Courage Of A King

I am a deep  sweltering sea of emotion

Too tumultuous  for most to drink or even think of keeping 

My reckless devotion overwhelms the average heart of man 

Not many could even begin to come close or comprehend  

The intensity of the riches of my hunger for the longing at hand  

Weary of walking across a land of heartbreaking action 

But still believe in a piece that fits the soul of me 

Many come and end up leaving quickly 

It’s hard to find a heart of flesh that encompasses the courage of a King

To The One Who Is Worthy (Valentines)

To the one who is worthy,

I built my wall so high and thick preserving the heart that is so gentle within 

Too many have come before you, destroying  this sacred temple with no regard  

 I, unintentionally giving the purity of refined gold to deceptive suitors who only serve their selfish ambition 

Cutting any piece of flesh to make themself a protective coat 

Taking from my hands to collect the wealth of a lover with no return 

Only building up their fortress to pursue jezebel’s whom will only claw at their back and leave them empty

Only the one who is worthy will endure these forsaken walls and burn them down 

Only he will receive the innermost sanctuary of me that has been locked away for my own safe keeping

Alabaster Box

Alabaster Box

     I have been preserved within the walls of a sacred temple

Centuries of aged perfume in the confines of worshipful sentiment

      Refined by the fires of many priesthood’s to bring you the truest of rubies 

Laid open at your feet as a servant in saintly humility 

   Broken before you in an aroma of heavenly oils that wash over every scar 

An unending love letter of healing redemption

        Blanketing your tenderness for all time

Lying Here

Lying here, wearing your shirt

As the stars serenade your name 

I breathe in and the universe bows in array 

Too many reflections of my face within yours to deny the retrograde 

Of our planets aligning for a destiny of reunion 

Defined elements smolder under heated waves of vicarious desire 

As star crossed lovers fall into the captivity of one another’s armed abyss

For You Are

Day dreaming of an open road that leads to you 

You are a landscape of mystical fields serenading me in a whimsical tune  

I embark upon mysterious waters floating me into the deep blue hue of your eyes 

I find my home twined and stitched deep within your steadfast arms 

When I am wrapped in the chambers of you, I am hidden from the malice and bitter hands of a twisted  world

In your presence I hear songs of perfection 

Stirring every cell to an emergent awakening  

The magic of your touch colours my white washed body with brush strokes of amor

I press my pilgrims palm into the delicacy of your chest to feel every beat of your heart
For you are a home and place of belonging
For you are the refuge of a church set upon a lonely hill 

For you are an illuminating constellation in the darkened night sky  

For you are a piece of Heaven’s divine key 

A god laid before my feet 

A treasure to hold, to take and to keep

The Shadows Of Yesterday

Living in the shadows of yesterday as I picture you standing there 

The moment our eyes met and the world fell into a slow motion screenplay 

My black and white existence brightened with shades of red 

As your smile awakened my dulled beating  heart 

In the realm of fast racing time lapses you slow my body into an old fashioned lull

Your embrace is as tender as the cheek of newborn flesh 

Your sultry chattering tongue releases endorphins of spiritual enlightenment 

Lifting my heart to heights of psychedelic elation 

Staring into your beckoning eyes 

Opens the depths of seas unreached 

A parallel universe of layered emotion 

Igniting a life where only two exist, a place for only you and I 

A Greater Distance

A greater distance grows as the earth slows to a puzzled pause 

As the ground beneath me falls due to the weight of your walls 

I grow ever more confused and broken 

For what have I done to deserve rejections only token 

I have only poured out love upon your head 

In a humble gesture to wake your heart from the dead 

Instead of a gifted kiss you have gutted my insides of a lover’s hopeful bliss

Eternal Tree ....

Know this my love, I never say things to hold you in captivity

I only speak of the truth that lies within my bones to set your spirit free

Whether your heart is held by the deception  of Jezebel’s right hand 

Or the pillar of dust that holds you captive to your past life  

I am here to baptize you in flames of enlightenment that will consume your aching body with peaceful rest 

I will anoint your brow with redemption to awaken your weary mind 

In your wandering,  I will sacrifice myself to show you the path 

I will wait for you in the desert wastelands until my body becomes earth 

And all that is left of me is a memory that forever guide you to the eternal tree

Above Sails Of Sorrow

I want to paint your face amongst the stars and fly your dreams above the sails of sorrow 

I want to hold your dreams in mason jar's to protect your mind from the devouring world

I want to preserve your child like gentleness  and save you from the hollowed well of fears

I want to set your feet upon the mountain tops of glory 

So that you never have to struggle amongst the muck and mire of valleys 

I want to set your heart on fire with the fulfillment of your utmost desires 

And hold you up with strength when your body starts to tire

GypsySoul.

::..GypsySoul..::

My gypsy soul wants to float away on the neck of a feather 

To descend upon a wave far from the ocean shore 

Yet my feet stay ever consistent with the conviction of responsibility 

Weighted by the floors of foundational commitment

Ever resisting the urge to bend and break away 

Holding on to the ropes of solidity within my raging soul 

Fighting the desire for freedom beyond the wall 

As I lock the gate to keep my wandering mind to stay

Moon & Stars

You’re my moon and stars when the fallout comes so fast and hard

Every time I look in your eyes

From the shooting stars that dip into daylight

You’re the one I dream of from the ocean floor to the sky up above

When you say my name it’s no surprise

That the universe spins for you and I

A Beautiful Burden

Your silence has been settled on the lips of a mounted moon

The dusk breaks to dawn as the stars dim to lume 

Walking the desert floor as it fails to ail such aid 

As my feet drag the dust of a lover's masquerade 

A beautiful burden to bear on my back of softened sap

As I look to the heavens to seek the answer, on the door of the wise I tap 

He has used my arms for a rare moment of rest 

His words have nestled deep in the heart of my chest 

All that I have gained is the void of his love 

So I send my travesty away on the wings of a dove 

A Bullet And A Target

Be fast, be quick 

As you blow out the light from the wick 

For if you know a love to come so quick 

It will crate a depth of layers so thick

The dose will ail you like an evil trick 

Be on guard, tight grip

Watching as embers float above-head trip

A fire delved in drink, deadly to sip 

Sending your gut into a reckless flip 

Breathe solitude, be swift

Steadiness will slip, your control will drift 

Into a confusion of hypnotized lift 

The beautiful terror of love's gift 

Be smooth, without theft 

In safe chambers I once slept

Until this day my heart has not been kept  

You hit me, a bullet and a target, my soul has wept

aDoRnEd

I observe you

Breathe You in

Let you rest upon my skin 

As I once knew 

Your song like my kin 

I call out to hear your heart beat again 

Like a puzzle

Moving eight to fit ten 

An intriguing mystery to replay and re-pin

Long stemmed poses 

Of peddled feather's rim 

An outline of angels adorned in a rue of sin 

#redcoatewritings #poetry #paintedpoetry

Heavenly Theft

Pieces of you melted into pieces of me

As if we had known each other a life time 

Two human beings brought together by the crashing swells of sea 

Two sheets of skin bleeding into one flesh
 Like scarlet fever running through our veins 

A diseased love infecting the chambers of chest 

Leveling the cost in a game of chess

Each piece moving further from the other 

Waking fear in the arms of gravity's Confucius mess 

A haunting love too intense to be kept 

Like bottling stars in a mason jar

To hold it would be a heavenly theft

Ash

Smoky rain in the landscape of love

Confusion plucking the feathers of a lonely dove 

Clashing of the Ash filtering into layers of the horizon above 

Feeling the fated fight for the will to let go 

The brutality of pruning barren limbs to produce and grow

Stomping death under feet in a shallow tomb below 

Rebuild this fragile frame with soft mitt hands 

Wrap me up in the chamber of only heavenly lands 

Place me atop the starry map of  perfect plans 

Straighten these shaky legs and correct the eyes of fools 

Taking failure down to drown in the river bin to healing pools 

Release the relentless ties of  condemning rules

The Moon That Bled Until It Was Dark

The ocean suddenly became empty 

The day you ran off with my heart 

Your mouth uttered charmed promises that were broken from the start 

The moon bled until it was dark 

Mourning the shining love it once embarked 

The tenderness of my hopeful eyes 

Would cry until the embodiment of turmoil drained every spark   

I don't want to hear your voice of lies 

So many walls have been built to hold agonizing sighs 

The titanic of selfish ambitions into crashing highs

To lows that brought my feet to the soil where feelings morose & die

Grape Flavored Gum

You are like grape flavored gum

You came on strong 

Poignant in vibrant perfection 

When you hit my tongue 

Combustions of full bodied feelings 

Rested in the back of my throat 

Your words fed my hunger 

Your sugary sweetness held me like a coat 

Your eyes kept me waiting 

While your kisses sent me afloat 

HEROIC KEY

Subtly suited in a gentle posture of rare eminence

The prestige of a god wounded by a tumultuous reckoning

Clothed in the pride of a family heritage that birthed perfection 

Broken over the hardened fist of a father's fury 

Sifting in the grief of a lost dream under the heated irony 

Falling from the love of youthful lips 

To the cruelty of a lover's lying kiss

The journey of hardship and barrenness could not put him under 

For he stood upright in victory,  triumphant over death, holding high the heroic key 

#redcoatewritings #myoriginalpoetry #heroickey

Sorrow & Glory

I exhale, giving you forever 

Yet you have never penned a word to keep 

Adolescent child that chokes on gullibility 

Swallowing the wine of sincerity 

Stepping into the sanctuary with eyes closed 

Falling from the height of Heaven's hold 

Pulling up against the stairwell wall 

The barren life of unending circles 

I don't know how to tell you I love you

The pandemonium of sorrow and glory 

Smudged ink stains of a home grown story 

Proses of a daunting end
