What I Thought I Wanted
The monolith turned slowly in the fading gloom
The grinding of stone on stone
like the despair of my every need unfulfilled
A jagged arc of neon blue lightning
ripped from a small hole ten feet up it's base
I froze with fear as the gradual rotation paused
A high pitched whistle suddenly accompanied
the crackling electricity and my ears exploded
as I dropped hemorrhaging to my knees
The pillar of rock stopped before me
it's static stream cascading violently down over me
the heat setting my body alight in blue flame
...

PHOBIA
When anthems turn to dust
I will turn in my grave
The staples start to rust
With poison in my veins
My frailty, just like Faust
Spellbound with utter terror
The thing that scares me the most
Is the monster in the mirror
Trapped between when I was something
And the nothing I have become
My phobia becomes reality
Left to devise my own demise
I am an army of just no one
I have compromised immortality
I have dragged myself deep
Lost underneath the waves
The phantoms surely creep
In the fathoms...
I will turn in my grave
The staples start to rust
With poison in my veins
My frailty, just like Faust
Spellbound with utter terror
The thing that scares me the most
Is the monster in the mirror
Trapped between when I was something
And the nothing I have become
My phobia becomes reality
Left to devise my own demise
I am an army of just no one
I have compromised immortality
I have dragged myself deep
Lost underneath the waves
The phantoms surely creep
In the fathoms...

Death in Secret
I slid down the wall
Knife lodged in my chest
Eyes rolled back
One final caress
There is a slight
solace in suffering
I consumed the light
Smile, smile to me
Make it everlasting
Have you set me
utterly forever free?
You say so, though
I see it differently
It feels prison-like
Unable to move
Straighjacketed
Within emotions
Conflicting
.

Sunshine Surprises from the Gods
Nobody really knows and
Nobody really cares
A news cycle lasts maybe
A week or so
And then people no
Longer have any memory
I mean, they’re rapping at
The Louvre
How out of touch can you be?
Well, I guess we’ll have to
Wait for the sales numbers,
Then we’ll see how many
Blind followers there are
Oh, a shitload
Where does inspiration come
From?
Nowhere, it just strikes
Sick fingers around a musical
Instrument
Limited editions in pristine
Condition
You,...

The powers keep themselves in power
And cast the line into the water
Then place the lie upon the shelf
And let the shaman cure himself...
The mental aberration hour
With incense prayer and psychic fire
A union of the altered states
The schizos sit and meditate...
Soulless science will show the way
The theory taught as fact today
A separate world we can't create

ghost
There's a Ghost in my closet
He calls to me at night, his bellows and weeps echo through the walls
He whispers your name taunting me till daylight
I've begged him to leave and stop giving me a fright
but tonight he slips through the locked door and slides under my sheets
I can't tell if he's a real creature of night or just a trick of light, a phantom left lurking to fill the void you left behind gnawing and aching inside my chest
he settles down on your side of the mattress making it his Egyptian cotton grave

Silly As My Dilly Winkler / A Bad Poom For the Dumber Among Us
China climbs the scaffolding, wit
twin Koreas on
aggravating stilts watering the
Kremlin sepulchers
of John Reed and Comrade Lenin
(and Washington's
washways most more than less)
and none has anything to do wit an other
as my chinny chin dribbles spittle (then pisses
great gobs of glee)
on the gloobawl

Monster
I had a heart beating
bloody and fresh in my hand
its warmth fueled me
and i was a glutton for pain
I wanted more than you could withstand
and so I looked to you
your face was frozen in a kind of fear
I never knew i could spawn
your tears came as release
and i squeezed life between my fingers
for power was all i ever wanted
nothing else managed to please
They screamed, "monster!"
and ran away from me
they screamed, "imposter!"
like anything mattered to me
I only laughed

Poet of the Dead
When I close my
eyes
I see you there
so clear each night
Leaning against a
cool convenient
headstone
quill and page in hand
Poeting so stark
in Luna's glow
spilling forth verse
darkness thus impending
Inspired I presume
from every single tomb
secrets thus translated
by those never told
Like undead confessions
from spirits bound ...
bones beneath the ground
calling forth their witness
eyes
I see you there
so clear each night
Leaning against a
cool convenient
headstone
quill and page in hand
Poeting so stark
in Luna's glow
spilling forth verse
darkness thus impending
Inspired I presume
from every single tomb
secrets thus translated
by those never told
Like undead confessions
from spirits bound ...
bones beneath the ground

The Twig
Green leaves writhing,
above the coals;
green leaves cast off
in flashing sparks,
twisting, crying, squirming
defiant fights on,
spitting wounds,twisting
twisting, crying .
Sizzling coals ,glowing,
glowing embers black
black until sap has dried,
flames to rise once more
spring from the heat .
Twisting squirming crying.
Beneath the tree from
whence the twig was taken
I sit, think and feel warmth,
The twig feeling heat...
above the coals;
green leaves cast off
in flashing sparks,
twisting, crying, squirming
defiant fights on,
spitting wounds,twisting
twisting, crying .
Sizzling coals ,glowing,
glowing embers black
black until sap has dried,
flames to rise once more
spring from the heat .
Twisting squirming crying.
Beneath the tree from
whence the twig was taken
I sit, think and feel warmth,
The twig feeling heat...

Poet's Rage
When I Speak And No One Listens By Their Silence Or Admission
My Words Grab Them By The Throat From Where They Are Written
Jumping Off Page Like Fury Of Rage , Not To Assuage But To Engage
Some Coming Of Age , When What I Wrote , Shall Not Be Upstaged
Did I Mention Pay Attention There Shall Be No Dissension No Abstention
No Detention No Contention , No Pretension Of Your Comprehension ,
Demand By Broadband , Awaken With A Back Hand , Bitch Slap Reprimand
Don't Entreat Me You Shall Not Defeat Me Firebrand Of No Man's...
