HEAVILY VEILED

Life love hope dreams
Friends lovers passion
streams like a steam liner
bulldozing through me

The waves that seem to
come all so frequently
crashing into my life
my thoughts my soul

Never giving a chance
to swim above it always
floating just on the top
enough to breath in rushed
fast paced sprints

Dieing day by day
hour by hour
minute by minute
take me out of this race

Sun filled days run into
pitch black nights
never feeling the difference
in this cloud filled haze

The darkness comforts me
hides the flaws my face
my pain encased like a
cocoon of wrath made
just for me

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

No longer climbing but scaling
these walls nails replaced by
claws leaving imprints in the cement
of this concrete jungle

Dream big they say find you way
they say.... " You Dream Big" !!!
I'm tired of the lies shrouded
in conceptions of long ago truths

Heavy... too Heavy
This veil is too thick
and my eyes are tired

~~ Sounds To Sleep By ~~

Sounds To Sleep By

The sirens pierce through me like a sharpened dagger

something is smoldering in this small corner of my city

the neighborhood is dowsed in dark and treacherous acts

I sit on my bed wondering which direction their coming from

should I duck from the window, will this be the night that a

stray bullet rips through my flesh like a hungry angry violent

virus.

The same virus that has claimed so many lives young and old

too many to count to this date, WHAT IS THIS SHIT!!!

I thought I was immune to the sounds. I hear them all the time

While I watch TV, when I eat , as I write, in my sleep……..

For some reason tonight is different tonight I feel it too

damned deep…. through my thick skin as it penetrates

my soul seeping through my lungs,stiffling the fears I

can no longer express unable to scream.. STOP !!!

Tonight I feel it just too damned deep .

~~ WILDWOOD DAZE~~

WILDWOOD DAZE..

As I ride this clanking somewhat rocky bus

we know as New Jersey Transit I ponder

my destination, while I joy ride to sunlit beaches

and do wop dreams that can only be WILDWOOD.

I sit here fighting that draining tired feeling that

always tries to steal my sunshine.

I will NOT allow it, for I am on my way to SANCTUARY.

AH' Sweet sanctuary the smell of the boardwalk , beaches laden 

with jelly fish and the call of the fudgie wugie man waits for me.

The smell of my childhood vacations, nostalgia flows through

my senses as if I were ten again.

I may be inspired to write a brilliant Shakespearian piece on

my way to Cape May County, who really knows.

What I do know is , I want to run my toes through the glistening

sand , have seaweed wash past me as I yell " AH SEAWEED"

Eat funnel cake and Curly fries slurp down clams and play putt putt

ride the biggest coaster they have all while staying a t a two star

motel from 1964.

Where I can bring back my youth as I forget the crime ridden abode

I call my home.

Breath in salt air , jump through a crashing wave as it washes my troubles

away, if only for a few days

As A Foot Note.....I wrote this about 4 years ago on my way to Wildwood NJ....On the 2 hour bus ride...lol. Thank you...for reading :)i

~~ UNCERTAINTY~~

Uncertainty

Everyday in everyway

Words, action, thoughts

Get twisted to fit the play

Honesty, integrity, truth

HONOR

Those words

The meanings are so far

From the lips of today’s

Fellow man

There was a time when

Someone would say

"I give you my word"

They meant it

My mind is encased

With the intentions

Of others

The paths they lead to

Are rarely golden

We must open our hearts

Open our minds

To another time

When men stood

For something

Stood by their words

Said them with conviction

Stuck by their actions

I do not see this in the

Eyes and minds of todays

Man

It breaks my heart

I sure as hell never wanted

To die alone

These days one never knows

LETTING GO

Letting Go

I released my problems with exhausted breathlessness

as if helium was the magic ingredient.

A secret whisper with years of frustrations entering

each colored balloon.

Up they go one by one with a wisp of my breath each

one floating on clouds of fate and hope.

The breezy feeling of it all comparable to that of a refreshing

shower washing my troubles down the drain.

Anointed beads of forgiveness beat gently on my face.

Each delicate vessel holds a different pain.

A distinguishable emotion that has caused me distress,

anxiety, misery , sorrow.

I let them go filled with doubt and heavy heart, freeing

me from disillusions that have held me captive.

What a daunting task for these fragile creatures filled

with my manifestations of anguish.

Some may make their way back down to me from time

to time , that’s life.

Now I close my eyes breath in then out filling my spheres

of freedom, cross my fingers and then ……….

LET GO !!!!!!!!

SILVERY LINES

SILVERY LINES

Cresting waves crash

Crescent moon stands

Half way here mid way

there

In those fine silvery lines

is where I see you , you

look back I blink your

gone

Blue moon, Red sun

Gray sky, Purple haze

Save me from my

Thoughts

Are you really there?

Stay! GO! Move on

Towards the clouds

Come Back

Through the fabric

There is a tear

Just enough to see

You

Just a strand of light

In there between night

beyond the matter silver

You Wait

Here in the glow

Of the earth until

sun meets moon

is where I am

When thread gives

To wind separate

Heart , mind ,soul

Body

Hushed Breaths

Eyes Closed

Dark meets light

I will see you

Again
