Rosetta In Stone
Have you played with a pen tip
As it slid across blank parchment
Cheered on as untouchable intricacies
became within arms reach
Surrealist expectations as they met up
with their objective counterpart
Sat back and documented the flow
of poetry itself become animate
Brought about your daydreams
into the nervous light
of our unsure waking circumstance
Conjured the unspoken emotions
that lay dormant
inside our timid hearts
Uncovered some personal truth

The Word Engineer
Not many know of that Victorian mansion
Those flakey brick walls
forming an eternal autumn
against the norm of the seasons
Unkempt grasses growing
along the old broken fence posts ,
Somehow still standing
amidst the lingering tug
of persistent weed and grape vine
And , the Hardwood shutters
blocking curious eye from glancing
at the eccentric old man hidden within
Not many know the fruit of his labor
Merely rumoring of the man's
lonely vocation
As Coffee shop ghost stories
fall just short of...

Lavender Town
I've slipped into that sleepless realm
Watched as the shadows wrote ,
their language on my bedroom floor
A contract of selfless ink ,
lending my mind to them
Hundreds of those damned sinners ,
dancing their decadent afterlife nights
Cowering naked with their pale loose skin ,
dangling in my psyche
Gnarled hair tethered
in the most decrepit of patterns
Fetal positioned victims of physical wrath ,
Whimpering at the sight of another vessel
Stepping through the gates of life itself
Like a hunted...

A Shackled Birth
Feel free to explore
This bottomless well
Grip fast to the flagstone walls
letting us in
Shimmy down the sub-terra cavern
as the god's peering light
Dims faintly in these
forsaken tombs
The only sight , that there will to be
Are the stretched out limbs
Gripping the void so tightly
Like a archetype
Of your terror's guise
Beckoning the phantom flight
And the succubine
with her siren call
Greeting us to the river
Where her old blood flows
Through the ancient veins
Of...

Float Like Concrete
Covered in this skin
Existing for a finite eternity
Relative senses poking and prodding
at the fabled dialect of my why's and how's
It all seems so simple
Lunging through
the metaphorical rings of flame
Just to find salvation
in the smoke break
Waiting on the other side
Before bounding through
The next obstacle
life has to offer
I come to question
The same problems
As if I hadn't had a cigarette
Just a minute ago
...

Just A Skiff
I can't remember
those brisk winter months
Huddled in our cotton igloo
Limbs crunched together
seeking the warm refuge of each other's touch
Our eyes the only thing exposed
just to peek over at the immature cartoons
Flickering their nostalgic lessons
that we'd left behind years ago
Our feline family
snuggling up at the foot of our bed
Those three odd balls of fur
so peculiar in their own way
The snarky calico becoming jealous
that she was no longer our only child
The wise grumpy tabby
slowly...

Ritual Calendar
Dissecting worth on a basis of our own interest and accomplishments
Notions condemning the impoverished hologram of self that we birth out of little more than visual assumption and a lacking attention to detail
Tunnel passioned egotists playing the part of social solatarians
Picking apart the unique threads of everyone's pass-time uniform
Evaluating status on a dated tradition of obedience or lust for power
The unrealistic status quo perpetuating the pompous contrarians and humble samaritans that we are
As if our existences have any more meaning...

The Lion Headed Snake
A dance with serendipity
Ankles begin to quake
Shattered tendons crumbling
Beneath a passionless lust
Hip-hop arithmetic pounding
It's hypnotic beat
For us sentient animals
Thumping a primordial rhythm
Hormonal chaos ensues
Consumes our reproductive glands
With a hefty meal
Of fast food fucks
And fruity contraceptives
Faded cognitions
Fighting for grab assing
Mating call distortions
Beckoning dunce cap conversationalists
Those Apex predators
With razor fangs
And...

Through Deprived Eyes
Perched upon her makeshift throne of frail bones and desperate men
She lives off the faint recollection of their sacrificial offerings
Funded through slave labour and their bloodied diamond sweat
Only reaching so far as to give them a hollow sensation of arousal
This the assembly of followers blindly selling their selves for an empires wealth
Singing songs of her immaculate beauty , and sweet loving touch
Oh , how perfect she seems;
Though , by no means a perfect queen
Sprawled out across his unfinished collection of eulogies and love letters...
She lives off the faint recollection of their sacrificial offerings

Only reaching so far as to give them a hollow sensation of arousal

Oh , how perfect she seems;
Though , by no means a perfect queen
Sprawled out across his unfinished collection of eulogies and love letters...

Scrapbook Routine
Forget the thousand still-frame days
Unfiltered snapshots of our realities
Pieced together like a seamless stop-motion film
Those blooming romances of our past glazed over with a warm sheet of dull noir and sappy jazz
The tragic funeral weeks where time stood still amidst the cold strokes of pain on the saddest landscape
Our first anxious sideways stare , peering into a horrid realm of coatrack men and Dali's tree branch hands
Briefly lived vacations spent imagining the cliche slideshows we neglected to build at all ...

On Main Street
A clutter of buildings
Perched on hills and sidewalk bends
Overseen by century old steeples
Still whispering rustic hymns
Through the collection of antique deer paths
Stretching out a little wider now
Catering the iron cages rolling through concrete foliage
Casting an artificial shade over the mulched forest floor
Stamped down by construction plagued summers
Replacing grassy pasture with asphalt fissures
Another layer of paint to an ever changing canvas
Patch work repairs on a tangible landscape
Waiting...

A Life Of Cups
The page dreams of art and love
Birthed into the subconscious minds abstract splendor
Little use for the attachment of material vice
Playfully eloping with romanticizations so vivid and true
Like a collection of dirty rain water stretched out into an expansive sea of serene reflection
Organically sailing its waters without even a star to follow
Though as years grow in number it seems
The realities of others creep slowly to his ear
Idealist toxicity tainting the purity of his seafaring ways
Ships of war ascending upon his ignorant...
