The Pledge of the Castles
We are the battletowers
On the watchful corners
Of your majesterium
We are the eyes and ears
Borders that stretch out to the oceans
But you O reverent Ladyship
See farther than we ever can
Your eyes are setted gemstones
And the element of air your emissary
We are the last garrisons
Entrenched on the furthest
Windswept outposts
Where the fields have turned to mud
And blustering winter rains
Have mashed the ground into marshes
As your Majors
We plead that you return...
We are the battletowers
On the watchful corners
Of your majesterium
We are the eyes and ears
Borders that stretch out to the oceans
But you O reverent Ladyship
See farther than we ever can
Your eyes are setted gemstones
And the element of air your emissary
We are the last garrisons
Entrenched on the furthest
Windswept outposts
Where the fields have turned to mud
And blustering winter rains
Have mashed the ground into marshes
As your Majors
We plead that you return...

And other cards
The type
to play solitaire
with tarot cards,
not out of spite
or to make a statement,
but just was dealt a
'unique' hand in appearance
and decided one day
to roll with it.

I can see why
Someone once said to me
if there IS a god
why does he let bad things
happen
and I remembered
the time
I saw a fox chase a coot
and how I did nothing
but stand and watch
simply because there was nothing
to be done

Let's Play
It's just a game for, ain't it?
It's chess, it's poker,
it's who can reach a thousand
Blink and you lose it all
Eyes locked, fingers on the gun
A glare at the starting line
Oh you my dear are something to fear
But my oh my are you thrilling
Who'll fold, who's dice will betray?
Will you fall? Or will I?
The dream at the end of the day
Is to simple watch as you
Crumble to your knees
To just hear you say it out loud
Tell me you love me
Make it pretty, please
It's chess, it's poker,
it's who can reach a thousand
Blink and you lose it all
Eyes locked, fingers on the gun
A glare at the starting line
Oh you my dear are something to fear
But my oh my are you thrilling
Who'll fold, who's dice will betray?
Will you fall? Or will I?
The dream at the end of the day
Is to simple watch as you
Crumble to your knees
To just hear you say it out loud
Tell me you love me
Make it pretty, please

Under The Ice
Under the ice, of the glacial abyss, of the Arctic Ocean
In a wake, of silent running and stalking stealth motion
There's an ominous presence, a leviathan, of the deep
Submerged, in dark polar depths, to enable it, to creep
It's a harbinger of doom, as lethal, as the reaper grim
A preying war machine, under perfect ballast and trim
Observing, insidiously, using its control and command
Preparing for a MAD moment and fatalistic, last stand
From orbiting satellites, there will be co-ordinates set
And the...

Roses Are Bled (Haiku)
A rose with a thorn
Tears bleed, at looming death knolls
For whom the bell tolls

The Corpse
Deathly wisps of hallowed thread
Brought the raven upon my bed
Grimiores called but none replied
The raven crowed and then he cried
“Wretched soul, what have you done?
You’ve killed yourself ‘fore life’s begun!”
He crowed once more and flew away
And left a shadow cold and grey
My body stiff yet freshly dead
A corpse remained with wrists stained red
The crow returned and pecked my eyes
Swallowed both and then replied
“For eternity shall your soul remain
Till maggots and flies consume your brain ...

Excerpt from 1st Children’s Book, Unnamed. From Pt.1
He lived in a modest home
with shotgun architect.
It was located at the end of Montgall Ave.,
over around the18th & Vine district.
On some nights he could hear the crowds
coming and going, from the back door,
over at the Mutual Musicians Foundation,
where he could hear the maestros playing their music.
In the backyard his mother kept
lush fern gardens
dripping from a rock wall,
green and spawning,
sweeping down...

Something
Is better than nothing,
and that's all
we can hope for
at least?
Or maybe there is more,
something doesn't have to be enough.
Because whatever the roll of fate
we can say bugger that;
I'm playing a different game.

Black Hole
Life: a descending spiral
A distant horizon of blazing rays
Lifetimes spent chasing rainbows
Illusions of colorful playgrounds
Flushed in a swirl of time wasted
A minutiae of tsunomic manure
Corked into constipation by pablum
and deception disguised as eternity
All the time the truth promises freedom
Yet can deliver no more than hope
But where is the value in an empty hour glass
Time standing still in a vacuum
Unable to escape the event
of the final horizon I will see
A distant horizon of blazing rays
Lifetimes spent chasing rainbows
Illusions of colorful playgrounds
Flushed in a swirl of time wasted
A minutiae of tsunomic manure
Corked into constipation by pablum
and deception disguised as eternity
All the time the truth promises freedom
Yet can deliver no more than hope
But where is the value in an empty hour glass
Time standing still in a vacuum
Unable to escape the event
of the final horizon I will see

No Longer…..
No Longer…..
connected to a rusty chain of regrets, dragging me thru an emerald sea of corruptive dying dreams
No Longer…..
is a glowing purple moon light a darkened sky, now black against an horizon of sin, temporarily dawning an invisible mask, to have shared passion with a cryptic soul, who crumbled this heart up, trashing it as if it were nothing
No Longer…..
is the next breath a struggle to breathe, but a cleaning power of strength against my weaknesses

Chance
Hey you!
Yes you!
Take a roll of this dice
And depending on where it lands
You could end up on this side of the tracks or the other
Just put your fate on this roll
Oh who cares about equality
If you win you win big
Who doesn't like that type of risk?
Come on now
Put your soul on the line
Look at them they've won before
Come on now
Pit your happiness on the line
Throw it high
Or even to the side
It doesn't matter
Just make sure you play this game
For...
