love (Remove filter)
I know
Fading memories
my soul concealing
hurt from my
aching heart
I am soaring
with majestic
angels on a bright red
persian dream
In a dream
where you never leave
In a dream
where you are still holding me
Tranquil sounds...
with every key
it moves me
further away from you
Paralyzed with fear
of forgetting your beautiful face
I know I...

Stitched Up!
Like a spare button
Affixed on
To nothing
She was
Living in dread
Of finding
No thread
Through the
Eye of a
Needle
His excuses
Were feeble
No need
To be
Sewn
To a garment
Outgrown

As The Power Lines Crackle Overhead...
Too long, too long
I’ve been too proud
to belong
to let myself lay open
and love
to open myself to love
and follow the flow
But the power lines crackle overhead
as we walk beneath
I reach my fingers for yours
feel the sparks fly
the way they always have
Too long, too long
I’ve been too scared
to belong to one
too envious
too greedy
to let myself just love
chase the current

AND ONE DAY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
And one day,
the sun stopped,
the rain stopped falling,
the flowers didn't look high,
the sky emptied of stars,
then a tear dripped
from the heart and became our breath.
We need a sacred tear,
before the fall...

Fingerprints
To know my fingerprints
on another’s heart
could stir them into art
a priceless gift, a magic
To know there is a poem
written about me
those words, more beautiful
than I could ever hope to be
From the caverns of passed time
there comes a sound
a constant, quiet, ring
when I choose to listen
always there
telling of another way of living
That the heart of an artist
a complexly c...

Silent Light
Hello silence, my old friend.
It's good to embrace you
once again.
No flashing phones.
No clashing tones.
No distracting memes.
No broken dreams.
Just breathing in gratitude,
marinating the moment,
exhaling ego,
connecting to the prophet within.
Listening, learning, loving,
awakened
by the naked light you bring.

Interpretive Dance
Shoo,
go away.
I only want young, thin, pretty girls
to look my way.
I don't care if they have anything
intelligent to say.
I just want them to ooh and awe
at my game.
Of course I have no shame,
my past is to blame.
Yes, this dance could drive
the thinker insane.
So, leave with your dignity,
while I toss back another one,
and twirl my ring.

My Prescription
Too seriously; I tend in my journey
too easy to focus on the duty
the facts of what’s in hand
the doing of a thing
So precious to see the nonsense
appreciate the humour
the madness
in everything you’re tasked with
by this modern world
So freeing to have a sense of silliness
draw a cock and balls on your mortgage application
scribble a cape and tights across the undertaker’s pamphlet

prismatic beings
legs crossed i lay, deep in prayer
as i enter her domicile pyramid prism with a rainbow flash
headspace filled with subsequent intrinsic peace and peachy afterglow, washing out wrath
sifting through the banks of her mind, i produce schisms, and visually metaphysical visions
visualization techniques split at the ream leaving a colorful flurry
scurrying across triangular entropy into ...

Can We Pretend
Can we pretend
social media highlights
are every day life.
Can we pretend
children aren't starving,
neglected or abused.
Can we pretend
Mother Earth will
pardon our plundering.
Can we pretend
animals don’t suffer
for our gluttonous pleasure.
Can we pretend
greed doesn't
fuel disease.
Can we pretend
God is real and

Battlefield
I have loved you for years
but our love has been a rollercoaster ride
a battlefield of our souls fighting
our hearts breaking over and over
We both prefer our solace
it hurts less
than for us to be together and
fighting over a love that will remain
... a battlefield

Twisting the Hermenuetic Turn
She said, “Jesus wept”
Was her favourite Bible verse,
Because it showed Jesus
Was human and shared
Our human feelings.
I suspected it was her
Favourite because it was
The easiest to remember,
But I guess it isn’t so bad.
It’s better than the ones
That command genocide,
Stoning children, or taking
Virgin girls as spoils of war.
But it isn’t as good as the ones
That say to turn a...

Bad Brexit Romance
Assumptions can consume
Before the truth is known
Reacting far too soon
Or are we already outgrown?
Queuing up the arguments
Let's give this one a try
It can't just stay like this
That's why it's do
Or die

The bond
Two little boys with curly hair,
one of them brown the other blonde,
they taunt and kick,
they soothe and hug
each other just to tie a bond.
Two little boys of fearless beauty,
of restless bliss and trusting charme,
they laugh and play,
they thrive and dwell
still in their world without real harm.
Two little boys I'd give my life for
too soon will loose t...

A better taste
Let me taste a bit of love now,
or no, better let me not,
'cause I know I couldn't help
to ask and beg you for a lot.
Let me taste spoonfuls of beauty,
or no, stop me if you can,
'cause I'm afraid to loose my cool
for you're the gracious type of man.
Let me taste ways of your soul then,
or no, never let me do,
'cause I dread the disappointment
of no dark ...
