Rest Easy

 

 

 Rest Easy              (tag poem unedited)

  Work weary and teary eyed, waiting 
  for the big break, a slow day, some pay back 
  Afraid to  love without hesitating
  Tensed and always prepared for the attack... 

  Strangling on the words that might do magic
  when all else, including prayers have failed.
  Weighing misery against the tragic-
  feeling guilty once  self pity's sailed.
 

  Karmic incantations make me wary
  going round takes years before returning.
  Dreams go up in smoke in easy flurries;
  hearts ache before heads have lost  their yearning. 

  Rest is for the innocent and carefree
  able to close  down and hear their  sighs- 
  not a task so simple for the likes of me...
  nightmares wait upon my closing eyes.

  So please rest easy when  you have the chance
  take your reverie while yet you may,
  life is incident and circumstance
  tomorrow  rests on easy yesterdays.
 

Kiss of Bloody Sky

Kiss of Bloody Sky

 

 Wish on the darkest star-
 if you dare you can delve very deep
 and discover the blackest of galaxies
 in the heart of the blackest of holes.
 Hold your heart in your hands
 swallow fast all your gasps
 there 's no god here to protect you
 you're outside of heavens grasp...
 Breathe deep as you tumble away
 in directions you cannot reveal
 No one tells of excursions like this
 No one really believes it is real.
 When the free fall is finished ,you'll find
 that your wish has been granted full well-
 and the kiss of the bloody red sky
 told you more than you hoped it would tell.

Escape the Night

(tag poem, unedited)

 

 Escape the Night

 Innocence and pretense
 false and true
 shaded eyes , moons disguise
 blue...
 Moonbeams and drama queens
 shining in the lights
 whispers lost among the screams
 Heights...
 Innuendos and crescendos
 quiet and intense
 waking hopes and nightmares grow
 sense..
 Daybreak and twilight
 escaping the night 
 dreaming in sunshine..
 bright.
