Distorted Picture

Desirable to look at every man's dream
Immure in her own world
Secrets held close in her heart
To many let downs
Over shadowed by sorrow
Reality viewed through closed eyes
Tendency to fall under spells 
Essence of spirit dulled by lost of innocence
Decrepitude of an image reflect in a mirror

Presage of her life carried on the wings of a black crow
Interlace with destiny
Circumvent death, she laughed in its face
Tourniquet twisted inside her soul
Ubiquity of her love was felt in the darkness
Remedy of lost youth retouched by the stroke of a paint brush
Erased away an ugly
DISTORTED PICTURE        

Love Takes Me Higher

Love takes me higher
all my heartache is erased
healing is loves power
chasing away darken clouds
out comes the sun to embrace
my spirit, my soul
awakening a flower
that has seen too many
sad days
turning my tears into joy
returning hope I thought
I'd lost forever
I can see the future
where once I didn't
believe I had one
a flower in full bloom
destiny is no longer
a stranger

Widowed Mother (Poem Excerpt from Illusion)

Somewhere in the night lays a shattered heart
singing out for love
The song can't be heard for it lies deep within her soul
She sings of sorrow, of afflictions heaped upon her spirit
She sings of her regrets to many to be numbered
I hear her song, loud as the rolling thunder
A song of a woman betrayed and angered
She sings of the darkness she calls her own
She sings of the man that left her cold
She grieves for a child she was to bear dead in her womb
She sings to God, pleading for salvation
lifting her voice up to the heavens
She sings of the widowed mother
I can hear her, can't you?
I can see her, can't you?
I can feel the anger, the rage
I sense the pain strongly pumping through her veins
Listen, listen and you to can hear
the song that is as strong as the distant thunder
It is the song of the widowed mother

Don't Damn the Damned

Don't damn the damned
Be scared to embrace the situation of their plight
Fear their decisions to run or fight
Give into the shame of their name
Refuse to let society place a label on them
Hide in a hole buried beneath the ground
Curse the color of their skin because

Of it they're not worthy to be loved
Reach out your hand to them
With the swiftness of a serpent they

Strike back
Hold no grudge, the damned are human too
Full of faults and attitudes
Restless and roaming the great vast land
In search of anything that will
Make sense to a meaningless life
Share in their pain empathize as
They struggle to remain sane
In this world of a plastic bubble
Count the hours and not the days
Of their survival
Shout with them their frustration
Level a wall like the Walls of Jericho as they
Fell down
Stomp out hatred
Let the wind blow in love
Confused the damned are
What is all the confusion for?
Trying to understand how wrong 
Makes right and right you
Have to fight for every little thing
There is no justice in a world cold
To them they are damned without being known
What makes them who they are, their strength their weakness
Don't damn the damned tears they cry are real as yours and mine
The pain that's felt when betrayal is a way of life
People sit on pedestals looking down their righteous nose
Where is my sin they ask, but your sin I point out at
Every chance
You'll find no peccadillo in me
I'm pure as the driven snow
Chest puffed out
Pride they climb into bed with each night
But the damned know when they lie down to sleep
And they fall away and dream
Pride is sweet but if there's no one to lying on the other side
Pride is empty as it is revealing
Don't damn the damned their not asking for
Your pity not seeking acceptance, looking for understanding,
Give them the benefit of the doubt
They are more than a face in a lonely crowd
Who might the DAMNED be?
You, me, any one, every one
Don't damn the dammed

Madness

It's madness that's what it is
To keep going around in circles never coming to an end
Chasing after invisible dreams
Falling into nightmares it always seems
So easy to fall asleep and dream of madness secretly
Oh if only I could escape for one day
Sanity may return
Madness is forever near
It doesn't let me forget who is running the show
I scream inside my head for this madness to
disappear
It only laughs at me and keeps up its charade
Teasing and taunting me till I'm in the grave
Even there I will not escape for Madness will
follow me into eternity
I'm safe no where
Madness

Life's Seed

Life's full of disappointments
I'm going to roll all mine up                  
Stuff 'em in a joint and                            
Smoke my troubles away            So much heartache 
Watch the haze dissipate
Into nothingness

   

                                            The seed of hate
                                             planted in a bed of
                                             dampen earth
                                             watered with tears   
So much pain                   fertilized by word
                                             spoken in ignorance
                                             The seed sprouted
                                              roots growing strong
                                              and firm, wrapped
                                              their vines around a
                                              heart choking out love 

Too Hot

Make me quiver

when you deliver

a love so explosive

I melt into molten lava

Volcano eruption

Too hot 

seismic activity rocks the 

earth's core as we go for  more

two souls become one whole

A uniqueness, too sweet

to be left incomplete

Too hot

as you give up apart of

yourself 

and taken on a part of me

Too hot

desire, lust, sensual craving

feed on your hunger

juice of delectable nectar

Too hot

I burn

you sizzle

flames erupt

we dance to a feverish tempo

Too hot

screams of pleasure echo

Baby, don't stop keep

coming , coming into me

grab me. hold me

love me, love me

til the fire is no longer

burning, embers slowly die
away

Too hot
