Holiest Prayer
I kneel and I pray at the foot of this bed
Softly whispering in tongue
Enchanted by the responses I hear coming back
This is a prayer to my Gods and Goddesses
As I lap from the chalice I hold in it’s place
There’s vibrations bouncing off the walls
Increased in volume and intensity
And the breath catches as I continue to pray
Reveling in the sensations brought to life
I feel warm and safe all nestled within
The embrace of the Goddess
I seek the secrets hidden in the tomb
And She speaks to me of mysteries
Riddles to solve as I...

Crimson Smile
Just stay down peon
I hear the glorious laughter
Maha Kali, look what I brought home
She smiles approvingly at my gift
Cleansing me of all this ash
Onlookers quizzical gazes
As I revel in the hunt completed
Smelling the blood of my enemy
The perfect sacrifice before me
As I wipe a sordid smile across my face
My drawn glee smearing on my sleave
Metallic clanging as he runs away
Leaves a glinting slash in the cement
A landmark for my walk tomorrow
Lying there prone and exposed
Naked and enticing to my prey
Maha...

Wondering Heart
My Black Heart of Innocence was discovered
Through the interlocked gaze we shared
I didn't even know what it meant
To have someone look at me so
The purest of innocence and desire
Erupted from my very soul
The second our energies intertwined
What does it mean to feel so much
When emptiness is all I have ever known
What does it mean to protect
When I have only been exposed to harm
How is it that you have reached me
In the depths of my despair
What promises have been told
Without ever being spoken
You seem to be...

Colonizing Spirit
Sacredly idle in every move that I make
As I study the above by looking below
The center is the circumference of all
I am grounded as I reach for the stars
Intentions are said to matter the most
Black, white, and everything in between
United all through our diversity
Isn’t that how we are supposed to be
Categorize being our special skill
Segregating the metaphysical
Constantly dying and living anew
Thinking we know all, see all, are all
Humility among us has long been dead
Demanding from forces beyond scope ...

Drum Beats
The chant goes on raises in pitch
The drum begins to beat along with
My body convulsing
Enchanted I begin to see the spirits
As I move through a world yet
Largely unseen
By the passerby who seems ignorant
To all the possibilities surrounding
This mortal coil
Can anyone else know the journeys
that I have made in front of their eyes
Alone, unencumbered
Our heartbeats are combined
A singular rhythm and time
Mother Earth and I
I sing to all Nature her glorious deeds
And she comforts me with this grass
So very...

Panic Attack
The clanging in my ear
From the laughter that I hear
Tastes somewhat like brass
In claustrophobia en masse
It's the tears that ring true
From memories of you
It's the scream I now fight back
In this routine panic attack
These fists that I now clench
While gagging to the stench
There's never enough air
In this self-induced scare
There's a violence in my eyes
As bile continues to rise
There's a feeling of dread
In my dysfunctional head
Don't feel I'll again be okay
Or that I'll see...

My Heart
Oh wandering heart
Who is it that you seek
Is it someone
Or is it no one
Do you know who you profess to know
Or is this just another path that leads
You down the road of the broken heartedness
Do you understand the one that draws you
Or will you just make a mockery of the
Rest of your life because you were never meant to win
Oh to hear the voice of the angel whispering
Sweet nothings into the ear of the broken and shattered
How fast can you run little rabbit
Because the truth will be all too evident
And there will be no...

Resistance
I stand alone
No one will save me
So I have to save myself
There are no other choices
Either join a gang
And become their sheep
Or run and hide from
The oppressors I see
No those are not choices
But reactions of the weak
And I will stand firmly
And answer challenge’s call
I will not kneel I will not bow
To any man who thinks that I should
Just because they have numbers at their back
And I stand alone
No one will save me
So I have to save myself
There are no other choices
Either join a gang
And become their sheep
Or run and hide from
The oppressors I see
No those are not choices
But reactions of the weak
And I will stand firmly
And answer challenge’s call
I will not kneel I will not bow
To any man who thinks that I should
Just because they have numbers at their back
And I stand alone

What Is Silence
Will the ramblings of my mind never cease?
What are the chances of a pedestrian thought?
The wheels keep turning like a California stop
As it continues through the intersection
What is this tingling in my brain telling me?
Like I don't know the answer…
Nothing slows down as I pump the brakes
And I see the night passing me by
Like so much road being traveled by the weary
Where is this next rest area I'm supposed to find?
And who was it that told me that this road trip
Would be filled with the delight of the manic
Never to be...

Wound Too Tight
My head is spinning ‘round
The spring inside is stuck
These ideas they glorify
The angel I’ve named rust
Lucid sights run rampant
Though chained they seem free
Outside my eyes are twitching
- The only tell I have –
Tells of insanity
I can barely contain
Where do my thoughts come from
And to where do they go
Down the rabbit hole it seems
Distorted is my sight
Through static airwaves
Can I find the cure to
My incessant disease
The struggle made real
Can anyone succeed
When the walls start...

Electric Eyes
For the briefest of moments, I could see
The possibilities of what could be
Never one to shy from a fight
Put to expose my heart, I just might
Could it be that when our eyes locked
That you felt the same, I was quite shocked
Electricity flowed through my brain
And I felt wonder instead of pain
What is this that I'm feeling now
From only a few moments, I wonder how
You've captured my imagination
And my world felt inflation
We've only talked but a few times
And here I sit writing these rhymes
There's magic...

Warrior's Trance
Completely seared are the cornea
From looking at the Sun
I no longer believe,
And so burns this ball of gas
I lift up my hands
To shield my eyes
Yet they refuse to see
Why is it this warrior’s dance
Slows to a methodical strut
Leading to the celebration
Of Life and Death
There is an image betwixt,
There is a message between,
And the Spiral Dance continues
As the drumbeat matches my heart
This blind warrior sees more
Than when he roamed the seas
Invading minds and hearts
Leaving rubble in his wake ...

This blind warrior sees more
