The Poetry Marathon

I lost myself
Within your eyes
Neath silent moon
Frozen star skies
The soul striped
Piece by piece
To find the woman
Hid underneath
Changing colour
Locked in place
Holds me deep
My mind erased
Force the lip
Open speak
Tongue and word
That don’t quite meet
Unconscious brings
Conscious bold
The mind will find
What heaven told
Breath’s last gasp
Is your name
Delicate thread on windowpane
Filter dream
Filter night
Darkness bound
Forbid it’s fight
Skin that burns
Like morning star
Blazen truth
And left unmarred

Fall into my tragic kiss
Let me taste your pain
Let me drink it all away
I’ll help you live again
You know the way I need to die
But could you let me go
Suspended between life and breath
Laughing in Death’s shadow
The volume of your thirst
Speaks more than any words
Together we bond in strength
Align my soul with yours
Life is never perfect
You loose while you wait
When you’re looking back
The little things you taste
I know it cuts you open
Making deeper scars
Let me fade it all away
Let me be your salve

I can’t speak this mood
I’m in… Staring me in the face
Winds of change
Are raging
Burning to erase
No muse has spoken
The word to describe
It goes on unsung
The things my mind hides
Earth and fire mix
Form translucent glass
What cannot salvaged
Float off to the past
Give me sight to see
Prescribe the magnified
Give me knowledge pure
To bring me to new life

I am not born
I am not dead
I am not what
The mind was fed
A sparkle hid
Neath dirt world
Bruises healed
As tongue uncurled
A thicker skin
A lighter mind
Venom sucked
While truth unblinds
A taste of sweet
Coats my lips
Surrender not
To misguide quips
Hide your colour
Hide your face
Unmasked you’ll be within my taste
I swallow all
You choose to hide
Hold it deep when you confide

I walked through your forest
I even climbed your trees
Leaving me exposed
Among your fallen leaves
You promised me wing
You promised me a song
But life gets in the way
And all I do is wrong
Dawn”s grey shine
Touch China skin mute
Sleep cloud kiss
Dew flower turned lute
Isolation time
Eating at the brain
I need open space
To see and breath again
Eclipse sun
Needs to stop the greed
Let the moon shine brighter
Than you know it to be

And so they danced among the tree
Laughing on the summer breeze
Lightly kiss familiar face
Called deeper into sacred place
Hidden lost within the soul
Spring to life to open door

And so we met
Beneath the stars
Combining in one flame
Scarburst to star fall
Perfection now takes claim

The further she let go
The more fell into place
Elements combined
Creating Earth and space

All the things she wished for
All of them came true
But when she wished
For what to wish
What wad the Universe to do

I stepped away

Outside myself

Gathered in whatto observe

Took two steps too far

Fell off the edge of Earth

I hung from Her branchesbranches

Clinging like vine

I sank into Her soul

Until her blood ran mine

Frozen peace surrounds me

Muffles liquid cries

Sings a siren song

Rest in Her lullibies

Silver tipped tongue

Drips clouds like velvet words

Winds like secret whisper

Truth the spine needs heard

I need someone to hold

Hold it all at bay

Someone to drink

My tired skin

Silence what I cannot say

I need the day to

DisappearDisappear

Away from tired hands

Too many vampires

Suck my soul

And drain me where I stand

Let me lie

In star lit eyes

Cover Earth

In shallow blood

Hallowed tears

Cover still my ground

Caress it unbeloved

Flowers scream

In night tune

Clouds harbor

Clouds harbor weeping stain

Dreams lie in  thier casketcasket

Without a carried name

Wilt me into

Limp

Until I kiss the dead

Cut my tongue with rosebush

Let loose within my head

I’ve nothing more to bleed

You’ve drained me

Till I’m dead

Now I need to sleep

In eternal bed
