Hello, these are six of my poems, which form a small collection, called Second Circle Romance. If anyone has time, I would love feedback. Hope all is well. - Jason 1) Heavenly Hypocrisy To deny someone love is a cruel torture But in a selfish quest for eternal paradise Fragile souls have to keep their morals straight To avoid the wrath of a loving god So with heavenly hypocrisy They carve hearts out of chests And leave them to decay On the beaches of mortal sin Beaches where the sand is stained red And crimson colored waves gently kiss the shore Where vultures pick at the remains of shattered romance And the sour fragrance of broken dreams pollutes the air Far away- From shattered romance and broken dreams Fragile souls bathe in heaven’s radiance Where they drink fine wine, and dance the night away Far away- From the pain and suffering caused by discrimination Fragile souls listen to a holy man As he makes a toast, to equality 2) Venomous Counterfeit Angels Daily homicide led to my broken heart suicide Tortured nights, but no one could see how I felt inside With my intestines wrapped around your heart, I just couldn't digest your loss So like a broken dream- I began to fade away Cause you told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back You told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back I've loved counterfeit angels And had my intestines replaced with rattlesnakes Painful slithering memories keep me trapped, in your poison embrace Cause you told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back You told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back When you cast me out of your heart You created all the venomous demons I can't exorcise 3) Jade Green Eyes A carnal pilgrimage To the kingdom of pleasure Where morals disappear Beneath vanity and lust Jade green eyes And serpent like thighs Pulling me in- Deeper and deeper Pulling me down- Into the flames Angels cry in sorrow- As our souls descend to the second circle Among demons and lost souls I taste your cherry red lips And we make love Angels shed tears- For those lost to sins of the flesh Angels shed tears- For those condemned, for crawling from bed to bed For slithering from lover to lover Angels wept- But in the fiery passion of your kiss We've burned those Sunday Words And spread the ashes along the path Of immoral romance 4) Shedding Skin Her jade green eyes are focused Like a coiled rattlesnake Ready to strike its prey Her cherry red lips are hungry Like an ancient vampire Who's slept for centuries And awakes to hunt once more Her forked purple tongue Is strangely sweet and seductive Flickering in and out, with malevolence But I don't care Although each venomous kiss Brings me closer to the reaper And each sinful embrace Brings my soul closer to hell I don't care Because being with her Is like shedding skin Reincarnated by lust And born again Outside of heaven's gates Our souls are carelessly discarded Like broken wedding vows Our hearts tossed aside to decay Like morals when they're inconvenient 5) No Shame (In a Devil's Kiss) I'd rather sleep with devils In seductive red lingerie Then live by their standards Conform and obey I'd rather taste luscious apples From the tree of desire Then live my life fearful Of brimstone and fire Cause darling your legs open And heaven's gates close I'd rather feel carnal pleasures And be labeled defiant Then let my soul wither Forever longing, but silent Cause darling your legs open And heaven's gates close As I stand before heaven's judgment You can carve my heart out But paradise is not lost to me Because what's wrong with passion and ecstasy - Between consenting adults? 6) Kisses Indicate I can leave the place where time stops Just outside of the second circle I can leave the place where time stops Heavenly paradise vanishes Censored screams whispered They're spectacular with the vernacular of confusion Kisses indicate the illusion There's correlations between your lacerations Watch the sunrise And fall asleep in loving arms Cherry kisses at sunset And wake me from my dreams Censored screams whispered They're spectacular with the vernacular of confusion Kisses indicate the illusion There's correlations between your lacerations And they all point towards a beautiful bride In a gorgeous wedding dress Whose hands are stained crimson Because she holds the beating heart Of a fallen angel
Thirteen Tigers Thanks for the insight, I hadn't thought of that, but you're right, it could work as a chorus. This next one is called Thirteen Tigers. Walk up to the gate in the ancient wilderness Seven cobras guard the sacred waterfall Cross the wooden bridge to the mystic portal Thirteen tigers guard the passage between realms Step through the sands of time, to another life See the threads of destiny, which connect your life See the threads of fate, which connect us all See how love can rise like the phoenix From the ashes of violence and war Journey through a kingdom of hypocrisy Past the aristocracy, and the corrupt elegance Past the theocracy, and the soothing eloquence Arrive in a town of mysterious lunacy Where no one has a shadow, or reflection Where women dance naked, and cry redemption When the final grain of sand falls from the hourglass The reaper will laugh at your mea culpa And your deathbed epiphany, to finally seize the day For even the reaper cannot stop time From eventually devouring us all Mortality is melting away Like a careless vampire Who gets caught in the sunrise The sorcerer is laughing Cause the sky is falling Memento Mori A new day is calling

Rendezvous Rendezvous We had breakfast in bed And watched the sunrise over the ocean The strawberries, grapes, French toast, and orange juice All tasted like the sweetest ambrosia After breakfast I held you in my arms And we kissed Within the sanctuary of your love I felt complete At noon, we walked barefoot along the beach In the shallow water, where the ocean kisses the shore We talked for hours, and really connected Body, mind, and soul As evening approached We stopped at a deserted part of the beach And made passionate love Your vanilla skin moved smoothly across mine And I gazed into your deep blue eyes I tasted the romance on your lips But failed to notice the ominous clouds on the horizon Exhausted from passion, we eventually collapsed in each other’s arms Still sweaty, and breathing heavily- We looked up at the magnificent display of stars Our naked bodies illuminated by the moonlight As a shooting star danced across the sky I turned, kissed your strawberry lips, and said “I love you” As if my lips tasted of poison, you immediately pulled away And began to weep bitter tears The more I tried to comfort you, the more you pulled away Eventually saying, in between tears That our romantic rendezvous would soon be over I promised to love you forever But you cast me out of your heart Like a fallen angel from heaven Heartbreak began to swallow me like quicksand And I begged you to reconsider Still myself confused from the sudden turn of events You kissed me one last time, and then vanished From the sanctuary of your love, I was banished Left alone to sink in the quicksand of heartbreak And eventually drown in an ocean of loneliness Surrendering to despair I lay my head down, closed my eyes, and began to drift away As my last bit of consciousness faded My alarm clock rang And I awoke in a cold sweat of freezing tears… Most dreams eventually fade But the memory of your deep blue eyes Which were both as gentle and ferocious as the sea Never have
