Creature of Darkness


How you suffer in the deepest pool of your thoughts

You are dragged down into the depths of deception why won't you

look up?

Look up toward the light! 


Swim to the surface where there is life, where there is hope


No, instead little dark creature,  you will choose the darkest depths to swim amongst what you cannot see,


To pretend there is nothing left for you to be.'


I've always imagined that you could see me through your fogged goggles you call eyes 

Your thoughts are on what you can not See but Feel,


Like your friend the slithering eel.


Is it the fatigue from countless hours of treading water of indecision that has cast its line of defeat onto you?  


hook line and sinker you have taken the bait of its deception.

Where is your fight? Swim! thrash!, push! and pull!


Instead you swim deeper, to colder waters, into its darkest depths hoping the line will snap but instead you find yourself unable to see what's in front of you.


 So fatigue comes for you once more and the blackness of nothing draws you near 

Wake up! Look Up! Swim! 

Swim toward the surface! Swim away from what has wrapped itself around you..


It seem forever that I have been out here patiently waiting in this life boat. I am growing tired thirsty and weary


yes...I am still sitting under the summer sun beating down my head with my heart feeling dried up and left for dead


  So I take a peek over, looking but catching no site of my lover 


I begin to wonder, is it time to pick up my oars against all hope to head for brighter shores....

The Knights Wind



Good Knight,

Its Late Tonight and Feels so Dark

The Air is Thick and Still Smells of the Rain we Had Earlier 
in The Day

I Lay Here with My Eyes Closed, Waiting for the Wind
 Where Are You? 
Where have You Drifted Too?

If I Stay Real Still then Maybe I Can Hear Your Whispers 
Floating By In the Nights Sky 

It's Been Quiet for Days Now, 
Not Even a Peep From the Evening Cricket

Maybe, If I Hold My Breath 
for Just a Moment I Might be Able to Hear Heavens Glory

I Feel Myself Adrift Heading Up & Into the Place of Possibility 

It's Your Voice that Draws Me Near to You
 Its the Whispers in the Night That Pull Me Upward and 
Out My Window 

I Catch a Ride on the Winds Current to Reach Your Destiny
I feel as tho I am Home

Maybe Just one more Walk Around the Lavender Trees Before 
I'm Swept Up and Taken Back 

Perhaps A Bit of Manna that I can Take with Me for 
My Weary Journey, 
One more Memory to Wake 
with 
Where Nothing but the Breathtaking Sight 
of the Lavender Trees Exist 

where I will Remember the Smell 
on These Familiar Walks 
of
Amber Honey

Is it Possible for this Fragrance to Wrap Itself 
Around me Again, 
Bringing Comfort, Peace and Total Absolution 

Maybe Just One More Glimpse Before Consciousness Takes Me Back to a Place 
Where There Is No Knight but Only Darkness

The Great Debate




I look to my right and see an old friend, the moon who has come to visit at my  window. 
It is a cruel reminder to me that others have answered its call with sleep and its invitation to some precious slumber 
for me the night crawls by. Its shine is taunting 
I hear the tick tock of the nearest clock
I hear the dogs breathing close by 
I hear the voices in my head debating the day and the events of the week.
My body yearns for sleep but my mind is still busy withs its feverish debate. 

Shhh sleep already, dawn is coming

the night air is thick and gives no room to breath, where is the breeze and its precious relief

Tick Tock, Tick Tick, Dogs Breathing, Tick Tock, Dogs Breathing, Moon Shining, Tick Tick! UGH!

Ok mind settle this continuous argument already!
 lets call it a night. Please...

Tick Tock Dogs Breathing, Tick Tock, Moon Shining, Tick Tock, Tick Tock

I put the pillow over my head

I close my eyes in surrender thinking this is it, my moment but my body decides otherwise and decides It will meet dawn face to face

I am walking through this house while others are laying in their beds dreaming. I wonder what of and suddenly I am so alone in all this darkness, until I hear a new song. 

Refrigerator Ping Ping, Wall Clock Tick Tock, House Creak Creak, My Heart Thump Thump 

it's as if the house is waking with me I suppose,
so why not welcome dawn together oh, and let me not to forget the sound and smell of another friend, 
coffee...
