When Hades call....

As hades door is beckoning..false peace within the darkness

the rugged cares of this world...pushing you along it's suggestive path

Death is easy says the gatekeeper come within find your freedom at last

One soul split...colliding as the two are fighting..the 'light' says LIFE is hard

there's no changing that....but, the peace you are after....are you willing for

Mary to weep? have you commissioned Martha to moan? will you be responsible

for the raindrops that pour from the Master's throne?

Life is given to be LIVED! do not succumb to deaths will...that Hades will surely instill

once you go beyond that gateway...no turning back is there...no JOY or LAUGHTER

that softens the way for hardships to pass. no freedom..only finality at the end

of that path.

Don't be fooled by the seduction of no more cares...for deaths cold fingers will strangle

you...unawares....so LIVE your life, don't just exist....for hades waits .....regardless...

in the mist......

Disillusioned

What does it mean when you cannot trust yourself?

When you were blindsided by that 'one' and your

Spirit left you...hypnotized..and disloyal...like a magnet

Drawn to that someone else...you did not see the warning

signs...did not see the flashing lights...for when your soul

connected the energy was so brilliant...wrong would have looked

like right...so lulled by this beautiful nightmare...now

pain has become your pleasure...just to keep them there

for the lost of that one is the tragedy most feared.

Thus your soul bleeds...continuously...a wound raw and open

no gauze deep enough to saturate the ache

in each brief moment of distraction you find the greatest reprieve

and though succinct....these moments, you struggle to appreciate

you beg time to stop...to rewind itself...a futile discussion for time

is non-discerning and likes you no more nor less than some

stoic it is...jealous of everyone. So you question your spirit and you

plead to understand...why it left you helpless...vacant, as Wolffia in a barren land

the answer...no, the 'dilemma' that has been found

is when you cannot trust yourself...in a world full of people

...there is no one around.

Love kills....

Dying slowly...looking you in the eye...
you did this to me...
My heart slows with every tear
caused by your lie...
as I become weaker and weaker..
it's harder to wonder why...
I allowed myself to succumb
to your melodious lullaby...
You caught me unaware...
off guard...and full of hope...
You showed me what could be...
without telling me what was...
and now you've left me
in a sea of disillusionment
adrift and afloat
I gave you every fiber...
that was in me to give...
my faith utterly complete...
Did you see this in me?
that I would give my all...
knowing you would not catch me...
but would be the one to cause my fall?
Broken Heart...wrecked spirit...
my soul upon the wind...
closing this door forever...
for although it freely left...
LOVE did not enter in.

LOVE.....unsheltered

Heart splitting....no recourse...

one thing wanted more than most...

will it be?....soul is tired

who will put out this fire?

Never knew what it could be

Before I had a taste of thee

Mind and body melted within me

Heart unchained..you walked through

unable now to close that door

my senses changed forevermore

So simple it could be..me with you and

you with me.....

Beautiful Nightmare...

Heart beating it skips a chord when I hear your voice
It's like a symphony to my soul...my skin tingles
when you're near..a whispered breath across
my ear... my body quivers from your touch..
crying out in anguish for more...you are my sixth
sense enveloping my aura...deeply and completely
I hate you and I love you for how you make me feel
A beautiful nightmare...perhaps should have been
left a dream...for they fade without memory
upon the rising sun..you wreck havoc in my spirit before
my day's begun..I want you and I need you...
mind, body, core...and yet I despise the knife you left
at my hearts door...droplets of my hope spilled about your steps...
my trust in you complete...no hesitancy left...
where that crystal ball was, or witches brew...
to warn me of the things...I wish I knew...now suffering in defeat
My soul left bare...yet eyes tightly shut...with clenched fist
...I still feel you there

memories....

Wistful remembrance
of things that once were
Soul trembles…
cloaked in sorrow’s fur
The greatness
of what could have been
Perhaps will never be…
forever cemented
My heart is where
I shall find thee
Laughter to hide behind,
leaving the pieces unseen
Smiles…to catch the tears
of a wistful dream…

Love Lost

Whispering souls upon the wind
Unfound loves withering
Discontent...yet they stay...
For the love they lost...
lingers...on...every...day
No more tears...no more fight...
The wrong pursued...deemed as right
Settled in now assured...
Love's door to open...nevermore
The risk of which...was to great
Mind...body...soul..bowed under the weight
Though you said you never would
The first real challenge...un-withstood
Heart...forlorn...don't you see?
You have indeed...abandoned me.
'Ariesemblem'

Love's hold

If I looked into your soul,
would I see myself there?
Hand in your hand...
rocking in two rocking chairs...
What the present ripped away...
is the future willing to spare?
Reaching out to touch you
as I beg the memories to fade
cursed be to me when
you stumbled in my heart that day
We cannot change the past
and as the future glides that way...
how selfish would I be..
if I asked for you to stay...hurting
From the moments in that day you walked away...
the causalties added up in such a disarray...
life wields a two-edged sword
To be certain we'll obey...
but, what it'll never pierce...
what will always be...
future...present...past...the love I hold for thee... 'Ariesemblem'

Untitled

Eyes tightly shut
I feel the essence
of what you bring
I feel the laughter
I feel your touch
I feel as though
I cannot get enough
I feel the exasperation
I feel the....Trust
I feel as though
I cannot get enough
I feel your truth
I feel your care
I know you cannot
always be near
thoughts of you
bring a smile
the strength of you
drives my greed
and I cannot get enough
insatiable you leave me
thus I feel you're the only one
that can fill my need
with you it seems
I cannot get enough

'FREE'

Secure......you thought...your hold on me
eyes off the prize and now I'm free
my soul is purged...my system empty of thee
Arms spread wide with anticipation of what will be
so intense...my love so strong...blinded
to the point...you could do no wrong...
Now I clearly see the past...
should have known it wouldn't last...
warning signs blowing in the wind
like 'flags'...this is no amusement park...
this is life...your battles I stood ready to fight...
I put down the armor...I've let you go...
For who you are...is the one I didn't know...
If I could have seen the future;
would there now be a past? Life is but,
an hour glass...and though looking I could not see...
for the embodiment of you enveloped me
I could not breathe...you were...
my beautiful nightmare...and now
I have risen from my dream...so with
every breath...I breathe new air...
and with a slight smile, fleeting wonderment
if your aware...the two of us would have
made and extraordinary pair! Thus not meant to be..
I will not languish over thee
for there is someone...out there
much more worthy of me...and thus I say goodbye
refusing to 'sleep-walk' for thee.

'The Brink'

Tears waiting at the edge...
Filling up my window wells...
Seeing thru blurred sight...
Counting all the wrongs... to right
Is this kharma reaching me...
My writhing soul in front of thee...
Do you laugh behind that smirk?
I shake my head from all the hurt
Placing what I could in you... I tried
My best to see it through...Are you clear
with what you've done? Do I lack the courage
to enlighten everyone? It is not you that holds me back
It is the wickedness that I lack...for to
Destroy you is not my goal...If you
release me..have faith...your happiness
will unfold...I cannot bear the sight of you
my mind goes back to what you put me through
I could not shake the past...therefore our ruture
could not last. holding on to what's not there
would be a tragic weight to bear...so as I hold
back my tears and turn from you at last...I leave
the hurt...the throbbing pain...the memories in the past.

Quickie (LOL)

If your willing ...and I'm able
Can I take you...on this table?
Salt n pepper to the floor...damn! Shhhh is..is
that the door?...lot's of noise
and giggling...wait...not there I'll get it in
If you please me..don't you stiop..well (pause)
not unless you've hit the 'spot'
Can you have me? Daddy pleaseeee...my legs
are spread...to your Knees! Head thrown back
Yes..I feel it..keep it still just right there
...making sure your tongues aware..
fingers clenched at the edge...
ass is huring..where's that bed?! LOL
Wait a minute don't you move...
damnit daddy i'm in ah groove...
aaaaahhhhh SH**! you did it again! I'll see you soon...what?

A gentle whisper in your ear
'you number one' let's get that clear...
but, don't call me...
I'll call u -boo
now there's the door...
Cause..I've got work
to do!

'Ariesemblem'

Collaboration

Why is it that you reach me so?
Have our past lives touched years ago?
my body craves to be with yours...
my mind the same for it adores....
the challenge of your creativity..makes
me reach for what's in me..
the depth of which unsurpassed...I marvel at
what I sense in thee and if you'll let me see...
will you trust enough to bring
me... to your brink...and let our minds collapse
the force of what we could bring....unseen preseent ..
unseen past...an ingenuity they've never know
and hope their frail minds will not be blown
as they're led to higher thoughts expressed daring
them to comprehend as we broaden their meager intellects....

RAIN

My soul lay open for the rain
To wash away this heartfelt pain
Coursing through my soul and vein.
Thunder cries I feel its ROAR!
Wanting for the pain no more.
Lightening CRASHES!...flashing lights...
The wind to blow away my strife.
Will I sway as I stand still..
will this Storm breech my will...
eyes closed tears mixed with rain...
a smile for if we meet again...
another future......another past,
maybe then we're meant to last......
and as this STORM subsides and the flowers grow...
my soul will heal and my heart will hurt no more..

In Captivity....

My body moving of it's own accord
away from reason...just wanting yours
not caring who..what..where..why..or when
purely the anticipation of you entering in
you filled my soul..with no scope left..
how do I take the chance on someone else?
Is it fair to leave me in this way?
my trust in you, complete...from that very day
No raison d'etre just spirit free..closed my eyes
to be enveloped by thee..does this come for a lifetime?
or merely a day? brought by one? or is there another
who can breach me in this way?
I ask myself questions...there are no answers to...
fierce and independent..desiring to be ruled by you.
Do you know? are you aware?
when I close my eyes I feel you there..
my body shudders..my mind in disbelief...the intensity of which
I can find no reprieve. How shall I escape how shall I get through..
my mind...my body...held captive...by you.

Letting go......

Like a whirlwind you came...disrupted my 'sane'
A lot to lose...I lost...but, so much more to gain
The possibilities were endless...you and I
Two souls combined
Damn...we could've touched the sky!
My mind and yours...crashing through doors
Never thought still now...you'd be seeping through my pores
I shake my head...clear my thoughts...still find no peace
Just dreaming of 'togetherness' and the intense 'release'
Why?..why?..why?...wings spread wide as I struggle to fly
They were clipped the day you made me cry...as I tumble
slowly down...feeling the hurt...pieces of me scatter to earth
Did you not feel? How could you not see...here I pause...
Are you even worthy of me? As I break my fall...the tears still
flow...my feet touches ground...as I let you go...the light
inside...though dim...never blew...I cannot convince you of something you knew...and so I proceed...more cautious now
feet planted firmly on the ground...knowing already that I'll
be okay...for the strength of my 'light' is enough...to guide my way.

Are you ready?

Hey....psst! you gonna ride with me on this ride they call LIFE?!
They say it goes UP..it goes DOWN!....there's twists and turns
they say it's worse than a merry-go-round...you might get dizzy
you may even throw up! But, I'll be damned if i'm sittinng back with HALF a
cup....or even half a PIE...you better believe I'm gonna ride this ride!
Do you think you can hang with me? You can't wait...no sir....don't you see?
Your either in LINE or your with ME! Cause I've got that FAST PASS!
I'm not standing with my head up.....watching others scream...as they
pursue and reach their DREAMS! Come on now....your moving SLOW!
drop your bags and let's GO! It'll still be locked up when we come back....
yeah...when we're old...sitting in our rockers...reminiscing about the day we decided to take
that ride and never look BACK! Our life was THEIR entertainment! Yes sirrrr
that's a FACT! Now we rest...cause we did our thing! and oohhhh the sweet memories it BRINGS!....eyes closed...hand in hand....I would've take that RIDE with no other man.

Haiti's Lost

Broken faces..broken dreams..broken hopes of a world barely seen
whispers of distant laughter...lost upon the wind
Eyes staring wide that will never 'see' again
dirt painted faces some twisted in pain
their breath taken from them...never to breathe again
remember the yelling..remember the cries
remember the joy that once filled their lives
for youth is our innocence...we're only there for a time
ours not taken from us...we look to the past
a smile brought briefly of moments passed
This smile will never be seen on their face
never to move beyond that moment in space
Life ripped away...beyond awful it seems..laid to unrest
broken spirits...lost shadows...shattered dreams
As the tears come forth...of images seen..
eyes squeezed tightly..gasping..why lord?...berating
what does this mean? Your children...why did you give them
just to take them away...their life not lived but barely a day?
I scream at you...fist in the wind...don't you ever my GOD let this happen again!

'In your dreamz'

Chocolate sunset..black as night..
lick me..when the mood is right...
African Goddess...beauty queen...
Sleep awhile..I'll be your dream...
Cheek bones high...lips are full...
Let me know if you really would...
touch me there....be aware...
my scent will have drawn you here...
Skin so soft...smooth as shea...
Your hands felt gliding...every...way...
Statuesque...nothing less...
can you handle nature's best?
If you dare...come prepared...
Succulent feasting... to be ...your fare...
Your arms stretched forth...with which to touch...
Knowing still...I may...be to much...
Darkness waning...earth is still...
Can you bring me forth at will?
eyes still closed...rest awhile...
Once fluttered open...off I'll glide...
Until the night...with your slumber...
You bring me forth...with dreams of wonder...
Touching souls in sensual bliss ...as you wake...
Your lips I kiss...

'self' freedom

- exclusion of self

Tears streaming forth...
where is the sun....
brow beaten down....
forgetting how it begun...
lost my way..in your 'self'
it's time to be free...
needing to step away...
so I can be me...
To much time to much effort...
my soul almost crushed...
now shivering..at the mere..
thought of your touch...
how did it come to this...
two strangers as one...
going down a path...
that should never have begun...
Love at first sight?
what does that even mean...
Barred from my own path...
losing half my dreams.
