Children of the Witch
Generational worship
Paid idolatrous ode
To mystery dreams stolen
From faring dragon history
Behind secrecy curtains
Passes on vain imagination
Performance for roses
On stage confidence
Ironic hypocrites
Acting lustful inquiry
Hissing deceitful
Forked tongue bewilders
Slithering in counterfeit vision
Winding selfish
Get rather than give
Appeases oneself fulfilled
As snakes parent
Supposed fame and fate
In unraveling penalty due
To suddenly strike
Raised on cloud...

Remembering First
This spell of the world.
Compelling unfurl.
Intelligible.
Non-sensical curse.
What's selling assures.
Your melody mirth.
A skeleton dirge.
Where dwelling meets earth.
Ephemeral hearse.
Exemplary urn.
Heretical church.
Lest hellion rebirth.
Their swelling occurs.
Such leavening slurs.
To tell me disturbs.
Unhealthy disperse.
Our well is but dirt.
Extremity thirst.
Suggestible surge.
Indelible burn.
Dependency searched.
Unhelpfully hurt. ...

Given Goner Gloom
Distant dawn has news.
Inner call infused.
Sprinkle spawn bestrew.
Living carbon rule.
Figure yonder zooms.
Fickle far removed.
Kingdoms long bemuse.
Bidders born abuse.
Business bothers bloom.
Brittle blossom blues.
Fiddled foster youth.
Silver strong with spoons.
Sinner song produced.
Singer solemn food.
Tiller rotten fruit.
Filtered fondness juice.
Wilder want assumes.
Simple starlet view.
Hinted harlot hue.
Kinship followed suit.
Cyclic cosmic clues. ...

21st Century Love
Bemuse and choose a use refused.
Entombed to lose is Yule that groups.
What brood of shrews askew the broom.
Abuses pulled exhuming ghouls.
Our nooses due attuned Azul.
Congruent cupid doom deluge.
Exclusive ruse bejeweled approved.
Such runes confuse construing cute.
Reproved dispute when lucid lewd.
Inhuman rules reduce their views.
Concluding cruelty cubed computes.
Assuming Zule has Zues' 'ludes.
Presumable collusion grew.
Obtrusion knew amusement prude.
Intruding truth gave news commune....

Loose Ends
Loose ends tie up knots inside.
I'm not seeing past the loophole.
Weaving through is seamless fabrication.
Tightened design, anxiety.
Tug of war balances, both sides pulling.
Opposites repel.
Collapsing attraction.
The rope ends as I enter.
Combative hang up.
The fight to push ahead.
Clashing dendrites become waves.
Osmosis waters neurological branches.
Electric quarks.
Emotional, covalent bond.
Cataclysmic dimension.
The currents rapidly transpire.
Anchor drops in...

Spelling Conflict
Ancient witchery.
Sadist trickery.
Satan's symmetry, naked simile.
Makeshift mystery.
Clayman signaling.
Ba'al brilliantly, mages mimicking.
Baseless trinity.
Jaded litany.
Sage's ministry, Pagan industry.
Reigning villainy.
Lasik's visibly.
Sacred disbelief, waiting imagery.
Nation infantry.
Races lividly.
Making history, major chivalry.
Raided inquiry.
Neighbor's infamy. ...

Babel
Age of inhuman, Babel confusion.
Raven recruitment, fabled from cupid.
Playing the nooses, mage's amusement.
Greater when moonlit, Satan seduces.
Graven congruence, gauging occlusion.
Ancient entombment, placing seclusion.
Tainted attunement, splaying disunion.
Latent solutions, fateful intrusion.
Anger abuses, angel induces.
Savored collusion, laymen preclusion.
Manger disproving, strangers disputed.
Reigning this movement, payment exclusive.
Graceless and gruesome,...

Night & Day
Blank canvas darkness
That night inspiration
Nocturnal aesthetic offers
Glowing in moonscape transpose
A moment here disposed
Fallen shadow contrast
Light shed gravity
Anticipated still
Silent reflection
Through fading position
Dimensional ether
Like diametric angles
Stars in the sky
Symmetry supposed
The pale white dance
Whence dawn returns
Over time's horizon
With wondrous synergy
Observant equilibrium
Attempting balance
Vibrance opens
Radiant...
