soul’s lonely walk
with fears stalking
love’s knock unheard...

a lonely walk while
shoulders brush on crowded streets
get out of my way...

Stars magic mist that surrounds the night lady
A lady of shape body with grace flowing into a field of dark
Lit by the tiny whimsical dust that helps carry her form
Solid is she the night lady that is covered in a veil of starlight
Comforting sight to see her lonely walk away...

it was the roses 

that kept him going

crimson petals

and cinnamon scent


the wreath 

full of thorns

with ink blood

tattooed to his crown


a garland of nettles

propelled his feet

as he took the lonely walk

away from the crossroad

My lonely walk alone
gives me time to
think about the hurt
which is nagging me.

It resurfaces to attack 
now and then until 
I decide to shake it
loose as I saunter off.

My mind takes in 
the scene I pass
looking at children 
playing in the city park.

They are laughing and
having fun in their world
of play in which I wish
I was part of again....

Lonely Walk Accompanied

I walk the streets alone yet you're here
The eyes of you are upon me yet I can't see
Come away with me please
I walk the streets alone yet you're here
You are not a shadow
Yet you say I matter
I walk the streets alone yet you're here
The eyes of you are upon me yet I can't see

Want no mourning morrows
No running lakes by the falls
Want no laughing sorrow
No empty standing by the walls

Don't lock my door of morrows
Don't stretch your hands, where i can not touch

Don't shake your head, i'm no lost
Don't leave me on a lonely walk

I'm tears for rain to come
A drying flower for joy to come
I'm your dream to creaming dawn
A lonely child to a growing world...

Another lonely walk
But still with you I talk
Though only in my mind
Of subjects of all kinds
Mostly that of love
But sometimes that of more
And always you agree
With what I have in store

And also say you do
The things that you want too
Coincidentally
They're the same as me
In sharing what we'd like
And how it'd feel so good
I would not say no
Yes, I'd say I would

LONELY LONG WALK 
LONG WALK, 
LONG MARCH, 
LONG MARCH LONELY 
WALK TO FREEDOM, 
MARCH TO FREEDOM 
NOT TO FREE-DOOM; 
FREEDOM OF SELF, 
FROM THE GREED, LIE, ILLUSION......... 
LONELY WALK 
FINALLY WALK TO GREAT EMANCIPATION 
EMANCIPATION OF THE WORLDLY SLAVERY, 
WORLDLY DELUSION, BIGOTRY............ 
LONELY WALK TO THE ETERNITY, 
TO THE CELESTIAL WORDS, POETRY

Moons talk, 
Tarts believe in pride, 
But all falls; starts the lonely walk! 
All to test the banks' tide. 

When you're washed, yet, unstill 
Like pride of Barbados, 
Rippled by feet of unending March, 
Hope lingers for its shoot, off the soil. 

The weed today, a flower, in moons time, 
The abandoned konga, the beats- 
Of a runaway-mad child 
To the wise, anger heals.........
When you're washed!...

It amuses me when people ask
“How are you?”
Fortunately for us both
They never ask
“Who are you?”

For that answer relies upon a deep dive
Into the hollows of a heart
The scorched remains of a soul
A lonely walk
Through the darkness of youth
The crumbled “joy” of innocence
The malingering residue of defeat.

Do not ask who I am
Just leave me to further become
The residue of resurrection’s raw madness

When night comes to stay then 
you know the true meaning of 
darkness 
It makes you cry from the 
despair of the heart and your 
tears flows like a running river 
Memories  flashes 
through......when the soul 
begins to search life
life is a running race only death 
puts an end to it
Then you realize you will walk 
the lonely walk 
someday...............
 Only time differentiates 
between life and death....

Pockets of sleep 
Wrapped inside thick blankets of your perverse dreams
Open your mind as your eyes shut and everything fades into black
Like the flat black of a moonless night
Incept only what you need
And, give it all away if you can
Casting the perfect light shown
Bleeding painfully through the lost clouds of your reality
Falling like the drops of condensation on the outside of my Pabst Blue Ribbon onto the dark sidewalk 
Leading the way to your lonely walk home...

Lonely Walk

Cold gray dawn, mist overcoat
comforting as damp muslin gauze 
shrouding the eyes of the detached and departed.

Decrepit footpath, cracked and neglected
as the mothers graves across the field
backs cracked by careless footfalls no doubt.

My own gone these many years now
the Belfast cemetery not far from here
her stone unfound after searching.

Somber Irish mist, where legends and relatives mingle
sometimes seen, always there
waiting.

Stephen (Stoic)...

If I could cry a million black 
seas
I would at least drown and 
sink away
From this tree of forbidden 
fruits
Bearing hope but sharing 
pain.
Turning away does not blind 
the mind's eye
Swimming a sea does not 
bleach my black 
heart
So here I stand weeping by 
your door
Even after a hundred 
hatchet blows.
The contempt and hate you 
spare me
Are real extreme yet to live 
alone I fear 
So I would rather drown by 
you
Than take the lonely walk to 
my waiting 
tomb....
