Ishtar's Feast
It's all for Ishtar, the sacrifice will soon be complete
He needs to find a virgin, for his Egyptian bloody feast
He's gonna rip out her tongue, slice off her face, gouge out her eyes
The blood will continue to flow
When it drips from her beautiful mouth
Getting ready for the ghastly blood feast
He's obsessed with her death, obsessed with her blood, obsessed with her demise,
a great big blood feast
He's gonna cut out her heart, rip out her spleen, pull out her liver
the blood keeps flowing
All that pure blood
It's so...

a great big blood feast
He's gonna cut out her heart, rip out her spleen, pull out her liver
the blood keeps flowing

The Spider and her lover the Fly
Spider
I have been sitting here for hours, spinning my silken threads, waiting for him to fly by.
He has promised me countless numbers of times that tonight will be the night that he will visit me. I made sure that the threads were glistening in their finest diamonds and my legs. Oh my legs are as sexy as can be. There are eight long and lean made for flexibility. To entice and invite him into my web, you see.
Fly
How do I get wrapped up with these crazy dames? I mean I flew past one time and she caught me. The romp with the twists and the turns....

unconditionally yours
in desolation, I weep inside
all my love for you
there couldn't; be another
it matters not how dark you are
I will still reach up and choose the same star
within my memories, I hold true
I'm not giving up on you
you listen to all my complaints
tears come only for you
don't say goodbye
you've done your best with my mind
listening to internal chatter must drain you
when do you rest?
I must confess my thoughts don't stop
suffering is a part of us
my heart aches when yours does
I am so insensitive ...
all my love for you
there couldn't; be another
it matters not how dark you are
I will still reach up and choose the same star
within my memories, I hold true
I'm not giving up on you

tears come only for you

Stars
( after Robert Frost )
I saw them once, at first light
glistening upon water --
drifting aimlessly, shooting ducks
ignorant of slaughter --
Their light-force dwindling rapidly;
I wanted to warn them, Run! --
Sunrise will assimilate you!
But, my heart held back words
They appeared content, trusting fate;
I could do no more than watch --
suddenly realizing Death
is full payment for Life
What was it I wished for
( while ignorant of sorrow )
as they plummeted...
I saw them once, at first light
glistening upon water --
drifting aimlessly, shooting ducks
ignorant of slaughter --
Their light-force dwindling rapidly;

They appeared content, trusting fate;
I could do no more than watch --
suddenly realizing Death

What was it I wished for

The Woman You See
Ever the happy-go-lucky child
Idyllic upbringing into womanhood
Strong and self assured
Or
The façade of such a person
Checking off each passing day
Akin to the doomed Iphigenia
With no
fairy godmother
to
rescue
her

CREATURES OF HABITS
As we exchange our own personal chains of thoughts and insight, into this senseless mindless trap between the lines of your own personal. REALITY of what is right and wrong 🤔 For have you ever been in a relationship or situation, that you have felt like a outer experience. FOR your thoughts and insight and imagination. 🤨 Become slowly something that you have or not never had to expected. TO ever happens to just you yet there is no longer a exception. TO the rules of what is known of your own personal life. 😞 AS people are creatures of habits. For a snake sheds it's...

IMPOTENCY OF LIES
TRUTH
I've never forgotten
the lessons I learned from
the Dharma taught by
Tibetan Buddist priests
in my quest for enlightenment
and reality.
I've recently been resurrecting
and meditating on a principle
related to Yin-Yang, the power
and role of opposites:
There is light and darkness,
Day and night,
Good and evil.
Truth and lies.
Etched in my cranium
are the words from a
teacher:
"A lie has never liberated
anyone, it may make it seem
to be so for a moment, but
in the end, will be...

Thanatomaniacs
Too much they think about impending death
when they might instead embrace life and love
just like the poets do with every breath
that all life lovers have ever heard of.
So close your ears to the man with the gun
who prattles on about caliber force.
He! He...is the devil we should shun
and all of his weapon loving discourse
confirming to us that he thinks it's neat
to blast his brothers into kingdom dumb
as smoking piles of once human meat
certain to upset his once happy mum!
Life by and for the sword is...

rues of my maddening hue
trails unto thus beckoning
brook- I drown in melancholic
ecstasy, freeing your demons

Letter to the Martyr in the Eye of the Hurricane
In the scars you carry
I see the story of courage.
You are the altar where bravery is sacrificed,
where the soul rises in sacrifice.
Each wound is a verse, each mark, a poem.
The pain you endured is the ink that writes your epic.
Your hands, once firm, now trembling,
held the sword of justice.
Your eyes, once full of hope,
they saw the world break into pieces.
And still, you remain standing,
rising like a beacon in the darkness.
Martyr's body,
you are the silent testimony of the struggle.
Your veins are rivers...
I see the story of courage.
You are the altar where bravery is sacrificed,
where the soul rises in sacrifice.
Each wound is a verse, each mark, a poem.
The pain you endured is the ink that writes your epic.
Your hands, once firm, now trembling,
held the sword of justice.
Your eyes, once full of hope,
they saw the world break into pieces.
And still, you remain standing,
rising like a beacon in the darkness.
Martyr's body,
you are the silent testimony of the struggle.
Your veins are rivers...

Serengeti Love
We raced as wilderbeast in our quest for life or death
Captures captivated, minute seizures resulting in death
With a poisonous taste on our tongue that so many had left
We prayed for both the crocodile's dying and for their health
Muddied are the streams of life as they are flooding
The deterring detergents of existence are pulsing and white water blooding
Get with the pain I need it savagely sharp and intense
I need to feed from the destruction, I need the piles immense
Please interweave bodies with disease, mud packed with hated seed ...
Captures captivated, minute seizures resulting in death

Get with the pain I need it savagely sharp and intense
