Apollonian Opulence
Lethargic struggle of the everyday
The daemon writ now pact
Ascension through the left handed way
Mortal dichotomy for celestial fact
Seventh tower raised and appeased
Three fold silence in Enoch's hand
Resplendence upon sacred release
Sigils drawn upon blessed sands
Gaping maw of darkness's reign
Heralding the blessed sounds
Gilded light breaking the chains
Of which shadow gives holy ground
Radiant stillness bound yet free
Golden ratios...

A triad of landscapes
While I can't draw maps,
let's imagine an alternate world where
Paraguay, Angola and Romania share borders.
Picture a landmass reshaped
by a mystical force, bringing together
diverse landscapes and cultures.
Angola's western coastline,
with its rich African heritage,
now meets the vibrant heart
of South America's Paraguay.
Together, they are connected
to Romania, bringing in the charm
of Eastern Europe.
This fictional world creates
a tapestry of unique traditions,
languages and histories...

An Ode to Stonehenge
In an age a long time ago was built this circle of hell
Here they stand stone next to stone, nobody knows their true power
This was a place where magicians work
On an altar they practiced their cult
With the power of words, they changed the four elements
Fire - Water - Air and Earth - defeated me and be my slave
See my hands and feel the strength - obey my might, obey my will
No one knows what it really can be, also today the legend still lives
They are only signs of a time, where other laws exist on this earth
In the south of England...
Here they stand stone next to stone, nobody knows their true power
This was a place where magicians work
On an altar they practiced their cult
With the power of words, they changed the four elements
Fire - Water - Air and Earth - defeated me and be my slave
See my hands and feel the strength - obey my might, obey my will
No one knows what it really can be, also today the legend still lives
They are only signs of a time, where other laws exist on this earth
In the south of England...

Vainglorious
Touched by time, life feels moved
Grooves form on the blightless skin
It's strong and firm but not improved
Yet in the scars there can be found kin
It was tried yet craving for more
Through the suspicions unjustified
That something wicked has come to bore
A hole in the crevices of its hide
But in the wake of the storm
The slaughter soon took form
A soul stripped of its sacred hold
And it trips, it kneels, ready to fold
No illness came to bring it low
But mere vainglorious pride
From inward sprung the blow ...
Grooves form on the blightless skin
It's strong and firm but not improved
Yet in the scars there can be found kin
It was tried yet craving for more
Through the suspicions unjustified
That something wicked has come to bore
A hole in the crevices of its hide
But in the wake of the storm
The slaughter soon took form
A soul stripped of its sacred hold
And it trips, it kneels, ready to fold
No illness came to bring it low
But mere vainglorious pride
From inward sprung the blow ...

Eyes
When televisions first became household objects,
some people were scared to undress in front of them,
the convex and glaucomic eye staring,
pervert cyclops, invader in the living room.
These days of course the eyes are much smaller,
rectangular, and with us at all times, not just
when mother’s home with fish-and-chips to eat before
a black-and-white broadcast. Eyes follow us about.
When I was young and gay, and gay, the unrestricted
internet reached out with slimy hands and claimed
a lot of naive boys and girls, the eyes ...

Narcissist
An obsession of myself
Gold in my eyes
My appearance speaks to no one but me
I can't feel anything
Without being recognized
I need this in my life
Dominated by my ego is no lie
Gold in my eyes
My appearance speaks to no one but me
I can't feel anything
Without being recognized
I need this in my life
Dominated by my ego is no lie

That's All That Matters
He avoids big women, tall women
They scare the shit out of him
They make him feel like he has a small dick
He imagines fucking one and being able to hear his dick rattle around in there
The sound of something disappearing
Like a rock being thrown down a very deep well
This deep abyss, all consuming
He avoids them like the plague
Mostly they make him feel like a small man
He likes little women
Because, they can't wrap their hand around his arm, then he knows that he's in charge
He feels good when he's in charge
That's all that matters...
They scare the shit out of him
They make him feel like he has a small dick
He imagines fucking one and being able to hear his dick rattle around in there
The sound of something disappearing
Like a rock being thrown down a very deep well
This deep abyss, all consuming
He avoids them like the plague
Mostly they make him feel like a small man
He likes little women
Because, they can't wrap their hand around his arm, then he knows that he's in charge
He feels good when he's in charge
That's all that matters...

A Coronation
A 170 Million Dollar Scheme
A thin skinned con man's wet dream
With Sycophants that will kiss his ring and @ss
while dining on Pheasant under glass
There will be bowing and boot licking
while plotting against the left and on them tricking
Men in tux's and women in ball gowns
waiting for 1/21st for Trump to release the hounds
The 1% will celebrate in this way
awaiting another big payday
The poor and middle class
will wait to see which programs DOGE will slash
On...

Propaganda
Make America Great Again is that same tired old line
that I ain't buying this time
Selling us another bill of goods
while people go hungry, homeless and shot at in our hoods
Poisoning, land theft. rape and murder are the real parts of the story
of America's so-called glory
We have a 34 count Felon as President Elect
come on now y'all what the heck
The MSM would have you believe a Zebra is a Panda
bc they have sold out and want you to fall for Right Wing-Propaganda
that I ain't buying this time
Selling us another bill of goods
while people go hungry, homeless and shot at in our hoods
Poisoning, land theft. rape and murder are the real parts of the story
of America's so-called glory
We have a 34 count Felon as President Elect
come on now y'all what the heck

Autistic Genius
Autistic Genius
He’s A Genius not against you and me
He’s a Genius I can’t touch with a thought
He’s a Genius solving human problems
He’s a Genius no one saw
He’s the Genius that lives in all of us
He’s the Genius being bullied upon
He’s a Genius different autistic superhero
Guess somewhere late at night think about
Before we lay down to bed and dream asleep
He’s the genius of you and me
Autistic and proud as shit
Sensitive brain wired a little different ...

Lips and Aura … Come Closer Babe
Let’s face it
I got it
You want it
It’s ok
Holidays are almost here
Get the real deal
Accept no substitutes
Free Delivery

I'll Play That Fiddle For You
As odd as it may seem
This reality is only a dream
Like millions of insects freezing to death
Sociopath is my mathematics
The final answer is zero
C'mon, you'd love to be the superhero
The processed foods of your labors
Have decayed into disease
And the sweat you are dripping
Is the milk you consume with ease
Pick the peddles off of my flower
I'll reveal the lies you told during the last hour
Your passion is sour
My control is power
This reality is only a dream
Like millions of insects freezing to death
Sociopath is my mathematics
The final answer is zero
C'mon, you'd love to be the superhero
The processed foods of your labors
Have decayed into disease
And the sweat you are dripping
Is the milk you consume with ease
Pick the peddles off of my flower
I'll reveal the lies you told during the last hour
Your passion is sour
My control is power
