Hell Upon Outcast
Outcast is in pain
He wants revenge
Tried of Loner's games
Because Loner is a
FUCKING COWARD
Who walks away
from life and family
While Outcast is
Out for Loner's blood
Outcast is going insane
Blood needs to be spilled
For Peace
He wants revenge
Tried of Loner's games
Because Loner is a
FUCKING COWARD
Who walks away
from life and family
While Outcast is
Out for Loner's blood
Outcast is going insane
Blood needs to be spilled
For Peace

WHEN DARKNESS CALLS
FROM PSYCHEDELIC IMAGES THAT PLAY GAMES WITH THE MIND LAYS LAYERS OF DESTINATION, YET UNKNOWN WERE LOGIC HOLDS NO INTEREST BUT YET, IT UNFOLDS THE MERE IMAGINATION AS IT HEIGHTENS OUR SENSES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY WE SHOULD WE GO. For as darkness swirls through unseen intensify emotions rubble through the darkness penetrating through our minds grabbing our soul, yet still fragile undulated by mere energy that we cant even control as the chemistry of mix vibrations hit the disengagements of our emotions that we must let go, as darkness swirls off the walls becoming nothing more than...

Out of the Sacred
Oh see her
And witness
the dying of an Angel
Her face
Torn from it's shadows
Grimacing and angular
Scowling woman's perversions
Like alabaster deity
While whisps of her veil
Singe and rise
Carried off and into
Some cold
and unholy current
And her ashes
They obscure my sun
And they darken the sanctuary
Of my horizon
She passes
And it would not be quick
Then tossing great beauty to the floor

pale kisses (with respect to Louise Gluck)
in this season,
season of decay.
when all the leaves
have fallen,
fallen all away.
cold blue death will
come,
come to pull life away.
love will be forever gone,
gone with the pale kiss
of death to stay.
season of decay.
when all the leaves
have fallen,
fallen all away.
cold blue death will
come,
come to pull life away.
love will be forever gone,
gone with the pale kiss
of death to stay.

Somnambulist
Awake sweet dreamer
Your unrest is at an end
No longer will you hide behind your hazy mist covered sheer
Your sadness has outgrown its sphere
Whilst you have chosen to be mute
The universe has given it a voice you will not/can not silence
Tears of sorrow hidden behind your veil will rain down
To wash away the hurt and sate the thirst of your ruptured soul
Ethereal you appear, so fragile and gossamer
Yet your strength, like the spiders web
Is sorrowfully underestimated by the fly
...

Mouths Sewn Shut
You are my vice, my hate
and envy
My potent organic phenomenon
Worn and lame my soul cries
for division like ions cascading
across the water
Splitting hairs with radioactive
waste, syringes sharing particles
of the sun as they call the moon
toxic
Life vanished, along with that
sorry bird that used to feast
on dragonfly's silence
Nothing left , but a faceless
memory .
Shovel divinity in hungry mouths
hear the gurgle as the sulking cat high
on sedatives sings soft lullabies ...

Is This Prescience
And all the mud brick houses have
Staring eyes,
Blinking in the haze of their mugwort
Billows,
Wafted with some
Religious pomp,
Toward the four
Corners
And the wind heralds a thousand
Clinical
Suicides
An hour,
Rounded up or down,
To a pleasingly
Symmetrical
Number
And the tattered flesh flag
Flails a prescription drug
Infomercial at the
Tidal arm,
Images of families
And foliage
And a pleasantly vapid
Disclaimer of
Collateral ...

Someone Thinks it's No Big Deal....
So you think this is a non event?
Yeah, he says, in an emergency
what's the leading advice?
...that's right, remain calm...
Biological weaponry is not this
70,000 from flu a non-event
and we barely even blink
Yet not not a couple k
have dropped from this monkey
I don't buy what swine flu sellers
have on display this year
They are right whether they really are
while they never can be not
The snake in his insurance tree
on the corner of Garden and Eden
is under his desk while the dentist ...

Holding On To The Buoy
In deep shallows of my cup's rum
Poetically conceived with help of weed
And shadows in my mind's tsunami
Holding on to the buoy
Beating my dark drum
Rum, to numb my insanity
Floating to the bottom of a verses sea
Only to rise with the tides
As the foghorn opens my eyes
Holding on to the buoy
And shadows in my mind's tsunami
Over the far horizons
Poetically conceived with help of weed
And shadows in my mind's tsunami
Holding on to the buoy
Beating my dark drum
Rum, to numb my insanity
Floating to the bottom of a verses sea
Only to rise with the tides
As the foghorn opens my eyes
Holding on to the buoy
And shadows in my mind's tsunami
Over the far horizons

beautiful people
Beautiful people may well know defeat,
And suffering, and struggle, and sheer loss,
But they will find their way out of the depths.
These people can appreciate and beat
An understanding of life, that may toss
Compassion in with tears which, yes, once slept.
As does a gentle, deep loving, replete
With sensitivity; concerns at cost
Are put in place: impossibly bereft.
The idea of a humane world may seat
The warring parties, who have raped and crossed
Their Rubicon, with pain so unexpressed.
