Much Madness is Divinest Sense
Much madness
is divinest sense –
An eye that hath discerned the severest madness,
according to Emily’s judicious eyes, hath much sense –
The starker lunacy
be equated to divinity –
‘Tis common, unwritten law that we assent common beliefs
And ‘tis uncommon beliefs that common law demurs –
In this, as all overcome,
The stoic few as she will come –
Sanity hath common sanction
Or, you’re forthwith a risk –
Touched by a chain
And bound in shame –

Tide Ride
a little swell
a splash and crash
a whimper
that's all
same stuff peddled
angst and nothing
when all's done
it's a big whole void
wind blowing between eyes
squinting at letters
jumbled abbreviations
swotted years for those
same old tepid liquid
left in dirty mugs
crumbled cookies
who cared anymore
reading tea leaves
thinking of magic wands
to return them all
to nowhere land.
a splash and crash
a whimper
that's all
same stuff peddled
angst and nothing
when all's done
it's a big whole void
wind blowing between eyes
squinting at letters
jumbled abbreviations
swotted years for those
same old tepid liquid
left in dirty mugs
crumbled cookies
who cared anymore
reading tea leaves
thinking of magic wands
to return them all
to nowhere land.

World of Chestnuts
Ceaseless hypocrisy, assuming
wings beneath your shadow
In a world of chestnuts
haunting shattered dreams
Where whispers lie
like a ghost
That won't let go
in a crooked house
wings beneath your shadow
In a world of chestnuts
haunting shattered dreams
Where whispers lie
like a ghost
That won't let go
in a crooked house

Even Whales Get The Bends (Haiku Harpoons)
Vestmanna bay blood -
Sea burns angry, just enough
To remind us. Just.
Upon calves cradle,
Would you slaughter your mother
Shoal loving her child?
Breath breezes her heart
In(uit) death shade, vast blue,
O’er gunships stars fade.
Meat slabs blubber oil scent
Trails death drift for no reason.
Sea snow shepherds ice.
Chasing moon plastic
Earth’s last rites in Armstrong sight;
Anoint grave oceans.
Sea burns angry, just enough
To remind us. Just.
Upon calves cradle,
Would you slaughter your mother
Shoal loving her child?
Breath breezes her heart
In(uit) death shade, vast blue,
O’er gunships stars fade.
Meat slabs blubber oil scent
Trails death drift for no reason.
Sea snow shepherds ice.
Chasing moon plastic
Earth’s last rites in Armstrong sight;
Anoint grave oceans.

Price of Silence
Price of Silence
Nightmares in dreams
Wake up screaming save me from myself
Cowards live when we don’t scream
Bullies behind a pulpit of hate
Price of the silence to silence me
I’m a tree Redwood against the crowd
Can’t silence me in my dreams
I’m fucking woke up I’m an iceberg
Chasing me I can’t sleep in my dreams
The price of silence is immense
Cowards hide behind the quiet
On keyboards typewriter bully
Pull back the shade show you a coward ...
Nightmares in dreams
Wake up screaming save me from myself
Cowards live when we don’t scream
Bullies behind a pulpit of hate
Price of the silence to silence me
I’m a tree Redwood against the crowd
Can’t silence me in my dreams
I’m fucking woke up I’m an iceberg
Chasing me I can’t sleep in my dreams
The price of silence is immense
Cowards hide behind the quiet
On keyboards typewriter bully
Pull back the shade show you a coward ...
