Bitter Hope
Visual poem
Sometimes
I crave death
But then I become fearful
Imagining her to be
more bitter than
she is sweet.
So I wait,
Figure I’ll give her time
to ripen up.
Sometimes
I crave death
But then I become fearful
Imagining her to be
more bitter than
she is sweet.
So I wait,
Figure I’ll give her time
to ripen up.

Releasing the Light
It is our light not our darkness
that most frightens us.'
We lit the candles of our Spirit—
not under a bushel of ancient secrets
digging as moles in sunken basements;
but, a cavernous gateway to acceptance
Trimmed the wicks of our heart
to observe Love blaze brighter
from this darkest eve of Winter
Allowed flames to alight memory—
fill our dark soul of night
with fresh perspectives in truth
Felt bygone...
that most frightens us.'
We lit the candles of our Spirit—

Allowed flames to alight memory—
fill our dark soul of night

King of the Jungle
When the Lion Is Hungry
The Lion Eats
He enjoys his meal
He toys with his prey
He taunts his prey
Then he grabs his glock
And he double taps him
to the head to make
Sure he's dead
So remember these words
When the Lion Is Hungry
The Lion Eats
The Lion Eats
He enjoys his meal
He toys with his prey
He taunts his prey
Then he grabs his glock
And he double taps him
to the head to make
Sure he's dead
So remember these words
When the Lion Is Hungry
The Lion Eats

No Damn Weather Speak
You can call me names
You can step on my toe by accident
What you can't do is talk about the weather
Its either cold, wear a warmer coat and a hat
Or it's not, wear less, you look better that way anyway
I'm pissed off at everything today
It's not your fault
Give me dark clouds
Impending rain
A sly smile
Then I'll know you're my kind
You can step on my toe by accident
What you can't do is talk about the weather
Its either cold, wear a warmer coat and a hat
Or it's not, wear less, you look better that way anyway
I'm pissed off at everything today
It's not your fault
Give me dark clouds
Impending rain
A sly smile
Then I'll know you're my kind

My Love, Eternal
I long for her kiss,
Her bite,
The solemn right to be her one and only love,
Her traveling companion through the sands of time
From here on.
In the dark of night,
With sacred rite I write of her ominous beauty,
Of her lovely features
As if obscure creatures lurking in the shadows
Possess me and inspire me to transform.
But here I wait,
Amidst the trees under the pale moonlight,
I am no more a man but savage beast
Desiring her caress looming in the cold night,
Right before she strikes.
I...

the more information demons
this is legion's region I hear in my mind
it's the more information demons pressing into my psyche
they want to connect with the truth of me
deeper and deeper they press
when they get a lead they pounce
tell us about your mommy issues
we must have more information
relentless and with hunger they pursue
pushing into my darkest thoughts
unveiling the real me
I will not be allowed to look away
repressed memories would be revealed
by their stark bitter light I am uncovered
naked in my sin

Sweet Kisses Upon The Moon
Obsession, Lust, Infatuation
Ghost man swaddling my heart, mind, the purity of my soul, his rejuvenation
As I lay in bed alone at night in the absence of slumber
The ritual of my calling he beckons
Juju resting, my skin tingling
Feeling his breath breezing over the benediction of my sanctuary from afar
Supplications of the moon surrendering to light years of a cosmic lavational pull
Silken passion he bequeaths, my skin his domain, slowly dispensing cloth of hindrance
Scorching love given by destiny’s morning...

IN THE SHADOWS I WALK
As night falls and my mere environment changes as well with each silent movement of time, as silhouette images are just passing through my mind pulling and grabbing at my very spiritual soul. Yet at times leaving me feeling breathless and speehless, within the dead of night with an intoxication adding to the frequency to vibrate even higher sending subliminal messages to my mind, like resurrected thoughts from once upon a time thought to be long forgotten but only buried deep within my subconsciousness. That tends to reemerge every now and then shifting my thoughts, as well as my deepness of...

The Edge
I sat and watched you fight the current
as you were bashed along the jutted rocks,
fighting for your life...
gasping for air...
mind gone adrift...
I was there.
When the pain became too much to bear
and nearly swept you over the edge
as you clung on for dear life,
to that tiny
little
rock
I offered you my hand,
In the utmost care,
but I just couldn’t reach you.
You couldn't see me there.
THAT is when I grasped despair.
as you were bashed along the jutted rocks,

Homecoming
Deciding to revert back to a time of I IS ME before
The times when my darkness was embraced and I begged for more
Before I ventured out of my comfort zone and took a chance on humankind
Forgetting the many lessons that I had learned over time
The conniving ways of the human animals are a disgust
To deceive and have it their way is considered a must
By retreating in to my darkness the cold sinking in to my bones
I'm alone in this tundra, but I feel right at home
The fact that the only hate that I feel, is hatred for self ...
