Heaven Takes Away
Back then...
Granny had said that I was a particular child.
How I spent too much time questioning all
of the unreasonable things.
That I was tiresome to her,
when she'd take me to church, and
I wouldn't sit still while listening
to the nonsense of some mortal man
on a stage.
Because I could talk to God anytime,
without that interpreter giving me
his own version.
I'd tell granny, God doesn't see it that way.
She'd just shush me, sometimes handing me
a half-stick of gum...

The Ballad of Captain Abraham Jones
I’ll tell you the tale of a ship at sail
On the deep blue, briny sea.
The good ship Rapport set out from its port
On the coast of old Dundee.
The crew was robust, and each knew to trust
His mate right down to his bones.
But oh, how they shook when they turned to look
Upon Captain Abraham Jones.
The Captain was fierce, and his gaze seemed to pierce
Each crewman deep into his soul.
His orders would bark through daylight and dark
While his men were on patrol.
He’d not be ignored, his hand on his sword,
And a sneer upon his...
On the deep blue, briny sea.

The crew was robust, and each knew to trust
His mate right down to his bones.
But oh, how they shook when they turned to look

Each crewman deep into his soul.

thread and string
Un
He wove the string into a star, and pulled. Behind the glass in a café across the street from the bench he sat in, a man and a woman lock eyes. He watches them say hi, hello, how are you. And he knows that the pair would never separate from then on. The morning sunlight is tinged with heat, not yet hot, he picks at a piece of bread and throws the crumbs to a reluctant pigeon that stares him down, but does not approach. The string is meshed in his hands, red and white and yellow. It is like a caterpillar, always spinning its cocoon, always molting. He pulls it into a vague shape of a...

Jemia et Juliet
Jemia et Juliet - Part Une
A clear azure blue sky
No clouds to cry
No wind, or zephyr breeze
No Aeolian Harp to please
An opaque blue, and gentle sea
A picture of calm tranquility
Whilst the sun produces a gentle haze
A gladdening warmth, in which to laze
Then before my very own eyes
A pirouetting fairy, dropped down from the sky
Beating wings, a myriad of sheens
As it lands upon my jeans
She then speaks in a whispering voice
About love, and laughter, with a lovely poise
She asks me to join her...
A clear azure blue sky
No clouds to cry
No wind, or zephyr breeze
No Aeolian Harp to please
An opaque blue, and gentle sea
A picture of calm tranquility
Whilst the sun produces a gentle haze
A gladdening warmth, in which to laze
Then before my very own eyes
A pirouetting fairy, dropped down from the sky
Beating wings, a myriad of sheens
As it lands upon my jeans
She then speaks in a whispering voice
About love, and laughter, with a lovely poise
She asks me to join her...

Jemia et Juliet Part Trois-Fin?
I was pondering, whether to have another drink
I'd been lost in thought, or so i think
There was something, somewhere, that was now missing
And someone, somewhere, i should be kissing
I must of been, in some kind of daydream
A fantasy now lost, or so it would seem
I felt like a part of my life was now gone
Like forgotten words, of a favourite song
Days, and weeks, then passed me by
That haunted me, like an infinite sigh
I felt alone, and lost, and totally forlorn
From sunset, and twilight, and then to the dawn
Yet a...

Jemia et Juliet - Part Deux
Titania clapped her hands gently, without a sound
Yet the result of this, was most profound
As the fairy flok, from within this great hall
Began singing, and dancing, there was much to enthrall
Yet despite all the sounds of great celebration
Titania's voice, was heard with great clarification
She spoke of wondrous things, now long past
But i was sworn to a secrecy, forever to last
Then we were talking, about a variety of things
About the once watery Moon, and Saturns rings
How the core of the Earth, was hotter than the Sun
And...

all life's amazing journeys
If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you
can’t walk, then crawl; but whatever you do, you have to keep
moving forward.”―Martian Luther King Jr.
i.
all life's amazing journeys
begin and end in silence,
some burnished in the furnace,
some silenced soon by violence.
but in between the moaning
of navel string detachment,
and last rites filled with groaning
at casket-lid attachment,

Sirens
I should've heard the sirens coming
The clarion call of catastrophe
Should've said no when you asked to see me
They say you’re all bastards
Born of bitches and bred to kill
Didn't believe 'em.
Couldn’t help letting you get your fill
I surrendered, let you slaughter my identity
Along with the rest of me
Made for my body you fit as a key
My lips made for drinking
I drank the wine of you so easily
You said you were here to tempt me
To assault my integrity
To arrest my loyalty
For crimes committed...

Later That Evening
The Withering And Rebirth Of A Rose
I woke up out a restful slumber. I looked around. The familiar belongings of my own hotel suite greeted my eyes.
I sat up, physically drained and emotionally confused.
“How…how did I get back here?”
I tried to recollect what had occurred in the space of time, which at the moment I have no recollection of.

Forbidden
Mm.. His arched neck strained to the ceiling
Pressing downward on his gluteus for a closer connection, his dick reeling
Mm... I love those suctioning, squishing juices make and the sensations behind the feeling
Begging him to fuck me harder, screaming out his name
Scratching his back, moaning for him to make my pussy drizzle, cave in, then rain
Withdrawing and then easing back in, hammering me as his dick is serenading the cunt of this sexy dame
His tumultuous release drowning inside of me
Feeding that long overdue...
Pressing downward on his gluteus for a closer connection, his dick reeling
Mm... I love those suctioning, squishing juices make and the sensations behind the feeling
Begging him to fuck me harder, screaming out his name
Scratching his back, moaning for him to make my pussy drizzle, cave in, then rain
Withdrawing and then easing back in, hammering me as his dick is serenading the cunt of this sexy dame

The Crier
The Crier stands there, on the platform, overlooking the darkness, toward where our legends say, our saviour waits for a true soul to call him to wakefulness. The crier is a big man, full of life, but in a strange way, he and I are similar. He is to try just one more time to waken our Saviour with his "soul call". If he fails he may never return to try again. Tonight will be my last watch, the lung eaters that come out of the darkness have slowly but surely destroyed my lungs and now it is only time before I can no longer breath and I will pass on to my reward. I am not sorry that this will...
