The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
And we found each other on the streets of Prague in the midst of a spring that rivaled that of ancient Ireland. Yet it was not a season such as Beltane but rather freedom from the polished boots of the Red Star. But when the Soviet tanks rolled in liberty was the rose that found refuge in our boudoir where hearts still blossomed while youth festooned rifle barrels with the flower of peace.

First, They Came for the Jews
I find it frustrating that I have to hide my identity.
When my gut says my tribe is plenty.
To raise my hand affects my posterity,
If I speak the truth in an academic community.
The bigots and fascist will condemn me,
Simply because I believe in national security.
In a land where you can say, "Go kill yourself" freely.
So long as you are in the liberal social monopoly.
I'm sorry but Biden's economy has me unable to eat,
And mortgage payments keep...
When my gut says my tribe is plenty.
To raise my hand affects my posterity,
If I speak the truth in an academic community.
The bigots and fascist will condemn me,
Simply because I believe in national security.
In a land where you can say, "Go kill yourself" freely.
So long as you are in the liberal social monopoly.
I'm sorry but Biden's economy has me unable to eat,
And mortgage payments keep...

unintentional rebel
I sometimes feel I'm an earthborn paradox
an entity of murky origins
where does one fit
when mind & heart conflict
trying to exist in endless battle
loading ammunition in a shotgun missing one barrel
fighting demons with my teeth
when a pistol might serve better
eternal servant to my internal addict
craving escape from this perpetual struggle
when the best I can get is a thin beam
seen through a crack...a sliver
like light strained through frost
it's glow is lost in the maelstrom of thought
thick with society's...

reaper
I knew you'd be here
always the dormant shadow
casting a constant reminder
over everything I know
a trail of rose petals
leads me to face the open mouth
of a cold gun barrel against my lips
awaking in sweat at the pull of the trigger
follow digital breadcrumbs
to find the weasel escaped the pen
I'm in arms again from the warning sent
my nightmare guardian
it's been years since then
honestly, I don't recall most of it
twisted pleasure a mutation
of a bottom floor, two-bedroom canary
you...
always the dormant shadow
casting a constant reminder
over everything I know
a trail of rose petals
leads me to face the open mouth
of a cold gun barrel against my lips
awaking in sweat at the pull of the trigger
follow digital breadcrumbs
to find the weasel escaped the pen
I'm in arms again from the warning sent
my nightmare guardian
it's been years since then
honestly, I don't recall most of it

of a bottom floor, two-bedroom canary

Mirages In The Wind (Heavenly Wind Songs-COTS)
Hopes and dreams cannot be contained by the weeping unto thy moon
Lust unto the realms of the dark only abuses self when deafness follows, empty cries heard in the swoon
Watch the shadows of the crown to know within womanhood, love must be given unto self first
The freedom is in the movement not to allow anyone to box the human spirit and devalue its worth
Be the nurturer unto the soul of Mother Nature, her tears are the only ones unto mankind to heal the earth
It is disheartened for anyone to view this realm we call life with childlike eyes ...
Lust unto the realms of the dark only abuses self when deafness follows, empty cries heard in the swoon
Watch the shadows of the crown to know within womanhood, love must be given unto self first
The freedom is in the movement not to allow anyone to box the human spirit and devalue its worth
Be the nurturer unto the soul of Mother Nature, her tears are the only ones unto mankind to heal the earth
It is disheartened for anyone to view this realm we call life with childlike eyes ...

To see love win
I cannot change the system from within,
so why stay here, stuck in the status quo?
I know I might not live to see love win.
When frightened minds see human love as sin
and power players change rules as they go,
it’s risky changing systems from within.
I feel the judgement even from my kin,
who say that change is moving far too slow
and don’t have time to wait to see love win.
But change by force will only change the spin,
as new oppressors rise up from below.
To end the cycle, hearts must change within.
...

Leaders of the Real World
"Your children have grown.
And you never made your wife moan."
-----Ms. Regina Spektor.
Oh but to sleep.
Our maiden arms keeps us awake.
Regina Spektor,makes for delicious debate,
on what makes. Her music so great.
Necropolis.
Bubble gum photos,
of our creamy white tongues on tongues.
Contagious dancing lovers.
Time has frozen.
Forgotten about.
Stuck in democratic,
Budget Biden's.
Slumped,
Over Trumps.
Necropolis.
Your time is done.
...
And you never made your wife moan."

red petal flowers
muddled,
red petal
flowers
bright
and dried,
using
the paint
from
her veins.

All my ai and Peggy Martin
My thesaurus and my dictionaries
serve as artificial intelligence,
my mute aide-memoire spells and solves the quizies
then by magic my word grasp is, immense...
And for guys getting in books can be, hot
to spread wide the covers 'gainst the stiff spine
try that with 'lectrics to see what you've got
a solid bet, a call to, nine, nine, nine...
Let the lazy ones dumb themselves right down
with pretty pictures captured on the net,
and a dozen words which didn't bring a frown
of concentration,...

Carnage
A war is coming and
I mean to break the serenity.
The bearer of uncomfortable truths
here to crush the status quo.
Out there I left no one behind,
in here I will leave no one unturned.
From the battlefield to the boardroom
words now my weapon.
It makes no difference, the outcome
will be the same.
Carnage.
I mean to break the serenity.
The bearer of uncomfortable truths
here to crush the status quo.
Out there I left no one behind,
in here I will leave no one unturned.
From the battlefield to the boardroom
words now my weapon.
It makes no difference, the outcome
will be the same.
Carnage.

What Would Orwell Say
Docile and tame
our unending shame
that some regard as fame
homogenized
pasteurized
and sanitized
the Animal Farm of existence
.
What would Orwell say
groaning in his grave
to see his cautionary tale unfold
in a world grown cold
restricted and controlled
-
Stop waiting to be told
safe within the fold
placidly living on the wold
Baa-ing like frightened ewes
is this the life you choose
-
