The Serpent

Posted on by

I am the one who once travelled by flight and foot

And now I slither around on my round-body

My tongue has always been and still is split in half

In my first stage of life my speeches consisted of fire-bursts, ice-shards, smoke-rings,

and whirling-wild winds

Now my speeches are speedy rollings-of-the-tongues and a-spitting venom-filled saliva

Horned was I back in the days after I had hatched out of my egg

Now my mushroom-like head consists of my eyes, my nostrils, and my ears

Once I had massive teeth to help me emasculate my food

And now I must swallow all of my food whole

Many primitive cultures have used me as a symbol for both good and evil

I symbolize the Morning Star, and have been blessed with many different names

Nevertheless, I am worshipped by many cultures of mankind as a powerful being

I am the Light-Bringer and Knowledge-Bringer to mankind and am similar to Prometheus

I seduced Eve to bite the apple, in order that she may have knowledge and become like

Yahweh

I am also the almighty Quetzalcoatl, the revered sky god of the Aztecs

Without the symbolism that mankind has placed upon me, I am nothing more than a plain

reptile

People Lost In Time

Sitting beside you
could feel the dampness of earth beneath
just six feet of it between you and I
wished we never said goodbye
That I was with you till the day I die
And what’s real was an unreal lie
A lie a lie a lie

The wind playing with my hair
and though you’re not here
I can feel you rush through my veins
With every drop of blood in there
And then the random gush of wind
that makes the shrubs, the tiny ones
bend and twist and spin
just like the turmoil in my head
Making me feel living dead
dead and dead and dead….

And the one that fell
was more of an angel
More kind and gracious than I could ever tell
the heavenly soul that left….

The deed that made THE MAKER weep
and tears floating in air
don’t dare touch his coffin, his grave
and there I lay and crave
cursing time and THE LORD
that took away my soul, my flesh and everything
leaving my body to decay from within……

What Is This Feeling

Posted on by

What is this feeling that seeps from my chest
Below my breast and under my flesh
What is this feeling that runs in my veins
with a tickle of strange that has no name
this feeling that can cause great pain with
no sign of struggle and no sign of gain
Never to change and always to visit
Sometimes i feel as if i’m having dinner with it
When everythings calm it starts to speak
“I am the love in your heart and it’s nice
to finally meet.

Beware Of Gunless Friend!

Posted on by

The dangerous people are not the ones
Who hit you with clubs and rob you with guns!
The thief won’t attack your character traits
Or belittle your abilities to your face!
It likely will be a well-meaning friend
Who merely crushes your will to win.
No, he doesn’t rob you, at point of gun,
He simply says, “It can’t be done.”
When pointed to thousands who already are
He smiles and says, “They’re superior!”
Personality-wise, and abilities, too,
They’re way ahead of what others can do!”
It matters not that his words are untrue
For, you feel “others” must know you!
So, you’re robbed of your hopes, your dreams to succeed.
Robbed of the material blessing received,
Robbed of your faith that says, “I can.”
And robbed by an ignorant, gunless friend.
So, the deadliest of men is not he with a gun,
But the one who tells you “It can’t be done!”
For that taken by burglars can be gotten again.
But, what can replace your will to win?

The Sea In Her Heart

Posted on by

Her heart sailed away from me into the sea,
Her love for me is just a fading memory.
I think of her love and faint to pray,
I trust in my God to show me the way.

Come back to me my love in the moon light night,
Embrace me once again for my heart to delight.
Come like the sea birds flying over the sea,
Come kiss me again for my heart to be free.

You are the young sunlight rising in the morning,
You are the brilliant full moon O my Immortal darling!
I see you like the sea waves on the shores of our hearts,
Don’t leave me and go for our souls to depart.

You shall be my eternal destiny until the end of time,
You are the divine inspiration in my sweet love rhyme.
Live in my heart and return to me once again,
Give me your sweet kiss to heal my heart’s pain.

Let your love grow like a tree planted by the sea,
Fly away like the sea birds but come back to me.
Let your soul be join to mine as an everlasting token,
Kiss me forever more for our hearts never to be broken.

Name Who

Posted on by
Reply

he has no name to answer to
Lets just call him ‘name who’
lets make him half chinese and half hutsu
He smiles really cute like you do
But unlike you he generates his smile from nothing but fantasies
his mother died when he was two
his father followed suit
when he was about to
graduate from high school
Now he lives in a world painted blue
Where he blames God for every misfortune
His ego sticks out tall like bamboo
To shield the traumatised kid within
The kid that yearns for something
true
Only if he could be reborn to a life thats new
In his mind nobody’s been what he’s been through
the haunting scars of life mark his body like tatoos
pain stirs up inside like a whirlpool
But he’s a butterfly strapped in this toturous cocoon
he swells up with pain like a hot balloon
He’s last resort is the mirror
The broken mirror that gives a perfect image of his life
eyes tight shut, shard in one hand painfully he slits his wrists
No life flashes cause he didnt have any
his body left exposed in the eyes of many
and thats the fate of ‘name who’
his identity doesn’t exist we make it do
He is the youngman on the
streets feeling hard concrete with his bare feet

A Special Love

Posted on by

It was a battle right from the start
When we were together or apart
There at first, I would kick and fuss
Sometimes in anger, you would cuss

I broke your heart and you broke mine
Bickering and fighting half of the time
You didn’t want me to drink or smoke
I drank anyway and I would toke

I got caught, you didn’t pay the bail
You left me sitting in that dirty old jail
You should have listened, I heard you say
Thank you mom, happy Mothers Day
