AS LIFE'S SHELL SPIRALS TIGHTER STILL (1990's; Galveston Island, Texas)
as life s shell spirals
tighter
ever more tightly around me
with each passing day and night
my life itself and i
both seem and feel
to be coiling in a spiral
deeper
ever more deeply
towards some mysterious
unforeseen
perhaps unseeable
unknown end
which lies in silent stealthy wait
both before behind and beyond me
trapped deeply somewhere within
some long held
subconsciously buried ...

photograph
I’ve come across today
a photograph
I took in 1984
of long lost Gilda Lee
And there she stares at me
with adoration in her eyes
To my surprise
In seeing this
my breath is stilled
and I’m now made to be
by memory
heart sore.
Despite how in the passing years
since then
I’ve taught myself to put the beast,
desire for her,
to sleep.
I'm now, if only momentarily
a weak-kneed man
so utterly unclosed,
undone.

Mind Control
Entering my mind
Hearing silence stops all time
There's nothing to find
Hearing silence stops all time
There's nothing to find

A Glimpse
Was it all a dream?
A glimpse of your memory unfolds
This hollow presence lurking beneath aches
Whenever i open my eyes
I don’t see you
It's a deja vu, you’ve done this before
Yet this time, it feels different
For you’ve shut all the doors
And left me here
Wandering with the silence
My only response
I’ll keep your memory close to me
Never letting go
You’re never forgotten
Never leaving the frame
And I’ll try not to let your image
Fade
A glimpse of your memory unfolds
This hollow presence lurking beneath aches
Whenever i open my eyes
I don’t see you
It's a deja vu, you’ve done this before
Yet this time, it feels different
For you’ve shut all the doors
And left me here
Wandering with the silence
My only response
I’ll keep your memory close to me
Never letting go
You’re never forgotten
Never leaving the frame
And I’ll try not to let your image
Fade

Breast Feeding
My milk flows softly now out of sight
Bringing you life in the mists of night.
Tiny fingers grasp and hold tight,
Your presence for me, a shining light.
Within these moments our worlds collide,
Lead me on my little guide.
Where men have touched me filled with lust
May spirits fill your heart with trust.
Bringing you life in the mists of night.
Tiny fingers grasp and hold tight,
Your presence for me, a shining light.
Within these moments our worlds collide,
Lead me on my little guide.
Where men have touched me filled with lust
May spirits fill your heart with trust.

Painful Past
Dreaming about the past is like squeezing a match that has just been blown out
The fire is gone but it still burns you and causes pain
The fire is gone but it still burns you and causes pain

Circle of Life
He would show his kid a video of him and the kid's mother fucking on the night the kid was conceived
He would then show him a video of the child's mother giving birth to him
Years later, the kid will show his kid a video of himself shooting his father in the head with a pistol
He would then show him a video of the child's mother giving birth to him
Years later, the kid will show his kid a video of himself shooting his father in the head with a pistol

Bliss
Will there be another time
When I'll feel your lips
Thrill me with another kiss
And take me to a place
Where you are mine
And we can make love
All of the time
I miss your kisses
And that divine feeling
I've felt when in your arms
A kind of happiness
Akin to bliss
When I'll feel your lips
Thrill me with another kiss
And take me to a place
Where you are mine
And we can make love
All of the time
I miss your kisses
And that divine feeling
I've felt when in your arms
A kind of happiness
Akin to bliss

Bugs Bite, So Bite Them Back
Flies annoy and Bzz Bzz Bzz around,
as long as there's garbage they'll always be found
One year as a kid I killed two flies
Placed them in my brother's burger,
devoured, with some shoe string fries
I recall a kid who lived a few blocks away
The family was dirt-poor,
his home needed to be sprayed
Every time I saw him he was insanely scratching his head
His hair was greasy and wild,
fingertips looked bloody red
I later found out that he was carrying lice
Filthy family they were,
house was inundated with mice ...

Warning Labels
Remember back in the late 1980's, early 1990's when every rap artist & metal band were getting a warning label on their album?
The PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) led by Tipper Gore was a force to be reckoned with at that time
They literally tried to censor art with placing a Parental Advisory Sticker on anything they deemed offensive
Those jackasses thought everything from John Denver to Twisted Sister was immoral.
Guess what happened?
It backfired right in their face!
Kids were curious and began purchasing all the so called naughty and raunchy albums...
