Nostalgia, love of old,
Ballads, jazz and soul.
Like plants that grow, 
No matter of distance,
Our roots are at home.

Touched upon her form,
Lasting, no fall or saddle,
Forever, as if upon a horse.

For all my efforts: Still not together.
Constant pressure, carnal pleasure,
About successes: 'Still... I lost forever.'

Like a stock trader thinks of affection,
First place thinks of second,
Penguins think of grasslands, 
Dryness, is to wetness.

I don't think we belonged together,
Like how a bass needs pedals,
or your face needed makeup,
Crimes, need a witness.

Arms, fall to arms,
Promised heaven,
Gone forever.

Far, far too long,
Galloping horses,
Opposite direction.

Advancement forever,
Like standing to stomping,
Spying to friendship.

Beyond process: Beyond measure.
Behind me are the days of leisure,
Hot temper, involvement of parent,
But you, I see are still there.

Covet beyond edges,
White lattice fences.
Void, in contentment,
It can destroy forever.

You're right about nothing,
So spare me a lecture,
Our neighbours are different,
Mine don't talk in direction,
And they ask if I'm still here.

Beneath the heather,
Under her breath,
Behemoth... Never.

But demons forever:
Dreams of perfection,
Peaceful agendas, 
Deeper connections, 
Traded for equal attention. 

You always had mine forever, 
Free from aggression, 
Free from unpleasance, 
Free from pretending, 
Free happiness forever. 

That's not what you want? 
Beneath a sweater,
Under her breath,
Again, another.

So she says,
Free from justice ever,
When it comes to affection.

So she never opens up,
Free, of attendance,
Free, hand percussion,
Free, for jackals and buzzards,
Until they see something better.

Like the sun goes away, 
You should be by again, 
Instead, darkness stays,
Things change forever. 

Color is what he liked,
Now, it's black and white, 
Weddings, wallflower,
Cocaine and dice. 

Like a sun, centre sky, 
No exit stage right,
Eyes upon you, finally, 
No escape from caskets,
Or tricks to mezmerize. 

I wish I could tell you why,
Like the eyes upon you,
I can't sell you a lie, like, 
Everything is wonderful. 

You lost your mind with narcotics,
You lost your magic along with it,
Like the sun goes away,
You should be back again,
Instead, darkness stays.
Color, is what you liked,
Now, it's black or white,
No weddings, wallflower,
Mostly cocaine and dice.

Split lunch, near touch,
Dim bulbs, ringed dove.

Tired of the pressings,
In books for protection.

Heightened senses, high centrism,
Hybrid ethics, sighted, selfish.

Ringed dove, signed confession,
I wish love just lasted forever.

Street drugs, steel drums,
Words of the screen dumped,
String fuzz.

Dum de Dum Dum, 
Needs of people, needs of leaders,
Needs of few, needs of one.
Dum de Dum Dum,
Steel drum, street drugs,
Ideologies, belief succumb,
Jesus died hearing Dum de Dum Dum. 

Answer the phone, I need love,
Answer the phone, obscene words,
Absence of hope, the ringing stops,
But, after a war, It never does,
Forever and ever, it goes on and on.

Have dreams,
That's how you achieve them,
Not bat ears and canned heat.

Billy Bragg says 'freedom is' ,
But whiskey is softer on ears,
Randy Blythe pushes people,
Carried off as he prescribes.

Chlorine, yonder, sapphire dyes,
In your heart you can see their eyes,
You never fully extinguish a life. 

Murderer, she says, most immodest,
Mostly chlorine water in response,
Yonder, the noble's calling,
It turned her to stone on the inside.
To me, like sapphire and diamonds.

To her, being pushed from a stage,
Down past concrete, into a grave. 
Into the maze, blue, into the grey. 
Now you are mine forever.

ceaseless, i wait here in my hall of stone.
my continuous, meditative, monotonous vigil only broken by the sound of a camera shutter or the scratch of charcoal over rough paper.
my silence never ends, since my marble knees do not know the hour when they will straighten and carry me away, nor my spine knows when to crack and unfurl my body tall, higher than the skylight under which i am displayed, nor my dainty dress knows when to settle itself more comfortably over my shoulders.
so here i remain, forever more statue than woman.

one evening, out of the blue twilight the night guard saunters in, bold and butch and self-assured
(her footfalls give her away)
without warning, she leans in close, shining her beam in my placid face, and i cannot blink away the yellow light
(and never would, just to glimpse once more upon her lovely face)
hastily she whispers in my ear, instantly transforming my marble to rose quartz
and slowly then, she kisses me, soft and earnest and fleeting
and suddenly i am more woman than statue.

Snyder, my love.
Be fire,
Be tyrants,
Be spiders or vipers,
Lions or Tigers.
Whether climate, or giants,
Highland or island.
Even cliffs to climb, 
Forever, higher and higher.
Even if frightened or tired, 
Jalapenos, cheese, honey, mustard,
Hot sauce, ranch.
What is pious and righteous,
I would face fury of unarmed combat,
Against gunfire, to have you again.

As I see
World's fire
No end soon

Together
We are strong
Fight fire

Arise now
Golden light
Great beyond

World of hope
Happiness
Full of love

Laughter here 
Forever

Some composers write bland forever,
Passionate sellers, mechanical components,
Bad poem after bad poem;
Best service as archers than soldiers,
Philanthropists of the moment, 
Amateur poet of farmers knowledge,
Larger wage, cannabis smoker;
Boxer of drama, reading poems and novels,
Softer and lower, he sees darkness;

Despite wire fences,

Bones that manage to crack,
A love forever lacking,
What one cannot foresee comes again.
Losing fights that cannot be won,
outgunned, outlasted, nor outrun.
A foot forced to shrubs,
But what of the lungs?

Lonesome, handsome fighter,
What of your gloves?
What of your sums?
Poster person, spokesman,
What of you becomes?

Show me that night underneath the sky
when you pulled me close
but i am nothing but smoke in your hands. You are
my ghost—or am I yours?—
and we float away up to the sun.
There’s a shadow around the corner
and it haunts me.
I flee into your arms—
into you—
and the fire between us
chases it away. I don’t want to leave
but you can’t stay
and I ask you, please.
I’ll let you go forever
if you just stay tonight, here with me
and whisper in my ear
that you’ll never leave

Does one write music, 
Tunes or conclusions,
When tongued foolish?
Could God write a poem,
So deep and wholesome
 he could not read,
Without tears in tandem?
Feet so sore-stung,
Like a horse in the open,
 he would forever run,
Chasing free of freedom,
At best, to never love.

Leased bells, music borrowed,
Please, tell me of tomorrow,
Of swallows leaving belfries, 
How else can my ears will,
Until I hear their sorrow?

Peter, son my lover callous,
Draperies and linen, down,
Failure? This linebacker asks,
Just throw my ball, pass,
Runs forever to never catch,
How will I know his sorrow?

Unless he is, as a tinder match,
Tender lover of impossible tasks,
Inflamed tether, ball impassible,
Gasoline for the man who hits.
