Every other
other day
fighting
fevers
live-this-way...
fighting
fingers
of death's creep...
I BEG YOU,
kiss me tell me sweet
TELL ME THAT THIS IS NOT SO...
i beg you, beg you,that i stay...
and i could die another way...?

What bargain could I strike with Gods?
Place my bet. I'll take the odds.
And if there is but one god left
I'll milk Her breast and drink His breath,
If only to acknowledge death....
oh tell me, I have gifts, regrets,
can i die yet,
another way?
i beg you, beg you,
may i stay...

and may i die, another way?

The silence grins in mockery.
Yes...or, no...is good to me...

Every other day is good.
Every other day as should...
I feel...I feel...I am alive...
I wish...I wish...that I would die.

And get it over with.

Don't like the end of this one because I love my Celeste.......great write!... deep as a prophet's vision you can go sometimes Serenity... caught the trail of fears and tears spilling across the page....I love the dark beauty in here, the hurt that life imposes and turns a poet like you to writing this way...hope it's not really at your expense.....ethome

Lords of Passion                      

You sweet poet of melted kisses
The Lords of Passion will grant your wishes
H
eavens window watches your thrive
You must write and stay alive
Angels love your words of Passion
You're soft and stylish way of fashion
So don'
t let Satan steal your soul
Because he's tricky and that's his goa
l
Sing your beauty in every way
As you dance in every day
The Angels of Passion are watching you here
But so i
s the Devil seeking your fear
He is fun until the time
To take what's his in your rhyme
Promising things of your wants
A short-lived pleasure then he taunts
"SO" is this what you want
Because Darkness love's to flaunt
He'll deal you a hand and send you lace
Saying you're gorgeous while slipping an ace
Carry you away into his Kingdom
To invade you're mind stealing your freedom
With you the Devil dances your tune
Silhouettes embraced under the full moon
"
NOT SO" fast says the Lord
You abomination, there's something you've ignored
Her happiness is where it's at
Not to soar on the back of a bat
My child of Passion just sing in your own way
Don't let his charm lead you astray
I'm here in Heaven watching from afar
Just look to the sky, a twinkling Star

Serenity~
This is one heck of a pained write -

Remember - 'I feel...I feel...I am alive...'

There is no better feeling than that ! !

And - 'oh tell me, I have gifts'
Oh ... indeed that is so !

*And Insect's response is sooooooo right on !
My, my ! It's brilliant.

And now, little poet -
*Hug*

Serenity...wow...

Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

ETHOME...my sweet one, YOU are something, you know that? Celeste is well, and even picking up some French *wink*, I thank you much, you honor me greatly with your concern and your wonderful and generous replies.

insect....once again, you too, honor me. I am saving this page so that I can read your reply when I am down. You are adorable and you dazzle me, my friend.  Smooches to you, for that.

doreen...no words necessary with you...and again, if ya need an ear? I happen to have two.

Marge?  Big awesome hugs for my favorite cheerleader. You are really something special. You find the silver lining in every cloud, and for that alone, I could thank you.
Seven hundred times. If I knew how to do that without aggravating the carpal tunnel syndrome thing...lol..and much love.

Karilea...I've never had sunshine say "wow" to me before...winks and hugs and my gratitude.

Richard, thank you so much for reading, I have been enjoying your work as well...and hey...love and light to YOU, too.

vandana, what an honor for me! I love it when you pop in, and I do appreciate it very much. Thanks.

Hugs to the forum. And really, I am fine...

Glad to hear that you are fine my sweet as I was about to jump a plane and head down there with JM in tow.  Now we both know what that would mean don't we?  You are a gift to us all and your words are the ribbon in which you are wrapped and you are certainly one to be opened slowly and neatly as the moments with you are cherished in every second.  Hugs to you just because I want to and it feels so damn good.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.
