a melody captures
recognition
a reflection
a moment
left in a dark glass

days have drifted
dust envelops and veils
the diary of my mind

conceals whole chapters
characters
events

memories muddied
fragments of tableaus
as broken colours
from fractured crystal

but somehow, I remember
those nights being a little brighter
days more blithe
and friendships more blest

where have they gone
those I have known

and forgotten

She took a deep breath,
She counted to three
A picture in her head,
Of who they wanted me to be.

They wanted me to be normal,
Happy and kind.
They never thought,
That this girl would be blind.

Not blind by the meaning,
But blind in the heart.
Blinded by darkness,
Blinded by dark.

She walks around lifeless,
Her heart beating but dead.
A walking corpse
she is lost inside her head.

lOCK IN
your world away
I will vanish
and even if
you pick the
lock and drag
me out

I will be
within

The chrome
in the heat
the vinyl seats

the ashtray
open like a
mouth
the lipstick
like rose
kisses
on the cork
livid
and no where
the xx's

How I lived
beside the brew
of your soul
iradiated
with a healthy scale

hearing !

well in my time twas

HIS MASTERS CHOICE

Who is the master I asked
none would tell me

I didn't bother
as i could hear
from London to Paris

now I ask the next door guy
what did i say

so to stay deaf
now I pray
why bray
as we all here are gay
sorry gray!
now have
Your say.....
Iam deaf anyway

Nursing a dark coffee
chasing the sugar with a spoon
around and around
in the whirlpool
a soft hue

Let me tell you the
cornflakes didnt
settle
and this walk
was harried
and rushed

But here I sit
with all the other
strangers
and this Sunday
stillness
us earlier risers
driven restless
our fidgeting fingers
chewed red
and shaving raw
bumps from
jittery nerves

which gate doth now
circumnavigate the heavens
your beauty is its undoin'
from the moment I looked at you
these gates your beauty has torn down
my eye's have beheld the gate's ruin

Steven Zoric

I found my true love thru the darkness of my life her touch her kiss was the reason to for fill the love that was right
With opening of a single eye a walk to love a life to subscribe.
To lose her is beyond any fight because when she holds me she gives me the love that expands my life.
To lose him would be my question why when i love him till the day I die.

Your volcanic breath scorches me,
Blows away my peace with its strength,
Your look, a river of fire,
Burning away my resolve…

And I am the white crow
Tethered to your monolith,
Spiraling high in isolation
On angry, fiery winds.

Your patience rumbles,
ruptures,
erupting in flame,
maiming me;
Wings scorched, turning black
Covered with the soot
Of misunderstanding.

The unsteady ground trembles,
This pillar falls and crumbles,
Dragging me down
Into my chosen hell.

I put all ideas and treasures unto thee
special siver coins
photographs of precious muses\
stubs from special events
a condom just in case
a set of ideals and some
broken bent principles
a twig from a walk
Ive forgotten

I see its cedar

a stone from the tracik
in the fall
and a letter printed from
an old lover
It is very short

my life is at its end
my cigarette box
is impety

of impetus

I have nothing more

i am empty

i have become a nothing
man
