Rogue Poet's Poetry
    Some may seem strange but
    read carefully and FEEL the meaning in them..



    Take a walk where the ether eddies ruffle your spirit,
    and the voices of the past can tickle your ears...
    Listen amongst the trees, to the tales of wars
    long forgotten, and the blood those trees were
    forced to drink... but don't forget those who
    came to bury their dead, and whose tears
    washed the earth clean again....
    Listen to the ocean beating out her rage, the
    greatest and most powerful of all mystic
    creatures. forever trapped in a crumbling cage
    that yields not!
    Come with me, walk beside me, and let me
    show you from whence you came... just gaze
    into the pool of my heart...
    If you lose yourself, you will at last understand me.

    Disillusioned,
    that's what I was....
    I've always heard.
    and seen on the movies,
    where there is one woman for
    every man; one perfect mate.
    And upon first glimpse
    his whole world shrinks
    to just him and her.
    The world stops spinning
    and all time ceases!
    His heart stops beating
    and crawls into his throat,
    his lungs quit breathing
    and he finds himself gasping
    as much in awe as for air!
    And the smell of her;
    now so strong yet sensual.
    And he knows life cannot
    continue unless she wills it,
    so stepping forward he goes
    to meet her;
    mouth suddenly dry, and mind blank,
    yet, somehow, he says something...
    she smiles, kinda... laughs
    replies...
    Her voice!
    angel choirs singing,
    cherubs ringing bells;
    so wonderful,so... perfect!
    Now they're floating together
    on puffy white clouds;
    this must be heaven!
    She is his dream, his wish,
    his every fantasy!
    Now life can really begin!
    Been lying to myself believing that!
    It is all just an illusion!
    And then I saw you...!

    My Need To Bleed

    The blood drips thickly
    from the wound,
    as soulless blade sears on.
    The heat long gone
    from within my heart;
    the tears dried upon mine eyes.

    Love torn asunder
    Gives only a soft moan;
    for sorrow long ago replaced joy.
    And the new man; alone.
    Living in a custom hell,
    bemoans his pleasure, for life is naught.
    So, to prove that I yet live,
    the soulless blade rips my flesh;
    and with proof of life, I weep!

    While it is important what our bodies do,
    its much more important that our souls stay true
    Cause without trust, we can't know love,
    can't even feel the heat from above...
    I can't explain why my soul's in this cage,
    where the walls are made of sorrow and rage...
    or why all of a sudden, my world turned dark,
    and the lines of pain are now so stark.
    But, I can say this world is real...
    its an emotional whirlwind that I feel....
    This storm of heat and angry rage,
    doesn't pass so easily as turning the page,
    because its entwined in life's desires...
    and can't be seperated by passion's fires!
    It is as much me, as my beating heart;
    just as the senses are a natural part....
    And yet, much more than these can be,
    for within my soul, it is a key...
    To unlock my mind and let it wander,
    seeking a refuge from which to ponder
    Why life is filled with so many trials,
    each a seperate poison, in its own little vial.
    An antidote too, lies within the glass,
    directions for use,... this too shall pass!



    Just a bone, held
    between the paws of yon
    watchdog, kept in check
    with guilt, a new religion
    brings us all to our knees.
    Bow down before the new god
    this loving betrayal, hatred
    Anger rising on wings of fury...
    new life promises, trap us in nightmares
    give homage to our new queen...
    fantasy, a travesty of justice...
    If only we could stop time
    and stop the insanity
    surely then the guilty
    could die ....




    I hear rain, birds
    singing in the trees.
    A ghostly lioness
    softly pads through
    the woods;
    death stalking....
    Midnight rain
    running down my face.
    Agile beauty, feline
    grace, ... love standing
    near. And I alone!




    Death walks slowly, softly
    on padded feet,
    the stealthy thief
    uses darkness for gain.
    Stoop to steal
    the lioness' heart
    be ready for the pain.
    Feel her teeth biting down,
    feel those claws raking
    yet know that what's lost
    can't be found
    whilst the two are love making....



    A living hell, existing on this plain
    of pain... nothing left but ash and blood
    stained clay to meet the eye...
    Grand of vision but can't see worth a damn!
    didn't see anything for the sight of you...
    And now so lost, I can't get there from here.
    Damn Texans, heartbreakers all...!



    The blood that drips from flesh
    recently ripped by dull razor
    cannot flow as quickly
    as the tears from the clouds
    in my eyes... Storm clouds
    Line my mind with fire and
    lightning... raging words striking
    quick as the snake, poison
    dripping from exposed fangs,
    Rending flesh and crushing bone!
    This rage gives so much heat,
    so much passion and all for naught.
    Because the soul is already dead;
    long dispersed... dust unto dust!
    Hate is so old, and love false...
    what use is there in mere existence?




    in memory of a certain Texan...
    So much anger, and yet
    as sanguine as fear...
    Run to me my darling,
    and I will cut your throat
    with your own lies....
    Put your head on my shoulder
    and I'll let your severed body fall!
    Tears make better mudpies than blood.
    The truth for once, is never better
    when accustomed to a diet of lies.
    Try as you might, I'll take no more pain
    from the likes of you...!
