Immortal journey
From stone
Carved crevices
Excavated
Burial mound opens
And pre historical carcass
Walks this earth
In a new embodiment
With eyes and ears
Reading my own ancestry
From bones
O Elam
Where jasmin preaches
My heart remembers
The voice of your lips
Pressed upon mine
Lumiscent
I look for you
There is no sign
Or warning
Oak speaks
Through this ship
We are leaving
You have to run
You have to go
As I lay on the deck

I said you make me
But you make song...

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

Days Like This
Is it true what they say
Will tomorrow be brighter
Or mundane like every other damn day,
There is no rhyme or reason
For the thoughts that
Keep me tightly bound
Echoing loudly
Drowning out all other sounds,
Yearning for some peace
Pain consumes me
Crying out for release,
No one hears
The bellows
Or sees my tears,
In silence I sit
Contemplating my world
This messy pile of shit,
Must I keep on going
Or is it time to call it quits!
Will tomorrow be brighter
Or mundane like every other damn day,
There is no rhyme or reason
For the thoughts that
Keep me tightly bound
Echoing loudly
Drowning out all other sounds,
Yearning for some peace
Pain consumes me
Crying out for release,
No one hears
The bellows
Or sees my tears,
In silence I sit
Contemplating my world
This messy pile of shit,
Must I keep on going
Or is it time to call it quits!

Twelve Maggots on a Rose Named Lilly
Into my dreams
You enter
Merely an onlooker
Fractured skies swallow
Sky scrappers whole
Children beg to go
To the gallow
I've seen corpses dancing
To circadian rhythm
I've seen the moon and sun
Intertwine their light
And leave blind the world whole
Grief is a tune
Sickly mice dance to
Open in their rejoice
To the overwhelming
Sadness
I've seen too many things
Twelve maggots on a rose
Named Lilly
A school turned to paint
Then splashed upon a sidewalk
...

Schizo-Paranoia: Living Hell
Black moving shadows paint my walls before my naked eyes
Before they take a fleshly form and spring forth to life
Invading my home, they creep about in the dark
As they signal they’ve found me with a light-signaling spark.
I am wide awake watching every move they make
Uttering not a single sound, I let them invade.
They want no money, they take no jewels...
For these are demons, goblins, and frightening ghouls
Rising from the pits of hell as phantoms
Who will settle not for any earthly ransom.
A body in which to invade is what they seek ...
Before they take a fleshly form and spring forth to life
Invading my home, they creep about in the dark
As they signal they’ve found me with a light-signaling spark.
I am wide awake watching every move they make
Uttering not a single sound, I let them invade.
They want no money, they take no jewels...
For these are demons, goblins, and frightening ghouls
Rising from the pits of hell as phantoms
Who will settle not for any earthly ransom.
A body in which to invade is what they seek ...

Pity nightmares
She's not even real yet but I hear her voice from the corner of my room, I imagen her contortions distorting my vision, such a blissful idea, her tounge dripping with venom, she strokes my face and licks my exit wound, such lovely thoughts but she's not even real yet.

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

Auto pilot
haven't you heard, the sea isn't what it used to be;
though if it was would it ineavitably be wasted;
like me when on the exterior may not look so badly;
it's do or die says the forgotten carcass with doo and flies;
autopilot with the pursuit only to remain living in mere silence;
my heart erupted long ago, as what there is of my brain tired out;
you feel no good to self therefore no good to others but a collection plate during offering;
the wind in one's lungs slowly suffocate in one's hot cold relationship with...
