Shadows:

What lurks within the shadows
Can we see beyond our mortal self
Fear cries for us to run away
Yet we long to touch that which
none has ever seen or heard

Have some, broken through to brush
against something so far past their
understanding even they do not believe.
Has any of us yet been conceived
in that vast realm of understanding

Yet we participate as if we are
the only ones that live within
this universe, forever shedding
any idea that something else
might lurk within the shadows

Fire Flies:


Take me back to yesterday for
as a child I played and dreamed. 

With mason jars held wide open
full of fire flies glowing green.


As death fall on those dieing embers
I laughed through joyful screams. 

Now as I look back in wounded
was that magic all it seemed?

Two:

One night out walking I met just two.
I was asked, "What have you done that's new?"
"Would you care to dine on nectars of wine?"
"What would it take to get you entwined?"
One of the two said, "It would be grand."
Two of one, said, "Just a minute man."
"Have we offered wrongly to thee?"
"Have we misread what's not meant to be?"
I looked, hoping I would find
a soul hidden deep within mine.
I smiled and said, with a slight grin,
"You're right. Not now, or ever, my friend."

Ravings of a Mad Man:


“Should I start out with once upon a time, not long ago or even just back then?” Desk49 looked down at his keyboard. “Great I have to write a story and have nothing running between my ears today.”

“Why do you keep taking on these writing challenge Ellis is not here to help us.” Bill said in the middle of a big stretchy yawn.

“You think Ellis is the only one of us that can put two words together and make a story out of it, don’t you,” Desk49 yelled at Bill. “Stop trying to go back to sleep I need you and Muse to help me with this challenge. I can do the poetry by myself but I need help to come up with a new idea.”

Bill looked down at the keyboard. “Desk49 what about Boyokie? With Ellis mad at us and not coming out he might be our only hope.”

“Boyokie, are you nuts. The last time we let him alone on the computer he wrote a story about some time loop and told everyone I did it.”

“I thought you just wrote one about some trip down South on a train and a time loop?”

“Not that one. You remember the one where the guy was in a Bank and his watch stopped.”

“God not that one. That was the dumbest story I ever read. Desk49 if you try and write something like that I’ll take the use of our right hand away until after the challenge is over.”

“Fine get Boyokie but if Sara kicks us out of her blog I won’t speak to the rest of you all for a year. Stop smiling. I mean it. What do you mean you want me to cross my heart and spit on a toadstool? No wonder they lock us up, you guys are nuts.”

Shaking his head Boyokie wiggles his fingers. “What on earth have you three been up too?”

“Desk49 over there took on a challenge in Sara’s’ blog and is trying to come up with an idea for a story. We thought you might have one but nothing way out there in never-never land.”

“You guys remember what the Doctor said. The next time he finds me out, he is going to lock all five of us up again. Either get Ellis or just forget the challenge. Wait have you three read what you’ve already written? Just give this a name and turn it in. You could call it, {Ravings of a Mad Man}. Ha Ha Ha bye.”

“Desk49 you know Boyokie might have something there?”

“I think your right less do it. Hay Bill I think we’d better sing all our names to it.”

“Whatever, stop laughing muse you’re not getting your name on it.”

Desk49/Boyokie/Bill/Ellis and Muse

“There Muse your name is on it now so quit crying you’re getting on my nerves.” 
“Bill! Muse! Stop fighting I have other blogs to read.”

Rules

Rules controlling, suffocating lives
life is not rules but things changing.
Moving about us here and there
as does the wind going to and fro.

We are blinded by our own sight
so bright it keeps us in darkness.
We have yet to hear because
we tell ourselves not to listen.

Few will know what they’ve missed
as they follow along blindly as sheep.
Break away from their tight grip
to find that, which was never hidden.


I have to thank

For being my muse a reply to her blog

To Late:

Cold of steel
on temple rest
Finding where
it'll do the best

Finger touching
hardened steel
Rubber grips
numb the feel

Clicking sound
as chamber rolls
Seems easier
then I was told

Soft on finger
I feel a click
I'd better stop
I feel the kick

Roaring sound
within my ear
On my cheek
is that a tear

No more do
I feel the shame
I have only
myself to blame

Oh my God
what've I done
I've hurt all of
my loved ones

New Thoughts

Tho new thoughts dance
Around within my head
I wonder if others hear voices
Calling from dark corners
Voices telling them to listen

Do they hear them whispering
As they drift between thoughts
Showing them words written
On fine puffs of gray smoke
Floating through blurred vision

Do they not feel this madness
Forever going round and around
Day in and out, do they not hear
That deafening clicking in their heads
Choking them in their own insanity

And yet I am told to go on
To smile as if I know the joke
One I have not heard, but lived
Till death takes me home forever
To its world of foreboding silence

Rumors

Rumors spreads
of things done wrong
Once voice is heard
they linger long

Pain of heart
drives fire within
Burning threads of love
between them thin

Lies eat at their souls
with words unjust
Until love blows away
on winds of dust



I know this is a repeat

Universal Lovers

Who write these words
upon which I read
A universe of thought
provoked by lovers entwined
Tho I see not bodies but
souls from these two
Yet does flesh of passion
lie within body or soul
Or still yet just thought
When brought into the light
does it not turn maddening
As the clicking of wheels
across rails over and over
Until they see the darkness
each hidden from the other
And both look forward for
their next perfect lover

Deception

Eyes hear whispered thoughts
Bodies answered questions unasked
Souls rejoice in silence
