An Ancient god’s Fury
Told I this in tales of yore
the mortal daughter of Irra
existing in Akkadian fields
was set upon by villains
torn and struck she fell supine
silent screams of spilled blood
reached her father in slumber
with his consort Mami
Roar his rank upon the sky
screams of righteous rage
ripped the tormented firmament
swirled in grey the tapestry
of life within the glory
of created existence
trembled and pulse
in terrified horror
Irra in fury rode again ...

swirled in grey the tapestry

Destine
Fallen Angels building a ladder
Rungs tied on with tears and blood splatter
Working while singing a siren's song
Pulling the innocent from right to wrong
Cerberus nipping at their heels to move the herd
Hela wants to sing but forgot the words
Medusa cracking a whip to speed things up
Sisyphus has depression and he's in a rut
Persephone lied with Prometheus to create a spark
Hades found out and Prometheus was caught
Body splayed, strapped to a rock
I IS ME, the vulture, tears at his heart
Gabriel's on...
Rungs tied on with tears and blood splatter
Working while singing a siren's song
Pulling the innocent from right to wrong
Cerberus nipping at their heels to move the herd
Hela wants to sing but forgot the words
Medusa cracking a whip to speed things up
Sisyphus has depression and he's in a rut
Persephone lied with Prometheus to create a spark
Hades found out and Prometheus was caught
Body splayed, strapped to a rock
I IS ME, the vulture, tears at his heart
Gabriel's on...

Moon Kiss
The moon is full
Set low in the sky
A Chinese lantern
A little sigh
She loves the moon
My sweet Moon Pie
Is she looking too
From the other side
Let's meet up there
We have to try
Leave our bodies
Start to fly
At last we embrace
In the moons eye
Just one sweet kiss
No air, we die
Set low in the sky
A Chinese lantern
A little sigh
She loves the moon
My sweet Moon Pie
Is she looking too
From the other side
Let's meet up there
We have to try
Leave our bodies
Start to fly
At last we embrace
In the moons eye
Just one sweet kiss
No air, we die

Where the hell am I
Dangling from a cliff,
One broken tree
The wind blows,
My hands on a ruff branch,
As I look below me,
Towards the ground
I see rocks and water,
Basically the ocean
Dead gorgeous turquoise,
Where the hell am I,
I don't remember
How did I ended up here,
On this similar planet
A unique one at that,
The sky is painted
Royalty all over,
Not the usual color,
We see everyday,
A unique one at that
I gotta find away,
My right shoulder
Feels intense pain
I can't end like this
This ruff...
One broken tree
The wind blows,
My hands on a ruff branch,
As I look below me,
Towards the ground
I see rocks and water,
Basically the ocean
Dead gorgeous turquoise,

How did I ended up here,
On this similar planet
A unique one at that,
The sky is painted
Royalty all over,

My right shoulder
Feels intense pain

Purple Velvet
This world is a testament to power
A monster of energy
Devouring consciousness
Time and time again
He was born with the sun on his hair
And waves in his eyes
Oh good young nymph
Help me remember his name
In case he rides home tonight
Hair to Mycenaean kings
His mother’s shrine
Is now lost in the mist
Memphis has drowned in the mud
And his tale is no more sung
He’s wrapped in velvet
Purple velvet
As he floats down
Down the river
There’s now gold on his eyelids ...
A monster of energy
Devouring consciousness
Time and time again
He was born with the sun on his hair
And waves in his eyes
Oh good young nymph
Help me remember his name
In case he rides home tonight
Hair to Mycenaean kings
His mother’s shrine
Is now lost in the mist
Memphis has drowned in the mud
And his tale is no more sung
He’s wrapped in velvet
Purple velvet
As he floats down
Down the river
There’s now gold on his eyelids ...

Welcome To The Jungle
O'Reilly was just assigned to our unit, a fresh kid with a fresh smile
All new recruits had been going over to Charlie for a while
Partially due to warring politics and also they suffered heavy loses
A volunteer like O'Reilly was never instructed on all of war's true loses
Raised with the philosophy that to truly belong you joined
Although never taught that war and death were conjoined
O'Reilly entered hell all bright eyed and bushy tailed
And was delivered to a troop that was on R&R, and they only wanted some tail
He had money...

When Taking Flight
somewhere sparkling in the night
through the dark shine beams of light
racing ever on until
bouncing off something that will
send a message to my brain
to let me know I'm back again
slower than the speed of light
that flees the stars in cosmic night -
knowing that I have returned
to where I left, where once I yearned
to travel to another star
in a blink, however far
out of body, out of mind
out of ordinary time
out of the solar plasmasphere
to Sirius, or very near -
myths of ancients long...

Magical Hatbox
I have a magical hatbox
where I put all my things away
just when you think there's no room
it begins to breathe and grow.
I place things in, closing the lid
all my treasures I have compacted
they mix and they mingle
they grow and they show
there they have interacted
While watching and waiting
I'm definitely sure
I'll be surprised
as what has arrived
In my magical hatbox
I open my eyes
I see another me
one that's been hidden
for such a long time
In my magical hatbox
where I put all my things away
just when you think there's no room
it begins to breathe and grow.
I place things in, closing the lid
all my treasures I have compacted
they mix and they mingle
they grow and they show
there they have interacted
While watching and waiting
I'm definitely sure
I'll be surprised
as what has arrived
In my magical hatbox
I open my eyes
I see another me
one that's been hidden
for such a long time
In my magical hatbox

Samhain
Samhain
Sofia on lacrima sofa loom
Weaves Hawthorne wreath
Into gable of golden confetti
Whose wisdom wanders
Shepherd’s trails
Across moors where banshees
Wail womanly holy hemlock
Over hectares of Hades
To be herd and heard
On Samhain sparrows
Sofia on lacrima sofa loom
Weaves Hawthorne wreath
Into gable of golden confetti
Whose wisdom wanders
Shepherd’s trails
Across moors where banshees
Wail womanly holy hemlock
Over hectares of Hades
To be herd and heard
On Samhain sparrows

Icaros
Icarus
I have been so fascinated by Icarus my dream was to fly closer to
the sun than man or god dared.
I had the good fortune of meeting a mad scientist at a wine tasting
contest, where our capacity for the wine was appreciated.
He had a type of wax that could withstand intense heat.
I did not hesitate to order a pair of wings.
I flew higher than any god had done before, but the heat
was so intense the wax began to melt.
Like a rocket, I dived back to earth hoping to meet water.
Splashed down into the Barents ocean.
My body,...

Its Love Actually
A soulmate trapped
in a circle of waiting
an empty fist
just keep holding on
promises made on thin air
sieves without end
No words spoken
yet strong in its keeping
vice like grip
on the dying vine
never letting go
until fire turns to ember
its love actually
the fierce undying kind
through thick and thin
and water run to forever
But you keep on Running
from what may come
time for changes
stop...wait.

fishing
Fishing
The sea is turquoise
ships are clouds in the sky.
On the pier headless dolphins
side by side
Music in the air.
Children slide on gore.
shouting sellers
argumentative buyers.
a cacophony of humanity.
Bless this day.
This moment.
God is good here is food for all.
The sea is turquoise
ships are clouds in the sky.
On the pier headless dolphins
side by side
Music in the air.
Children slide on gore.
shouting sellers
argumentative buyers.
a cacophony of humanity.
Bless this day.
This moment.
God is good here is food for all.
