Innuendo
Innuendo
I am...
A bohemian soul
Wandering through
The darkest cavern
of your muted thoughts
Playfully dancing
To your every desire
To lure you...
into your own death
Like a leprechaun
waiting to collect your soul
He is...
An abandoned spirit
Walking amongst
the concealed pretension
of worshipping flesh
Where every vile thoughts comes with a
blasphemous hypocrisy
Misleading every soul
Like a ghoul on the lose
Waiting for a chance
to devour you whole
...

St. Patrice day
Saint Patrice day
In 1957 my ship docked in the town of Cork (Ireland)
If you think that is a long time ago, you are probably right
but in my head, it was yesterday.
Life was slower back then, cargo was lowered into
donkey carts, there were many mules waiting
we went to a pub, a stone a throwaway and drank Guinness
Never did I tell my mother, but I told her of the Irish girl
I was going to marry had red hair and green eyes
she had the aroma of an angel.
Leisureliness has ended ships leave as ships do
On the shore,...

Slowly, Quietly
Slowly, quietly, one by one
the demons come,
to whisper nightmares into
my ears, the poison thoughts
that leave me numb.
Oh how they creep so quietly
in the dark, with claws sharp
as daggers to rip me apart.
I beg and I plead, but they won’t
leave me alone, for each night
they visit, my madness their
home.

the year of infinity
The year of infinity
1938 will be the year of dust storms
Arable land will pale and blow away
The ocean will turn into blocks of salt
Forests will fall and echo in stillness
Millions of birds will fall from the sky
Parched throats drink the blood of cows
Then the weak will be victims of thirst
Then when all blood possible is drunk
When the canals in Venice are dry
There might possibly be snowfall
1938 will be the year of dust storms
Arable land will pale and blow away
The ocean will turn into blocks of salt
Forests will fall and echo in stillness
Millions of birds will fall from the sky
Parched throats drink the blood of cows
Then the weak will be victims of thirst
Then when all blood possible is drunk
When the canals in Venice are dry
There might possibly be snowfall

Phantom Fear
The ambiance of darkness pushes the nightmare deeper into the center of my subconscious.
The mystery is a riddle as the words settle onto the page, one I’m not familiar with.
The words became a paradox as I stand up against my fear.
The deceptive depression sinks further into the grim darkness.
The screaming old black memory is sharp as a sickle.
I touched the fear and cowered into the depths of the night.
Maybe it’s just me.
The pain seems to come and go.
And I dare to enjoy the feeling.

Weatherhead
I've spent every moment under the crushing weight
Of a moonless night that I cannot escape
Clouds above my home
As cold winds blow
The darkness of midnight
Corrupts my perception
Of a moonless night that I cannot escape
Clouds above my home
As cold winds blow
The darkness of midnight
Corrupts my perception

Lowland Haggis Of Unbred Souls
Touch by the faith of the mythical Swami playing pattycake in a Hindu grotto. Weep not for me wee haggis-wed, failed death on haggis bed of a granite gramophone. Feeling my joints locking, playing rigor to my mortis. Singing," R-I-G-O-RM-O-R-T-I-S, that's me!" Gathered around the haggis near the roux of turnips in death's satire. Hitting the plateau running like a duck-billed platypus in adulterated loco-motion. How deep is the haggis in Yokohami in this unkempt dark mold? Giving up to the lowland haggis of unbred souls. Blessed is the shadow in the nave of silence and the pedigreed unchained...

God Bless, You Buried Gentlemen
Riding in on a charley horse
with a crow
rocking your nightmares away
dressed in a blue suede suit
God Bless, you buried gentlemen
of roadkill and bones
at times a tooth fairy when you sleep
not as macabre as it sounds
the crow doesn't kill
it just eats
with a crow
rocking your nightmares away
dressed in a blue suede suit
God Bless, you buried gentlemen
of roadkill and bones
at times a tooth fairy when you sleep
not as macabre as it sounds
the crow doesn't kill
it just eats

Neither Here Nor There
A distance dark
neither here nor there
no imagination or thought
without a scent
or shadow of a tear
just endless dark
listening to death
gasping for air
thump the ground
prowling in oblivion
neither here nor there
neither here nor there
no imagination or thought
without a scent
or shadow of a tear
just endless dark
listening to death
gasping for air
thump the ground
prowling in oblivion
neither here nor there

Ominous dreams
Vision of the future
Through ominous dreams
Death beyond death
To see what i've seen
It's what i'll be missing
After i'm gone
That sends a sharp chill
Straight through to my bones
Years in the future
Boys all grown
Outside in the yard
With kids of their own
And my beautiful wife
Tears of joy in her eyes
Standing hand in hand
With someone else by her side
And I'm just a memory
That's fuzzy and gray
They try to cling to
Before my sickness took me away

Dream
Dream:
Last night, I had a dream.
It was a strange dream.
I was naked, save for a white sheet wrapped around my shoulders. I was in my hometown. It was night, and it was raining. The lights of the city were of a deep crimson color. I knew I did not belong there. I wanted to go home. I was trying to find my way to the city and state where I live currently in the streets of Spokane, Washington. Something was pursuing me. I do not know what. But I knew I was being followed.
At length, I was greeted by a stranger.
