Truth syrup
Swapping helmets amidst the mad hatter
Overly stewed time within here space pot
Satyr woodrose fawning a state of matter
Dionysus base upon sin-soaked sated lot
Understanding the substance ere deduce
Speak in tongued inclinations lately anew
Flowering idea roots a proceeded obtuse
Rinse every sunrise with moonshine dew

Speak in tongued inclinations lately anew

Love is Metaphysical
wafting as incense
throughout rooms—
you cannot see its smoke
amid the presence of Light—
but revel instead
among those who burn

WHEN YOU FEEL LOST
From your deepest level of emotions and feelings comes out in a way that you, could never imagine yet it is those struggles that will be heard through words not spoken. For have you ever listen to a song created by music that carries, raw and uncut memories and emotions and feelings, that it takes you places in the deepness of your mind and heart speaking to the body of your soul. For have you ever looked and wondered, through the transcending stars in the abyss of the universe and theology wonder is it really possible, to be able to walk upon the moon transcending you to one planet to...

Germ Cell
Because they suffered
we will too,
we'll just be
better at it and
able to withstand more.
A thanks or a fuck you?
Not sure which is in order.

Ashes
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
What is right now
Will become what was
We can't stay here forever
We're just passing through
What is new becomes old
What is old will renew
Dust to dust
What is right now
Will become what was
We can't stay here forever
We're just passing through
What is new becomes old

Don't Waste Your Time Mephistopheles
Don't waste your time Mephistopheles
get on you knees, God saved me
with little wine and "who art in heaven"
and a little itty-bitty wafer cracker
I found my faith about a month ago
ten commandments of octane gas
so don't trespass on my dreams
of Mairzy Doats
I listen to devil and all his lies
but my love saved my ass
leading me by the hand
don't waste your time Mephistopheles
get on you knees, God saved me
with little wine and "who art in heaven"
and a little itty-bitty wafer cracker
I found my faith about a month ago
ten commandments of octane gas
so don't trespass on my dreams
of Mairzy Doats
I listen to devil and all his lies
but my love saved my ass
leading me by the hand
don't waste your time Mephistopheles

The Withering
With the withering of passing
now in silence I sleep unborn
in the womb of no scorn
and ghosts of epiphany
of my Helter Skelter
free from the devil's anvil
grasping shadows of my bones
as widows of stones fast
before masturbating a psalm
of hallelujahs breast plate
with the withering of passing
now in silence I sleep unborn
in the womb of no scorn
and ghosts of epiphany
of my Helter Skelter
free from the devil's anvil
grasping shadows of my bones
as widows of stones fast
before masturbating a psalm
of hallelujahs breast plate
with the withering of passing

Comfortably Numb
I was a fresh tube of paint, Indian Yellow,
in wait to experience the slick skin
of a gesso'd canvas—or paper'd
Poetry put to pictures, a visual gift
After hand-to-hand combat
With the muse. I had never known
A scent of turpentine permeating
The space of an atelier,
Unlike my friend, whose name
Was that of a man's, Michael,
Yet, she was feminine as they come.
Michael, who had fallen obsessively
Within the composition of one
Who would unwittingly become
My greatest mentor. Me, starry-eyed ...

outlook on life
reaching in the dark best explains it; a slow death more or less painless; the noise & quietness-all the same-ish;
the ambitious; the "famous"; then there's the "still kicking" through the anguish; if things were much different; how much(for better or worse)would it change shit....
life is like a stomach with a huge appetite; hardly ever full; what's your purpose? to be a rusty or polished tool?(lightheartedhumor)
I simply exist....going through the motions; like the wind, & the ripples in the ocean; where...

Three short poems and some slime
1. A letter to racism
Racism your a dinosaur
A savage beast
Preys on the weak
Or gangs up on the strong
I wish you were extinct
But you linger on.
2. The Brain
The world has many different shades of Skin
There's only one brain
The world has many languages
The brain can learn them all
3. Friendly Street
Take a walk down friendly street
You never know who you'll meet
People of different colours shapes and sizes
Our beautiful world
Is full of surprises.
and then mind...
