An American Romance

A new original poem, written on 8-19-13. There is a great back-story to this, inquire if you are interested-enjoy!!

An American Romance

What brought you here-
Mandarin-clad and manacled?
What tempest tossed your dreams
Like exhumed Earth on an open tomb?
Did you not gaze past the crowded bay
And see azurean eternity?
Why did your beam linger upon me
-Fervent, Unbroken-
And not stay with sinewy freedom?

Still, I could have taken your hand-
Saved you from the vacillating lover,
Laid you beneath lavender trees
Instead of tomes of law,
Should I have kissed your lips
Before he,
Sauntered, Should I have been around,
I know-love, you must believe-
That my caress, a balm and sweet reprieve,
Could have saved thee.

Wait, pray, wait for me in the doldrums;
Carve my name in symbols and strain to see
A lover who waits for you endlessly.

Atlas-a new poem

A new, original poem that I just wrote. Thanks for reading!

Atlas,
But I do not shrug,
The strain burrows lash-deep-
Kinetic in crisis,
Yolked to a muted destiny-
Deaf to its designs;
I carry not the weight of anything,
Save lead thoughts-
Struggle not for the sins of anyone,
Save plaintive 
Nightingale-She's-
Silently mouthing dead words,
Stockholm; befriending the bony-cage
Casing my craggy heart.
I hear nothing as the world envelopes-
Splintered joints collapsing;
Spartan soul laid sepulcher bare.

Ages pass and hyacinth bones bleed to
Terra-firma-
Bare to the soles that endlessly stride over me,
I am watchful NOTHING to their promenades-
Persephone, bound by blind Gods,
But, I will no longer squirm and aerate for their pleasure,
Stoic in mindful suffering, I wait...
