If love does not live so that love may live,
Wrecked on rugged rock like a pirate ship;
Tiresias speaks to hearts—no love to give,
Darkness and void with no inspired lips;
If love is quashed short of its golden prime,
Like dinosaurs smashed by a meteorite;
Crushed from its age of blossoming on time,
Like breath strangled from life not to unite!
Then O’ love, send me Pegasus to ride,
Spread your wings—lift us to Zeus in the sky;
Touching constellations with them abide,
Creating cherished crescendos for weepy eye:
Lightning life beaming love from golden clouds
Descending passion upon earth erasing shrouds!

america, black love, courage, freedom, hope,
Black folks got rhythm
full movements
undeterred, and
flexible as four winds.
How low can we go?
with limbo
it's in our hands
with early rising;
planting seeds of joy,
washed in ray of hope -
we dance on sturdy grounds
with gems to unearth.
The whole world watch and wait
what instruments of weight and
measure will bring us together?
Once upon a time we reeled,
like dervishes; only we were ship wrecked!
the wave of One Hand,
we now stand like those chosen,
at the parting of the sea.

care, care,
Why do I still love this girl,
whom broke my heart.
She wrecked me,
in so many ways.
Why do I still care for this girl,
and want to
make sure that,
everything is ok.
Why do I long for her,
when she doesn't see me.
Why do I long for her,
when I am down?
Why do I still pray for her,
to make sure shes ok.
When I'm dying each day,
remembering all those things she did to me.
Why do I want to help,
when she never helped me.
Why do I want to say what I want,
when she doesn't speak to me anymore.
Why do I still love,
when she has no love.
Why do I care for her,
when she doesn't care at all.

allegory,
(double sijo)
virtuous woman seasoned of life’s wisdom without schism
sex kitten smitten, honey dos omitted, all lies acquitted
having searched wrecked world over… found fickle love… where’s my dove?
~
like a wreck upon sands of salty seas, `Tis God hears my pleas
"Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate."
as hollowed hull awaits true love’s fate… a virtuous mate

my boyfriend,s cheating
my heart stop beating
my brother,s car wrecked
and he's no longer breathing
my dad's on drugs and he beats my mom
because the flashbacks he had, in veitnaum
i love a women, but she don't love me
it leaves me pondering with, curisoity
every day we fight for love
the situation were facing, will never give up
our dreams one day will become so true
and you will realize how much, "i love you"
so for now, ill keep reaching for your touch
cause at the end of the day, were still "fighting for love"

lost love
A momentary glimpse
And silent touch of hands
The peace that was wrecked
With the roar of machine
The water that was laid
Upon the heap of sands
For it was the final voyage
Of the love
That had just begun
A melodious music
Silently tearing away the winds
And tearing away the heart
Oh!! The ringing of the bell
Brought away a tides of pain
Its was a journey that saw
The road kill of the last love’s train

naturesweet, sweet,
The cocoon unwinds
The chrysalis suckles light
Fly sweet butterfly
Rivers flow forward
Time moves to its beginning
To be forgotten
What I remember
The sea swallowed from my eyes
Love's a lonely place
Hold my hands again
I love the rain in your hair
Memory is vain.
Words are webs of war
Winter is desolation
Making way for spring
Green turns gold in light
Rainbows are waves wrecked by dust
Stars are ancient nights.
Fly sweet butterfly
The pupa blooms to become
Flowers of the sky

Fragments
Bewilderment to diminish from family
Is a Baroque distraught of your dexterity
The anguish of the fruits caused by your frailty
Divulge amnesia temperamental apathy
Perspicuous diminutive individuality
Nocturnal love divisible by three
Your affiance and desire to sexuality
Are earnest vows artificial fiery
Emptiness in my heart forever a memory
You axed my soul and wrecked deliberately
I shriveled I withered i dried up immensely
Fragments of forever will hurt til eternity

My boyfiend painted the windows because we live so close to the street,
I think I fell in love with him over those windows, kind of neat
What he did is so beatiful heavy frost not clear,
There are roses up the fences on the windows I love them so dear,
My boss almost wrecked, looking at them all wretched around in her seat,
I now have stained glass windows but their a cheat.
We now have stained glass windows with a wrought iron fence,
Theres even thorns on the roses with that, much time he spent.

devotion, funny, , cute,
For all those sunny years we’ve spent together
For all the clouds that drifted in between
For all the paradise we might have seen
For ships of hope that wrecked in stormy weather
For all the love we made on scented heather
For all the words and fights that haven’t been
For all the daily deadening routine
For heavy times we lifted like a feather
You’re nice and wise and good and cute and clever
The very best that happened in my life
No way I’m going to leave you lonely, never
Your way to fortune is my only drive
So here’s this poem for you, to last forever
Now let me think of something for my wife

My body
you wrecked it.
My honor
you disrespected.
When I told you I loved you
I meant it.
Yet..
You. Didnt. Give. A. F**k.
I guess you could say I was down on my luck.
or
Was I suppose to swollow the pain?
and stay stuck in the same position again?
No. F**K THAT.
I dont want you back.
I Hope you enjoyed your times inside me.
Because now all the memories of us I push behind me.
And in time you will see
the best place you could ever be was beside me.

lovelove, me,
Am I the person to dream?
Blindfolded in your love,
Desire and I give the slip,
Emotion so wrecked,
Hold me within your firm glee,
And charm the caress;
Could I be blind in your love?
Not to see moon lights,
You look at others to smile,
Play havoc a while,
Darken my delights by day,
To relish your nights;
A love wink for you to blush,
Reflects love for me,
Caressed closer by the wind,
You plunge with desire,
Touch me to feast hot quivers,
Charmed and delivered!!!

loss, love, marriage, missing you, sad, sea, soulmate,
How limited the page by set of sail…
I cannot come to you except, I tack,
I sail into the wind, the ropes all wail…
You’ve crossed the sea, now, and cannot come back.
Thus, Time blows in my face, bids me return,
And, there behind, a Fisherman hooks me…
The Sun, too bright, is sure my face to burn,
And all my grief is not enough to free
Me from the Veils that roundabout me swirl,
That hide you from my searching, test my mind,
To THINK! I’m rapt, and wrecked, over a girl…
The One I Married, who left me behind
To fly into the Sun with wings of wax,
And Orioles greet… I greet the ocean’s wracks…

Jealousy,oh,jealousy do not consume me
I am much consumed by love itself
I have nothing more to offer thee
All I have is a feeble heart,wrecked by deception and despair
Go find a better claim,I am not pleasing enough to be thy victim
Or better make my heart whole again
so that when thou claim me
thou may enjoy thy pleasures and I my pain
What shall thou gain by prevailing over a heart that is already prevailed
None won the battle already lost
None conquered the one already conquered
None enjoyed the prize that never was truly earned
Jealousy, oh jealousy,make my heart whole again
and relish thy prize.

lonely, lost love,
Love crumbled, fading away from my hand
To disappear with the painful breath of time
The silence which loneliness did command
Filled a pit with dung which I had to climb
Emotional expanse welled up inside
To share its rush of memories once real
With a need to scream and nowhere to hide
From a pain filled wrecked continuous wheel
It spun and spun from its hurtful release
As it moved forgiveness to persuasion
To seek hopeful prayers the pain would cease
From cobweb tangles of abrasion
To disturb one who has no one to blame
To ask the lonely their measure of pain

allegory, dark, fear, imagery, love, metaphor, symbolism,
crushed, wrecked, and shook
like a ceramic doll I fall
headlong and deep, deep
into the violent stream
of fear--fear that flows, flows
like a hurried river
into the tributaries of my
fearful heart which
trembles and quakes at the
watery inundations of its
rippled waves; flooded
and overflowed with
fears and unmoved by
promises that deceive
with a caress I take refuge
and secret repose
in a thing more wild, in a
thing more bloodthirsty,--
a feral creature called "love,"
whose kiss is a fatal bite!

I have sailed the sea of Deception, it is a known disease
Its purpose is your soul to seize.
Navigated all of this with cunning expertise
I obliterated those obstacles with ease.
I have sailed the sea of friendship
I do not trust it as such,
Experience has taught me much
That with time, that too becomes a wrecked ship.
I sail the sea of love
Docked safely in you harbour
The anchor is your heart
You fit me like a glove
I thank the Lord above
You are my true and only love.

life,
Compassion is the key
To love and understand
Always do for others
All that you can
Helping someone brings contentment
Into each of our lives
With this small act of kindness
It's karma that it buys
You must believe in your heart
This very simple Claus
Or your life will be crushed
By universal laws
Expand your thoughts
On cause and affect
Don't let it be yours
Who's life will be wrecked
Not made by man
But the supreme
Just open your eyes
You'll see what I mean
Everything comes full circle
To each and his own
And it's all up to you
How to the world you'll be known

education,
You reap what you sow
But if it was sabotaged,
Will it really, ever grow?
I fail to understand how
The seedling I did plant now
Was decayed when it erupt
As if it had been fed cyanide, stead water.
I must face what has grown
And accept what has shown
It was planted with love
And it did not grow a trove
But a murky brown of the soil where it lay.
How, in fact, must I make way
For such a fact, I should dismay
That I sang to it all-day
And still, it did not display.
Now it is time to collect
All of which I have wrecked
Just like the time in effect
I have managed to affect
the plant which I did sow.

lost love
Feelings stir in the depth of the night
As imagination takes to flight
I wake from a dream or was it real
The tears I cry the truth reveal
Who but you could disturb my slumber
Sleep is wrecked, peace now plundered
Haunting my nights I must confess
Missing your kiss, your touch, your caress
Who ever said that love is blind
I close my eyes and still I find
The image I see so fair and true
My soulmate now gone... forever blue

beach, betrayal, bird, black love, boat, body, break up,
I want to enter you like a poem in flames,
And bleed inside like a beheaded rebel.
I want to join a revolution of forgotten kisses,
Slowly awakening underneath your frozen sea,
Remembering tsunamis you once unleashed
Swallowing every ship of my fleet
In your toothless mouth,
When I floated, lifelessly,
Like a wrecked paper boat;
While your dog slept, on the floor,
In blissful canine dreams,
On entangled poetry of our clothes.

When the world was shades of black, grey and white; you were always surrounded by color.
While silver smoke swiftly danced with swirling winds; you laced your fingers with mine and I held my breath.
I heard people talking and judging; you pulled me closer and suddenly they were heads floating aimlessly.
Everything was hard and cold; but your body heat burned my skin and set me on fire.
You leaned in. The fire burned brighter. You whispered in my ear “I’ll never let go”
You let go.
Suddenly my world became dark again. The smoke grew thicker and thicker until I choked. The voices grew louder. I felt colder every second. I exhale and when the fire is no more; my soul finally rests.

political, social, america, me,
Have I failed you, America the ****ed?
Is your rage the reason you cast me down
In the dirt with deviants, damned, dislucked,
With love in vain and bloody debt to drown?
Do you wish for me to hack all your trees,
Wicked pyres for my heathen brother,
Or asphyxiate your atmosphere-Swiss cheese
With the stench of man’s great rape of his Mother?
Of course not, how could you, that sees none, hears
Every wisp of secret, reported as news,
Playfully tossing your thrice dyed blonde-cheers!
Sorry we were distracted and wrecked on booze.
Where had the last ship of sanity sailed
Before I was ****ed and America failed?

And I try...
and I cry.
What if I said it would be good?
Do you think maybe you could
try?
I know you are not within the realm
of
my life.
I try to be understood.
Always at the helm.
You were my love,
you always stood
by my side,
but you kicked me down
at the stern
stern glances
passing chances.
but still at the bow
I bow unto you
my captain!
starboard!
I board that star!
and sail away..................
and now...
