" She has Awakened" 1996

"She Has Awakened"

She stands in compliance

as though bound by shackles,

in her own bed of torment

Tormented
by her passion,

she conforms so to live

With the pretentious mask

which deludes the marrow of her being

Yet,

in the light of her pageantry

A darkness whispers.....

She heeds the thunder

her vehement fire lurks

Though
still contained in her world of ice

She cries ,

warm tears

She struggles to unleash ,

be free

her desires

her fervors

she craves

sensuality ticks,

it breathes

How steadfast her mind and body screams ...euphoria

When lavished and caressed in a bath of passion

Seduction,

temptation,

her fears

These shadows
echo
to her inner being
they call her
friend

embraced
by a new ripened revelation of freedom

Tantalized
by the quench of her minds own poison

the perfume of her own destiny

This darkness
which whispers softly to her soul

Is the essence
of her hunger
in which she craves

As though kissed
with a profound truth

She has awakened..........

An Old Poem " Sea Of Dread" 1994

I've lost hundreds of poems--recently I found a few straglers from 1994 & 1996. I'm struck by my own inner darkness which seems to errupt in each poem..

"Sea Of Dread"

Clothed in ones own shadow
Like Black clouds at noon

She plays hide & seek with the devil

Like the sun eclipsing the moon


Curtains of dried blood cloak her eyes

Like warm breath upon colds mirror

Her flesh dissolves the lineage of bone

Anonymous walls become clearer


The copper pond reflects the broken wing

Like candles on a cake for the deceased

The three legged chair enables her void

She bought war yet sought eternal peace


Clothed in ones own shadow

Like Black clouds at noon

She plays hide & seek with the devil

Like the sun eclipsing the moon

Swallowing a star beneath the knot of hope

Just like the hooked fish

Her shadow dances on the walls

The pendulum makes a wish


Nobody's child bathed in the fountain of coins

As though placing ones own mortality on red

Seduced by the prophets promise of eternal rest

She sleeps ...
like the sharks in her sea of dread

" Take me into the Dragon City" 1994

Another old poem.....1994

"Take Me Into The Dragon City"

My well is full and overflowing
The Bulls horns seem to keep on growing
And I walk within the City of Steeples
Amongst the clones of Silicone people

Ring nosed brats and tattooed Johns
Pin Striped crooks and gold watch Dons
Lap top junkies and cellular heads
No dose C.E.O's on legalized meds
C.P.A sluts to the I.R.S
And Dole thinks he can clean up this mess?
"Greetings" said the bomb from the U.S.A
Any other Camal Jockeys want to play?

He never inhaled, so he said
Rumor has it that he sucks in bed

And the venetian blinds fall
Can't you hear the dragons call?
"Open the gates to the Dragon City"
My burdens are heavy, have some pity
Take me into the dragon city
Where neon lights shine so pretty
Take me there , take me there, please take me
Can't you see, I need to be, set free
Take me there, please take me to where
" The corona sky kisses the moon"
"And the cow jumps over the silver spoon"
Where the kamakaze winds embrace
Where the white faced tempest leaves a trace
Where purple mountains majestry
Dance all night, they dance with me
Where angels walk leaving footprints in the sand
Where rainbow's talk to those who understand
And the venetian blinds fall
Can't you hear the dragons call?

They come in herds,
Cyber slaving nerds
High heeled lords, and Wallstreet whores
Some own stores, some sleep on floors
They each face their daily wars
All in search to heal their scars
Some push carts, some push dope
Both wish to buy the dust of hope
Some own boxes , some own homes
Within the Dragon City tonight they roam
Open The gates to the Dragon City
My burdens are heavy, have some pity
Take me into the Dragon City
Where the neon lights shine so pretty
Take me there , take me there, please take me
Can't you see, I need to be, set free
My well is full and overflowing
The Bulls horns seem to keep on growing
And I walk within the City of Steeples
Amongst the clones of Silicone people
Ring nosed brats and tattooed Johns
Pin Striped crooks and gold watch Dons

Take me into the Dragon City
Where the neon lights shine so pretty
Take me there, take me there, please take me
Can't you see, I need to be, set free, please take me
