SNAP TO. And so his eyes opened like a shock,
Like a firebrand, and they were cat eyes in the dark.
They were cat's eyes, shiny and sharp.
So into them
The stars did fall
One by one,
Tumbling through the window.
Every night, the stars
Went sliding,
Their fine, wet little points along,
Humming like tiny radiators
Of slippery stars,
Spilling over the boy as a saraband does, but jagged and molten,
Slow and almost Spanishly,
Beating rhythmic time in triplicate fantasia…

I.
I wish I was a Witch
imbued through grace
beget by the knowledge of Truth
to combat ignorance
I'd proudly proclaim the title
bowing to Mother Nature
for gifting me the moniker
of so brave the women
—maiden, mother, and crone—
who suffered under religiosity
from pointy fingers
and judgmental tongues
condemning them to death

To watch the Clear Night Sky
To watch the clear night skies, with what words and with which poem or brush can I at last shine a light on the mind of the searcher,
With what can I explicitly explain the divinity and sacredness of the stars of which cannot be seen, knowing with a depth of certainty they are there without changing the meaning,
How do I express myself when magnificence is just something wrapped in mediocrity in fair comparison, when searching to expose the truth and beauty of nature in the things that I cannot explain,
To try and explain a clear night sky, is...

Triumvirate
Inspired by the enervation of failure, so think like nobody’s watching!
I would like to think that I’d be brave enough to drink myself into the grave
An annoying tooth out of the blue, trapped in the slippery ruts of life again, and again, and again…
Never to break free? (Except in bacchanal?) Or trapped forever in the tautology of ego?
Fuck it a deep swig is needed
Reticent to the extreme of the failure I imbibe
I cannot climb into starlight when my limbs are falling past me, yet the will persists so deep within
A...

Thirty-Seven Personal Perihelion
I have lost my footing upon the bombardment from a delicate firmament, shaking my visions to the abstract core
Nauseating, precepts of spinning disc like thoughts, encroaching their conquest of yore
The headaches of scepticism come and go, yet the pulse to do, it steadies my aim
True aim
Inside my blasting eyes echo globules of adulating remissive and prerequisite, puddling comprehension
Underneath all of that in the mud and sludge, solid pillars of light bear all
Incalculable, unconquerable strength
Upon a hoary plinth...

Any Weather
Do I like better the sun?
Or do I prefer rain?
Do I prefer the sound of rain?
As it erases all my pain.
Do I prefer the sun?
Because I don't feel the need to run.
Do I like better sunny weather?
Or do I prefer any weather whatsoever?
Do I prefer drops of rain.
That dry and don't leave a stain.
The ones,that heal and soothe the soul.
Clean you when you feel foul.
The sun shines upon your face.
And looks at you in shiny grace.
While the rain caresses your face.
Rain dripping in its own...
Or do I prefer rain?
Do I prefer the sound of rain?
As it erases all my pain.
Do I prefer the sun?
Because I don't feel the need to run.
Do I like better sunny weather?
Or do I prefer any weather whatsoever?
Do I prefer drops of rain.
That dry and don't leave a stain.
The ones,that heal and soothe the soul.
Clean you when you feel foul.
The sun shines upon your face.
And looks at you in shiny grace.
While the rain caresses your face.
Rain dripping in its own...

Great Devourer
A whisper crawls through void and night
A shroud that dims the astral light
No stars can pierce its ashen veil
No beacon bright nor comet’s trail
It chokes the ether, drowns the call
The silent dread that grips them all
A psychic fog, relentless, vast
Consuming futures, devouring past
An unseen tide that swallows thought
Where hopes and dreams are bound and caught
It feasts on prayers and rends the mind
Leaving only the hollow behind
A hunger born of endless black
A ceaseless thirst that won’t retract ...
A shroud that dims the astral light
No stars can pierce its ashen veil
No beacon bright nor comet’s trail
It chokes the ether, drowns the call
The silent dread that grips them all

An unseen tide that swallows thought
Where hopes and dreams are bound and caught

Leaving only the hollow behind
A hunger born of endless black
A ceaseless thirst that won’t retract ...

Saturnine Resplendence
In silence deep, where suns are blind
The Autarch reigns with chill unkind
A sovereign of the void’s embrace
'Midst shadowed orbs and starless space
The cold dominion, vast and wide
Where planets drift and horrors bide
Unseen by light of mortal kin
The reign of shadows, dark as sin
With scepter forged in Saturn’s dread
He walks the paths where gods have bled
The ancient dark between the stars
Where silence splits like metal scars
His throne is built on nameless stone
Where time is bent, and laws dethrone ...

Origins
indecision troubles me
multifaceted like all of us
given the situation my soul has choices
avoiding the dark stuff
I try to see the light in others eyes
and if there's none
I'm not afraid I still see some value in them
I've come to calm your ire
meet with me with a sacrifice of self
your grief and emptiness flood my senses
my tears to cleanse you not of your darkness
but your guilt
we are made of flesh and blood
your soul is confused if you think you're the problem
secrets of rusted pennies
sent down...

The Moorish Lineage Of Greatness (COTS)
The beautiful footsteps of man’s presence upon God’s green earth set the atonement of his fate in motion
His dreams, his aspirations, must be comforted in the darkest hour from his soul mate soothing love potion
Sacred ears to listen and to uplift him when the downfalls of uncertainties befall his sense of insecurities spill forth in the silence of dark
The crux of his soul you rely on when it pulls you in, as he confesses to you the fortitude of his heart
In faith, he clasps your hand
