A few more new poems.....:)

Compulsion
These fabulous finds
of color
selection
that gravitate towards
an instant perfection
cross mountains
and caverns
those who can afford
travel great lengths
to gain their reward
an instant of happiness
upon completion
joy for more dollars
lies of luxury
dependability
and strength
step right up
call out your name
your hope
your greatest desire
burned to the core
you
up against the wire
stop the words
stop the pictures
keep your money
stop the issues
hold
restraint
calm to think
keep the limits
short and brief
this will make
your life complete.

words
venom
all about
the purge
pass it on
slab by slab
someone
gave it to you
you give it to the next
pass it on
evil onward
walk down
slick it up
corner after corner
please stop
it's not funny
crawl away

Taste
Press
the pulse
back in
upwards
and
down
the ridges
of tongue
hot and sweet
chocolate rain
milk fresh
claw to the top
sink
then rise again
to be
remembered.

Mad
I dream again
of mindless beasts
passing over
the darkened sky
hands shaking
caught in
the fear
of childhood
over which
we seldom
remember
close the eyes
and pluck
those pictures
from the brain
although they beat
in the heart.

Books
Lapse deadly
into sleep
those false prey
that wander
unpleasant halls
bent on suffering
the tragic deaths
of the blind
pulled from fire
of the storm
whose pages read again
bring happiness
to those who wait
and gleam
the sense
to follow.

Fame
On tenders deep
the mirrors wilt
and all those who glory
feeds.

Next
The teeth
they are sharp
Collect the fire
watch it burn
beg for forgiveness
Rock
Walk
past lonely streets
only the blue
remains.

Some new ventures......

trust
On
weeping warrior wings
lead
fleets of ships
across the boundless
ocean
rest only when necessary
eat only when
the life requires
hold one eye open
in the depths
of the night
for enemies wait
not realizing
that all it takes
is one to plunge
the knife.

Heavy
want no less
or more
of the potent pleasure
that they
call love
turn your back
and plant
a fleeting kiss
to the one
that you desire
grab your coat
and walk through
the dark
alone
healed

tricks
roll-beg-sit
ask for a treat
come when called
howl on command
treats
stay

path
how can
one ignore
the flashes
fixed eyes
straps all a frenzy
tender foot
bruised and swollen
carefully set aside
for those
that wait
peeled and rotten
on the bedroom floor
center on strength of spirit
to guide
the deep dark and desolate

shift
tugging
the heart
hands free
the simple gesture
makes for glorious words
please

prayer
the danger
of this
how deep
the skin
burnt and broken
make endless the night
climb the hill
sunshine casts over
and the bones
that God broke
answer back

Reader
the long turns
of fear
string through
the veins
like wire
pressing the blood
tight to the skin
and holding hands
over angry
piles of books
that yell and scream
as they are closed

7 New.

kiss
powder
sweet as honey
how I wish
this smelled
like you
nestled next
in the dark
ten hours pass
and all
I remember
is the light
there are
fields of gray
behind that hill
engulfed within
the stones
that are
my stomach
ribbon wound
tight
The flood of
cool
green
grass
poppies
in a field
and all
that sings
quiet and still
listening to
the shine.

Door
Ah-pass
the corridor
the open landing
with
wide eyes
gleam
into the heart
of fear.

Pure
There streams
from the mind
something ancient
storm lit
against the tower
how gracious
lightning

sin
hatchet man
bring down
the house
call out
the guards
and sliver
them through
with golden
coins
creep up
the steps
hover over
the bed
with gray eyes
and claws
like daggers

Gratitude
Please
pitiful
loud
against the rocks
call the names
none with you
shall walk
the broken bones
flush against the skin
beaten down
into the dust
remember doors
two at your side
open one
while the other
screams

Fate
Fallen
kissing
the deep air
where dragons
once flew
red and ripe
fire passes through lungs
call them back.

Push
Press the petals
close against the eyes
let them breathe in
the warmth of amber
blend the seasons
stop the Earth
