The Book of Choronzon
The spinning lights spun slow in the slow motion night.
Rendering the figures of authority as vestiges of spirit.
Slack jawed, confused, conceptions of reality diffused.
Thinking about their families, emotions perfused.
Slow motion freeze in the deep dark night.
Chasing shadows in callow shadows.
Vaporous breath left like death.
Lost childhood that left.
The cleft of the cliff.
Break of the wake.
* * *
This is what you must understand.
As the young man placed the candles...
Rendering the figures of authority as vestiges of spirit.
Slack jawed, confused, conceptions of reality diffused.
Thinking about their families, emotions perfused.
Slow motion freeze in the deep dark night.
Chasing shadows in callow shadows.
Vaporous breath left like death.
Lost childhood that left.
The cleft of the cliff.
Break of the wake.
* * *
This is what you must understand.
As the young man placed the candles...

Nightmare: The Purge
If the purge came
alive into the real world
It would be our worst
nightmares come true
I've been to hell and
back and would
participate so it's
kill or be killed
The Loner of your
family must die
because he causes
nothing but pain
That's the only person
I would kill
The rest you
leave up to fate
alive into the real world
It would be our worst
nightmares come true
I've been to hell and
back and would
participate so it's
kill or be killed
The Loner of your
family must die
because he causes
nothing but pain
That's the only person
I would kill
The rest you
leave up to fate

ROPE BURN
I wish I knew you better
I know what I know
I'd write this differently
Sitting across from you
Drinking pepper flavored vodka
A lot of sting going down
Not as much as last night's carnage
We dance around a lot
Flirt
Drink coffee sometimes
We talk bdsm
DeConstruction
Other stuff
I'd love to see a rope burn
Stripes, ribbons, flogged flesh
Yours babe
Not just a PDF file

Painful souvenirs
The priest loved Jimmy
Such a handsome choir boy
Yes, he loved him dearly.
Years later
Jimmy was a young man
Serving his country.
The priest, now a bishop
Had the honor of
Reviewing the troops
Stepping in front of a
Young man he recognized
He stopped, gave him a smile
And a wink.
He later enjoyed
His usual lavish supper
As was his wont
And while he digested with
A Grand Marnier
Others found Jimmy dead
Hanging from a crossbeam
In the drill hall.
Such a handsome choir boy
Yes, he loved him dearly.

Costly Disdain
You glisten bronze in the morning sun
gliding across the sand.
My pale body, barely awake, would startle anyone.
I smile through my drunken fog and say,
“Listen in the distance, a lone gull cries.”
You look back on me surprised – perturbed.
Now I have your eyes!
“We always hear the gulls cry on this beach,
but don’t always have to step around drunks,”
and your eyes turn quickly away.
I stare after as your form grows smaller in the distance.
I memorize the lovely shape of your silhouette against the blue sky. ...
