POEM 45
TO MY FRIEND
Without you
I am incomplete...
Because of you
fame now Is ours...
Your beauty like spring
renews with color
the heart and soul
I vie with others
who desire you...
Full of life's thick blood
So often pricked by you
My blood has thinned to red ink.
I know your sting's pain
Un healing wounds I carry.
Yet like thorns on the rose
I desire to protect you.
I am scorched by your fire ...
Smoldering like the Kaknus
in the hot summer afternoon
which burns itself when singing.
I pursue life
because of you...
I feel myself rushing
like the passenger
going towards his destination.
My life is a grave
when you are gone ...
I within myself to hide
my body a lifeless shell
and people come prepared to bury me.

POEM 46
AWAKING FROM THE NIGHT
The stars are nothing...
mere flashes of light
like sparks flying from the fire.
The poor are dry wood...
trying to light the darkness
till the break of dawn.
This is life deprived...
Where desires becomes hopelessness
carried upon weary shoulders.
Yet ever vigilant ...
They search for the light to come
and the birth of a new day.

POEM 47
ANTHEM OF…
DEPRIVED LOVE
Here ...
can not see ..
separation
Here…
darkness expands
the sunset.
Here …
lovers wounded …
heartbreak
our life
reconciles
in a single star
hungering for love.
Here …
time stops…
peace ends
Here…
burning fire…
destruction
Here …
life ends…
death
Here
new homes …
graves.
Here …
all love…
lost
Our life
reconciles
in a single star
hungering for love.
Here …
thorn paths…
impasse
Here …
life’s pathway…
deprivation
Here …
rain desired
thirst
Our life
reconciles
in a single star
hungering for love.

POEM 48
HOUSE FOR DOLLS
In moments past...
had I broken
that doll house of mud
formed by
love's innocent feelings.
Sweet Young girl
from mountains past ...
perhaps would not now
by those walls
my desires in prison be.

POEM 49
LIVING GRAVE YARD
This is a city...?
look round...
A grave yard
houses ...shops?
lines of stone graves.
Walking dead
blinded eyes
no light in sight.
No feelings
hearts frozen
humanity’s void.
Vultures roost
death reapers
barely they live.
Doom's angel
leading on
keeps the city.

POEM 50
THOUGHTS TIE
Oh dream
with open eyes
may I see...
beloved of my heart..
My ideal...
hidden from view
my heart's joy
my soul's sweet peace...
Friend...
Lover ...
Since my life began
only a shadow
hidden by the night...
Lost
Longing
Life’s brightness tied
till the day I find
The face of my dreams.

POEM 51
LOVE
Love...
deafens
blinding .
fearless
Love
melts stone
frees souls
expands
Two hearts
evolving
committed
And with Love...
Culture.
Location,
Beliefs,
All vanish.
This I believe.

POEM 52
TO A FLOWER
Oh Humanity ...
majestic flower ...
With great honor
a thorn on your stem
am I
Counting your petals
with lessons of life
I learn
To value life
for death I've seen.
To value the past
as present flees
To value light
for darkness looms
To value fairness
injustice seen
To value God
as graves are filled
So Humanity...
majestic flower...
With many thorns
devout we be
well guarded
Your beauty ...

POEM 53
THIS PLAY OF HIDING
There are eyes
I am seeking ...
There are eyes
searching me out ...
Neither eyes meet ...
Hearts desire ....
demanding
searching
always unanswered ...
This play of hiding
never ending...
_____
POEM 54
THE IRON AGE
Swords of Yesterday
metal on metal
hand to hand
Wheels of time turn
always in motion
can't be stop...
Once only an idea
now reality
Atomic Bomb
Humanity loses
Deadly is deadly
then and now...
Fear filled are humans
robotic be made
by the bomb.
