Mortal Drums

Pumping, beating, under skin, Pulsing with the crimson flush, Beating, pumping, Skin's a tremble at it’s touch Gentle strength, will not fail, falter To respond, will not live, The lies that we, so often run Pumping, beating Beating, pumping Pulsing, pulsing, Always at work, Never gets tired, never overworked But I am tired, And my heart, (Not, that beating drum!) Is weary, torn By need is gloom, (Woes be gone) Wishing silence But the drum beats And on and on, Beats a racket, Beat’s and beat’s, Forever on ……………………… Will it ever be done?

Silent Poets

There is no thing that’s love, There is not one whole truth, This is no spring of life, There no well of death, The one who does not know love, The one who claims he knows it true, Is but the one, the many, Too blind, and deaf, To know any thing in truth You say you don’t know what love is, I say there’s none that do, For love is more than white doves, Far more than drops of midnight dew Love is that, is all, That will for ever be true ………………………………. Not to be forgotten, Always misnamed, The one who calls not, Will always ring it’s name

The Lost Goddess Sequence

A Love that is Dammed Beauty is so queer So wretched So feared So lovely So good So brilliant O NO! I will not give way! No happiness stays But within her eyes! O why, O why! Why is this torture This tearing at heart Once it begins It’s never to far Your mind it is on That beautiful face No wrinkles No blemish in sight And when you are with her Your heart It is light But when she is gone Gone like the rest It will leave you depressed For this, it is love Not that old lie That lies the flesh But the key to the mind A dead key To a dead hope In this world today How I mope How I mope ……………………….. release The Haunt of a Face You haunt me, I see your face, In every glance I hear your voice In a distant laugh I see you here, I hear you there, And for a moment my soul My heart, and all my being Become elate with your coming But I remember, yes, too soon That it is not truly you You are in my mind now, You are a ghost, You haunt my thoughts You own my dreams You were the one, That was more than me ………………………………...... Even now I can not resist your beckon I am yours, as always For the one who is now gone… You still have Me!

Share Your Tears

My arms around you, Comfort you, Your arms around me, Comfort me, Hold you, Love you, As you love me, Together, for once And forever, But never, Will it be Tears, fear, Wishes above all, It would be, We, I think, If I were not me, And you were not you As it is I know I think I fear, That the tide, is nowhere near ……………………… What do you want? Would you dare. To share my tears?

Just Leave Me Alone

Just leave me alone, Please, just leave me alone, I don’t need to hear I don’t have that fear Just leave me alone Can’t you just, now, Leave me alone I don’t want to make you to think, to dream Just leave me alone, I fear It would be a trick for me, Just leave me a lone, To make you think I’m here, I'm here for you in this world of the drear Will you not just leave me alone, You others who I hold not dear, Will you not just let me be?

I am done here, Leave me be, Please, O’ please... O' I dream A dream of solace

The Sleeping Field

I am one, In a nameless field Not far from the city A cool night, Dim midnight, Around are flecks of dew I lay down, upon a ground Of weeds and condemned-cattle food I am alone, Yet I could not be, More consoled, The trees they sleep, People’s thoughts are meek As they turn and twist in dreams While they slumber, All the world's ordered, neat, And I am happy, To lay, On this meal of the dead, And smile until, This rest meets it’s end …………………………… Save me from the dawn (Of man)

Once forgotten secrets

All my secrets! Let them be told All my Secrets! Let them unfold All my secrets Just them go All my secrets fears, All my secret loves, All my secret senses, And all my secret follies, Let them go, Let them be, All my secret truths, Let the world see All that I know, All that I am, You can have, For it’s worthless to me, ………………………………. When forgotten, You are free
