The Pale Horse Waltz In [Part one]
What have you done?" He whispered
As the candlelight kissed his face
'Nothing you wouldn't have done'
As she provoked the worst in him
"Then Hell must be filling up quickly"...
Forged beyond the gates of hell
Those eyes and that gaze cut through everything
Sins covered his skin and scarred hers after life became their fight
He was her favorite devil in disguise
And she was his favorite Angel caressed by the night.
Voodoo lips and words that incited violence, the switchblade knife
hid beneath her eyelids,
she...
As the candlelight kissed his face
'Nothing you wouldn't have done'
As she provoked the worst in him
"Then Hell must be filling up quickly"...
Forged beyond the gates of hell
Those eyes and that gaze cut through everything
Sins covered his skin and scarred hers after life became their fight

And she was his favorite Angel caressed by the night.

Seafoam Dream
Seafoam Dream
Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on
The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine
Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on
The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine

Rolls A Punch
The fucker
with the cute willy
and an eye
for the back door;
dropped the
morse code
gently
on my hard drive
I read the tablet
carved in half hearted
language
Calling heaven to the crypto
and puked!
Pulled wires
Looked accross the bar
winked
Left
Went to bed
I'm to old for this!
Some nights
I take the puch
and cusion the mornings
with the cute willy
and an eye
for the back door;
dropped the
morse code
gently
on my hard drive
I read the tablet

language
Calling heaven to the crypto
and puked!
Pulled wires
Looked accross the bar

Blessings of purification
Winter gave her breath
to sapphired dusk
I awoke
in
our last conversation
Your voice beckons
like a gesturing
hand
She spheres
towards me
Old crone moon
wearing a
silver gown
I remember
peeling apples
my sister
and I
throwing
these over
our shoulder
Trying to decipher
initials of lovers
"I see a C, a J "
We burn notes
and watch the soot
crumble
When eclipsed
we face night
spinning flakes
...

Locked Up
In the center of the dark room
that is my mind
sits a box with four walls:
the glass, see-through kind.
And inside of that box,
wearing head-to-toe black,
stands Creative Ideation
in his painted-on mask.
He pounds and protests,
“I have committed no crimes,”
but outside looking in,
he is only a mime.
Across from him, in a chair
sits Old Man Doubt.
His hand holds the key,
but his arms are too stout.
Every day he reaches
for the lock on that door,
but every day, Old Man Doubt ...

The Sinful King
I use to feel death would set me free
But there's nothing about death that's free
Even in hell they capitalize on it,
Charon the uber driver has a fee
Luckily for me I always have my two cents...
I'm alone in this hell I'm in
Trapped
beneath the heavy words
And your flat emotion again
Stolen,
your Grace is from the Angels it seems
And I the
Fiend,
As always I with the charisma of a king
A God may have his enemies
but even so
He cannot find the strength
to help you out...
But somberly I sit...

Memories
So many wasted days when we piss and moan
Yet all the while
Our time is just on loan
You've got to love and laugh
If you want to be free
Because anger and depression are a cage to which we hold the key
We are just floating through life
Gradually growing old
When we pass away
How will our story be told
So spread a little love
Show me a smile
Because we all get down every once and awhile
Life is worth living
We decide what actions we take
Life becomes memories
So make them good for your own sake
Yet all the while
Our time is just on loan
You've got to love and laugh
If you want to be free
Because anger and depression are a cage to which we hold the key
We are just floating through life
Gradually growing old
When we pass away
How will our story be told
So spread a little love
Show me a smile
Because we all get down every once and awhile
Life is worth living
We decide what actions we take
Life becomes memories
So make them good for your own sake

DIY
I would like to return
with the Owner's Manual
in my next life
so I can actually enjoy it
instead of spending 49 years
give or take 9 months
struggling to assemble this product
without the instruction pamphlet

Tree Huggers - - A Scottish Sonnet
Ok! What now! were gonna save the planet
Chatting with trees and a fuckin gannet
Climate change is horse shit theory, junk science
(Poorr) cuts, put it (doon), that modern appliance
Save the whale, the panda and the tiger
Please (dinnae) let those climbers climb the Eiger
Fuckin hippies and their fucked floral scheme
As the cash rolls in, in their pants, they cream
What is the solution to pollution
Can't seek contribution absolution
It's fuckin clear, the trend should be well bucked
If we don't love each other (wur) (awwe)...

So I got this bad infection in my big toe,
it happens with diabetics
their blood is sweet, and
bacteria love it.
Plus the flesh is weak,
and when you walk on your toe,
the weak flesh just crumbles.
That is all well and good
so my purple toe had a couple of options,
go the emergency room and have it amputated,
or stay home and get rid of my high blood shuga.
Well I didn't know what my readings were so it
had been some year or so since I actually poked my
finger and I couldn't find my meter, so I went to ...
