Dressing up daydreams as dead bodies for viewing pleasure: this life is a shoe box in the hole hoax
There will be eight Armageddon's not eight ladies dancing.
hounds of heaven unleashed from the clanking of shifting chains holding back remaining Titans unfit for frolic,
tired plane engines have failed and a safe landing is not on schedule for the itinerary.
chariots of hell rise up off the throne and infernal councils will,
there is no waking from the dreams darting back and fourth
as mouses in Tyron's maze;
cannibalism caters the wild,
calls us home as caretakers cutting the oxygen lines.
choke on water,
what are the telltale signs...

Interlude Idyll
To be in the surge of that moment
When time ceases to exist in mind
Minding hours is a gain of loves kind
The kindness of gentle breezes sent
From the heart of airs you've sung
Sultry songs bless'd uprush of joy,
Running through juncous lea's, decoy
Of lovers everywhere under sun
And moons radiance to enjoy
Ressurgences snaring eternally circling
Awaiting the next entry to paradise rushing,
Caught in her sine wave ready to toy
With an idea of twin souls combining
In a forever dance about flowing.
When time ceases to exist in mind
Minding hours is a gain of loves kind
The kindness of gentle breezes sent
From the heart of airs you've sung
Sultry songs bless'd uprush of joy,
Running through juncous lea's, decoy
Of lovers everywhere under sun
And moons radiance to enjoy
Ressurgences snaring eternally circling
Awaiting the next entry to paradise rushing,
Caught in her sine wave ready to toy
With an idea of twin souls combining
In a forever dance about flowing.

Apocalypse part 5
6pm
Rouge: " what's with that stick you carry?"
Journey: " I've decided to craft and carry this.
every since the apocalypse began, for protection...."
they continued their walk into town....
it's starting to get dark....
they find a town house scarce of any other people;
Rouge: " what do you think brought the aliens here?"
Journey: " not sure, but think of all the contaminated
waste...

Lost planet syllabuses
Colors never seen before
You came for me quietly
Knowing I wasn't ready
They will never take me
Alive ...

The Real Grey Lady
Up and over as if on a string
Sporadic no pattern pushing the wind
The farther it goes deception grows
Still waters for miles still unknown
Beauty meets chaos with light up above
Where she stood ashore and thought of love
Every day made that mile long trek
Hoping she would see her love again
Hope came easy looking out into that sea
Holding a light so other sailors could flee
Those wicked waters that consumes as it gives
For without him what life was there to live
Heart glowed each time she looked out
To dim...
Sporadic no pattern pushing the wind
The farther it goes deception grows
Still waters for miles still unknown
Beauty meets chaos with light up above
Where she stood ashore and thought of love
Every day made that mile long trek
Hoping she would see her love again
Hope came easy looking out into that sea
Holding a light so other sailors could flee
Those wicked waters that consumes as it gives
For without him what life was there to live
Heart glowed each time she looked out
To dim...

& games would begin
& she was just that
Non conforming princess
A bored housewife
of wriggling
minxyness
A match found hot
to touch when flames
of equal ferocity ignite
she'd give as good
ti'll she'd succumb
Secret sanctum desires
upturned waiting
when finally under his
instruction to take him
travelling

Tail
In the bleak salt spray, watching baby seals at play, a book, rather a page, steals my mind away -
a book buried within my palms that harms progressive social conduct - I wash my claws of it.
My soul instructs one chapter more,
excused away to the cottage floor
stretched out as a ribby cat
that shamelessly rolls about beside a roaring fire.
The Father begins a conversation on appropriate walking shoes, fetches a map for forward planning
all of which are shoved to a corner nearer the binding,
purring fondly over a place and time, these folk at the...

Dragon
I saw a dragon,
With an hideous horn;
His eyes' of fire,
Scales hard like tyre.
His snore like the sea;
The wave of the sea.
His voice thunderous,
His yawn infectious.
I turned to steal 'way,
'fore he have me stayed.
It opened his eyes,
And tore me nice.
Yet I can this write:
For that was a dream.
18: 06: 20: 14: 50

The Mouse And The Pea
(a Fable in the form of a Haibun)
Once upon a time but not too long ago, a little white mouse in fear of her life escaped from a laboratory. Tired and bewildered, she found her way to a friendly-looking house and huddled under a stove... warm, but so lonely. Later that evening, a pea rolled off the kitchen table where the family had eaten supper. The mouse scuttled the little green orb and snuffled it with her quivery pink nose. Oh she was very hungry, but she adored the pea's company, for it had come to her! She curled up with the pea and fell fast asleep. In the morning...

A Sneetch ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
There are havettes, and have notettes–
yet in all honesty, without possessions
who can tell the difference?!
They appear the same shape –
male and female alike; O! But wait!
is it a tittle of a title they covet?!
Or, perhaps, in all honesty –
it’s a jealousy thing ; O! Me! Why
clonedingus another Sneetch?
We each have our trinkets – we’re all
born completus; O! Yet, it’s not enough!
Some Sneetches choose to be leeches!
Is it fortune, fame they don’t deserve –
but feel they...

City Tales, chapter 2
On the inside we used to say, "if respect is given, you keep on livin'."
Back in the day, on the streets, it was pretty much the same.
The familiar flickering popping sounds of streetlights engaging was our break of dawn. The dark of night. Our church, and I its pastor. Believe me when I say that I am of little consequence. Within the backdrop of the universe I am nothing,
but here, in my city, I am God.
Gang leadership is not inherited. Those who "fall" into leadership, leave in the same way. On their backs, and cold.
