Marisol, Chopin, & Bukowski

Chopin came first,
His piano dark, moody
The “Poet” composer,
I slept to his notes.
Bukowski came later,
His words raw and real,
Poetry from the fringe,
Bukowski is inspired
by Alcohol and Chopin,
As am I.

Silence… would be better

Finally found the nerve
To listen to J.H.
Words bring pain
Drag up pictures
We forget
Then a phrase
A melody
Opens a box
And we feel again
Silence would be better then this
I am not yet ready
To listen to J.H.

that poem came this very second as i was posting a video.. funny how it happens… even when you have teardrop eyes

Barfly and Bukowski And People

 

Creeping, Searching and Lurking

Creeping, creeping, ever seeking

Lurking, lurking, always searching

Gone, gone, where can she be

the girls is lost, the girl is free

 

Crazy, crazy, do you hear them whisper

Calling, calling, why won’t she answer

Crying, crying, she is crying

She is crying, I am dying

 

Hissing, hissing, they hiss at me

The hiss at me, I cannot see

I cannot look

I cannot find

I cannot find her, she is mine

 

Creeping, creeping, ever seeking

Lurking, lurking, always searching

Gone, gone, where can she be

the girls is lost, the girl is free

Kinda my tribute to the Dr. Seuss style of writing LOL

Daffodil thoughts on a silent poet



:: Blank Page ::

I always admired him
His words captured my attention
Sometimes I didn't understand them
But the passion in those words
Told me more than he knew.
The excitement he had
The fire in his eyes when he shared his dreams
It brought me inspiration
His pen is silent now
And a fear creeps into me
He wrote to free  his mind
And at times to regain sanity
I wonder now how he keeps his mind
from shattering
His passion and abstract daydreams
A writer only puts down his pen
When they have given up on living.
