Except For Dreams

It’s so hard
To go forward
He said looking
Slightly to the sky
So hard to build

Easy to destroy

Why do you
Think that is
He asked me
Awaiting an answer
That he knew
I knew

A pause
As birds
Fly across
The sunlit
Skies screaming
Their freedom

Except for dreams
He said before
I could answer

Except for dreams

Pen

A tear ruptures the frame
Individual reality screaming
Abstract enlightenment unworded
Expressionless it dwells within
Ripping through all thought
Until there is only

One

To share verbalize explain
To open perspective eye ear mind
End beliefs and believe anew

Mind out of time speaks to the next
Mouth piece of the brain
Salivating theories
That pool into words

Instrument of birth
Spilling life between the margins

Excuses

Marriage of media to beast
Slave to foreign currencies
That wash ashore on native currents
Indigenous the waters
Extraterrestrial the life
That drinks of its body

“To live,” thus spake the parasite

Heliocentric view that we may see
Blinded by its looks
Literal interpretations
Of ancient fiction
Over wine laid on the backs
Of prostrate children

“To live,” thus spake the parasite

Fire from skies akin
To some ancient fulfillment
Arms racing like two hands
Moving forward to grasp the same things
Greedy to crush that which offends
The beholder’s eye

“To live,” thus spake the parasite

Below the Mountain

Said the Oracle

It is a given that time
Moves and is measured
Increments within cerebral boundaries

So in essence / Ancestor of existence
Inner thought can make love to eternity
Conceiving internal immortality

Watching silently as the
Oracle pleasures herself
With her own wisdom

Watching the heart
Measure the pulse
Of limited life

Watching lives
Lengths measured
By thoughts and mind

The consciousness stream for
Ever measured within itself

Said she below the mountain

Imperishable!

You wrap around
Snake in flesh
Bite delivers pain
Pale is she
Scales of winter
Burn like crimson flame
Her words like death
Disguised as life
It hurts to say her name
To those that ask
Surrogate wife
I choke her in my dreams

We fall we fall we dance through the air
On wings of angels slain
We talk of things from one to the next
But we never can hear a thing
We die resurrect just to hang by our necks
Just a test my choir would sing
I sing I sing of the moment of death
When we mated our flesh to our graves

It is said that
The ways of
This woman is wild
A past that lies
Longer than
Many a mile
She says not
What you heard
With a smile
So dread her
Coming flee if
You’re found

To believe or not to believe or not
Remember that she wears the crown
She deceives but can hardly see
So watch who you be when she is around
Her name is a sound offensive to clouds
They cry and cover the sky in a shroud
They know that she is the bringer of dark
The slayer of all things profound

This poem is a sort of alternate/opposite remix to How I Feel About You

How I Feel About You

Shafts of light melt icy will
Causing a river of emotion
To cascade down a mountain of desire
Reaching for the salty oceans of love

Thoughts evaporate
Into clouds of intelligence
Occupying a sky of acquired knowledge
Raining wisdom
Upon grounds of understanding

Muddying my perception

Back to Sentiments of the Cerebral

I suppose the title explains it all…a short poem of mines, really just one big metaphor 🙂 – read it and find others at: http://bit.ly/HowIFeelAboutU

The Response

On the page is the battleground
Pen equals sword and the cuts
Spill ink and the words lay opponents down

She choked on the image he invoked
When he said that his head so feels
Like a cage full of cynic’s quotes

Brave be the being that would soak
Up dictated prose rather than listen to the notes
That its spirit wrote

Age twenty four named Ra
Sun of many hosts
A believer in the magic that created what so many know

That’s knowledge and I’m ready for the stones
That so many throw
Bet you that I’ll snatch em out their paths
With so many flows

And
Let
Them
Fall
To
The
Earth

Challenge accepted

I’ll breathe out my gift through this curse

Styx

For I am not scared he said
To the man in black
Fearing the dark rebuttal

Flew the lie upon wings

Of sanity’s dieing light
It hangs in dark skies
Cloudy his thoughts and eyes dark

Misted the rivers

For who dares cross that liquid
Body without tears
Gold coin pressed beneath their tongues

Odyssey’s payment…

River of Tears

I also used this poem, Styx, as part of an intro to a song from an unfinished album, Stark Silence – the song is called River of Tears, you can hear it below:

River of Tears (Intro) by SilencioBarnes

Starks (@starks-official)gave me this short beat…so I used it for the intro…of course, I didn’t know River of Tears would be an intro until today…when I recorded it 😛

Beyond Your Surface

I can see beyond the surface
Pass the shouting and the cursing
That deep within yourself
You are shallow/without purpose

Like a stagnant/fetid pool
That hides behind a pretty curtain

But baby I can see
I can see beyond the surface

Pass the talk of you by you for you
Pass your feelings as a person
Pass the promises you made
With full intent to leave them broken

But I’m not blind nor I a fool
That closes eyes if I’m not certain

Because I can see, yes I can see
I can see beyond the surface

Pass the rum let me forget
That you exist within my circle
Pass your petty grievances
Haze the past with something purple

Pass the things you’re quick to claim you know
Like the ignorance of nobles

Cause they cannot see beyond
Their foibles to another person’s toil

A Need To Fall In Love

A Need to Fall in Love

And she looked at me
Right into these two browns

And Said Child,
You need to fall in love

Well
Well
Well

I’ve started love
I’ve finished love
I’ve learned how words
Can diminish love

I’ve followed roads
To the ends of love
To make a long story short
I’ve been in love

I was in love
I’m still in love
This diamond ring on my pinky
Used to be on her

I wasn’t birthed by love
I was cursed by love

I know that look in her eyes
When I hurt my love
After the promise to her
That I’d never hurt my love

I’ve been blessed by love
I’ve been vexed by love
I’ve been asked those tricky questions
Made to test my love

I know the wistful thoughts
Of unrequited love
I’m ill equipped for love
I’ve gotten sick of love

Listen

I’ve searched for
Found one
And lost me a real love

If love is the fountain
I thirst to be filled up

A
Pause
In
My
Rhythm

Stop

I have had a whole half of me
Forcefully ripped the fuck off
Left bleeding and hurt and broken
Down down down into devastation

But I did not cry

The tears came later
With a phone call

After my verbal prostration
I was told of the new
Improved me
Was politely informed
That it would probably
Be for the best

If we were to never speak again

She hung up
Next day
Changed her number

I have been removed
Replaced by love

I have been in love
With the idea
Of being in love

I have been
And still am
Loved by those
Who accept
The non-
Reciprocation

They find
Our bonds
Are breaking

When they tell me
They love me
And look
In my eyes
And see that I
Will not
Give them
The lie

Sorry

I am not your final destination

Because I know

I know the joys
The fulfillments of love
I know the poets love
The singers love
I know platonic love
A swinger’s love
I’ve had childish loves
I often dream of love
I have spilled out my soul
To redeem a love

I’ve often been told
There’s no such thing as love

And for a while
I believed

Stop
