Whisks and Kisses (Tanka)

 

Wonder woke with isms 

Amidst a lavender scent 

Cuddles and charming 

Lures beyond the high mountains 

And we kiss beneath the stars.

If I Close My Eyes

Look above where the angels dwell?

If I close my eyes, will I be there with them?

Will I touch the stars if I hold on to what I have?

Lost and found within myself,

If I close my eyes, will my tears bring any sense?

When will it all come to pass?

Shadows of what is…

Is all that is left, if I close my eyes will you close yours?

Will your heart beat as mine does forever?

Inspired by a song I love "Close My Eyes Forever".
Exploring my own mortality, what if I don't wake up tomorrow? 

The Animal in Man

They can kill our bodies but not our souls,

This splattered blood isn’t our dreams being

Drained from every essence of what makes us us.
They can sew our lips tight but our voices will always get louder.

The scars, blisters and burns on our necks

Are our pride, a victory to show how we overcame.

Through all this, you see us as all things bad,

Black or White skin; we are all the epitome of the gods.

Beautiful People (Haiku)

Beautiful people

Are life's broken symphonies,

Yet we hear them not.

Brothers and sisters

Forced to say goodbye again,

This time forever.

Beautiful people

lost in a wrath they know not

As we watch them soil.

The young, old and bold,

victims of man's endless greed,

Must strive for this life.

Beautiful people,

They are just that, beautiful

Just like you and me. 

Angel (Haiku)

All they see is you,

I see an unseen angel,

A light of each day.

Robin

High tides, vicious gales tell the tale,

Her story of glum sunsets and moon rises,

Her little wings hurt as she glides in a world,

A world she dreads where everything in it remind her to frown.

Slow gashes of nothingness bestow the unknown,

Her long and unchaining days bring her to a weep,

For her weak perches beg to be heard…

But the storm hushes her cries…she weeps, she weeps.

Silently her world wonders where she is.

Must the world be so cruel that she cannot see her hurting?

A fight within brings a flight to the abyss

Eyes open, eyes closed darkness all around

A thick smog of lifelessness is all that there is

More and more she sinks in what she fears,

Her heart beats yet she cannot feel.

A call, a hint that there’s a way roars,

Suddenly she can feel the thumps from her big heart,

Eyes open, flowers and a walkway appear,

There she is whole again like an embryo

Pure of the cold of this world,

Embraced by the allure of a smothering scent

She smiles, the glitz of her eyes reflect the uncut woman she is.  

For Sista Moe...

Beautifully Lost

Here I am

Lost but found

Beneath this shell

I found myself.

Alive in this abomination

I don't want to be seen

Or touched by you.

I am complete inside myself.

Like a fallen leaf

I go where the wind blows.

Now and forever, let the truth

Wash me in it's sea of pleasure.

What a Bloke Shoundn't See (Haiku)

Your wrinkled stockings

Appear a tad bit tired,

Why does thee bother?

You can be tasty

Like Dorothy Lamour in her youth. 

Ye legs are a snag.

All I ask of thee

Is to ditch them long stockings,

Then I can take thee.

Oh me daft ferrets

Moan endlessly about it.

Just lose them Nora.

I would like to see

Me lone bird really dressed up,

That would be sublime.

Orient Express --

Thee and I to Australia.

Think about it lass?

Dear Nora (Haiku)

Hey up me fine lass!

Tis the day I take thee home,

You shan't say no.

What Is...

This is a sublime inner conversation

Like whispers of the soul to a lone crowd.

This is like the high-pitched echos in 

The veins of affection with a mystic grip

Of what is...

This is grained within like a book's

Desire to be read wholly...

This is like the stars glimmering

Their embrace in the night skies.

This is what it is because life is

what it is; beautiful.

Winsome Sail

Swiftly guided into an enigmatic force,

A feeling locked between bliss and warmth lingers beautifully within,

Amazing though it is...it feels distant but charming all the same.

Drawn yet torn between the unknowns of the day,

My mind wanders to the shores of a sunset lite smile,

That moment froze and I sunk so deep in it's arms

That I became who I was really meant to be...

Awoken, enlightened and touched with something I can't even begin to define,

I know this this thing...is all I can call it will be the height of happiness.

The sweet scent of a worldly heaven is what I thought it was,

I daren't call it that though, naming it would be senseless,

With eyes shut, breath as slow as a boat moving with a gentle current...

Thoughts turn into something stronger and better and I wonder with amazement.

Lost Overwhelmed Virtuous & Enchanted (L.O.V.E)

When words cannot define what the heart feels,

And when the word "love" equates to a cliche;

immortality is born.

When her smile means more than the world,

When that alone makes me feel like I can...

I can do anything just to see her smile again.

I know now what this heart is meant for,

I feel I can live and die a thousand times

Just to get a single chance to see her,

Feel her skin against mine

and listen to her charming voice .

My will is overpowered by her;

For she cast spell on me long ago,

I will let lose my emotions and let us be,

Be as one soul, one heart

And one body underneath the bright stars.

Don't Wake Me Up

Don't wake me up,

I'm looking for you in my dreams,

As the sunlight forces my eyes to shut,

I lost you, a gasp I took...

I fell asleep again- don't wake me up!

As I walk through this crazy maze,

I find many lost souls and discover myself,

I don't know how I lost touch with reality,

Don't wake me up, I am trying to find myself.

Night brings not me to sleep,
If this is all, it must be my lone fall,

If this is all a dream please don't wake me up,

Let me sleep and wake up the warmth of your touch,

And the sparkling wonder in your eyes...wake me up then.

My Piece of Heaven (Haiku)

Her silky long hair,

Flow like the great Zambezi,

Steadily it goes.

Soft to my touch,

I feel her caramel skin

And melt in delight.

Her lips so tender,

Keep me longing for a kiss,

O' I feel like a child.

Heart of Pearl

I forgot how it feels to smile,

I feared my face would fall apart

And my pain would grow out for everyone to see.

The world wants me to be happy,

So I grabbed my happy shoes,

Tore my grief and threw it in that corner,

In case life happens…she should find me like this.

Note To Self

Life: Eternal

Love: Mortal

Endless like the darkness of the universe,

Joyous like a boat floating in the blue sea,

Motherly embrace grips with undying affection,

Abrupt like sunlight with it’s seductive warmth,

A scroll with words written in the sky

Yet this is what we hope for!

Beauty: Deception

Heart: Veracity

Like an egg it hatches,

Untouched like the beauty of the heavens.

As the sun shall set so will the futile perfection,

But a day will come were soul will embrace redemption.

Beneath the sand lays a dyke where no plant may grow.

Until that day, my thumping heart will have no cause to beat.

Sorry life but I have lost my faith in love!

Valley of Woes

Don't ask me why I have become this, this heartless man!?

For I have died a thousands times,

Cried tears that would fill the Nile

And embraced the pain inside like a charm of the darkness,

This life has seen me toll in the sorrows beneath my eternal...

soiled through the smog and forsaken by the sun's warmth

My cause has seen better days,

My heart has been filled with better emotions,

My smile now stretches with the hurt of pretence.

I've lived a million times

Through died in each day I have lived,

What's in a heart when it's pulse is faint without cause to be?

When the dark embrace grips it's bitter claws on you, you'll understand

Why each day is a laborious struggle.

The indignity, the defeat, the culmination of this spoil is overwhelming.  

Ye Hath Kyllen Thy Heorte

Thou hath stolen something,

A measure of thy own goodness,

A sight to remember, like a rainbow thou beeth,

Pierced with magnificence and a heart to follow,

Lost in thy presence, I beseek to be in the warmth of thy hands.

If forever I be denied from the kiss of your tender lips,

Thy shall bleed with a sorrow so deep no leech my heal,

Thy solemn wounds shall moralise thy dimness...

I summon the heavens to take me home.

All I Want

I want you…

I want you to know that I am dazed by you,

I want you for you; a soul with a meek ambiance, 

I want you to see how I see you…a perfected masterpiece!

I want you to know that I am your pillow when you need one,

I want you for the heart you hold, the smile on your face and the adorable giggles you make.

I want you to walk with me to the shores of bliss and all things wonderful,

I want you to believe in us, a union made by the gods themselves.

I want you for me as I will eternally be yours to love...

I want you to be you because that’s who I want,

I want you and no one else in this world...

I want you to hold my hand as we immortalize what we have,

I want you to kiss the heart in me as I will for you,

I want you to be the one I kiss every morning and every night,

I want you to be the dream I have longed for,

I want you to be everything I have ever wanted and more…

All I want is to gaze in those lovely eyes, O’ they are so beautiful!

For the life in me…all I want is you!

Is that too much to ask for!?

Divine and Charming Floret

Starlight, star bright...
Let the light from far beyond
Shine through the spector they know her by,
Like a morning glory, her purple petals will blossom
And she’ll rise like the phoenix she is…  
To reveal the ornate splendor she holds…
She will creep to the galaxies and touch each
And every star like the adorable toes on her feet.


High in the night skies…her majestic grandeur
Glimmers like an Orion descending to the Earth
A lone bloom to the eyes and thoughts she is,
The envy of Aphrodite and Venus she is,
A mystic fascination she is…
O’ how wonderful it is just to gape
At the marvel she is..


A forgotten charm lurks
Like a story untold…
She wanders gracefully like a
Lost songbird gliding through a rose maze,
As a flute softly plays from lands unknown…
Her wanderlust’s enchantment to touch glee rises,
Once again as it was when her wings flapped
With a vigor to be…to be whole.
As her royal heart throbs with a passion tune
She sets off  flames of a holy adulation.
