Pipedreams Of A Dragon
We're all secretly failed dragons
Us smokers, and ex smokers
Still hoping that our flames
Will one day ignite
And at last
Fireballs will shoot forth
From our now firey breath
But all we failed dragons can manage
Are wisps, of whispering smoke
Sometimes emitting
Creative circular clouds
That spiral upwards
As they fade away
Like dreams
Rising slowly
From an smouldering briar

Historical Fantasy
sapiens, torah,
upanishads, new testament
i claudius , rise and fall…,
dawn of everything, brief history…,
short history…, long walk.

history
is a work of fiction,
a novel
written after-the-fact.
once upon a time,
there was an age when lines
between human and animal
were indistinct.
someone did light a fire, cook a meal,
perform a marriage for the first time.
we really don’t know
how these things happened.

just stfu....
society is full of shit.... the end. chaos is embraced by masses-the outnumbered few understand true suffering- wanting it to end....
the noise keeps on noising like hooligans at the damn zoo.... piling on like flies to shit.... closing one's eyes in hope of no tomorrow(to die in my sleep) because the awaiting chaos ensues....
"just stfu why don't you...." wished one's "walls" were sound proof. the world-much more uglier than "beautiful...."

Re-Turn...To Eden
Rain..poured down
Sensing there was a draught
I needed to somehow About Face
Find a way to retrace my steps
Sift through muddied Sand
Recover lost Bones
Hone and Honor God's gifts
Upset the Apple-cart
As a Dust-Crafted Man Created
Apart from.....

Some days we just have to show up
We see it every day
in the vacant look
of people we love
or a strangers silent plea
Staring, just staring at mothing at all
not even seeing our dreams
as if the soul is on hold
and we're playing a role
A commitment to life
that's worn us out
and we're too tired to compete
in the rat race of existence
These are the bad days
as dishes pile up in the sink
feeling hungover getting out of bed
because we just don't care
Everything is harder
even putting on socks *why bother*
wearing...

Eternal Dreams
Letting sleep swallow eternal dreams
sandman sprinkling the laze
soundless dark unsung blue eyes
through the inner ear
with shadows of a flame
touched by a breath of night's enamel
the short wick of the stars ends the day
turned out by the winds of the shades
through the inner ear
sandman sprinkling the laze
soundless dark unsung blue eyes
through the inner ear
with shadows of a flame
touched by a breath of night's enamel
the short wick of the stars ends the day

Eden
focusing my energies I must separate fact from fiction
it is hard to get a bead on things,
to zero in on who is troubling me
manipulation on a cosmic scale
it's affecting my thinking
with all those alpha waves affecting my brain's synapses
causing electrical misfiring and memory loss
then I have to keep in mind the host and the vampires
while paying attention to AI and the grid
because before you made anything natural, you set a foundation
the Gregori didn't work out as Watchers
they were too heavily and...

The death of a mouse, the birth of something else
A mouse on the side of the road,
not moving or trying to hide.
How it was missed by rotating masses
of rubber and steel
is anyone's guess but I digress.
I got off my bike in the middle of a ride,
the one I take to escape the tribe,
and moved this small bit of fur
off the road and away from a roadkill.
Crawling toward me
I immediately shrink back
afraid of being bitten.
Poisoning I surmised,
as I held it in my hands until it died.
I felt connected to something
yet unable to describe,
that small acts...
not moving or trying to hide.

Mittens are Numb
Mittens are numb, gone are leaves
as winds whisper, trees into totems
the souls of the woods as nature mourns
a single oak where a heart of bark failed
the misting frost rises turning into wings
as a heavy hush in a frozen realm
leaving no footprints to mar the scene
as winds whisper, trees into totems
the souls of the woods as nature mourns
a single oak where a heart of bark failed
the misting frost rises turning into wings
as a heavy hush in a frozen realm

Tempting Void
I need to tell you something
Perhaps I possibly shouldn't
But really I must
And so
Here it is
You are pronounced
Not in an indicative
Casual or slight way
But justly
Eagerly
Epically
Pronounced
You see
It is imperative
The way you can be seen
Conjunctly
Unifyingly
Within certain parameters
Of your inner mind
Now
Listen up
Hear this
Attentions please
Wait for it
Here it comes
There it goes
The circular
Infinite nothing
It is what...

balanced duality and dichotomy
help me peel back the layers and unmask,
unwind with me as I lounge in the foliage of fall,
be my partner in this beloved folie à deux.
enjoy your time and ride this coaster of emotion.
hurtle forward, drop your gut on the loop, and slingshot backwards.
ride it once and know what to do, nothing new to expect.
except this coaster shows a pattern,
a bigger cycle; fall down 7, get up 8,
it must be fate these missteps won't abate.
depressed, manic, stable
manic, depressed,...

The exhaustion of an eye
You were given eyes to see
but they do not penetrate
this is why ignorance,
anger, hatred, violence
and aggression exist
in our lives today
these are conditions
of human suffering
and we are unable
to see these conditions
in ourselves and others,
as you open
your eyes you
will start to see
other souls
suffering all
around you
including
yourself.
