

They pack up and move at the drop of a hat

What everyone longs for, everyone strives

Not to fall down, land flat on their back

For goals are important, as far as they go

To chart your own path and guide your own way

But not achievable in one's own life, so

Take time out to seize the day!
