Inspired
Chaos is the language of the lost
But love is the way that breaks through the frost
The cold, hard stone of man may meet
The brightest light that brings him heat
And from that light which rallies yonder
That makes the hearts of men grow fonder
They think of thee, o name unknown
Which all have seen, and all have known
That sacred: “time and time and half a time”
Are rhymes, rhymes and half a rhyme
But love is the way that breaks through the frost
The cold, hard stone of man may meet
The brightest light that brings him heat
And from that light which rallies yonder
That makes the hearts of men grow fonder
They think of thee, o name unknown
Which all have seen, and all have known
That sacred: “time and time and half a time”
Are rhymes, rhymes and half a rhyme

What if you got what you asked for?
Your dreams;
All realized
Oh please,
Pray tell
How will you withstand the torrent?

A beast
What condemns a poet's piece?
What surrounds that feeble feeling
A golden arm or golden fleece;
Or tragedy that leaves us reeling?
A troubled time, a time so near
And far away from their arrears
A debt is paid, a debt is paid
And strikes as eagles so arrayed
O prey; o pray,
Say not that all will come to ash
For as the dust we all will lay
So too this iron tongue will lash
Dost thou recall the iron smoke,
The terror that surpasses dreams?
A day when every nightmare woke
For hell let loose its fiery...

A truly ladylike Villian (with occasional remark)
V: let us speak in riddles
Me: aye, and eyes to see
V: you think me mad, for titles and tittles
Me: and t*ts far from the sea
V: you question my poetry, and call them fictions!
Me: I do, my dear, for these predilections:
Me: “your sophist contempt, for those you don’t know; are hardly a reason to put on a show; your lazy endeavor to seem quite as clever; was ever the lever that made me say NEVER;!
V: you mad crazy man, you ludicrous stooge; you orange idolator, crazy and rude!; no wonder you care for a stranger to you; cause ‘Donald’ means...

Future Deep - 2024
I exist in a universe not your own:
Behold the seagulls, behold the crows;
Rows of grain, and field of gain
Feigning their success with the rest;
Besting each other like husband and lover
The secrets uncover like gold to discover
No wonder we smolder
The rain may be older
But boulders break shoulders;
And though earth is older
We children are bolder
And though we may hold her
She beckons her soldiers
No army she bolsters, with pistols in holsters
We sing and we toast her, for boasting we boast her!
...

LOVE POEM

If Love is what it’s meant to be
My love, thou distant friend:
When all of us is at its end
And nothing grows but words of rhyme
And every sun reverses time
When every moon is clothed in gold
As newer things are counted old
Then, my love, perhaps we’ll see
If love is what it’s meant to be
If love is what it’s meant to be
Then, my love, perhaps we’ll see
As newer things are counted old;
When every moon is clothed in gold
And every sun reverses time
And nothing grows but words of rhyme;
When all of us is at its end
O my love, thou distant friend ...
When all of us is at its end
And nothing grows but words of rhyme
And every sun reverses time
When every moon is clothed in gold
As newer things are counted old
Then, my love, perhaps we’ll see
If love is what it’s meant to be
If love is what it’s meant to be
Then, my love, perhaps we’ll see
As newer things are counted old;
When every moon is clothed in gold
And every sun reverses time
And nothing grows but words of rhyme;
When all of us is at its end
O my love, thou distant friend ...

Regarding May & other months
I truly hate this weather
Whether it’s raining or sunny
Honey is produced everyday;
Everyday even without me
Flee from terror, you sacred beast!
Feast not upon petal and flower
But power, in every age and hour
Shower us with your graceful love
Love! What a concept of mind
Grind the wheel stone until you have enough
Rough hands wake the slumbering artists
Large fists rouse the slumbering patrons
Matrons of honor upon your purple petal;
Mettle with me, as you’ll always be
Just a flea
Free to hop...

A new chapter now arises
Like fires that quench the cold night

Tired
Sleep is like my enemy
He allies himself with restlessness
In his wisdom, he abandons me
He has handed me over to exhaustion
Oh sleep, why dost thou evade me?
Why, like a shadow, are you absent
From the light of my life?
Why do you stand aloof from me?
In my anger, I deserted you
In my youth, I despised you
In my pride, I ignored you
Yet now I call to you, and your voice eludes me
Truly I have reaped what I have sowed
He allies himself with restlessness
In his wisdom, he abandons me
He has handed me over to exhaustion
Oh sleep, why dost thou evade me?
Why, like a shadow, are you absent
From the light of my life?
Why do you stand aloof from me?
In my anger, I deserted you
In my youth, I despised you
In my pride, I ignored you
Yet now I call to you, and your voice eludes me
Truly I have reaped what I have sowed

The Son Sets on His Home
Maranatha, with my whole heart, Maranatha”
Come and see, the devastation given me;
Blood and oil, deep in the soil
The air reeks of hatred
Come and see, the prayers that are given me
“Let them perish, o let them perish”
“Save us, o mighty salvation, save us”
The air reeks of prayers
Come and see, the rocks who run and flee
“To the mountains! To the desert!
There will our safety be”
But you, Judea, have not seen safety
For it is a swallow, a pelican in the wilderness;
Nowhere to be found
Nowhere to...

Money (short rap)
Issa bank tale, from a bank tail
They said:
A strap will rob a bank for a dollar and a dime
See a judge, meet a celly for a minute and a time
But a bank’ll rob the world for a penny or a nickel
Grab the People by the balls when the Suite is in a pickle
Bills, thrills and bloody spills— money kills
Petty chicks with pretty frills
Bigger checks and bigger deals (dills)
Every body feel the chill
Chiiiiiiiillllllllll
Or freeze
Your assets
Or your ass sets on this mattress
In this black dress; just a hot mess...

Valuri de Foc (Waves of Fire)
Dragii mei! Si toti saraci
Asculta acum de mine
Am o vorbe--si voi bogati!
Pentru vremea care vine
O valu mare inca vine, o timp necunoscuta
Ci nu de apa, dragii frati
E focul meu vazuta
Ci nu din cerul, preaiubiti
Sau din oceanul mare
Dar dintre voi; sa va ganditi!
Cu singe mi se pare
Ca jucarii voi toti va teama
De noaptea unde stati
Ci fara cineva cu seama
Voi omorati surori si frati
Dar "va vini o zi
Cand cu alb nori, Domnul va veni"
Si cu toti cei drag, langa El in har
Vom...
