song Of The Anguished

Song of The Anguished

I was dreaming under water

With delusion all around

While the bones of dying blackbirds

Cried their last and hit the ground.

I was thinking of my true love

Whom I've yet to meet and touch

I was running toward a yearning

That my heart still loves so much.

On the hill there stood a gallows

With a noose tied just below

So the hanged man died there quickly

Before he had the time to know.

If the pain of death was hurtful

Or if he died from just his fear

It was quick and it was awful

And it left it's terror here.

Running from my waking nightmare

Running to my future fate

I was thirsty, I was hungry

But my life's an empty plate.

Tantalizing with her fragrance

Seduction was her favorite game

As she wound herself around me

Said I'd never be the same.

And that's true, I was a new man

And it's true, I was reborn

In her passion and her beauty

That soon shredded me with scorn.

The things I've done, I cannot tell you

The things I did, I hate to think

As I followed her to quicksand

As she stood and watched me sink.

Love is like a burning ember

Love is like a dying coal

Fires of joy and Eden's promise

Before the flames burn up your soul.

I have walked the ancient desert

I have climbed the mountain tall

I was young and strong and worthy

Before the stumble and the fall.

There, a hero to my mother

Then, a friend to my best friend

And a brother to my brother

Till the dark and bitter end.

Oh, sweet heaven, rain upon me!

Oh, sad sun, shine on my face!

Hangman of Hell, open this lock now!

Let me leave this cursed place!

I will run the roads forever

Show the blind man how to see

Teach the deaf and dumb and foolish

Not to ever follow me.

If you wake me from this nightmare

If you calm my screaming eyes

If you hush the dying ravens

So I cannot hear their cries.

I will seek out newer pathways

Leave the old ones far behind

If you re-turn my life to me

If you'll give me back my mind.

Yes, I'll sign your bloody papers

Yes, I'll stop my sad refrain

Yes, I'll do what you ask of me

No, no more will I complain.

Ah, much better, so much better

Peaceful now, it is so quiet

I can barely see the gallows

All I see is tinted light.

Breathing now, I take a deep one

But I cannot then exhale

I breathe in such warmth and sweetness

But cold is all I can expel.

Dreaming deep beneath the water

And the nightmare of this place

I make my last deal with the Hangman

For one more glimpse of her face.

Nothing Else Matters

 

Shadow Seer

shadow seer

from darkness thick as thieves they come

but only to the edge

of peripheral sight hidden in night

they cling upon the ledge

of mind and madness, watching there

each movement and each step

they know where all the treasures are

and where your dreams are kept

insinuating into human hearts

they journal every thought

and teach their cohorts how to win

the battles so hard fought

the shadows come, the shadows go

and men go their way, blind

unaware that they are there

like quickenings in the mind

oft times they hide in midday's shadows

oft times they hide in stars

their whispers carried to ears of strangers

who don't know who they are

the shadow people, the shadow kings

the rulers of the night

unseen by few, the gifted, who

can see through dark like light

our eyes meet sometimes now and then

the shadowkind and me

we stare each other down in silence

till we cannot stand to see

but both aware that we are there

on opposite sides of light

me, in my sunlit world of man

and they, in their endless night.

I Dreamed Of Oranges

I Dreamed Of Oranges

I dreamed of oranges

In a white china bowl

On a brown teak wood table

In a small yellow kitchen.

I could smell the fragrance

Hanging in the sun beamed air

So sweet and tangy

I could almost taste them.

Checked blue curtains billowed

In the gentle morning breeze

The window was open

And somewhere a child sang softly.

I stood in the doorway, puzzled

Something felt so right

Something seemed so wrong

But I didn't know what it was.

My eyes caught the sight

Of a tiny baby shirt

Hanging on a clothesline

Swaying, swaying back and forth.

A dog chased a big black cat

Through tulip beds of red and purple

And in a moment of bravery

The cat turned and stood still as stone.

There were no cars, no radios

The world was strangely silent

Except for the wind blown lullaby

Of the faraway child.

The floor was cool on my bare feet

But it felt so good and comforting

I walked into the sun beam

And took a fruit in my trembling hand.

I peeled diligently in one long peel

Until I got to the last piece

And then it broke off and hit the floor

So loudly that it woke me up.

So sweet, so juicy, so tantalizing

I raised my dusty hand to my mouth

Lying there in the baked red desert

Dying of thirst and dying of longing.

I dreamed of oranges

In a white china bowl.

 Ghost Song by Max Ablitzer

 

Dancing To A Slow Dance

Incredible song that they are dancing to.....

In Line by Robert Skoros

❤

Dancing To a Slow Death

Darkness falls

And with it........

The hunger

The longing for a soft caress,

A tender touch, a hard embrace,

Building to a violent need

And release of what’s inside.

You watch me

From the shadows.........

Breathing

Still as wind that does not blow

And rain that does not fall

Waiting like a cat with prey

Playing with it’s dinner.

And I, with my defenses down

On full alert.......

Dance in the mirror

In candle’s glow

And summer’s rising heat

Pretending I am quite alone

But knowing you are there.

In silks, I twirl

My body......

Like a breeze

Move my hands in beckoning

And my feet in silent pleas

The music swells and I can feel

Your dark eyes touch my skin.

Beyond the room

In midnight’s garden.....

Behind the trees and shining moon

Your black hair laying 

Upon your shoulders,

Your black eyes glowing,

And tasting me.

I turn at your whisper

And there you are.....

In the doorway like a dream that comes

Before the break of dawn

Clad in black from head to toe

With white touches at your throat

And the sight of you makes me weak.

“Don’t fall yet.” you say

And catch me..........

In arms of steel

“The night is young and so are you,

And the sun is fast asleep.”

And you hold me till I catch my breath

Then you take it away again.

Wetting my mouth with wine

I drink............

Knowing that wine can’t satisfy

The thirst I have, have always had

Since I laid my eyes on you,

Since I put my hands on you,

Since I gave myself to you.

The music commands

And we obey.........

My arms round your shoulders

Your arms round my waist

The room awash in shades of gold,

Like the flickering fire

That’s building between us.

I know you will leave me

Before the sun rises........

As you always have

And you always will

But for now in your eyes

Is all I’ll ever need, is all I’ll ever want

And the sunlight be damned.

Midnight passes

And we stand still as stone.......

Drown in the yearning, die in desire

Lifting my face, I wait for your kiss

Burning with hunger that can never be quenched

The shadows of night put their soft arms around us

And to the music of passion, we slow dance again.
