Rehabilitation


Of past lives gone
To wish them away
Awakening to a better day
A cleansing of hate
And anger and crime
The new life is born
Migration of time

Dark Essence


Darkness whispers
To a sullen state
Pulling a vision from within
Forcing more silence
Beating a reticent
drum
Thoughtful confinement
Responding in kind
Beyond the door lies
A creative mind

Closer to Her


To control destiny
And find a place
He looks her over
Sleeping grace
He imagines Heaven
A breeze through a willow
To long for reincarnation
He would be her pillow

Colorless


To lofting winds and shallow puddles
Winding through time and substance
A man softly hovers
Unaware of the winter chill
Against himself he huddles
The seasons blend and fall in line
The animals forage for life
As coldness whips the air
Thoughts of long past lovers
And darkness falls upon the land
It has only just started
Before the clearing snowfall passes
And colors have departed
A settling calm weaves upon us
We awaken to a new warmth
Having made it to yet another day.

Encounters Past


To see the years slip ever faster
Once upon a time
And as I had now wandered past her
Scent awakening my mind
To once a beautiful encounter
Moves by without a glimpse
And leaves me silent staring lonely
Shift in time with just a hint
Of what it was
And what it isn't
And what it shall not
Be again

Endeavor Defeated


Of elusive pursuits
That often slip away
Chasing after them
So much to say
Freedom escapes
Upon each open door
Enemies focus
And dreams are no more

Found Love


A lonely alley awaits
The struggling thoughts
She wonders as she seeks
A path to reach her calm
Quiet in her peacefulness
Dreaming
A new love will come
One with tenderness
For her to submit
And finally allow herself
To be the fruit
Of his conquer

Talisman


For all I have accomplished
And all of which I've failed
To end up where I am today
From where I have been
I question of where I was put
Could it have been
This rabbit's foot?

Falling Up


From where I have been
To where I aspire
And where I am now
I will not retire
To reach my unlimited
Goals of my ascent
Where only the top
Could end any descent

Into The Light


To a place that knows me well
We meet among the pines
Where once my weary body dwell
Behind the structured lines
We settle down upon the log
And dream of anguished times
A quiet man; a lonely dog
A sharing of the rhymes
Envisioning the darkness
Of cloudy memories past
Rejoice together peace at last
And exit from the fog

All Along


For as long as time
Has my world been cursed
Searching for the one
To quench my thirst
In the alleys beyond
And pastures before me
Through spaces I have gone
Unable to see
When all along present
I failed to envision
What has come to me last
Was where I was brought
Upon first.

One Chance


How I have fallen
With just one glance
Our eyes meet softly
The spark ignites
We venture madly
To seal our night
Cornered by circumstance
Devoid of light
In silence I revel
Given just one chance
To live the love
Of this perfect romance

Blue Darkness


Through tears of painful burning
A fog of pepper mists
Swirling in the hot night
Among cries of helplessness
Blurred vision not returning
To see the blue through darkness
And quenching thirsty yearnings
I learn to love the taste
Of what was once a weapon
Whose anger now erased
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Escape


Again I find myself among the mire
Deep within the jungle as darkness settles
Dampness thick in the air
A lone man pedals
Alarms sound wildly as I go
Stench of garbage flows
Dim lights glare
Shadows long and ominous
But for nothing there
And grueling hatred follows
A man who flees his past
He slithers through a puddle
Strewn with broken glass
Focused on his ends
Hoping on all hope
To find the final glory
Untie his binding rope
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

But...


Pushed aside unconsidered
Kept in silence alone
But for a word given
And not allow me to speak
I sit in quiet solitude
Beaten down and weak
For all I have to offer
Disregarded for others driven
I wait my turn in earnest
Beneath this box I live in

Visions


Pressing past my past
Envisioning what's to come
To feel the new beauty
And hope for it to last
I see so many futures
Yet I am troubled by the pain
That comes from simple living
In efforts yet to gain
But beyond the many failures
Come peace from up above
And save us from our hateful lives
With small tokens of love

Dictionarily Challenged


I wander alone among the unknown
Seeking the meaning of what is not shown
Have I stumbled upon something anew
Known by only a few unable to view
Shall I summon a source literary dark horse
Found purely by force on a twisted course
Refer to the guide as I take this short ride
Reveal this new side attempting to hide
Needing this release I call the police
Search for my peace hoping to cease
Open the book to have a good look
Wondering aloud
Copse?
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Word Justice


Enter a world where
Nothing is known
And words thrown out
meaningless
For simplest of things
Are best to describe
Actions shown
Leaving no doubt
Not forced confusion
Or subtle black ops
Don't make me have to
Call the copse

Impending Freedom


Waves of peace roll over
The end of pain in sight
An entrance to a new world
Freedom from this fight
A sea of life before me
An ocean of hate behind
At tunnels end I see my light
I've searched but now I find

Destiny


To see what is ours
But not to reach
To hold fast the dreams
We struggle with fate
And hope it is kind
Our youth we will teach
Their peace we should find
Erase all the hate
Through the windows
Of the mind.

Carefully he wonders
Her fragrance abounds
Knowing her presence
Feeling her sounds
Reaching within
Emerging with passion
Gives love to his sweetness
In tenderly fashion

The Devil Within


It drives my thoughts
And moves my soul
Tells me things
I should not know
Takes the things
That bring me peace
Allows the beast
To be released
Alas this freedom
Living alone
Expose its face
Inner voice shown

Misplaced Words


He stumbles as he reaches
For words to speak for him
Memory dim
Of what the past teaches
Darkly grim
Wishing to awaken
He can now rejoice
But quickly retaken
By his inner voice

Thoughts...


To the shelters I prowl
Watching them toil
Pushing their needs
Planting their seeds
But to wonder aloud
As I set to recoil
I have to imagine
What are they thinking

Personal Space


She was new to my world
A virtual stranger
She knew not the extent
Of her impending danger

Lost Boy


As a wisp of warm air
He slips past the gate
His deepest secrets
Locked inside innate
To share with himself
His wondrous dreams
Where under a bridge
His life always beams
For there he will go
And bring forth his joy
The stranger is now
Long lost as a boy

Brutal Stranger


This weapon for love
Strikes effective
Not selective
Brings her to a new
Objective
He fills her void
But travels softly
Reflective
Of past loves
In the range her
Memories once of
This brutal stranger
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Unfamiliar


In slumber it seems
I am living in dreams
The walls unfamiliar
The people obscene
But awaken to hope
Of the home that I know
A place of kindness and love
Where beauty can grow
But fate takes my arm
And pulls me to danger
The more it does harm
The more is the stranger

The Stranger Awaits


On the block he is marched
In the cover of night
To the holding quarters
Under the light
He feels the rage of his porters
Prepared for the fight
And the stranger who waits
To instill his fright

Infinite Lock Down


Into the sun a man stares
Focused on the horizon
Waiting
He dreams of the places
To begin his arising
Futile chases
Cold faces
Another locked door
Freedom nevermore

Betrayal


Carving out a path to freedom
To have it denied
Friends who seek to save me
Leave me behind
I fight to understand
Where loyalties lie
Why so many should have to die
But I see in reflections
Returning in their eyes
Sending back my pain
I am but blue rain

Colorless


How blue is the rain I cannot see
I ask as the walls keep it from me
Colors exist on other levels
Where I am not allowed to witness
Only steel and concrete
And wooden tables
Where I am to confess
I see black and white
And continue with life

Inherent Pain


The thunder of boots in a darkened hall
Sounds of screams through a cement wall
Thoughts of no one hearing a call
Knowing again my defenses will fall
But through this fight I have only you
In my thoughts as all I can do
To shutter the sounds of inherent pain
I close my eyes to keep myself sane
Through roaring downpours of my blue rain
Crashing the ground in my throbbing brain

Before Assimilation


Complexities define me
For none know my next move
I need what soon I will see
Until then I leave no clue
Will she stand beside me
Or cross a busy street
Her scent evokes a wildness
For which I must compete
For will I take her briskly
Or move upon the next
Each time it becomes risky
Or now I could reject
To go upon resistance
Walk away in simulation
Let her feel safe
Before assimilation
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

We Are But One


Through the gates we are led
Our souls now dead
For here we suffer conformity
Through brutality
Injustice and destiny
With decimation
Comes Revelation
And ultimate assimilation

Fires of the Tormented Soul


Don't look in my eyes
As I hold you still
Ignore the fires
That burn at will
Remove the gifts
You have for me
And slip the lists
You would foresee
As best you know
You've never seen
An average Joe
You've been wiped clean
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Scars of Injustice


Gently I move where I can see
A clearer view of my eternity
Windy gusts across a plain
Delicate flowers that ease my pain
Upon mountains I climb above
To shower below my intentions of love
And softly I endeavor to caress
The cheek of humanity to fully undress
A nature of life that goes within this
To smooth away deep scars of injustice
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Undone


Times dictate reactions
I see her there
Can't help but stare
Building internal factions
Drive me to her
But she sees her focus
I move with care
And realize my motive
While she moves unaware
That I am where
My instinct has control
My actions are not my own
I struggle to care
But chill to the bone
Enter the home
Blind from the stone
Put her to rest
As only I can do best
But gaze in the mirror
And snap to my test
Envision my horror
Reached my final quest
For this I must run
Immune from the rest
Again I digress
This can't be undone
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Evolution of Freedom


Silence the only sound I hear
From beyond the razor wire
My loneliness becomes so dire
Love becomes so dear
And hidden things now near
Soon they will appear
In shadows of darkened halls
While peering through the walls
No longer will I fear
To what this has evolved

The Price I Must Pay


Frost upon the grass
Gazing from my hole
Seeking comfort
But knowing not my role
Of purpose or of sorts

Comes deep within my soul
Not unlike the courts
Where others come to rhyme
And life will take my time
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Intrusions


Lost in a storm of powerful words
Tossed from walls to visions
Captivated by the heards
And touched by their incisions
Behind these sounds I can endure
A lifetime of conclusion
Of this I surely can be sure
By deep and dark intrusions

Beyond the Wall


Beyond the wall lay years of loss
Unreturnable forever
And at what steep and deadly cost
For what has been endeavored
But soon I will break down this pain
And venture back to freedom
For all of those who have been slain
For those who would believe them
A creeky gate with rusty keys
An escort to the entrance
And withered souls so worn as these
No vision of repentance
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Reflections


I see myself through shattered lenses
Shards upon my past
Sitting among lavish denziens
Hoping it won't last
Men have taken to abuse
My kind and gentle nature
I choke them but they still refuse
Poetic nomanclature
But as I struggle to escape
These chains of mans injustice
I form a state they can relate
From all of their destruction
I look within to see my soul
Reflections of my face
And sit here in my quiet hole
My sins I will erase
© LUTHER SPELLS

Forever...


Bitches fight for love
On bruthas who don't give it up
They put themself through hell
Then need help from above
But the boyz they crave are hollow
Beaten shells of selfishness
Locked in cells of misogyny
Forever they will wallow
But soon will come salvation
A bright and loving star
A man to answer all their dreams
With depths of warmth afar
Into their lives he will return
To give them pangs of pleasure
And slowly beating drums of passion
Forever they will treasure
This man will take their darkest sorrow
And turn it into beauty
Their souls from which his hand will borrow
A saga to end with fury
For his love will be encircling peace
Wrought with pain and struggle
But in the end the pain will ease
Eternal sleep to snuggle.

For Soon I Shall Come


My appeal is in tact
Soon will be fact
To you I will find
To return your kind
And stuff into place
My eternal disgrace
To warm your dark soul
And fill your vast hole
A warning to some
For soon I shall come

Curvature Of The Sublime


I sit alone surrounded
By four walls grounded
My boys pounded
Alarms sounded
Soul hounded
For I imagine my escape
Steel and tape
Backroom rape
Windows agape
I slip into the night
Eluding the fight
Knowing what is right
Briskly in flight
Holding tight
I slip away
Nothing to say
I cannot stay
But society will pay
For this is the way
The plan I lay
And death to demons at the light of day

To Stand Trial


It went unnoticed my abilities to reason
Competency is now cause
To regress for their treason
But with retrials come victory
And valor defeat
Of misgiven convictions
And disgraceful retreat
For soon I will conquer
The justless system
And crush all of those
Who forced my conviction

Cleansing Souls


He questions of my words of peace
How I had done my deeds
If I did clean of where I'd been
Or where I sowed my seeds
I say to them I cleared my paths
But doubt rings in their words
Of painful shadows clearly cast
Where screams are never heard.

Furiousity


There lies within my mighty soul
A path to rich defiance
Where men who recreate my role
Yet struggle for comliance
I sit here waging battles fierce
Armed with tools of honor
My armor they shall never pierce
I lay my love upon her
With waves of curiosity
She fights to gain her freedom
But with my furiosity
I force my way between them
She lay silent gazing up
I gently close her eyes
She sleeps now in eternal love
As I'm plagued with racist lies.

Forces of Hatred


Racist endeavors to keep me down
Got no purpose; got no ground
Words of hate
Still emmanate
Fill the air with rage
Defy me to regenerate
I cannot turn the page
Clearly seen within their words
Agendas filled with hatred
Flying free among the birds
Stoned to the ground deflated
Devils seek to kill my soul
Rip it from my being
Among the things that they have stole
Of what I am not seeing
But I digress these racist pigs
Shall not demote my choices
I counter their most evil tricks
And shall defeat their forces
