The truth

]Chins like enclaves carved from gold
Eyes that snowed the story told

Lips like lizards grossing slurps
Hair a bundle of tiny burps

Arms a length of luscious yarn
Tummy joy like rose s worn

Misty voices identifiably unknown
Ankles like stones in a river thrown

Toes the pettiest pigs cuddled down
Ears the envy of every clown

Fingers fickle like lovers words
Skin like ancient cloth unfurled

Palms like pressing powder smooth
Thighs like natures naked food

This is the spiral that I crave
For I am lost without a grave


A mans clothes


In time before the Christian rules
When rags were worn with wisest sentiment
And soldiers forlorn with ugly sense
The men of noble would be quite astute
And dress with touches of relish compliment
The poor with traces of their roots
Would open in cloth of horrid suit
Or so would say the Venetian women
Who’d Prance upon the avenue
In demure of sacred blaspheme
Never realizing the consequence
Of such unending magniloquence.
And gloriously ignore the need of poor
To buy into the realms of relevance

Tick Tock


The calculated seconds simmer
As number 4 is laborious
Thirsty for that first glimmer
“File the first: A notorious”
Read the third three times
On how A, then B, then C
Lead me away from those seven crimes
And duplicity

Spied that solitary two
Wrapped as a figure 8
Their souls met beneath a tree
On lips s wet their lonesome fate

And number four is almost through
As Z equals 26
He cries “this ninth file is only new”
“I smell another fatal fix”
The small black book
The thin red lines
The purple patch went unrecorded
The ledgers bent, the lights too low
The purple patch went unrecorded
The light the noise the ebb and flow
The balance almost nigh,
Love was U the twenty first
You let me be your number 2
But I like this ninth file still thirst
For order through and through

Between us

From you to me, point A to point B
Is as big or small as we want it to be
Our souls rejoice our souls sing
For between us lies nothing and everything
We’re one and one not a simple two
Together we’re one and I know you
Our souls parade as if already made
For between us there is nothing we can feel that can fade

From you to me point A to point B
A distance complicated by simplicity
Our souls rebound an echoing sound
We’re lost between us never to be found
A solitary two we’re singularly untrue
Joined like a circle broken in two
Our souls see that we are free
Within each others eternity
From you to me point A to point B
Lies us between us a symmetry

PF

One greasy toiling deftly done
Towering avarice in everyone
Devils grip, hells fire smile
In the eyes of justice, denial
One soft moment, an honest look
Buried inside a buried book
One thousand voices trembling home
A thousand voices yet I’m alone
Times black summer night
Had no reflection in future light
Where evil noises sound so right
And heavens image out of sight
Numbers rattling through my mind
Descending ravage in fine time
And as those shady streets unwind
Journeys to another time
Where a cursed wrath in wholesome bind
Chains the soul of one so kind
The flailing leaves in the autumn sun
Is contradiction defined in one
And I am left like everyone
Dead and soulless yet still so young

I'm no poetry conoisseur but I liked the first one the best, it came together at the end. The last one was good too and 'Between us' could definitely be the lyrics to a Felix da Housecat tune, seriously.
