To Be Silent
The shrapnel turned the dust and dirt to fractals.
Smoke looked like smog or miasmic wastrels
Of demigod dogged darkened ragged shrapnels.
Where every being walks like solitary mad generals.
In the complex construct of pain induced panopticon.
Take no prisoners and cut throat in a gravitron
Centrifuge of madness deluge as infernal composition.
Blood and tears flowed like a clockwork cruvy creation.
Where you must just walk and make the wheel spin.
Days & nights-nights & days in-sequence-in
Disorder...

Blood and tears flowed like a clockwork cruvy creation.

Days & nights-nights & days in-sequence-in

To Will
On our first date we walked around a graveyard (Her idea.)
Engaged in underground conversation.
She was smart, wise, and beautiful.
Is that enough of a description?
I certainly wondered how I had captivated her.
And I definitely felt the fear, at first.
(There are just some things that you just must do.)
She said that she was built like a Campbells Soup can.
She always did say: Why settle when you can select.
I picked her up in my arms, to test the theory.
(She did have a compact body mass ratio.) ...

To Dare
There is a train trestle
that crossed a black river
at the edges of my childhood home.
(near a smog factory
waste dump)
There was strange graffiti.
including the word SCHNACKI
so very provocative in it’s mystery.
(painted by hash flayers
or opium eaters?)
And tags that could be deemed: Satanic.
(I’d very much like to hear
you pronounce Satanic)
Years later I returned there
And it was the same
Only dark and abandoned
I had a bottle of liquor in one hand
And a lit...

To Know
In the beginning there was clouds.
And your mind was a manorial -
Or perhaps a castle…
Located in the encoding of destiny.
Mine… located on a promontory.
A thousand leagues above the sea.
A castle of many rooms -
As solemn silent as crypts & tombs.
Each wall contained paintings
Framed by space
Super-sensory colors emanating
Out into the space
Some were empty and awaiting
In the ink blot space
For the illuminations & knowings
I invented a pair of midnight wings
To visit far...

The Criminal
I have been trained
or indoctrinated
or…
Manipulated
to
perceive
that everything
I do
or…
Think
is wrong
or…
incorrect
possibly illegal
and
I am a criminal
And you know what happens to criminals
or indoctrinated
or…
Manipulated
to
perceive
that everything
I do
or…
Think
is wrong
or…
incorrect
possibly illegal
and
I am a criminal
And you know what happens to criminals

Black Hole Vision
Black Hole Sun
I
As my eyes traced the contrasts of depth and height
I followed the fractals right
Through crevices of light
To the blue-blue sky above.
My love… Is it okay if I whisper to nature today that you sometimes cross my mind
From time to time?
You were symbols of completion and an exalted design
And the very nature of me at the time
Or my world as a hieroglyphic sign
As I followed the meditation from that time to this time
II
A re-entry into the world
My feet touched down...

Aeternities
The manipulation
In society
Is a sublimation
Of poison
Poisoning voices
Of spoken
& written
Words
Seeking to break away from the herds
Of black shepherds
Bleak swords
Of double speak metaphors
Under
The surface
Needing to be swept away in tempests
All I desire is the antinomies
Of those
Frightful physiognomies
In those
Hermetic personalities
At those
Dislocated localities
For those
Spiraling swirling Aeternities
Swirling Spiraling Aeternities.

? As Spiral
The mind as a world.
A world comprised of worlds.
Sprung forth from an infinite vast
Unsolvable incalculable.
The mind as a host
To hallways and spiraling stairways
Of ghosts.
Cyclical life cycles and spirals.
The sweet madness that swirls.
The fine wine upon lips unfurls.
Over the brow in stains
No refrain from contemplations
Of all that is gone and all that remains
And all that exists in eternal internal questions
Is the mind shaped by the world

The New Hymns
Space capacitates
The origin
Of the lightening and the rain.
There is a phenomenology
Above and beyond
Phenomenon.
Extending without and within our perception.
Into the mind
And the interworking design
The place to seek
The place to find
The meaning of your tears
That call forth and contain
Oceanic symphonic plethoras
Of time and information
Maybe your tears are those of your forefathers
And foremothers mothers

LET IT ALL OUT!
Verse 1
Am all set in a disco..
What a mind blowing sound flow..
Let it out..
Armors on point..
Let it out..
Barriers on flood..
Let it out..
Carriers no choice..
Let it out..
Dummies now go dumb..
Let it out..
All my five gears done wore..
Fellas up front in systole..
Fellas back here in diastole..
When I set my foot on turbo..
You will see town square don't blow..
Taj mahal doesn't flow..
Even the Pentagon don't poll..
The pores on...

Deflower Me
I blossom
only for you...
Unfolding these soft petals
in sweet surrender
I unfurl to bare my treasure
Just for you, my connoisseur
Enter me
O'honey bee
Deflower me
Saccharine nectar I offer
'come ', oh please 'come'
Leave me
quivering in ecstasy
as you
defile me
Suck me, oh, suck me hard
until I wilt
with pleasure.
