(please feel free to take this apart.  I never take critisism personally and only use it as tool to get better thanks)


Death is warmth to the destitute
a womb for the afflicted
one which they long to return to.
Satiated minds,
whose minefield of voices
is like a buzzing hive of drones
serving chemical secretions
from a queen they have not seen,
they all seek my brother and only find
rubber rooms.

I, deaths wicked brother
doth hold them here.
They beg of me,
plead like lost lambs
for the familiarity of their mothers nipple
yet I hold them
closer, warmer, nearer to my soul.

I was born a fruit, from fruit
neglected by my parents
shunned the second I was created
Outcast, to wander, seek and find my home
My brothers and sisters you know them well
Birth and death
friend or foe
depending on what you believe


I have been cursed from the beginning of time
debated over liters of wine
The Buddhist know, Love me
only to be free of me

My sister,
is blessed among the women of your tribe.
Revered for gifts she bestows
potentials unleashed from a cell
exploding across time
like a drop of ink in an ocean of probabilities

My brother,
doth smile his wicked smile
and the pharaohs loved him so.
He is the mystery of my sister

I curse the day I was created
I cannot leave, there is no end for me
All I know is now.
now, this lonely now.
that now that never leaves
The world runs from me
like rats from a fire
scrambling, screaching
for a cesspool to save their souls

An aids patient in a hospital
who lived 5 years to long
caresses me like a child would it’s mother
The dying children in Africa
who have seen no rain since they were born
who know no food and only hunger
and thirst for something they know not of
they, they know me
they hate me.
A banker in New York
he knows me too
Yet chooses to face my brother
on ledge 52 stories up.

I have given you hope, love
Joy and satisfaction.
I have sacrificed all that I am
poured every atom of every thought
into the moments that make up your life
Hoping that one man, one leader
would end it all for me
the Buddha, Ghandi, Mohammed, Jesus,
they all knew me and let me be
I have realized my home
It is a transient place
My home is your life.  



 Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven claws

Tony~ these are your words, your thoughts, no one can change them or tell you how to make them better, as they belong to you, and only you know them completely. I thought this was deep.-SEA

Tony I thought this was pretty good.  I can tell you that most poets in open will read and give you encouragement if they like it or they will read and not post a comment if they don't like your writing.  You better get this one over to the critical analysis site if you want someone to take this apart.  Ask and you shall receive.  James

I agree very deep, Tony, I have shaken hands with this brother several times in my life.
And James is right, I think we in dark passions, can only read, feel, love, and have been taken apart ourselves, I’m not wanting to rip anything else my friend. But thanks for the sharing.
Joel.

a very proud look at humanity as all parts of one great system

looking out from within througn eyes of gods and their kin

  Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

Thank you one and all. Thanks for your comments and not comment by others that have read and not commented. I usually post in the critical analysis but this time i thought that I would explore the other forums.

See YA
