When at first the Pagan breast,
contorted faces leer,
From warm to cold, dark to light
Our first emotion,
Fear

7th Son of a seventh Son To watch the world form apon the void and reach to touch the face of Fate Face to face with faith in fate
We stumble towards the Sun

I opened up my crying eyes
as heavily I fell Looking unto my Beloveds
As outward, melioration springs
A calmness settled in my breast
An Angel stole my wings
And what now?
send me your work, and Ill place it here
so like my wee effort above, you can get a reaction
and a free place to show your newest works
Short Story
It was 3 am the sun droped slowly below the barron arctic wastes, the sand and gravel streamed across the endless plain.
Dave sat silently and heard clearly in his eyes, as a trash bucket tumbles across the window view as the magnatrain slid effortlessly across the end of the earth
Almost as reflex, Dave reached into his side bag.Fosicing around like some automated ferret, he finally produced a dark cylinder, and almost with parent-like care, deposited the black tube into the slot before him.
for a millisecond, the compartment filled with a white noise. An involentary wince issued from beneath the leather total-coat that covered him from toes to the massive drooping hood..Dave slowly lifted tired arms towards the folded animal skin, and forced it back in one clean motion.
The train lurched slighty as it rounded a volcanic cliff, at a little under the speed of sound. Dave grunted cursly beneath his breath, but was cut short by the crystle tones that now surounded him.
The air was, within an heartbet, alive and vibrant. Lights skipped before his eyes and settled on a screen, suspended three feet from his retina, to the millionth of a degree.
A great wind of vocal perfection cut the moment into a million fragmented memories. The light from a thousand smile's, filtered in dappled pain, fell apon Daves tired mind. Snippets of pleasure, moments of pain, the posabilities of endless faith, crashed inwards on him, and in the same instand died with the feirce fires from whence they had sprung.
Within the space of 150 miles, one heartbeat, an entire life, compressed into a moment, was forced into an unwilling mind.
A tear snailed silently down a lonly cheek, and settled without note, in the endless cavity within his soul.
And the darkness was complete.
I opened up my crying eyes
as heavily I fell Looking unto my Beloveds
As outward, melioration springs Oh My Love thou hast killed my soul
Hast thou hearty lust for blood
taken off mine life abounding in thy smile
And with the lie, the silent grin
Did prey apon my foolishness all the while
And like the fool, I let you in :(
This world we live in is never easy to understand
But sometimes even within the words, a message is lurking
Let your eyes feed the mind, and try to see things from the others side.
This above poem was sent to comfort a man who's heart was broken
It is tender yet ferm, and altho hard to read,
and harder to digest, it shows love, in a form that only one heart could understand.
I understand.

We are here, existing..
And for what!?
Nowhere within the realm of existance,
is there any example of none productive life.
Humans exist for one reason only
To become more.
And to that end, we are, therfor we do.
Life was designed by life, and can never be sidesteped
We OWE life, for life,
And as we talk we kill
Man Oh woefull tepid man
Before the terms of age are shown
Too late to gather seeds you've sown
Brittle in your heart and mind
How guilty thou hast grown
Well shit!, what do you exspect?, I am but what your lies have made me.
I kill, and maim, and in the name of country, murder with a smile
And all along the way
I listen to some lieing preacher say
"Go forth and kill in the name of God, for boys he art with thee"
But funny, just the other day, the preacher from the enemies camp
Said the very same thing to me!.

Oh, But what wicked webs we weave,
when at first we do practice to beleive.
Can you tell me in all honesty that you do not feel emotions?
Is your heart so cold. shriveled and without life
that you no longer feel lust?, Blood no longer stirs in the face of beauty?
I for one, am still a man, and in that find pleasure in the thought of true sexual attraction.
We are human, normal is our lust for life, and that life is not bought cheaply in some back street bonk session.
I stand before the world, strong in my desires, and strong in the faith in my bodies reaction to beauty. Be it two beauties embraced in lust, or the crys of a wolf alone at dusk
be it fire streaming from a mountains scared face
or smoky visions of sweet flesh sweat covered lace
I am alive,thinking, desire? in which I find no disgrace
Cold is the heart that stalks my past
tattered is the ensign that still clings to the mast
Of the ship that held my dreams
Yet, low, before me stands a chance
To taste again the moment of pure emotion
To hold once more complete devotion
You'l have to kill me before I die,
And woe to thee who hear my last cry.
With this ring I thee enslave
and all I have to thee I gave
but into, not out of, that lonesome dark cave
I steped from the light into the grave, where bones of past lovers littered your ground
To you it was nothing , Ha! whats one more?
and you past over my please, "what was that sound?"
But trust this lover deep is the score
left by your nails on my soul.
There was a time when I beleived that that was true, I felt hatred and fear, and anger ruled my depths. I woke on morning to the sound of my own screams. I remembered where I was laying. I sat upright in my single bed, looked at the photographs of my wife long dead, my wife that was left, left me for money and greed. I looked hard at the envolope on my dresser table, postmarked NY State, Beside that on a faided picture reprint, lay my wedding ring. I looked at my hand, and the imprint and scar-tissue was still evident there. :(.
Yes I was bitter, these few lines above are truely a reflection of that bitterness, but as I looked at the collection of odds and sods, that lay there on that table to greet me that morn', I am still alive, I am not alone, I am still Man, I still get hard thinking about sex, I still love the thrill of that first touch of wetness on my gingerly exsploring fingers. I thought for a time that there was nothing in the world that could feel as nice again, the legacy of too much pain.
But beleive me people. This too will pass.
It has,
So here ends the fist page , I have passed from lover to fool, from trust to dispare, from together to alone, after spending my hearts ample wealth on a hopless cause, I am once more reborn into the world, and no one had to be nailed to a cross.
I have come through the fire with no more than a singe-mark on the base of my heart. I am with hope, and again romantic threads, that once held me aloft during storms of imeasurable anger, are tenuously reaching for the soil, so rich and well watered by tears of dispare, that still lays within the confines of my existance .
To Be Continued
