Cousin Frederick
Cousin Frederick
Cousin Frederick passed on a warm, sunny day.
Family and friends paid respects,
some from far away.
The casket was open.
I thought it obscene.
Cousin Frederick lay as if sleeping. Peaceful. Serene.
From my pew in the back I watched people walk by.
Some unfamiliar to me despite how hard I would try.
How strange, always faces that you do not know
at funerals, at weddings, they always seem to show.
Everyone spoke low as they shuffled about.
Some cried. Some consoled. Then suddenly came a...

Imaginary Friend
Imaginary Friend
Kenny liked playing with imaginary friend.
They always had so much fun though it was all just pretend.
All the things they would do!
The places that they would go!
It was all real for Kenny.
Imaginary friend made it so.
One day they were pirates out on the sea.
Another, soldiers setting prisoners free.
Once superheroes defeating villains,
an evil wizard and king.
Kenny and imaginary friend could do anything!
Kenny once asked imaginary friend what he wanted to do.
Imaginary friend...

Apathetic Paranoid
Paranoia has become apathy.
Is this the shadow people
Come to get me?
Do they know? Are they aware?
I just...
Don’t...
Care…
Swerving the lane
Across the membrane
In
The
Fight
Or
Flight
Of the brain
Turned into a machine
Of
Madness
Bold
&
Cold

The Shootout
Within our 40th page
Let's do something great
First and foremost let's
Get ourselves in shape
Then go to a junior college
And shoot ball on campus
Outside in there courtyard
Yes my Nigga's all of us
And do what the coaches
Teach is and what they say
But every game average
60 points on each of that way
Shootout so damn good
That people put all of us
In the where are they now
Category with no picture fuss
Thirty-five steals, 80 assist parlay
Still paying the bills for real of da day...

Shirith'nar's Pleasure
- Shirith'nar's Pleasure -
Pale blue as like an azure jewel, her flesh enhanced with cybernetics...
Eyes glowing with the light from electric vibrancy, with a lust for life!
Unlike those who had created the form she wore like some do raiment,
She was a freer spirit, with inclinations far beyond the mind to ponder.
The product of cloning and mechanical engineering, a perfect creation,
Eve was never so fair, nor so imaginative and sometimes so very sick...
With passion's fever, stirring her on, to use her wiles in cause of strife.
Hedonistic in her...

... In the grand scheme of things,
we are but a moment....
make haste,
dear soul—

Garden
Garden
When troubles come to me
When cloudy skies wash over sea
I run to my beautiful garden
When the world seems too much
And my heart in chaos' clutch
I find peace in my beautiful garden
When burdens are too heavy a load
My dreary soul no longer aglow
I escape to my beautiful garden
Tranquility for these weary bones
Never a feeling of being alone
I love my beautiful garden
Here butterflies and bumblebees roam
Here hummingbirds and hollyhocks call home
It is my beautiful garden
...

As They Wilt
silence in fugue
for far better ovations
mourn the dying sun
a blessing well vested
into nothingness
turns the muted veils
as nature takes hold
in duress
a lesson in futility
unfolds
for far better ovations
mourn the dying sun
a blessing well vested
into nothingness
turns the muted veils
as nature takes hold
in duress
a lesson in futility

I
Minimal
My ripple effect
Is minimal
A calm pool of still water
Inside raging rapids
Whirlpools
Stormy seas

A calm pool of still water
Inside raging rapids
Whirlpools
