So deemed a tawdry object there of lust
As to caress your form with hungry eyes,
The thought, the tongue, the fingers soon to thrust
By all the wonts that pleasure may devise.
Reluctant buttons here the lover’s bane
Now wrenched asunder falling to the floor,
The turgid lips that drive the mind insane,
Lace bodice split that loveliness outpour;
A breathless rush full crazed by passion pure,
All civil reason savaged by desire,
Base beast of ages raging to procure
Tart taste of flesh from out the carnal mire.
The brute now sated, sapience reborn—
Bloodguilt rude stained upon that frock lain torn.

What force should move that e’er I seek you so,
What piqued in me that sudden strong desire
That should broad rivers part yet still I go,
Or walk a hundred miles and barely tire?
No obstacle could block that chosen route
Straight to your heart where sings the golden bird
Wherein lies beauty and that speechless truth,
Fulfillment so, the conquest of a world! 
But if by some black chance you love not me
And your sweet heart is to another given,
By blade alone I would so steel the need
To leave this life and seek a separate heaven.
Without your smile there is no morning sun,
There hope lies slain and my sad song is sung.

The birds now build a nest
And milk comes to the breast
The world moves on and I
Bemoan the by and by
 
The bees buzz on the air
The fox prepares his lair
The proud hawk floats on high
As tears rise to the eye
 
The buds sway on the trees
Sweet songs waft on the breeze
The whippoorwills apprise
Of someone near demise
 
The clouds move gently on
And soon the spring is gone
No good to wonder why
I look at you and sigh

There is no scalpel edge, no well honed word
That cuts more deeply than your incisive hate
To part the flesh unto it’s beating core
So marking scars to bear to heaven’s gate.
There is no venom that could poison so
Where but a single drop could legions raze;
No piercing eyes to run the very soul
As found within that vicious rapier gaze.
What demon now does your gaunt form possess
Where here I see the skull conform the skin,
Those bony fingers that the mace now grasps
So set to bludgeon with a fang gaped grin.
Would I have yet been blessed to see that curse,
Or more to heed, ‘for better or for worse’.

So was he venerated there in death
By jealous lips that now defied all bounds,
Where by extolling merit bright in breath
Paid homage to their own gilt lofty sounds.
Speaking loudly as if the pledge so said
Bombastically ascribed proud pious praise
Yet still upon some granite to be set
To crown the hallowed plots of distant graves.
They did not care for him in his brief life
Save for his lauded portion of the sun
That so eclipsed their light in darkened strife,
Or dulled the music of smug songs they’d sung.
Here still to claim some virtue of the man
Where words of him yet to themselves commend.

I held the world ransom with my pen
Daring that I would soon reveal it’s sins
And bring rank faults unto the scathing scan
Of every eye that deftly truth defends.
The world laughed and said “you silly boy,
You are of lowly birth, what can you prove
And from the throng, who hears a lonely voice
That ever could dark hearts of stone so move?”
You are correct suggesting I am one —
But every line begins with just one word
And words unto more words beget a song
So sung by lips of truth ‘til all is heard.
There is no greater lever held by man,
So heed my ink and ‘give me where to stand’.

What two dimensioned art could herald you,
You whose sovereign grace yet knows no bounds?
Whether plumbed by sight or weighed by virtue true,
No bottom there or scale of worth be found.
No sculpture, portrait or fine script borne praise
Could ever mark your wealth, nor yet no song
Sung here by angels heralding second days
Could more swell  breasts of hearts where you belong.
No hand of man, or still, what hand of God…
Save that which blessed your pilgrimage to earth—
Could frame a work not deemed a grand facade,
All acts so planned full mortified in mirth.
Ethereal in scope, what skill dare read;
As every eye that stares stays so agreed.

The world’s now too full of self it seems,
Material ethos worshiped like the sun;
Pride subject to false virtue there to deem
The rights of many slave but to the one.
No point of view may counter that which is
And that which is now but a point of view
Designed to close all doors where freedom lives
There to the wicked, power to accrue.
What once was right now ever seeming wrong,
What once was white now fifty shades of grey,
All words of truth full censored by the throng
With fear to throttle what the wise may say.
A Tower of Babel reaching to the skies;
Assured to court disaster and demise.

There is no proclaimed flower nor yet no
Ascribed weed immured by fate within it’s
Hour, adjudged by outward grace alone;
But in her scented glory yet she sits
Assessed of worth there sole by sight and smell,
Rude soiled, shamed by vermin that do crawl
Between the petals of her blossom’s shell—
Who ravish, plunder or do heartless gall.
Where is the story that she proudly holds
The clods of earth protecting them from rain
Or of the nectar that sustains the fold;
Her simple essence that assuages pain,
The quiet labors which afford each breath,
Or of that form to nourish yet in death.

I brusquely thrust my words into her mind
Pounding her thoughts as yet again, again,
That there her pleasured soul in wanton kind
Might give herself and to my heart remain.
That vox of primal verse beat as a drum
Long echoing base rituals of the past,
Coarse lines that public company would so deem
Licentious, lewd, lubricious, even crass.
But soft she did embrace the libertine,
And dewey-eyed she seeming understood
The discourse there that flirted nigh obscene
And so debauched, did intimate she would;
That conversation carried on past dawn
‘Til silence blessed the sheets we laid upon.
