back-words... poem...

I submitted this poem for a game called Mabinogi on 1/15/14. Unfortunately I did not win the contest, but I enjoyed creating this piece.

 

in-game name: Kusachiho
server: Alexina

Mabinogi Winter Merriment

A trusty dog and sled is all I need
to coast icescapes, making monsters bleed.
Choice of weapon matters not,
In every way, I'll slaughter the entire lot.

Even bare-handed, I will tear
through every last bear.
In the end, I'll marvel with glee
that I leveled exponentially.

After the threat has been eliminated,
I'll note that I hardly hesitated
and setup a campfire to cook,
thinking, "Eat your heart out, Nanook."

back-words... more old poetry...

I was sifting thru old email (circa '99 onward) and came across some works that I hadn't recorded elsewhere nor backed up to here. I know this is the first post in ages, but writing about all that has happened in this time will have to be set aside for one or more posts. Ironically, the reason I was even doing this has a little to do with why I was gone, however I was not expecting to find things to post!

going, going, gone

i reached out
into the darkness
and grabbed nothing.
now i have
what i didn't before...
i stared out
into the brightness
and went blind.
now i see
what i didn't before...
i stepped out
into the emptiness
and fate prevailed.
now i feel
what i didn't before...


unitled lyrics

gimme a dime i'll give you the time livin lovin as one
as separate beings individuals we face the world as
entities searching for that higher place searching for
the love we need gotta be gotta have oh that state of
mind the oneness the singularity of the two making a
whole we gotta take the time to realize to sympathize
to know the differences between what's right and
what's wrong we gotta be quick to decide gotta know
the answer can't make another mistake how ya learn the
lesson hard can be the killer and then you fade
away...
 
 
memories
 
memories, 
like autumn leaves, 
fall where they may 
into their place in time, 
only to be scattered and lost 
by whispers of age 
and hint of new colors 
to show 
on the tree of life...

poem...

I wrote this recently after about a month of various incidents and was feeling very contemplative about things when the first few lines started to come to me one evening. I had considered making it a little longer and expanding on some concepts further but decided that this was succinct enough as it was. It isn't my best work but it's ok and it came from genuine feelings so it's quite valid as it stands. 

Life...

A person comes.
A person goes.
Another comes back
And a new one arrives,
Yet one is gone for good.
Much is learned.
Much is forgotten
And more experiences
Await on the horizon,
Some of which we have,
Some of which others have,
And good or bad,
The cycle continues...

back-words... recent poems...

If you have been following my blog from the beginning, you will be familiar with the heading "back-words," which is my little play on words indicating writings from the past. Previous writings can come from various sources, such as blogs, notebooks, as well as randomly found articles on which to scribble.
Today's back-words is an assortment of writings I came across in a small memo book I've been keeping for important reminders, temporary record keeping, as well as random thoughts and drawings. The book is starting to get a little worn and pages are coming loose so I thought I might as well remove some pertinent pages to transcribe over here. I hope you enjoy this small collection...


There are questions
that I cannot yet answer
which are deep in meaning
and require fuzzy logic
for finding an answer,
however these questions
easily and quickly
take a backseat
in my mind
when I am with you.
I can find security
in knowledge
and the truth of things,
but I find comfort in you.
Easily, in the name of love,
these issues that I endlessly ponder
can wait for another time,
and often have.

-----

please forgive my tooty
which may not have been very fruity,
or maybe it was
and that's the problem.
all i did was
lift my booty
and out it came: poot, poot, pooty.
i lift my booty
so it's nice and loud.
i squeeze really hard
so it'll come out proud.
then i can walk a away
knowing it's strong
and i feel better
all day long hoping that
the gas i passed
will last and last.
sharing a good vibration
is only part of the sensation...

*note: this was inspired by my uncle's brand of humor and was created for him.

-----

shall we take a chance?
let's go out and dance.
the summer is full of romance.
i don't care if we can't stay out late.
maybe it's destiny or fate.
this moment is another chance
for our souls to be together.

-----

i stand at the threshold
of a new life.
as always,
it is just the beginning
so the future isn't clear
and how to get to my goal
is precarious.
nonetheless,
i will try
and do what i can

-----

so many tales told
of love saving one's life,
winning one's affection,
and of course
feeling love which isn't returned.
i'd do anything
for love,
anything...

-----

sometimes i feel jealous
of joyous lyrics
because they sound great,
but i've never been able
to write like that.
i don't write much
once i am swept away.

-----

pastimes no more-
we used to sit on the floor
and listen to music
and dance in silence
just because we were happy.
we used to eat outside
under trees and giant parasols
when the weather was fair
and the food was handmade.
we used to wear simple clothes
decorated with colorful threads
and simple beads.
we used to dream
and let our minds wander,
yet all this has changed
over the years.
what happened?

easter haiku...

this was off the top of my head and sent to my cousin and uncle on easter.
neither of them ever acknowledged it so i guess it wasn't very good...


easter

the rabbit brings eggs
you eat some yummy candy
this is a nice day

poem...

the will of love

when we pass on,
time goes on.
would you still love me
from where we lie?
will our souls entwine;
would our essence combine
for one last time?
there's a chance
we might dance
on the leaves of trees,
waltzing in the breeze
in love, endlessly;
you and i, eternally,
in dust and snow
as seasons come and go...
would you be mine
til the end of time?

poem...

my good wish

my good wish reaches out
from the ether to touch my heart.
the feeling, profound as always,
sends my emotions soaring.
sometimes i wish that good wish
was for me and me alone,
but i know that wish is selfish
and is easier said than done.
my good wish is adoring,
kind, gentle, and searches for ways
to bring happiness while we're apart.
my good wish is special, without a doubt.

sweat

over here, over there
cuff you to a chair.
give you a mouthful,
pull your hair.
nibble on an ear,
taste a salty tear-
can't get enough
of that sexy stuff
called lovin'...

you are my precious treasure,
you are my velvet butterfly,

and i love you.

Random Grazing

Traces of booze in my milk…
Kitty says no,
But I would trade you a bone any day.
Please don't hide-
But life is so difficult.
I think, therefore my thoughts wander…

A drinking vessel by any other name
Would stain just the same,
So change your glass often
And clean your glasses, too,
For life may offer
A clearer point of view.

Children dancing in the elements…
Free spirits and ghosts of the past
Haunt the shadows of my mind.
I would give life to you
If I knew you would keep it
And return the favor…

Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I could taste your lips
After you've eaten something delectable.

Sometimes I wish your scent would linger
As you walk past me.

Sometimes I wish your breath would catch my ear
When we are one.

Sometimes I wish I could hold your body
Because being near you isn't close enough.

My Solemn Kiss

In the heat of the moment;
In love and anger,
I long to bite you;
To place my mark upon you-
A seal,
A promise,
A vow…
My commitment,
Regardless where life may lead,
To you,
Always and forever.
Shedding tears of delight,
Even through burning pain,
For my love for you
Knows no limits.
This bite,
This kiss,
This love
Is my promise
Bound unto you.

Chance

Let me place my scar upon you
As you would place yours upon me.
Sweet whispers drift
Into eternity,
Where memories fade
And love aches
For a sugar-coated dream.
Let me lie with you
And turn hope
Into reality.
A love like ours could explode
Beyond hopes and dreams;
All we have to do is try…
I see the answer in your eyes
And you are all I need.

kiss

kisses so powerful
that your emotions want to burst
like fireworks in the sky...
this kiss,
so sweet,
so tender-
one last kiss,
i love you,
i miss you already,
let me remember your lips like this...
tearful and joyous,
later you can still taste your love on your lips
and a familiar scent lingering on your clothes-
you will reflect and smile
at the thought that you shared
something so pure with someone
who magically stirs your emotions
like no other.
until next time,
just one more kiss...

another poem...
seduced...

once again i find myself seduced-
not by touch nor scent,
but by sweetness.
i confess my adoration of sweets,
but lately i haven't satisfied
it, nor found anything so succulent
as i have today when i submitted
to a juicy fruit's spray.
down my cheek, ran the spatter...
so sticky;
so soothing-
simple happiness is restored within my soul.

poem...
warmth

in my dungeon
where candles glow,
you rest against a stony wall, moist.
your hair is disheveled and in your face,
by your gaze, i know you're lost in thought.
your body is cold,
but you ignore the inviting warmth
of the candles twinkling.
the puddles are as black as the shadows;
they, too, ignore the candles.
you acknowledge my presence
before your eyes turn to mine.
i know what's on your mind-
your darkest desires,
speaking volumes and i sense
the urgency of your need.
fuck me, you say,
but it isn't a request.
it isn't coy and dirty;
you need to feel again.
alive, whole, loved...
i know, i need it, too.
dusk fades and your needs build,
just as my urges begin
to dominate my mind...
i want to do unspeakable things to you,
but you're not phased;
you want my touch,
softly, firmly, lovingly,
to express all the love of my heart,
to express all my feelings
through touch...
words are unnecessary now.
it's the warmth of touch-
love me,
hurt me,
fuck me...

down and blue

seeing blue,
feeling blue,
feeling down,
looking down
at the tracks below me,
over the edge
from where i stand,
from where i drive,
at where i could be,
wondering if that's where i should be...
took off the shades
and life looked less pretty,
as pretty as it felt,
as pretty as i felt;
blue wasn't very pretty,
nor am i...
what should it matter
what others think
if it isn't what i think
except i'm alone
and often ignored,
still i don't care
because i don't want to fit in;
i want to be accepted as i am...
there i stood
feeling down,
looking down,
feeling blue,
wondering what to do.
it doesn't matter
because i don't care.
i don't let it get to me
as much as i can,
but sometimes i wonder
when i stare
out into the blue
what will i do,
who will i be with-
could it be you?

another poem...
killing me

yesterday i had to move your picture briefly...
touching it was powerful,
emotionally and physically.
i asked myself why i still kept your pictures up
when we don't see each other anymore,
when we barely even talk,
since that has been your choice
despite my efforts,
but i already knew the answer...
it's because of things i felt then.
beyond the pain and sorrow,
there are things i still feel now.
for years i've had hope-
hope for something better;
i still hope, but i know better.
i still hurt, but i know better...
as i listen to music, i reflect-
i hear the voices;
it's the agony of love
and it pierces right though me.
music, soothe my broken soul
and heal these damaged goods
sitting upon a rusted pile
of thorny lies.
loving you
is like opening pandora's box
and i wish it weren't.
loving you
was to taste forbidden fruit,
but i wish i could taste
that sweet pomegranate
again, forever, always...
yes, always,
for no other fruit
will satisfy.
still, i wipe my tears
and try to move on
from an inescapable you.
you who penetrate
my thoughts,
my dreams,
my soul...
you barely ever talk to me anymore
and i try to move on,
but after all this time
it's still so hard
to completely let go.
