Rising Saviour
Hair strains woven from ashes.
Red dawn guiding her eyes.
Lips made of wounds and scratches,
and teeth akin to spikes.
Bile and molten earth flowing -
right beneath her snow-white nape.
Pose of beast, but couture showing -
body bearing a child's shape.
The skin parched, hardened leather.
Lacking both in hoofs and horns.
Call her savior of the devil.
Give her - the crown of thorns.
Blinded by rage that's lawless.
At once both sane and mad.
Rising from deepest darkness -
Ready to wrestle god.
Red dawn guiding her eyes.
Lips made of wounds and scratches,
and teeth akin to spikes.
Bile and molten earth flowing -
right beneath her snow-white nape.
Pose of beast, but couture showing -
body bearing a child's shape.
The skin parched, hardened leather.
Lacking both in hoofs and horns.
Call her savior of the devil.
Give her - the crown of thorns.
Blinded by rage that's lawless.
At once both sane and mad.
Rising from deepest darkness -
Ready to wrestle god.

dream memory
How I like when this time comes
To take a break and make the sums,
Plan the writing choose the theme
To best express my daily dream,
The scene is fresh from previous night
with the memory still clear and tight,
which will help me to portray
and paint my verse in such a way,
aimed to make you smile a bit
for your soul’s true benefit.

My princess
Mossy blankets of
Dreamy imagery
Envelops my
Saturated synapses
Blissed and blossoming
Consciousness
Radiates and overflows
With rapture and passion
Enchanted with the
Princess of my world
Immaculate realization
When our eyes locked
My heart shocked into existence
Forever in debt to your grace
And love

Decorticated Burial of Delirium
I awaken upon an obsidian pathway chambered within a delirious trance
The ash of solitary paralysis grew amongst cerebral aberration, as my mind fixated its descend
Cold structures preserved an echolocation of disillusioning sanity, psychosis travel reaches my lands of desolate demise-
I hear the wings of escapism
As the wings lift me admits a ruinous fog a pale envisioning harps my drifting enclosure in forgotten winds, for now I dwell lull amongst the insensate soil
I discern the blood ever-letting from my body, yearning upon the...

when nocturnality awakens
There is darkness in hope
these nihilistic butterflies
crawling out beyond confessions
an inkblot hides
within my throat
spewing through
my senses
There is hope in darkness
cluttered night moth wings
flapping
a sense of being
when freed
from the light
you lash
at the shape
of sun
fallen
these nihilistic butterflies
crawling out beyond confessions
an inkblot hides
within my throat
spewing through
my senses
There is hope in darkness
cluttered night moth wings
flapping
a sense of being
when freed
from the light
you lash
at the shape
of sun
fallen

Darkness Prevails
Want to write love
Dark clouds on the horizon
Want to write erotic
Dark desires tie and bind
Want to write observation
Moodiness and clouds comfort
Dark is the only arena left
Bathing in your black aura
That's the love ...

WHERE STARS ARE BORN
I’M FROM A PLACE WHERE
WE ROCK OUR SWORDS IN OUR BACKS
LIKE MEDALLIONS
WEARING EVERY PAIN WE FEEL
AS SOME SACRIFICE WE’RE MAKING
CARRYING AROUND BURDENS
LIKE SWEET MEMORIES
CROWDING UP OUR SPACES
OUR FONDEST MEMORIES FILLED WITH FEAR AND REGRET
MISSING OUR MOTHERS
I’M FROM A PLACE WHERE
LOVE IS SOMETHING TO BE WEARY OF
RATHER THAN KEEP YOU COMFY
KEEP YOU WARM AND CUDDLY
THAT’S NOT IDEAL FOR US
LOVE
KILLING YOU SLOWLY
BREAKING YOUR HEART DOWN
PEELING BACK LAYERS LIKE CLOTHING
LEAVING YOU NAKED ...

a cluster of words
Slowly these thoughts accumulate
their burden on my mind is great
forcing me to resort to sleep
reforming all my love to hate
I wake and I am drenched in sweat
staring at my lonesome silhouette
is that my future glancing at me
drowned in salty waters, wet
these words orbit inside my head
what once flourished, now is dead
constellations of man-made regrets
of the twisted, tangled words I said
but what’s in my mind should not get out
or in every other mind they’ll sprout
their burden on my mind is great
forcing me to resort to sleep
reforming all my love to hate
I wake and I am drenched in sweat
staring at my lonesome silhouette
is that my future glancing at me
drowned in salty waters, wet
these words orbit inside my head
what once flourished, now is dead
constellations of man-made regrets

ARE YOU STILL ONLY ONE OF THE SLEEPING (10/1989, Southern California)
momentarily contained
here in this landscape
of hair and skin
i feed the sky
with my persistent breath
the earth with my life
as the sky
breathes freely back
into my body and being
a much deeper song
of completion
wherein each moment
is a new dawn
here within
this open circle
of being i am
as consciousness
molds on
some instinct
is listening forever
with patience
beyond the sun
of its sum
for i am a desert waiting
for something more
than sand alone
can ever explain...

The Distance
The miles between
Your face unseen
Your touch not felt
The hand we’re dealt
Forbidden dream
The space between
Your heart and mine
Can’t cross the line
Out of touch
We want too much
Cruel trick of time
A mountain to climb
A love so strong
Can’t be wrong
Even with the distance
Your face unseen
Your touch not felt
The hand we’re dealt
Forbidden dream
The space between
Your heart and mine
Can’t cross the line
Out of touch
We want too much
Cruel trick of time
A mountain to climb
A love so strong
Can’t be wrong
Even with the distance
