Night Owls ( Protitutes are Honest people.)

Night Owls.. (Prostitutes and Honest people)

Owls being locked up in a cold iron cage,
taken on a money spinning Hollywood tour.
People quite rightly filled with disgust and rage,
still they show no love for a downtown whore.

Dangerous streets deadly dirt filled syringes,
got to shoot as her body starts feeling bad.
On a pimps integrity her life now hinges,
she don’t care about being happy or sad.

A person adored by me

It was the other day
Your skin was glowing
The sun shined on it
Your eyes where just amazing
I tried to look but could not
Your phase was just too good

Words are just cheap
They are just not enough
Not enough to describe your beauty
They just make me be me
A cute girl you are
Strong and firm I'd say

A world of beauty
Passion of trust
Cute as a kid
Strong as a Lion
You are adorable

OT TRET YAGO LITSA

a window desires nights darkness
filling up the form
rising
stalking a thirst like jewels

Yana

Slick black frames
rest on a wide
snub nose

A tergo
"Wolfs snout"
Vision Dreamer
the harsh cheap
market cigarettes
dangles from
the mouth of
Yana

Furrowed dark
brows
summer storms

I am Pharaoh

I am Egypt, I am Pharaoh,
I build my Empires on your backs
Work your bones to marrow
Place these stones into stacks

The world will kneel at my might
With whips and sickles you'll bleed
I'll work you from sunup to midnight
Your children will never be free

You'll never be human in my eye
Just slaves in rags with no rights
I'll live in my tower you built so high
In poverty holes your home sites

BUBBA (for wes who thinks I'm in a rut)

Bubba is a good ol' boy
who lives not far away
in his life he finds much joy
in an unusual way.

You see Bubba knows everybody
that you might think to mention
('specially after a night toddy
which dilutes his attention).

A friend of his got tired of this
NO one can know everyone
So he decided he'd fix this
and shut up the favorite son.

ACROBATICS :updated

ACROBATICS

On a flying trapeze
high in a summer breeze
no net below to catch my fall
I ride Life's winds
no cares at all.

I live for the joy
of the moment
and never look down
into the darkness I know

Time flies with me
and I hold on
as long as I can
but I'm starting to fall
again

you won't hear a sound;
no thud, no sigh
no weeping eyes
will follow me down.

Priest of the pyre

Castle black; of ashes
Burning on a swamp of fire
withholding self-
And 'em stones and saphire
One fall a thousand feet
Lies in ruin a temple and shire
A Priest rests in grave
Breathing smoke from the pyre
His eyes closed-
Wearing a face of gold
In his wake lies the tomb
Of years young and old
With a tear he awakes
To witness a weather so cold
Wither and then he aches
With the dread one beholds.
In shadow he awaits
For the need of a blue sky

P H A N t A S I A

tummelt welt
burn walk
the cottonthread tapestry
ratchet locked in its bitter metal bit
in a night taught as satin
deep as the dark
that suffers in the mouth
of the wax
uttering
its flickering licks
and whimpered
depths

..

Foreign Girls

Abstract,
Pretty faces,
Midnight races,
Foreign places,
Caught in the bustle of this craziness,

Lost in translation,
Is an understatement,
Of a state of mind so tragic,

Magic,
That's the feeling,
Lights of the main street,
So blinding,
Foreign girls,
So intimidating,
Breathing,
Getting heavy,
Cool breaking,
Now I'm faking.

But the wind is so gentle,
So I mellow,
A midst the vapor,
Emotions taper,

My Bouquet

Coiffed in bouquets-my flowers and roses,
every color presents a meaning;
indigo, ivy, and yellow daffodils
charming red, to flame the feelings.

Red is passion, love and energy,
orange summons moments of happiness.
Yellow's clarity, gold, and truth while
blue enhances the dreamer's calmness.
