Nothing will go to waste
Welcome to my c-oven
you'll be sanctified
later on, you'll be purified
tomorrow, you'll be rectified
It's time...
it's time for the sacrifice
the sacrifice of YOU!
You wait for the cows to come home
but baby you squirm like an earthworm
sinker, hook & line
your organs we will dine
We slaughter and then we deep fry
crispy on the inner thigh
I now want more, just like a drunken whore
Like it or not,
dissected and cooked,
before you rot
Justify
Comply ...

I Will Remember Today
I think most
have walked the edge
the one separating is and isn't
a world of competing sensations
or the cloying tasteless grey
some walk the edge daily
a ritual and addiction
seeking reason
to pick up a lifetime of burdens
hoisting the weight of sin and regret
and carry it another mile
I have been this person
in many ways I still am
to live each day as the last
and in that final denial of humanity
something grows unforeseen
the flowing, caressing water
of a simple shower
the evening...

april songs: journey of life 8
april song 08—conferment
preferent the sacrifices
when the age of reason flow’rs,
for to rise above each crisis
opens new redemption doors.
in the giving and receiving,
hearts are touched and soles are healed,
as beholding is believing
and new confidence is sealed.
let the strife be no deterrent
to the questing of your dreams;
in the end, the sweet conferment
of the stimme of living streams.
though the odyssey be trying,
you shall find recurrent pause
to the weary soul relying
on the...

april songs: journey of life 6
april song 06—concupiscent
could the seed of every woman
save the seed of every man,
fate would fashion an in lieu plan
that the cosmos could not span.
for the seed of but one woman
could the serpent’s head make squash,
though the heel of this One True Man
felt a bruise—a mere wish-wash.
antecedent concupiscence
lusts the fountains of the mind,
as does consequent imprudence
leave all innocence behind.
but the vantage of the nations,
clothed with lowly righteousness,
is unmoved by mock oblations,...

april songs: journey of life 5
april song 05—infantile
thus the specimental blueprint
nurtured by umbilicus
comes to terms with awesome foot-sprint
whose Seed shall deliver us.
infantile—complete but helpless
—in the milk of human care.
shall He bloom blood-red and selfless,
with whose love none can compare?
is the crown of thorns too prickly
for the innocent of birth?
does the Cross bring death too quickly
to redeem a fallen earth?

Blood Priestess
Arrested in the dead of night
By cloaking shadows and
Swift Ferocity.
her icy grip
Sharply piercing my veins
With scalding fangs.
passionately embraced
by death and love
And The cost of pain
From her succulent Feeding
Off my life blood.
A lustful torment I can’t and will not deny.
Now Trapped within her soulless
shoebox
My breath receding
Finding comfort in the darkness
with no holes for breathing.
I am reborn.
My once familiar soul has been
discarded and torn
I am drained hollow. ...

Death Metal Lullaby
At night
I hear death metal
Playing faintly in the distance
Maybe from the downstairs apartment
Or maybe from the deepest expanse
Of my ignored existence
I’ve never been a death metal
Type of gal
I’ve always sought out smooth
Rhythms keeping their balanced tempos
And safe chords
Never been one to step on someone’s toes
Or argue
Or stand up for myself
A people pleasing monster
Denying only myself
So maybe at night
Is when my body rebels
Screaming into the night ...

Do Not Cry
When it's time for me to leave...
For my body do not grieve...
My soul has been lifted to the Heaven's on high...
So for my body do not cry...
For my body do not grieve...
My soul has been lifted to the Heaven's on high...
So for my body do not cry...

Equivalency
Everything bears a cost,
Not merely a price to be tossed.
For every gain we seek to host,
Something else must be lost.
To earn the coin, we toil,
Sweat upon the soil.
For respect to be our lot,
We must act in ways that are not forgot.
To hold goods within our grasp,
We part with coins that clasp.
When gains are made, yet nothing's spent,
The scale tips – it's not what nature meant.
For each thing gained without a toll,
Disrupts the balance of the whole.
We must reckon with the cost,
For nothing comes...

Nancy Got Kicked Off The Force
Nancy
got kicked off
the force
because she posed nude
for Playboy just like
Barbara Schantz and
Carol
Shaya had
done then.

Silent Shadows of A Castle's Dance
In the biggest ballroom that once held the loudest Galas.
Into the biggest pocket of time where echoes surround us.
Empty and abandoned this castle is a lot like most people.
Happy, full of life, and glowing as the days go by.
Until one small tick causes a ripple in time.
A place that used to hold so much management.
Now so empty and left abandoned and stranded.
If you think about it, this castle could represent my love.
The love I’ve had for you that I can’t contain very well.
I’ve tried to push you away but god it hurts like...
