A Fragrant Scent
A fragrant scent of death calling
floating above the sheets
like a silken-winged moth
burning with desires
pouring over me with a reminder
with eyes fixed upon my breath
of cyanide and almonds
dripping into night's oblivion
a fragrant scent of death calling.
floating above the sheets

Prey
different faces
some are chaos
subtle itch
hidden by masks
bone to pick
consumed in guilt
false identity
we’re simply built
throw the stone
web site wars
revealing faults
human insecurity
is this our best?
unimpressed
it’s quite sad
and second guessed
egocentric lies
fuels timid fires
a brave keyboard
shields ignorance
lost souls
falling deeper
pride kills hope
meet your reaper
death is lonely
forged in deceit
black clouds
invade light ...

All about focus
It's all about focus...a matter of where and how much...what we look at and what we can see…
What we transmit to paper…
between you and me.
We are the ones...who make the choice…
where to bring focus... where to raise voice.
What we transmit to paper…

We are the ones...who make the choice…

Religion and spirituality
Spirituality
So soft and calming
Religion so headstrong,
Extremist, blind faith
Hard rules at pews.
War and peace
Peace and war
Both offering
Heaven, Nirvana
And Good News
But nothing for
Down here, really,
Except pain
And misery.

Carl Vernon - A Bald Eagle for Eagles in the Land of Pigeons
Nothing gullible
about Carl
above the storm
of disinformation
calling shrill truth
for other eagles
to share a
flock together
better than down
with the pigeons
under yonder
stormy weather

Along The Highway
No one here to read me
perhaps a junior journalist
just darkness, worms
and a charioteer to Hades
Reaching out for me
with antiquated arrows
of empty quivers
in my lonesome bellows
For my god has wed the night
in shadows of my obscurity
dripping marrow of my ink
along the hyperlink highway
perhaps a junior journalist
just darkness, worms
and a charioteer to Hades
Reaching out for me
with antiquated arrows
of empty quivers
in my lonesome bellows
For my god has wed the night
in shadows of my obscurity
dripping marrow of my ink
along the hyperlink highway

Like Fingers
Words like fingers with love's malignancy
tasting the hypocrisy of death's song
pushed down the throat of a granite stone
sighing a breath down life's highway
on a four-wheel bier of scented confetti.

Tapping The Pane
Frozen dark of dreams, melting on broken wings awaiting dawn
Spinning like wild dervishes, tapping the pane of my insane
Dripping into puddles of night's ashes, from my meerschaum pipe
Like a faucet with pale screaming, so satanic nightmares curse
Falling on my exposed heart, of bleeding rivers in my veins
Of my mind's stinging syringe, clotting my next verse
On broken wings awaiting dawn, from night's tiding.
Spinning like wild dervishes, tapping the pane of my insane
Dripping into puddles of night's ashes, from my meerschaum pipe

On broken wings awaiting dawn, from night's tiding.

something special
Every one of us has something special
that we can add to the soup...
and when we
band together... our power can be absolute…

Moved On
The grey songs have moved on
like cumulus clouds of storms
with memories of dark dawns
now as the rain sings new life
swans of tomorrow take flight
the grey songs have moved on.

How I dare To No Longer Be Me -
How I dare to no longer be me
I will have to leave myself
and the rest far behind,
my lines shall run promptly
and I shall pen my new way,
letting this old self be carefully
tucked away, wrapping this poor
soul in cotton threads of confusion,
he will rest, I will lock the door
behind myself, he is now in his
quiet solitude, left to the very
chains that confine his innermost
secrets, all shrouded away, his
