Gardebellum
Fat hares sit on thrones
deep in burrows, holding court.
Snakes and foxes plot.
Invasive species
march, drinking the sprinklers dry
on the offensive.
A rabbit rampage.
Carrot shrapnel scattered like
coleslaw confetti.
Crowns and cottontails
litter an empty kingdom—
subterranean.
Above, no bounty
awaits; forsaken baskets
set aside, fruitless.

Fair Medusa
Fair Medusa
I can see that you are miserable.
You can see I am miserable too.
All around me are stone statues
yet you have allowed for me to look upon you.
Perhaps it is that we share this pain inside,
your reason for not turning me to stone.
Maybe within me your senses are reminded
of qualities you also own.
Then let us leave this curse Fair Medusa!
Within this existence you do not belong.
You became a victim to the gods.
It is they who have done you wrong!
I offer my hand if you will take it...

From Hades
From Hades
Here I sit upon my throne.
This throne of burning fire.
Surrounding me these grotesque forms
compile my empire.
I am Hades.
In this underworld
I reign supreme as King.
Feared by mankind,
such horror is my soul purpose to bring.
So here I sit eternally
amid wailing everywhere.
Crying out as well am I
existing in despair.
Here in utter loneliness
I am exiled within this earth.
By Zeus am I forbade
Mt. Olympus of my birth.
By chance, once in a century ...

Something Surely Afoot?
There once was an Abominable Snowman from Brighton
Its tourists it tried to enlighten
It got covered in confetti
Then mistaken for a Yeti
Its Big Foot is the thing that did frighten!

Immortal Flight
cultivating control through surrender
mind is brought to heel in supplication
symbols murmured by skillful messenger
secrets of soul revealed through flesh and blood
mysteries guarded by hounds and dragons
metaphors for our fears wildest passions
lubricated with sensual lotions
oracle cloistered in dark dank dungeons
justified fears encase soul's forward course
into armageddon upon pale horse
phoenix‘s ashes rise into new skies
resplendent quetzal soaring to life source
blueish hue beneath skin azure lagoon...

Black Fire (Earth-COTS)
Dreadful ones who upon pardons slithering in dark makeshift hot worlds
Bedazzling alibis summonses in belief to snare empresses to fizzle out the unfurl
Deceit plays in the tinier of the ill begot
Reign as sovereign of the abyss below lessened unto evil spirit as thots
In your dreams, your mind, your book of revelations keeps running to the light when hell is getting too hot
High above the blowing breeze I give the meaning to life to petals embedded, stems to sow ...

Doggy Style
I once saw Cerberus
The three headed dog
Guarding the gateway to hell
In the back window
Of a Volkswagon
All three heads
Were nodding furiously
As though they were in agreeance
No shaggy dog tale
With Cerberus
The gatekeeper to hell
And as the Volkswagon
Suddenly turned left
As it crossed the border
Into Hades
I noticed all three heads
Were now wearing shades!
(Must be hot there?)
To follow, would be folly
As i had heard that Cerberus
Was rarely jolly
And i found it a muzzle
That it...

A Dragons Lament
A Dragons Lament
Ive suddenly awakened
As a sleeping dragon
With no flames to breathe
Charcoaled words
Smouldering whispers
Like a fallen Autumn leaf
I soar above the billowing clouds
The lightning
In my breath
My heart is thunder
My words alight
My gold is my coming death
My scaly skin
And awesome wings
Reflect upon the moon
Casting shadows
All asunder
Writ quickly upon the Rune
And so i become
No more
Than myth
My dragon dreams
And firey breath ...

You are so handsome from wisdom staged upon your face
Blood to blood heart to heart now caught in my woven silk and seductive lace
The echoes in the wind asunder the throne of thy art
What’s done in the light evolves in the dark
Goddess Selene harkens unto her cries
Her chariots across infinity entwined of Luna found in the garden of the skies

Darkness Entwined
Passion we surrender unto the carousel of our insentient sinful souls
Ethos in the gift of an illuminating moon patrol
Coats of craving, feels like a chocolate seduce
Catered minds yearn, under a Blood Moon recluse
Heaven’s paradise we shall conform
Wicked passion we cradle come hither, my skin your lips softly adorn
In my arms tonight, Eve’s kisses upon your skin, your tongue slithers...mmm... to relish in the...

hey,
happy birthday by the way
do you remember icarus and your texts about him?
how you must‘ve felt…
how it must’ve hurt…
today, i look at you
only to realize
that you won’t ever get how bad it hurt
how bad you hurt me
that you‘re my sun
and i am icarus
and i fell
and fell
and fell.
so i fell in love with the moon
