My Life Without You
My breaks from the inside;
Its maim radiant as the gods
But weaker than the weakness of weakness,
If I open it and cast you out,
I might meet death and his horse
but why do I fear him-
I died without his help,
I drink of Lêthê, eat of the
succulent lotus
But your memory is as fresh
as the touch of a virgin's breast,
So I let you drip through the exploded aortas of my soul
Forming a clot of you in me forever,
Feeling a love like love loves
while you refuse to be mine.

Death
Pain is not pain that is not
felt by the heart
Or when your soul is not torn
apart,
When you feel nothing,
You hold on to anything,
And death becomes a relief,
She brings out forgotten belief-
Never takes you whole,
She tears up your soul-
Emotions imprisoned in stone
Drip out of you one by one,
It is like taking capsules of
sorrow,
That only make you hollow;
Stealing all the smiles
Of your lifes lived miles,
You cry, you say goodbye-
And then you die.

Hearts Apart
One blink, a single breath separates you and i,
I weep, never imagined i possessed so many tears
you lie six feet under, our soul disjointed.
You have taken all of me, why not too this heart?
It lies with me, void, consumed by mysery
its every beat, a grasp at fading memory.
Everyone tells me that time heals all, even you.
When we meet in another life, pass past me,
For my spirit will not survive an encore of this.
On that day, forgive me for breathing without you,
Goodbye forever; rest in peace.

The Lovers
Her sweat painted nipples brush against his skin,
Titilating and warming his blood as they gyrate slowly,
She feels his heartbeat ripple through her palm,
Something else rapping to and fro against her thigh,
He kisses her chin, neck down to her navel-
It is so quiet that he can hear her crotch breathe,
She then mourns in a tongue he knows not-
He understands the tongue though-of gasping parenthesis,
His crotch now a pendulum up and down patiently,
Heenters her recess they become one,
One two three times.

Easy come, Easy go
The way you poured into my life like purfume - fearless,
The way our eyes wrestled setting our hormones on fire - priceless,
The way our lips clasped making the world disappear - flawless,
The way we left earth after rolling over her - speechless,
The way earth quaked as we melted eachother - breathless,
The way we remained after minutes of bliss - timeless,
The way we felt after our muscles enervated - powerless,
The way we hoped the moment to have lived - Endless,
And why we did it only one time - clueless.

Save The World, Plant A Tree
Save the world, plant a tree,
For each one chopped, plant three,
Responsibility starts with you,
You actions, the things you do
We are one and the same,
Killing a tree gave no man fame,
They are alive- they breathe,
They feel pain- they writhe
Save the world, plant a tree,
For each one chopped, plant three,
Go green, stop global warming!
This is not a poem- a warning,
Trees are our friends,
Lets not treat them as fiends,
It’s in a deplorable state, her health
Show a little compassion for Mother Earth

What if life is a circle?
What if life is a circle?
We die; it goes back to where it began-
Its starting line, with suppressed memories,
Déjà vu being the little we remember from these-
Whistle blows; it races to find its destinies-
And providence always giving it chance to improve,
Luckily or stupidly it exactly follows its past paths,
Remaking the same mistakes, the same right decisions,
Re-loving the same lovers, re-crying the same tears-
To complete its revolution and start again,
Until the best and worst of us make it kingdom come?

Approaching Zero
Don't be sorry for fracturing my soul
Though it never again will be whole,
Loving you is worth the pain,
I would do it over and over again
Knowing the ending would be this,
Just so I may re-live the bliss
To try to change destinies mind,
Surely for us she would be so kind-
'Til the last dew of my breath,
I promise never to lose faith,
'Til the sands of our time wind up-
I will drink to you raising my cup,
Forgetting about the morrow
Even as I start approaching zero.

Broken
I believed the world was
round,
'Til I fell off the edge of your
soul,
Getting lost not to be found
Like you did not love me so
Not a tear in your eyes,
Watching my life I bleed-
And your soul black as the skies,
As I kneel and plead
My face loses luster,
I cannot be fixed
with a plaster
Was my love, to you a trophy?
Or an ingredient you used in a
ritual
To awaken your dead self?

Remember
The heart is deceitful above all things
And beyond cure, who can understand it?
The words it speaks or the songs it sings
Just to achieve what it sees for it fit?
'Tis the Lord that searches the heart,
'Tis he that examines the mind,
And weighs the souls of all art,
In the palm of his right hand
He rewards us according to our conduct,
According to all of our deeds-
Are they a good product,
The fruits of our seeds?
In the days of our youth,
Let us remember our creator,
Dedicating our every breath,
To him our sin's vindicator.
