So I sought out a word
But was only to find
That not one did justice
To the thoughts in my mind
Nor could hope to send shivers
Tingling down my spine
Not the warmth of your touch
Of your hand in mine
None showed rapid ascent
Nor Steady Decline
None showed the love of a man
Nor the Ties that bind
I swore I'd find it
I thought myself blind
But only by a love
I couldn't define.
For once I'll admit my fear
Yet I'm ignorant of power higher
Hearken, He's almost here
Be wary but do not fear
You must overcome the mire
For once I'll admit my fear
His power complete and sheer
I hear his footsteps nigher
Hearken, He's almost here
He comes to collect every year
Some for glory some for fire
For once I'll admit my fear
For who He comes is unclear
Yet He will ne'er tire
Hearken, He's almost here
Orderly Enntropy? Queer
For the situation dire
For once I'll admit my fear
Hearken, He's almost here
I awake to find you bleeding
Precious seconds barely breathing
I stammer dispassionately with passion seething
All together alone I'm grieving
My brow and face from sweat now gleaming
Down my face a tear now streaming
Alone I sit my insanity bleating
Cradling my sanity heart half beating
For the chance I'm wrong just thinking dreaming
I'm on my knees praying pleading
I curse you kiss you silently screaming
The place where I stood
But a stranger to me
Surrounded by people
With whom acquianted was she
Outside where we lay
My heart sat a flutter
For I'd chosen one
Now I wanted the other
Sweetly her breath
Did Flirt with my own
And shuttered the house
Where my heart held a home
For I was the Fire
And she was the brush
And steadily we burned
With every last touch
As I took my exit
She awaited my leave
A night I would cherish
The night I would grieve
So scoured he to a flame in the night
Like a moth was drawn, hunger his plight
Searching for food, to him but a meal
For what was his food, but what he could steal?
Grendel, this creature so sadly forgotten,
Crept within these halls, inlaid and rotten.
And there slept a feast, amidst this decay
Asleep these soldiers, these soldiers his prey.
He consumed a soldier, then grasped one more
The Demon awoke with a strength of lore.
He writhed to be free, his will in vain
Unforgettable strength, unrelenting pain.
With the flickering flame came a clamorous sound
Shaking the floors and walls and ground.
Shiny sliver swords stung at his h
Oh for the sating and growing
The reaping and sowing
The highing and lowing
Somber tune to crops’ the mowing
A fertile ground a sound, the hoeing
Ebb of a river of tides a’ flowing
Sanctity of a soul ne’er showing
A run to market, a’ to and froing
A glower in darkness, something’s glowing
A pull of the plutonian, an under a’ towing
Lapping of shores, a vessel a’ rowing
Harken a Raven, Lenoir’s a Poeing
Words concocted without many’s a’ knowing
Hinder the faster, incite a slowing
I grew for you this garden
Through which my love does live
I am but a poor man
So I have but this to give.
I hope that you will take it,
And my promise too.
For when we are old and grey,
Much more I’ll give to you.
And through this lovely garden
In which my soul outpours,
Lies within its confines,
A key to all my doors.
Shrouded in its secrecy,
And roots this door of lore
Mine
I sit by the phone
I wait for your call
Who would have thought
This fast I would fall
Two months have gone by
We grow closer yet
The look in your eyes
I'll never forget
They tell me I'm wanted
They tell me you care
Say that you're happy
And will always be there
I look at us now
I look at us then
Had I the chance
I'd do it again
For you are to me
A beautiful flower
Yet you're all the more sweet
And none the sour
A waking thought
And my parting dream
The end of my river
And start of my stream
Wondrous our meeting
Sweet our kiss
A taste of skittles
A taste of bliss
I gaze in your eyes

Death By Any Other Name
Who are you?
Quoth the Harridan who knew my name not.
You need not know my name for it's all in the same
But know you've surely forgot.
What say you?
Spake the Harridan before me.
You needn't know what I said if alive or if dead
But soon you surely shall see.
What are you?
Levied the Harridan fearfully so.
You needn't know from whence I came or the cursed name
That adorns my thorns that I shan't show.
I can't tell you who I am,
For it shall ne'er be known.
O'er and o'er to reap what the sower
Has already diligently sewn.
That, old hag is what I can say,
And from dusk 'till dawn it is what I must do.

Something to Think About
A hand is a hand
If on maiden or man,
But is a plan still a plan
If it has just began?
Is it not just a thought?
An idea just brought
To mind just to find
It's one of a kind
Is this poem a poem?
Do you deny that you know 'em?
The ones who use words
To imprint damsels and birds
In the minds of the fellows
To stir up fire like bellows,
Ones who prod and pester
Who you call a jester.
If you've commenced to snore
You'd see my night was a bore,
Had not a thing to do
So I wrote this for you.
So thank you for reading,
And now I'll be leaving.
Thanks for the times
You've read my rhymes.
To begin my sojourn
Pajamas must I a
Escape-
Counterproductive Productivity,
Sickening madness ensues activity.
Dirty ablutions honor misdeeds,
Ones who follow come to lead.
On a pedestal so high above,
A life unfit, fits like a glove.
Try to escape, you they’ll find,
Cry for attention, they won’t mind.
Free the phoenix, harness the fire,
Oppose the king, face the pyre.
Atop your fortress so high and mighty,
You cower in fear in corners nightly.
Missing things I once had sought,
To tables my feelings were brought.
Porous were the tables, so things fell through,
Impervious my sprit, to get to you.
This blazing inferno, a hellish realm,

Blessed be the cage,
My heart herein lay.
Cursed be the rue,
I held for that day.
Tired be the mind,
For the tongue withheld.
Week be the knees,
Of the one once felled.
Meek be the one,
Requesting a breath.
Jolly be the pair,
Together till death.
Shamed be they,
In another bed lying.
Lonesome be she,
Often nights crying.
Forsaken be he,
To a symmetrical land.
In heaven be they,
Locked tightly by hand.
Merry be he,
As would seem to all
Cold be he,
So ready to fall.
Enchanted be she,
Swept off her feet.
So hopeless be he,
For a love so sweet.
Zealous be he,
Ever lost in her eyes.
Immortal be he,
Yet slowly he dies
I saved for you a flower
In which my soul resides
Now the soul has quit the stalk
In which my body hides
I saved for you a flower
Now a soul-less man am I
From your garden I was plucked
Yet the flower shan't ever die
I saved for you a flower
Ne'er given without my love
For this my only flower
Was grasped by your glove
I saved for you a flower
From which my heart outpours
Spilling upon the canvas
That is mine and yours
I saved for you a flower
Barely stolen from the frost
Not as frigid as my fear
For without you I am lost
I saved for you a flower
For my demons I had to sate
And by your side forever
Shall it ever wait
How do I love thee?
A Shakespearian query
The question too strong
For this love so weary
For far too long
Has he remained leery
Your actions ambiguous
Equivocal are they
Do what you will
Whatever you may
Harvest your mill
Lengthen your stay
Turning and churning
Restless my sleep
Awaken me sweating
A concept to keep
Not surely forgetting
A thought so deep.
When I found you there
Nigh was my heart
Only sitting very briefly
Gave suddenly a start
Almost a row beneath me
A year past our part
Shun me not
Forgive me dear
My sincere repentance
Ever draws near
With every sentence
All becomes clear
I promise to you
M
