Strategy
There are always decisions to be made
Temptations loom
and resistance is futile
I choose to give in
to that which threatens only me
Save my strength
to resist
that which would spill over onto you
It's the closest to balance
I can achieve

a watchman
when
a daughter
asked to his father
who was
guarding the buildings,,,
""papa...don't you get sleep?
n he answered,
I don't sleep
because
dreams remain awake
in your smiling eyes..."

Poetic Rebirth
i love the fields that stretch to where the eye fades
and the thick remote forest that gives emerald shades
with oaken branches, and wild hard fruit, heavily laden
where the wolf hides, and shepherds watch over the herds
i am at home,when i roam the flat green wheat fields
sizzling locusts make them ripe, while the sun gilds
and they stretch to horizon line, like a green carpet
that sways to every winds breathing, smooth like velvet
fair and meek is the wind of the hilly rocky mountains
where i haunt the place, homely...

The Long Dance from Midnight
the mountains was young as the pristine earth
in ancient times' sepia lights lustily glow
Shamans chants their songs with nature
each breath of air waking the spirits, flowed
the rhythm of gongs mesmerising
the dance of the Shamans enchanting
the shrieked answers from the mountains bone chilling
nature's spirit sings out in eerie voices
the spirits coalesced with the Shamans
a painful grouping of the supernatural
with the natural scrapping flesh to bones
as barbed wire wrapped around the mortal coil
and then they...

Sacrificial Repossession
On the cross Jesus gave his life with his sacrifice
But motherfuckas are still acting a fool and not living right,
“Every walk of life is doing the same backwards ass shit
On the real he should make a special appearance and cleanse this bitch,
“His sacrifice was for all either they were evil or good
Look at the fucked up world now, you can consider it one big hood,
“Humanity have the nerve to want to travel the stars
But like caged animals we will be kept within our Earthly bars,
“Jesus should take back what he has given...

Spy fiction in reverse

An underground realm
Peaceful claustrophobia-inducing
When considered metaphorically and literally,...
It is an unreal memory... embedded on my memory,
A storage space for computers,...
For isolationists in the wrong place at the wrong time
Developing skills and creative sensibilities
A repository of all secrets in a kind of a human time-capsule
This site could be just 100 meters away from my house.
So somewhere out there...
There had to be an interesting room...
Where I watched *La Femme Nikita* between...

Atmospheric Exuberance
Into the swirling seas,
Spiraling colors designate waves.
Light and dark imagined,
Gathering common hearts,
The rainbow's pale eyes
Landed over seven times,
Global navigation.
Denied purpose and truth,
No citation for an anomaly,
Naked human wonder.
Stability fallen,
Sensuality aloft.
Gauging the balance,
Sacrifice is forgotten,
Traded for sin.
Explore the rain,
Deep shades of depression.
Chasing the wind's voice,
Haunted...

blood and gun smoke
She stood fearless
temporarily bulletproof
gun smoke lingering
as death awaited her sacrifice
of blood freely given
a one woman army
dying for her homeland
temporarily bulletproof
gun smoke lingering
as death awaited her sacrifice
of blood freely given
a one woman army
dying for her homeland

New Property Of That One Outlaw Motorcycle Club
Ellie woke up so hungover.
She sees a dragon tattooed on her.
She belongs to the Shoguns.
She sees a dragon tattooed on her.
She belongs to the Shoguns.

Cast Upon Love’s Pyre (Nonet)
slipping past the guards of apathy
I steal your cool indifference,
casting it upon Love’s pyre
lest we remain frozen;
I give my heart’s key
to lock away
your cold feet,
tempting
fate
I steal your cool indifference,
casting it upon Love’s pyre
lest we remain frozen;
I give my heart’s key
to lock away
your cold feet,
tempting

Merry Christmas
Everyone wants to live forever
Trying to avoid the great unknown
Castles of silver, streets of gold
The doubts permeate your mind
Was I good enough to make it in
Or was my life to abundant with sin
Will I rise up to the heavens
Or fall to that boiling lake of fire
Will I come back as a butterfly
Or a pig fattened for slaughter
Maybe there's nothing
Spirits floating around with
Zero, zilch, nada to do
Or maybe I could be stuck in purgatory
With noone to free me
If I am reincarnated
I'd want to be a cow in...
