Love and Cancer
Now in this lonely room
Which held such moments in history
Embedded not in my mind or in my heart
But in the very walls that now bleed yellow
No longer pure and young
Ready to take on the arbitrary lives of those who ignore it's beauty
It is now, in this wasted space
That I see how we ended up in our state
Comfort grew to stagnant lies
Of which only I believed
I take this journey now
Alone as every person in existence
Treading into waters deemed unsafe
Monsters lurking in the distance
And hiding behind small rocks as if to mock me...
Which held such moments in history
Embedded not in my mind or in my heart
But in the very walls that now bleed yellow
No longer pure and young
Ready to take on the arbitrary lives of those who ignore it's beauty
It is now, in this wasted space
That I see how we ended up in our state
Comfort grew to stagnant lies
Of which only I believed
I take this journey now
Alone as every person in existence
Treading into waters deemed unsafe
Monsters lurking in the distance
And hiding behind small rocks as if to mock me...

the fallen
THE FALLEN (CHAPTER ONE)
I used to believe. I used to be a man of Faith. I saw miracles that defied logic. I knew there was a God and enjoyed such wonders. I am not sure how I got from there to here. Perhaps you can work it out as I tell you our story.
We are the company of "the fallen", that is what we call ourselves. We are the super heroes in this part of the world, and yes that part is our fantasy. You out there in reality may not understand us, but that does not matter to us anyway, as we live our own ways, and with the chaos in your reality it has become ever easier to do so. ...

A Monoku
Swathed in light and graced with brightness.... The shy comet peep from the sky.

A voyage of the moon : the Triumph of Death
In the early morning hours hawthorn
a river of choppy clouds
flowed
from the skies suicide
and the moon
was the most beautiful drowning victim
you were the bright morning star
a lioness
seeking someone to devour
calm
quiet
not like human flesh drums
skins of war beating
but turned auburn leaves falling
at a funeral for a friend
mine was the bully
and so the moon escaped the clutches of Death
gunning for her
high above German cathedrals
Kyoto gravestones
walking...
a river of choppy clouds
flowed
from the skies suicide
and the moon
was the most beautiful drowning victim
you were the bright morning star
a lioness
seeking someone to devour
calm
quiet
not like human flesh drums
skins of war beating
but turned auburn leaves falling
at a funeral for a friend
mine was the bully
and so the moon escaped the clutches of Death
gunning for her
high above German cathedrals
Kyoto gravestones
walking...

Chronic
I’m sitting over here
And there you are
Flicking off brain cells
Like ants
Right before
Before the next post…
Knowing this is just what I do
As a filler (for now)
But that doesn’t stop you
From smoke bombing
The economy of my writing
That keeps us alive
For a little while longer
Yet I found myself
Waiting for this cloud
Of anger
To ease up
And I’d even ask you
To stop
Leaning back
(On your brilliant insights)
If only, you weren’t busy
Foraging
(Like some devout worker caste) ...

When the Swans Fly Away
(Written for Zazzles' "Night Before Christmas" comp)
“When the swans fly away, they will take my youth with them,” came the words, circling in my soul, that last summer. I believed them to be true, when I slid into the waves along with the rest of Company E. I was not yet twenty-two, as we sloshed our way, tide-driven, onto Omaha Beach, and the officers started falling around me, immediate casualties of the Germans. I should have shot back, but it was of no use; we could not see where they were, the Germans, so I became mesmerized at the faces of the soldiers...

Vomerian Nursery Song
Up in the sky, so very high
You fly away to new lands
Looking for adventures, full of danger
Life is never how it’s planned.
Whether you’re a sailor traveling the White Ocean
Or a tailor of an esteemed Flaksbakian shop
Just like the world, our lives are in constant motion
Whether you’re a mayor, or a farmer gathering his crops.
Up in the sky, so very high
You fly away to new lands
Looking for adventures, full of danger
Such as the Moesplian quick sands.
Whether you’re an esteemed Lord
Or an addict...
You fly away to new lands
Looking for adventures, full of danger
Life is never how it’s planned.
Whether you’re a sailor traveling the White Ocean
Or a tailor of an esteemed Flaksbakian shop
Just like the world, our lives are in constant motion
Whether you’re a mayor, or a farmer gathering his crops.
Up in the sky, so very high
You fly away to new lands
Looking for adventures, full of danger
Such as the Moesplian quick sands.
Whether you’re an esteemed Lord
Or an addict...

StrangeBirds: Inception
Breaking news! Today we wake up to the brutal title “God Particle Discovered! No Hope for the Human Race!” plastered over our windows, screaming from the trees, auto-toned through the tube, broadcasted from loudspeakers…
-- Lord Johnatron and his sidekick Audbot were up to no good. With the royal announcement of morality’s end, they had much work to do…
There was a rustling of papers from the next room. Audbot could distinguish it only as a maniacal frenzy. Lord Johnatron was searching through past years’ newspapers for shreds of what was to come.
