Long Godson Poems

The truth 
It will destroy you
An August day
While you sweep up
rose petals 
On our Sun drenched
porch
You look at me from
under heavy lashes
And say it's ok
You don't wish to be
without me
It's ok your always
want me
Your never...

I've gone through some emotional, 
Spiritual and mentally challenging days
And I've learned to keep my faith in God 
In the face of my dismay
I know hard times will always come
And that there will be rain
But...

There was a man
Who left a bar
He didn't have too much to drink
Or so he thought
It was just a short way home
And he knew the way
Even with his eyes closed
And they were not far down...

Life is like a game of sport,
Where skills can get you by.
Goals are the targets to aim for,
But sometimes direction is
Too wide or too high.
Yet you continue playing the game.
As you learn by your mistakes.
You...

I have no regret when I made you become Godfather
of my son.
For you have done more for me than both of my parents of 
What they should of done.
You welcomed me with open arms...

I spent the days looking at the ground
I thought the world had clipped my wings
I spent the hours saying I felt down
I had no strength. I felt entangled in things
And then I hear you called...

TRACES...

A faint footstep left behind since my birth
And a thousand years later, I found so clear
A burning vision from the flames of wailing hearts
A drum-beat, a bull-horn sound, a clap
A music of realities dorn, this...

Most of my days are spent alone

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Most of my days are spent alone
without having anyone else around

And I really don’t have that 
many friends or loved ones

That come around...

THE RISEN HEADS

We know ourselves for long, since ages
A time we spent in a small kiosk as bar boys, in the weekdays
A time we spent processing fish in the odd days
A time we spent tossing...

Tom was a Halloween baby, so we expected him to have magical powers.
We ran off to see him in the nursery, but it was over visiting hours.
He waved his little fist and the lights overhead...

Night.

Nay-it not now, when the darkness still crawls nearer
Night you shall always be the welcomed Angel, to implore
To nay-it, a message the sun has left, with fires
Oh shades of the day, magma and ice
Always at...

I've played part
Part for part - next, you wonder? 
Don't wonder ; for the excesses of night! 
Quite a candour, our mingle was.

These battles, I've tales to tell for!
The creamy, basking sunset cools, off the...

NOT A LOST ONE

Me, I am not. Long, long ago
When they bought my head, and dice it in flames

Pulling the hairs by the strands, teaching me far a mile from tradition
Thinking doing me a good,...

Trembling with madness
Within
I sense your coming
My eyes narrow and glazed
Intact

Fighting with loud and angry voices
Within
I hear you coming
My eyes wide and straining
Harder

Shivering with icy tendons of bone
Within
I see you coming
My eyes hard and pressing
Farther

Pushing with...

SHE SUNG

The Dream Keeper
Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers,
Bring me all of yours
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them up
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers Of the world.

I LAUGH:

Talk with...

One cross 
Left side 
Silent bore the shame of cursed 
Guilt, with scant remorse and no 
Small scoff 
Unfearful of 
Dying breath. 

Middle rood 
Central one 
Focus of the centuries distant yon 
Condemned to die...
