Tomorrow

A thousand miles away from you 
To the tomorrow, comes an ardent blood with new face
Where heart aches for lovers and for friends,
And woeful grace
Of lustful astrayed heads.

 Tomorrow in the galiot of afflicts
Sabotaging Lord's obsolete verdicts 
Riving seraphic appends 
And waylaying them to the deads.

 Tomorrow comes the sun, colour and flush
And anguish. Now let the ale wash 
Out of the evening, away from light
Lingering the days to murk from bright
Freezing the warm streams 
And debauch our rising dreams.

 Tomorrow man will 
Grabble to harm the flesh of his true mother
Abandoning his sons with bother.

 Today I found a little shell of oyster
Closed and dead 
With no pearl in its bed.

 I witnessed the ages passing 
And declared the era to end
In a round rot velvet case.

    The wretched kind we are, even in these poetic lines it's so difficult to estimate the cost tomorrow is paying for today. Couldn't feel more anguished. Would love to see more something like this.

Wine From The Cask

A wish fluttered in my heart, A desire soon to be fulfilled.  There's a grace she carries in her beauty,  They belong in the heart, in the superior guild.    I look into her heart,  The beauty I read gave me realization; A fine lady, with warmth and good at the core,  Covering no picture of physical description.    Her beauty taught me what eyes are, And the words that create a poem; The story is engraved and made immortal,  Unfurling untold takes in an exquisite rhythm.    Unwittingly intoxicating,  Words pour out like wine from a wooden cask.  Drunk on stories and high on poems,  I fall on her lap with a million stars to dusk.    Leaking and dropping,  It fell on me, feeding me peaceful sleep.  I drowned, died, and was resurrected; I was dragged to a side unfathomably deep.    Bright like a crowns smile,  The charm turned my world around.  In it, grey sky spoke of her fair fac...

A Girl

A Girl, Her soul a deep-wave pearl Dim, lucent of all lovely mysteries; A face flowered for heart’s ease, A brow’s grace soft as seas Seen through faint forest-trees: A mouth, the lips apart, Like aspen-leaflets trembling in the breeze From her tempestuous heart. She gave an apologetic shrug of the shoulders, as cold hands took hold  of one warm and sensitive breast, Such: and our souls so knit, I leave a page half-writ  The work begun Will be to heaven’s conception done.

Flur Through The Blur

She is the skipper at the porch with a storm of perfume, Husky are her eyes as the Correa dusky, Her cheeks like the dawn of day, And her hairs dark as the queen of the night. Then spake to an old sailor, "Last night, the moon had a golden ring, And tonight its blur, we see! I pray thee, put into a port, For I fear a hurricane." Sharper and deafening blew the wind, Gales from the northeast, The snow fell hissing in the brine, And the billows frothed like a cleanser. Down came the storm, The vessel in her strength; It didn't shudder her, unlike a frighted steed, She just wrapped the storm in her sea man's coat. She lashed the helm, all stiff and strong, With all face turned to the skies, The lantern cutting through the blurry sky, And she fixed the storm with her glassy eyes.
