sin of hubris
sin of lust
cloaked in black sugar
truth can be found
at the end of the wall
pray God we meet before

Havens Lights
last night I saw heavens lights
low in the southern sky
the milkyway revealed
then a fallen star
shot across an endless fault
trailing colors__ glorious illumination
rainbow of colors
streamed from its tail
pass red Mars__across Saturns moons
a golden color wheel__ stardust
ablaze crisscrossed silent in darkness
filling my longing eyes

The Roseline
line of rosewood
shadowed path
within a church
pilgrims from the west
for those who seek
sangraall a dark quest
hidden in a keep
knights of many calls
guard it well
not a scroll
not a cup
nor a cross
sangraall
holy blood
where does it dwell
the Magdalene
holds the key
passed down the ages
for those who seek
they will find
start at the rose line

Just Walk Beside Me.....
the nights are long and lonely
darkness draws ever near
dawn can not come too soon
I am afraid__afraid
as I cower in shadows dreams
spirits of the long dead
haunt my every thought
death is near__
it walks in front of me
it walks behind me
I know not where to hide
oh sweet love__
dear friend and lover
just walk beside me
and always be my friend

Distract
That was very interesting. The one word was distract.
This is what I wrote in sixty seconds.
distract me please
from sorrow's loss
from endless grief
from hurtful pain
that I might see
all the smiles he gave
Sangrral
golden chalice,sangrral
the blood of sion,the holy grail
knights Templar's sought of old
Sangrral

Old Souls...Were We
You have left me
hiding your heart away
soft gray eyes
now speak words unknown
Lips, once kissed sweet
smiles vacant__indifferent
grown cold with time
become shadows of once was
Our bodies did burn
wild with promise__desire
ruddy hot entwined
scorched blacken shapes
old souls were we
Whispered unheard pleas
ground__you lovingly walked
opens once more...to receive
love in an empty shell
Oh, lying garnet lips
unfaithful labia
another takes your mind
another fancy fills your eyes
You, have left my body
you have left my soul
covered, I am voided
my heart...richest prize
Broken__dead
Let the gentle loam
cover this flesh and blood
grape hyacinth...a haze of purple
feed now__upon these eyes
Must now__this breath, forever stilled

3WW
a universe of chaos reins
the spark is lit__
matter engages life
bright light disarms darkness
from within__earth if formed

Blue Flowered Mug......
Hours had passed
it seemed like weeks
"the letter sat before him,
unopened, propped against a coffee mug"
her mug...
a blue flowered one she always used.
He felt rather then knew, the house was empty
with vacant eyes focused on the pale lavender envelope
reading two words...
over and over
dear one
dear one.
Still__as the loud silence around him
he sat on an old sofa dazed and numb
dear one__dear one
what more was there to say
not unspoken words or hidden feelings
with the coming dusk, dread lay heavy
on his thin bent shoulders.
Why, came his soft whisper to the darkening room
later as the sounds of night made music...
he remained locked in narrow chambers and
mirrored hallways of the past__their past.
he wondered aloud, if he never moved the mug
never opened the letter...
never read her words
would time move backwards
would he hear her laughter
singing through the house once more?
Never opened
never read
no pain
no sorrow

Chello Opus 49
eyes closed
his nimble fingers
caress each worn string
hands weave flutter__
up and down the scales
back and forth,the bow flies
as a low mellow sound resonates
magical silver notes__
float rise above cement shadows
streets of broken dreams
pure soft bitter sweet patterns
whispered murmurs fill the heaviness__
of life,wasted,trapped on cold pavement
such sadness__
such sadness
channeled in the hollow night

How Many Bells......
how many times must the toll
how long will it take to forget
how many spirits roam this scared ground
trapped within this blackened earth
how many must die across the sea
too many,too many__so long gone

The Phoenix
majestic bird of myth
broad jeweled wings
soar high enigma of time
born in ashes
gift to man
shadows evenings red orange sun
flashing, sparkling
violet green against a twilight sky
fly free, free__just a little while
as the earth pivots, your binds released
free free__just a little while
till time and heaven decree
spin rainbow sparks
a spiral downward dance
skimming tree tops and seas of gold
only to burn in wheels of color
hot flames within the melted sun
burnt black your only mark
just a little while__
then once more rising
from black remains to fly again
free of earths nature__unbound
sweet angel wings magical sojourner
rise high__fill the cool moon mist
echoing cries of pure joy
from ashes comes forth the bird of Eden
free forever more
Sorry.......

The Phoenix And The Rose
http://thephoenixandtherose.blogspot.com
Hope you can forgive me all of the confusion. From now own I will post all Poetry on this web blog.

The Soul Of Man
buried deep black earth
time swallows body blood mind
melting into the soul
together now__the soul is one
time to go home at last
My Love For You........
love fuels my heart
body trembles at your touch
grasping soul bleeds souls alike

The Void
ringing three times
in dead of night
the bells
the bells
the bells__peal
moving between dark heavy hours
sunless under a new moon
silver black silver
no where to turn
caught in a labyrinth of time
all hang on the fringe
three times three times three
stars burn and die
they move,slow weary blind__
beginning-end
light-dark
dense-knot
wound-tight
faster faster
east-west-north-south
a clot,pure dark matter
ravenous,swallows whole
flesh blood bone mind
until__
time,endless time
silently falls
spinning
spinning
spinning
now, now__all is void

Shades Of Blue
deep oceans run cold
bottom black bed rock
blue hued shadows flow silent
lazy fish swim fast current
scales flash shimmers violet-blue
Sweep...Sweep...Sweep
keep sweeping the streets
streets I once walked and knew well
sweep sweep the shades away
shades haunt alley ways
seeking poor souls unaware
loves lost in pain death
keep sweeping the streets
I once knew till ghosts are gone
sweep sweep what remains
