The Children of the Streets

To blow on the thistles,
And scatter the spores to the dusty winds,
Where the thistle loses its identity.
Growing bare,
Where they are the pods of the Gods sent
Down from heaven,
To become the creatures of the true heart.
The only sin they have committed
Is being born alive.
With no one to care for them,
Where their only aim is to survive.
As they must hide unloved,

From The Freedom Of The Forest

from the freedom of the forest
you trapped and caught this bird
and put it inside your cage
you love it and feed it well
on top of the ivory tower

you want to hear it sing
a love song
you threaten to kill it
and take away all its
colorful feathers

it does not sing still
the following day it lays itself stiff
dead and you tell yourself
it is not your fault
you too, like it, has been so
unloved.

Come To Me And Be My Morning Sunshine

come to me and be my morning sunshine
i slipped on a mossy stone
and fell upon
a deep river
and i almost drowned
and i am wet
and i am shivering
and i am alone
that night, that cold damp night
when i almost died

without you
and so i wish that you will come to me and be my sun
that you may spread your arms like sunshine
that i may live
that i may still profess my love

though unloved, betrayed, and so foolish

You Should at Times Go Out

You should at times go out
from where the faithful kneel,
visit the slums of doubt
and feel what the lost feel;

you should at times walk on,
away from your friends' ways,
go where the scorned have gone,
pass beyond blame and praise;

and at times you should quit
(ah yes) your sunny home,
sadly awhile should sit,
even, in wrong's dark room,

or ever, suddenly,
by simple bliss betrayed,
you shall be forced to flee,
unloved, alone, afraid.

No Choice

right, wrong,
neat, or dirty
whatever that be
he goes for consistency
loved or unloved
hate, indifference,
reunion, departures
hellos
he goes for consistency
stay put and travel
silence noise
chaos pandemonium
he goes for consistency

moving on always moving on
with the earth in circles
revolving upon an orbit
always moving on and moving on

what choice does he have?

Music in a Web

I'm falling
but my eyes are open
I am like glass
let the music flow
echo around us
let waves of pain be shattered
sight and sound sharpened
my heart whispers to me
you have shed your last tear
your voice embraced by my ear
my eyes search for you
alone and unloved, is how the Raven died
so catch me
tangle your words into a web
catch me.
Yes if only, if only
the moon called to me
bathed by the moonlight, I would stand
yours and mine
hand in hand.

Polishing the Turned Tables

Walking through an upscale neighborhood
With a recently acquired friend,
I pointed upward to certain well-lit penthouse apartments, and said,
These are the residences of scoundrel thieves
For whom I once paid miniscule amounts
To render an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth
To traitors and unconscionable informants
And now they live like feasting rats
As I make my way to a woman of means
To grovel like an unloved child or a starving dog.

A Blue Rose Tragedy

A tale of two weddings
wonderfully writ,
weddings have so many
secret tales to tell,

the tale of love unrequited
not reciprocated,
is a bitter low blow to groin
to grievous heart,

to watch another happily marry
long soul sought lover,
is nail driven into coffin bound heart
wedding couple merrily,

depart on romantic honeymoon for two
one left unloved can only rue,
hand of fate remorse grown dark of late
feelings grown blooming blue.

Another...'Last Goodbye

Nobody knows how it feels to be me
Always alone unwanted and unloved
Feels deserted, unneeded and unhappy
Till you came

But things will never be as I wanted them to
What feels so good is not right to do
So I’ll just say goodbye and let you go
I know I can never have you

But thanks for the memory that linger in my heart
The good things we shared for just a short while
Only these stay in my memory
Nothing to hold….No one to love me…No more you

Hate for..

I hate the way u dont notice me, i hate it that u dont call,
i hate the way you do your hair, and laugh at me when i fall.
I hate the jibes, and stupid names, i hate the games you play,
i hate the lies and dishonestness, i hate it day by day
You make me feel unwanted, you make me feel unloved,
but really im a angel, thats sent from up above,
You chose not to notice, its at the back of your mind,
my pleasures are not wanted, the truth is left to find
