the fear
The fear
Looking out, the day was dazzling with deep shadows
in the corners and under dead street lamps.
Reticent lips exploded gave birth to a scream which
Shattered the forenoon, only white heat remained.
Window glass dripped became petrified like
were fish eyes glared as the day was punished down an abyss.
Of black, shiny boots trampled all fragment.
But the fiend’s eye was forever glued to the inside
on my mind.
Looking out, the day was dazzling with deep shadows
in the corners and under dead street lamps.
Reticent lips exploded gave birth to a scream which
Shattered the forenoon, only white heat remained.
Window glass dripped became petrified like
were fish eyes glared as the day was punished down an abyss.
Of black, shiny boots trampled all fragment.
But the fiend’s eye was forever glued to the inside
on my mind.

Scorpio Moon
I close my eyes
As your hands slide in mine
Let me love you, dear
You whisper into my ears
Pulling me closer than before
Dancing under a scorpio moon
Pink and bright and high in the night
Your lips brush my neck
Those hands of yours on my hips
A gliding swing through fireflies
Laughter staining the air around us
Such a perfect moment in a dream
As your hands slide in mine
Let me love you, dear
You whisper into my ears
Pulling me closer than before
Dancing under a scorpio moon
Pink and bright and high in the night
Your lips brush my neck
Those hands of yours on my hips
A gliding swing through fireflies
Laughter staining the air around us
Such a perfect moment in a dream

Mystery_Moon
A waxing gibbous moon -
I stand. a circle of stones.
Heart. pulsating Eyes. perception
Moonlit clouds drift overhead.
I breath deeply. My thoughts of you.
Wondering what you've been through.
The moon seems to speak.
The cool crisp air on my face.
I stand. a circle of stones.
Heart. pulsating Eyes. perception
Moonlit clouds drift overhead.
I breath deeply. My thoughts of you.
Wondering what you've been through.
The moon seems to speak.
The cool crisp air on my face.

Ghost trance
euphoric hallucinations
mediumistic bird song hymnally calling
governing the universe
preforming mantic sacrificial art
oak fingers have grown from your hands
sparrows live in your cherub chest
weaving tincture fingertipped light
O spirit
haven hearth
I sail
Atlantis
Lemuria
Avalon
they have come
to take me
home
Atlantis
Avalon
Lemuria
I sail
hearth
haven
transformation
unwoven
from
flapping
wind
cries

Letting go...
..stained sins gone to ashes
inhaling sweet acetone
with the wetness of a kiss
silently screaming
rigor's Mortis of death's delight
partly lonely, partly stoned
letting go of the lights...
inhaling sweet acetone
with the wetness of a kiss
silently screaming
rigor's Mortis of death's delight
partly lonely, partly stoned
letting go of the lights...

Cigarette sparrow SIN
Turn the first page in a daze
Don't attempt to resolve the rage
Don't attempt to dissolve
this disquiet riot.....
We're here to amaze in this maze
New purpose, New phrase.
Unending praise........

Nocturnal Fragrance
Undressing night listening to dreams
like butterflies touching my skin
voices whispering of iniquities
inhaling musk of eternal spring
with wings of hunger
beneath a closed eye kiss
leaving prints on the nightshade
undressing night listening to dreams
like butterflies touching my skin
voices whispering of iniquities
inhaling musk of eternal spring
with wings of hunger
beneath a closed eye kiss
leaving prints on the nightshade
undressing night listening to dreams

Sacred seclusion
Masked flowers raise their head
when I summon moons
my introversion
shrined upon my face
slightly seen
through my veiled veins
streams each light
I am voile
brocade
my tapestry
awakens
my cologne
distinctly robed
timidly tracing
myriads unseen
I am
reclusive sunrise
come
find
me
when I summon moons
my introversion
shrined upon my face
slightly seen
through my veiled veins
streams each light
I am voile
brocade
my tapestry
awakens
my cologne
distinctly robed
timidly tracing
myriads unseen
I am
reclusive sunrise
come
find
me

Life is...
Dark is not my Moriarty
the age of Methuselah
or Ichabod's Crane itinerary
dark is the Genesis of my Hell
dripping from Ockham's razor
like life's Metamucil
the age of Methuselah
or Ichabod's Crane itinerary
dark is the Genesis of my Hell
dripping from Ockham's razor
like life's Metamucil

A Chameleon
..a chatter is born from inside my soul
opening my eyes on sleeveless pale
as my pen goes weak listening to my echos
screaming my obscurity in the night of the tallow
but life is a candle with a short wick
and death is a chameleon changing colors...
opening my eyes on sleeveless pale
as my pen goes weak listening to my echos
screaming my obscurity in the night of the tallow
but life is a candle with a short wick
and death is a chameleon changing colors...
