Warmth
I don't know what's about the feeling.
Of warmth that comforts us and gets us reeling.
Maybe it's the way it reminds you of a friend's warm hug.
Or your own child,gently catching your attention by tugging on your shirt.
The warmth of sunshine rays.
On hot summer beach days.
The dear childhood days when you used to play.
And the times you would create.
The memories you hold onto.
And the upcoming of fate.
The warm sensation warmth does create.
Sometimes it can soothe the soul.
Or chase away any negative emotion...
Of warmth that comforts us and gets us reeling.
Maybe it's the way it reminds you of a friend's warm hug.
Or your own child,gently catching your attention by tugging on your shirt.
The warmth of sunshine rays.
On hot summer beach days.
The dear childhood days when you used to play.
And the times you would create.
The memories you hold onto.
And the upcoming of fate.
The warm sensation warmth does create.
Sometimes it can soothe the soul.
Or chase away any negative emotion...

Chapter 1
I
Looking glass of ink abyss,
mansion of dark expansions,
mind - a dangerous design
inside of space and time.
Prayers in layers of smoke
into sky.
II
It’s not the end you see,
it’s only the end if we
let it be.
Words from a movie:
Dancer in the Dark.
Bjork plays a single mother
in an impossible situation
where she is forced to
kill a crooked cop.
(Perhaps an oxymoron.)
This is the quote...

Chapter 1
I
Strange signs and wonders,
everywhere in my life, lately.
Real high magic synchronicities,
inspiring a belief in such things.
Just yesterday something of a
summoned reality arose, merely
from self manifestation, shit
like The Secret…
Real spooky shit…
Like a struck chord of an instrument
of 3am strangeness.
II
Tonight, I suppose I was keeping
an extra distance from potential
epicenters of light or anything else,
a fierce spirit in the night,...

Chapter 13
I
Skies clearing – Stars peering.
Blood moon in the sky...
An entire circumference
of creatures drawing circles,
squares, triangles and strange
symbols in the Earth,
generating energetic constructs
for ceremonial sacrifice.
After the last symbol is drawn,
each construct rises into a
pyramid structure, a circle of
ascendant pyramids, at first
static, then materializing into
solid structures.

The Monster Attached To Me Anime
There once was a girl named Alia. She was the world's princess. The earth's crown. She was the only girl with bare feet and the same long white long T shirt dress like Samara's. No one gave her any shoes because she was poor and downtrodden. Everyone looked down upon her.
She had a horrid, black monster attached to her, with terrifying teeth as sharp as blades. No one wanted to be around her because of it. The witch Margaret Rose had cursed her with this. Forever all her days, she'd walked the earth alone. Her tears would fill the oceans. Her pure energy would keep the flowers...

Cerberus
If i were to obtain a pet dog
The best deal around
Was buy one
Get two free!
All in one package
Instead of a four-legged friend
A three-headed Cerberus fiend!
This wouldn't work for me though
I prefer cats!
And imagine patting your pet on the heads?
I have only two hands
I'd worry at the head not patted
Would it get jealous
And perhaps eat me?

Writing Books
When you write a book using the feather of a hen.
Dip it in ink or use a fountain pen.
You can write whole new worlds.
Like magic,fantasize.
With your pure imagination.
And before your eyes.
The words begin to come alive and dance.
Like a romance novel with a chance.
An adventure plot in advance.
Or a comedy with a glance.
It's like your pen holds power.
As beautiful as a freshly bloomed flower.
The smell of a new book is one you cannot resist.
With a new plot,a new cover.
And the memory of the plot...
Dip it in ink or use a fountain pen.
You can write whole new worlds.
Like magic,fantasize.
With your pure imagination.
And before your eyes.
The words begin to come alive and dance.
Like a romance novel with a chance.
An adventure plot in advance.
Or a comedy with a glance.
It's like your pen holds power.
As beautiful as a freshly bloomed flower.
The smell of a new book is one you cannot resist.
With a new plot,a new cover.
And the memory of the plot...

Mirror Tango Twists of Kitty & Fang the Clown
Mirror Tango Twists of Kitty & Fang the Clown
(Concept by Dan Stafford
& Dialogue by John Hindle)
Kitty and Joke live in an alternate universe on the other side of a set of fun house mirrors in a creepy carnival.
Kitty tells Joke, “Hey this place is creepy, like the fun house mirrors at the amusement park I went too as a kid. The reflections in the looking glasses look like my multiple personalities.”
“Who are those other ladies in your psyche?”
“Let me introduce...

Yesterday's Dream
I knew him once upon a dream.
A dream like you have never seen.
And so have I.
But it seemed peaceful,with a light blue sky.
I saw a girl in that dream.
She was doubtful of all she's ever been.
She says,my pain I don't want you to carry.
I don't want you to worry,I want you to be merry.
The way she spoke in this vivid dream.
Like there is more to her than others have seen.
She says,but what if you don't like me?
What if you dislike the real me?
What if you don't like my flaws?
That stand out...
A dream like you have never seen.
And so have I.
But it seemed peaceful,with a light blue sky.

Jackie's Book of Shadows (CH11)
Chapter 11
I
Following an hour long hike,
through sand dunes, by the
light of the moon, the ladies
arrive at The Field of
Moonlight, where there is
set up: A wicker man.
“You see that wicker man.
That’s where you’re goin,
little man.”
Caramelized air saturates his
bulging eyeballs, mind
beginning to slip over the
edge of sanity, cold sweat
upon brow, quivering upon
entry into epicenters of
hopelessness.
Framed by wicker in the
effigy of a man.

Chapter 12
I
Pointing to different parts
of the tree lined parameter,
an assortment of creatures
begins to emerge.
Chucky…
The Leprechaun…
Batman…
The gremlins…
Each stepping forth, and upon
closer look have implements
for killing.
“I also brought these guys.”
A gang of Cipheric magicians,
emerging from the trees,
begins walking across the field.
The sight opens up a second
stream of urine, down Jumper’s
leg.
