The promise

I leave with haste
Somebody new came for you
The snap of a branch
The whisper of a cold autumn breeze
Chill of ice as winter tiptoes near
Lend me your scarf
My Island Jezebel
I remember days
When you were smoke and mirrors
Curling in the wind
Afraid of your own reflection
Lend me an ear
Let me whisper the promise
Of the freedom we've crawled into
Rock you awake
Be your Lullabye
Pigeon toed
As you stand a strict march
Let the scent of your perfume
Rest upon my lips
As I nestle soft lips 
Closer to the stem
Of my long necked swallow
And let me praise you
For Oysters love
Pearls that keep them

Wisdom slayed

Wisdom
Followers slay the dragon
of intellect
where wise men sit
there are foot stools
The iron clad
rinse the weakness from their
souls within
I swallow the stones
of my fears
bite down the bullet
these silences
swallow
you up
engulfed in the music
chemistry a chessboard
for the mind
my emotions
well they are
who carried you
with your gloved hands
the wounds
hidden away
behind them
 pulsing with blood
veins like ropes
bumps as volcanoes
jumping with sores
who carried you to
where the layman stood
worshiping
the pain
of Royal mistakes
as two fish eyes,
polish the floor
 It is glue
to never move from this pit.
