The Space Beyond The Clouds
The Space Between The Words
Those blue spires within blue clouds
where winged angels roam the heavens
and between the gaping void of the cliffs
the winds blow an eolian anthem
and the cosmic eternal whole lays his hand.
the rocky tips challenging the deep firmament
sending their muted calls to space, beyond..
and down on earth, wanders a sylvan spirit
between the aging trees, a murmur is heard
the forest whispers a spotless, timeless tune
of ghouls and of the past lore of the true world
a cavern...

The Wish of Universal Annihilation
Those who are fascinated by forbidden lore
Are never afraid to look behind the forbidden door,
“Sacrificing countless nights of peaceful sleep
Searching for psycho-cannibal things that one should never seek,
“The dark quest itself may kill an individual outright
As they wonder how their flesh has provided comfort for the knife,
“Or traveled to places that should always remain unseen
While blood from the anus oozes out a nasty sickly green,
“Every dark answer equal to losing pieces of the soul
That slowly...

Vaxxed and waxxed and ready for action
Hoi hoi
Last year, everybody wanted to escape from the measures and stress of COVID. And somehow the idea to predict what would happen in the summer of lust presented itself.
What do you think, will the results be different this spring and summer?
I wrote an English and a Dutch version but somehow (technicalities) the English version was flawed.
Hence this ‘solution’.

Seen The Future
I have seen the future
It’s all based on the past
Finding it hard to breathe
Watching helplessly
As the world slowly falls apart
The opposite and equal reaction
The equilibrium of destruction
Everything is lost in translation
Nuance of misunderstanding
Enough to turn peace to disaster
I have seen the future
It’s no longer blue and green
A scorched earth
History records how the torch was lit
The fire unleashed
For all the intelligence
It was just children at play
Tantrums and...

When the Bubble Bursts
The big-bang blew out this universe
from bubblegum blown by some deity,
huge non-existent lips were pursed
then blew and blew with alacrity,
then quarks and electrons came to be
from its spittle as the bubble grew
but the thing which is chewing on me
what did Newton's Third Law get to do?
Coz, I've heard there's no front nor obverse,
or insides to a singularity,
nothing for the Third to push in reverse
no equal and opposite reaction, see?
But still something blows and with glee ...

Forgettable
Fusillades of faces -
All the modern things.
Feet into prints – Leaving no traces.
Shred sessions, into ribbons,
Falling to the floor
and more,
Falling away -
in segments.
Quick uploads -
into dissolution
vacancies
in memory breaches.
Photographic nothing.
Like -
Cigarette burns
at the surface
of the eyes.
So unseen -
in an absence
of meaning,
meaningless.
On to the next -
thing to be forgotten,
Ill gotten
begotten
of
...

but mother
if there’s a nuclear war
does it matter if I don’t
wash my hands before
I come down for lunch ..
does it matter if I don’t
wash my hands before

nuclear winter
I curse the gods in the heavens
as the storms rose from my mouth
and the earth quake
threatening to break underneath me
swallowing my angry tirade
then flooding the land of Nod
where the peoples were groomed as sheep
and food for the wolves
gravity forgot his manners and begin to harvest out of season
the grounds shift and people scream
fire fell from space
they ate good that day
I swallowed my hate
drank my rage
then ran out of time
the waters froze
it's nuclear winter in hell where I now dwell...

The Goddess of Fire!
The Legend.
The legends of the ancient gods are many, among those that lie almost forgotten by the modern world is of a woman called Pyrah, the illegitimate daughter of Hades, god of the dead and the underworld. According to the legend known only by a few, the god Cronus, last of the Titans and the father of Hades, had a secret love child to a Demoness who possessed him with a powerful spell of lust in order to begin a breed of demigods who she intended to overthrow the ruling gods and plunge the universe into chaos.
Cronus believed he had destroyed the Demoness thus...
