Morbid Tales
When fire leaps from the northern mountain
roaring hellfire awaits
servants of sorcery
diabolical
rage on the heavens
the rites of their crosses
smashed down
the pentagram burns bright
darkness shall be eternal

night sadness
Night is the blotting paper for many sorrows.”
—African Proverb
when day tasks are done
and the world is gone
and the sun bows down his head
and the doors are closed
and tight locks imposed
and the atmosphere is dead
my spirit swells within my breast
confined against my will
because the night brings more unrest
than can my fervent quill
transcribe....

Lost Souls Rejoicing
Here we are at the nightmare parade
after hours you hear cries in the night
the shadows fall as you witness ghosts of the midway
living dolls steal your soul
you dare to ride the haunted carousel?
calliope plays mysteriously in the foreground
the circus freaks storm the theater of sorrow
the snake charmer hypnotizes you
spellbound, you await for Madame Endora to foretell your future
the proclamation looks good
you arrive safely at home and into your bed
the next time, your fortune may not be so lucky.

Carnival Esoteric
Under the big top
arcane wonders mesmerize diversions in the dark
a strange menagerie of goons and greasepaint,
the snake lady and madame Zora lure you in
a freak show awaits!
at night the midway comes alive,
the carousel ride and Dr. Stein's castle of fun will enthrall you
shrieks of laughter & cries echo through the canvas wonderland
when the lights turn off, the dream you have witnessed comes to an end

Her Ghost
You were walking through the woods.
At night,searching,wearing your boots.
Trees all around you,no life to be found.
You walk a bit more on the muddy ground.
Suddenly,you hear a howl from a hound far away.
You froze in place,not sure what to say.
You expected a wolf,but found a girl instead.
Dark,blue eyes and you began to flee.
But you bumped into a nearby tree.
You looked behind you,thinking you are free.
As you fell on the ground,you saw her face.
She smiled at you and held out her hand in grace.
She helps...

Seconds
She woke up in the middle of the night
maybe 4:35 am
she needed to pee
he then got the urge to pee
he waited near the closed bathroom door until she was finished
when she opened the door, he punched her straight into her face
she fell backwards into the shower glass doors
her body fell into the tub
she was cut severely on her leg and torso
blood was all over the shattered glass, tub and bathroom floor
a crime scene has officially happened within seconds
maybe she'll bleed to death, maybe she won't
didn't matter
he knew what he...

LONG NIGHT EMPTY DREAMTIME SONGS (5-28-2001, 4:00am; Galveston Island Texas)
drifting
detached
adrift afloat again
neither awake nor sleeping
waiting through this
long night empty
for deeper restful sleep
to come
yet beyond behind
this late night s buzzing silence
still echoing through my head
some distant siren
faintly stirs
somewhere out there in the darkness
near night s whispering
ghostly brink
deep within beyond
my present hypnogogic state s
stuck in neutral
empty nothing
when suddenly
some remote inner beacon s
pin point spark...

eventide hymn
"Broken loaves, abundant giving;
broken lives, abundant living." - CAB
“In the morning there is meaning, in the
evening there is feeling.”
—Gertrude Stein
i will be your peace
in the midst of all your pieces,
for i hear your pleas,
as your helplessness increases.

Nighttime remedies…
I have stolen the night sky on its ventures
I have woven through its skin
I took its humility and made it my own
It carried my heart through fields of gold
I carried its soul through my mind
It whispered to me and told me to bask
In its fettering energy
For dawn would soon come
And the time to feel sombre would pass
I must bask in what’s left to enjoy
Sweet moon child
I have woven through its skin
I took its humility and made it my own
It carried my heart through fields of gold
I carried its soul through my mind
It whispered to me and told me to bask
In its fettering energy
For dawn would soon come
And the time to feel sombre would pass
I must bask in what’s left to enjoy
Sweet moon child

Selenolatry
When the moon is new and can nowhere be seen
close your eyes for a rose and gold colored dream
as a midnight mind interphase go between...
beam to lunar beam!
Then think of all the lust upon which they fell
in deep time evolution mating routine
to hone, forevermore, passion's greatest spell...
perfectly serene!
Therein lay eons of intertidal force
pounding away on myriad tropic slopes
in ageless hydrodynamic intercourse
showing us the ropes;
demonstrating the oscillations of love
by...

An Amatory Experience
The gleam in your eyes was like the light of a star.
Your matchless beauty becharmed my heart.
We had moments filled with laughter as never before.
Gianna, you made me show my best qualities.
In the silence of the night, two young hearts beat fast.
We felt as if time had frozen when we kissed.
Our ardent love appeared to be endless like eternity.
We couldn’t imagine living without each other.
We had an amatory experience a long time ago.
You didn’t accept the engagement ring I offered you.
Regrettably, our youthful years were...

A Silent Winter
I…cavalier, casually cool...
I am the essence of my chill
As the breezes thru trees,
leaves while they spit
their ‘coloring contempt ‘
Feelin’ a freeze at thy
tempestuous breath
served in incremental doses
as I layer my earthen canvas...
Juxtaposing the lines of red,
and blue...it’s a cool reminder
for a few, that my sister's season
is quietly awaitin' her turn to assail
my atmosphere at the moment
quietly, dead...
