DEAD SOBER, DEAD BORED, AND DEAD LINES
April 25th

DEAD SOBER, DEAD BORED, AND DEAD LINES
Settled into seriously sucking sad times
Dead sober, dead bored, with dead empty lines
I'm not griping about scribbling some words out in ink
and then typing them out, I simply just don't want to think
I'm not feeling like sketching lyrics for something to sing
I don't feel like feeling much of anything
I'm just not in the mood to use my muse
I'm thinking I'm feeling like drinking some booze
but I promised myself that I'd force me to write
and to also get alcohol...

FIRST KISS WITH COURTNEY
She stopped me quickly, grabbing my hand desperately
beneath the oak tree, growing in fantasy shade over the
edge of the sidewalk where no one else could see
She told me she had something special and secret to ask me
I took her other hand and asked her what she wanted to say
She asked me if i had ever kissed a girl before
I told her that I hadn't
She asked me if I would be her first kiss
I told her yes
We closed our eyes and pressed our innocent lips together
Simple
We stared each other in the eyes
She asked me if we could do it like...

TIME TRAVELER
April 24th
#24
TIME TRAVELER
Moments die
Minutes pass away forever
Each separate second ceases to be
The hands on the clock lie to me
Memories lie
Time taken to die
The past lies within deceptive recollection
Faint phantoms of the past talk to me
Perpetual illusion
Only now is now
Tomorrow doesn't exist more than yesterday
And even present reality will soon pass away
Newborn infant
That child has died
What I was doesn't exist anymore
This was written with a dead man's hand

THE FINAL COURSE
April 23rd

THE FINAL COURSE
Welcome to the breakfast of the newly sent innocent
You will be served by the waiter with endless curiosity
which will gradually transform into sweet and sour scorn
with a serving of friendless animosity
We cater to the first to figure out, and the last
Our waiters and the cast wait to break you fast
A palpable plate placed out for the beginners
with sweet and sour sauce set out to season sinners
You will receive unending dishes of unfulfilled wishes
Then with one final breath...

IT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

IT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
From unhealthy crushes to wealthy pipe dreams
nothing is ever quite what it seems
pissed princes kiss premenstrual princesses, the source of their malice is
sewn into cynical cysts within priceless phantasmical palaces
soft slender fingers developing calluses
from hands constantly enveloping blood-filled chalices
The succubus sucks and strokes, fondling phalluses
awoken to jokes of daylight nightmare paralysis
hearing the alarm scream and seeing sunlight stream
opening erased eyes to...

DIRE DEEDS - DARK ARTS

DIRE DEEDS - DARK ARTS
Desperate delivery of unfortunate fate
Incantations immaculate, unwilling to wait
Resurrections of visions disturbing to see
Eventually these things will all come to be
Drawn upon an empty screen
Evocations upon unseen scenes
Entertaining the beings, the magician sings
Detaining the marionettes tangled within their own strings
Destroyed destitution, dismal and grim
Attitude attributes flung back at them
Reveling retribution...

SENTIENT SENTINELS (PLAUSIBLE PARANOIA)
April 20

SENTIENT SENTINELS
(PLAUSIBLE PARANOIA)
They see within and stalk outside
There's never any place to hide
The robots recognize our faces
each stored in massive databases
The delivery guys are spies in disguise
and the squirrels have cameras set in their eyes
just as each and every sparrow and each single staring dove
They have satellites circling around up above
They've bugged all your telephones and even your homes
All the roaches are rigged up with tiny microphones
You're never alone with the...

MANNEQUIN ATTACKS

MANNEQUIN ATTACKS
Spinning sensual silhouettes
dancing like mangled marionettes
tangled and strangled within the strong strings
of the only right and wrong song that it sings
the only truth eternally beckoning
the translation of forgotten reckoning
plastic pieces of perceived perfection
phased out from my plastic recollection
You approach me as a dream within
succulent cockroach sin.......
perfect plastic reflection.......
approaching silent sultry sin
with skin akin to porcelein

THE BREATH OF SPRING
April 16

THE BREATH OF SPRING
The sultry stems of the rose bushes gently sway in the spring breeze
to the high pitched guttural chirps of eager mating songs
from the robins and the sparrows,
each seeking their own companion in their own seductive manner
as the cool wind swims through the day and gradually fades
before sweeping in again in it's continuous pulse
The crimson flowers begin to blossom
and will continue to grow over the days and the weeks
until they finally bow down their exquisite heads
their slender...
