			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>hey drag the blade<br />
Across the flesh of their wrists<br />
The wellspring of their lives<br />
Spray you in the face<br />
And you twist away<br />
You twist away!<br />
First instinct<br />
To jerk to the left<br />
From the exhilarating blast<br />
Caught off guard<br />
Just right<br />
To retard the intellect…<br />
They will live<br />
They will last the night<br />
As they lick the last drop<br />
From your sight. </p>
<p>Do not regard me<br />
In any manner. </p>
<p>I am the motion<br />
Not the flesh<br />
Nor the explosive spray.<br />
I remain saner<br />
Than the illusion you eye. </p>
<p>But I<br />
See them<br />
And that is my insanity…<br />
Mine alone.<br />
I see<br />
The cut.<br />
I see the spray.<br />
I see the inevitable<br />
Turning away….</p>
<p>I am never a part<br />
But apart fucking<br />
Disassociation…<br />
And praying<br />
For Immaculate Conception<br />
Amongst the betraying. </p>
<p>Look!<br />
WHAT MORE CAN THEY DO?<br />
There is nothing more than death<br />
They can give to you!<br />
But you take their first born…<br />
You do…<br />
And you sacrifice them<br />
At the first turn of the full moon<br />
With their wrists raised<br />
In offering… </p>
<p>And I work.<br />
I do.</p>
<p>Do not regard me<br />
In any manner. </p>
<p>I am the motion<br />
Not the flesh<br />
Nor the explosive spray.<br />
I remain saner<br />
Than the illusion you eye. </p>
<p>I merely lie<br />
In bed at night<br />
And cry…<br />
For my pitiful self<br />
For I will never<br />
Accept their decisions<br />
Of censorship,<br />
Commercialization,<br />
Worship<br />
Of power… recognition<br />
Within this hour</p>
<p>I hate you<br />
In a way that they won’t.<br />
They want your money.<br />
I don’t. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he cake lies musty and stale<br />
The balloons dry rotted and cracked<br />
Their colors faded<br />
The air that would give them life<br />
Has moved on</p>
<p>And Clint died</p>
<p>The clock nods<br />
And says<br />
“Just to remind ya dude“<br />
Another year lays parcels<br />
Into my pack</p>
<p>Oh the weight</p>
<p>But what of Love?<br />
Cheap and tawdry<br />
A bar stool whore<br />
Eying advantage<br />
Plundering<br />
A Viking raping with guttural screams<br />
The Poet can sing of it<br />
I had my fill of it</p>
<p>And Clint died</p>
<p>Memories set the table of dreams<br />
Preparing a feast<br />
Begging for party favors<br />
Dressed in Sunday finery<br />
Hiding the thread worn elbows<br />
And the yellowing white<br />
Of faded innocence</p>
<p>No one will show<br />
I never do<br />
And memory will shed tears<br />
And slowly fade<br />
Dissolve<br />
Dispersed into the wind tunnel of time’s inexorable march<br />
Towards…<br />
Something…<br />
Some place…<br />
Its last words always</p>
<p>“But what of Love?”</p>
<p>I smile<br />
Let the Poet sing its glory<br />
I had my fill of it</p>
<p>Besides</p>
<p>Clint is dead</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="O" class="cap"><span>O</span></span>n the thread of lies,<br />
Mutual deception will neutralize…<br />
Future inception<br />
Will seal the eyes<br />
From seeing the ties<br />
Of the present’s past<br />
And<br />
The past’s presence<br />
In the society of ‘wandering whys.’<br />
The weakest society<br />
Of brilliance<br />
Known to mankind.</p>
<p>Pushed past the threshold<br />
Of boredom<br />
And the stimulation of whoredom<br />
In a modern biblification<br />
Of swordom…<br />
Words are hammered into existence.<br />
This is the frontline<br />
Of your war.<br />
I sacrificed<br />
And I swore to lay down my life<br />
For the only king that I held dear,<br />
Worthy of my insanity<br />
Worthy of facing each<br />
And every one<br />
Of<br />
My<br />
Fears…</p>
<p>I slept<br />
For you<br />
I slept<br />
As you slept…<br />
Wide awake…<br />
Seeking the pure fabric<br />
Of our lives<br />
But<br />
On the thread of lies,<br />
Mutual deception will neutralize.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he breeze sways the languid arms<br />
Of the willow trees<br />
Light and carefree<br />
The swallows sing from a private world<br />
Distant<br />
From the eyes dividing you from me…</p>
<p>I want to live in their world<br />
Of natural order. </p>
<p>To feel touch upon the flesh<br />
Of words unspoken<br />
When lying broken<br />
On warm summer nights<br />
Just a touch<br />
A token<br />
Of genuine comfort…</p>
<p>Is all I want from the world<br />
Of natural order. </p>
<p>But the sun bows to the moon<br />
On cue<br />
Bringing the slanted shadow of lies<br />
And deception<br />
Too soon<br />
Much too soon<br />
Lies I long to believe<br />
But I know now<br />
As I knew<br />
Then…</p>
<p>I no longer live in the world<br />
Of natural order. </p>
<p>Oh how I’ve fallen from all I held sacred<br />
Let the poison of dread<br />
Invade my bloodstream<br />
Coursing red<br />
With the violent<br />
Acrid<br />
Stench<br />
Of the undead<br />
Wafting from each word written<br />
To each word you left<br />
Unsaid…</p>
<p>I only wanted to embrace the world<br />
Of natural order…</p>
<p>Simple<br />
Loving world<br />
Of natural order. </p>
<p>Just let me bleed<br />
As I have bled<br />
Across the borders<br />
Of nations<br />
Walking the night<br />
Forever<br />
Singing the songs<br />
Of the dead<br />
Capturing the sight<br />
Of all<br />
That was never said.</p>
<p>The willows<br />
Will not sway for me<br />
Ever<br />
Again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>here’s genius here?<br />
Wait…<br />
I see him…<br />
Crawling crippled<br />
On broken elbows<br />
And femurs snapped<br />
Midway.</p>
<p>Don’t worry…<br />
The bones don’t protrude<br />
Through the skin…<br />
Just their mal-form<br />
Shows from beneath.</p>
<p>Don’t twitch!<br />
Don’t twitch…<br />
Hold a steady gaze…<br />
What stares back<br />
Might astonish you. </p>
<p>Fertilized with agony<br />
Grown stronger<br />
With arcane knowledge–<br />
Erase<br />
All misconception<br />
Before the fleeting moment<br />
Finds a hook in reality<br />
To pull you<br />
Back<br />
Into improbability. </p>
<p>All thoughts<br />
Hold a marker<br />
On the line of time. </p>
<p>That thought resides<br />
Fifty four miles<br />
Down the line<br />
Caressing the birth canal<br />
With greedy<br />
Impatient fingers.</p>
<p>Stay back!<br />
Their instinct<br />
Is to kill<br />
To maim<br />
Past notions…<br />
Embarrass their<br />
Prestige. </p>
<p>Wild ideas lurk<br />
Within the bushes<br />
Of this unvisited territory</p>
<p>They are everywhere<br />
Seeking<br />
Acceptance…<br />
Howling at the moon<br />
For their<br />
untimely rejection. </p>
<p>There is genius here<br />
Violating<br />
The infrastructure<br />
And yet<br />
Minds revisiting the past<br />
Continue<br />
Down the most familiar lane<br />
To avoid collision<br />
With change. </p>
<p>Crawl<br />
Upon broken elbows<br />
And<br />
Femurs snapped<br />
Midway. </p>
<p>Be road kill…<br />
Or kill the road. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>…With a loud roar<br />
They introduce themselves<br />
Simultaneously<br />
To one another…</p>
<p class="first-child "><span title="H" class="cap"><span>H</span></span>ands instinctively<br />
Grasp ears–<br />
A swift cry of pain escapes<br />
Trembling lips–<br />
Eyes duck<br />
Behind clenched lids…</p>
<p>But there’s nowhere to hide.<br />
All those voices<br />
Come from inside.</p>
<p>A body of will<br />
Jumps onto the landmine<br />
And is<br />
Annihilated<br />
On impact.</p>
<p>At top speed<br />
The body disbands–<br />
Questions burst into answers–<br />
Defeat plumes into a mushroom cloud–<br />
All sides split<br />
Once again<br />
To lie jagged<br />
On the soul’s floor. </p>
<p>Will…<br />
The voices ever lie silent?<br />
Will…<br />
The silence feed growth?</p>
<p>And who…<br />
Will…?…<br />
Commandeer this vessel<br />
Home<br />
Across violent terrain<br />
And furious seas<br />
To bring victory<br />
Of war<br />
To the motherland?</p>
<p>Who?</p>
<p>Will? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>f you were to give words to me<br />
What would they be?<br />
Can they sweep us away?<br />
From the venom’s sting<br />
Angry<br />
darkest<br />
of inks<br />
Anguish felling<br />
Broken pens<br />
Whisper to me now<br />
And with your words<br />
Bring us to where<br />
The beautiful poetry<br />
yet<br />
still<br />
sings…</p>
<p><em>I dip my fingers<br />
Into the cool stream of consciousness<br />
Your thoughts flow over mine<br />
In a gentle rush.<br />
When I raise my fingers<br />
To my lips<br />
Curious words roll<br />
And drip<br />
To soothe fevered flesh.<br />
A subtle mystery is born<br />
On ancient banks<br />
Only the sinking sun<br />
Can attest<br />
To the renewal of beauty<br />
As our thoughts mesh<br />
Once again.<br />
The eternal stream<br />
Surges<br />
With omnipotence…<br />
The black disease of anger<br />
Has dissolved<br />
Within the majestic tow.</em></p>
<p>And can these words whispered<br />
Across the skin of pens<br />
Lift one out of the darkness?<br />
Where is this magical stream?<br />
In what wilderness<br />
That these words dripping<br />
And rolling from divine lips<br />
Lead unto<br />
And defend…<br />
Upon which path<br />
Beneath what setting sun,<br />
Shall we now step?<br />
For the heart of the ancient forest<br />
Is darkened and diseased<br />
By the black anger<br />
Vengeance cries<br />
And echoes of words<br />
As sword blows<br />
Sent<br />
O’ ancient alluring dryad<br />
Silent splendid lyrical enticing muse<br />
Unto which tree<br />
That roots into the elder streams<br />
Do these words lure into?<br />
Dare I offer my hand?<br />
Unto celestial reverie<br />
For you to lead me<br />
Into these dreams? </p>
<p><em>Hold my gaze<br />
The stream lies here<br />
Hovering over the vast distance<br />
Curling questions<br />
Into answers<br />
That need no definition<br />
Only assurance<br />
In their validity.<br />
On mere thought<br />
Sunlight invades<br />
The darkest wells<br />
To bleach resentment.<br />
On sheer will<br />
The chasm opens<br />
Upon the brilliance of hope.<br />
The wilderness<br />
Lies here in my heart<br />
Scarred<br />
And trembling<br />
From the nightmares<br />
Of battles<br />
Lost<br />
But with strength<br />
To frolic<br />
And splash<br />
Once more<br />
In the stream<br />
If only you will be here with me…<br />
Take my hand<br />
Let us dream<br />
Again<br />
To drown all doubt.<br />
</em></p>
<p>And how may I gaze into eyes,<br />
So far away?</p>
<p><em>The sun holds my vision<br />
Gaze upon its splendor…</em></p>
<p>The wilderness is vast<br />
The chasm is deep<br />
The sun knows me not<br />
For it has burned ere eons<br />
Never near…</p>
<p>And how may I feel a heart<br />
Without one of my own<br />
Bloody and fallen into<br />
Its singular black-hole</p>
<p><em>Embrace mine<br />
For it has always resided<br />
In your hands<br />
In your possession<br />
In your fate<br />
It whispers to you all of the questions<br />
Which my words cannot sate</em></p>
<p>And how may I touch a hand<br />
Leagues out of reach<br />
I have no gold<br />
To pay the toll…</p>
<p><em>This hand rests<br />
Idle<br />
To suffer the touch<br />
Every day<br />
Your hand caresses<br />
With sentiment…<br />
Invaluable.</p>
<p>Gold<br />
Has only brought corruption<br />
Greed<br />
To the ancient forest’s<br />
Stream…<br />
Pay not<br />
To find me<br />
</em></p>
<p>I have wandered o’er endless eons<br />
Across the fields<br />
Through the forests<br />
Among the stars<br />
Over and within these dreams<br />
Listening, listening<br />
And yet still not knowing<br />
And ever finding the darkest of corners<br />
Nightmare verses<br />
Slaying arrows and vorpal tongues<br />
While wishing to find her thigh<br />
Instead of a millstone<br />
To lay my head upon<br />
Yet upon these quests<br />
I have yet to find home…<br />
The wilderness is vast<br />
The chasm is deep<br />
This wilderness is vast<br />
The chasm deep<br />
The sun knows me not<br />
For it has burned ere eons<br />
Never near….<br />
Even if the sun remembers<br />
Eons before the forest<br />
Yet still younger than I<br />
Bloody and fallen into<br />
Its singular black-hole<br />
Before the heart fell into<br />
Its black-hole<br />
And every gatekeeper<br />
Demands its toll<br />
And the dark-heart of the forest<br />
Knows not how to pay anymore</p>
<p><em>Oh wanderer<br />
Weary and bleak<br />
You’ve paid<br />
With your precious soul<br />
Until it seems<br />
That nothing remains… </p>
<p>But I will not believe!<br />
I will not believe<br />
That the embers<br />
Of your essence<br />
Have been drenched<br />
To extinction! </p>
<p>Is my heart<br />
Not pure enough<br />
Bright enough<br />
Strong enough<br />
To capture your gaze?</p>
<p>Will the song<br />
Of my soul<br />
Never be beautiful enough<br />
To play the melody<br />
Of your existence?</em></p>
<p>Dear sweet dryad<br />
Yours is a truly beautiful song<br />
But there is another psalm<br />
Which I hear ringing<br />
Ever deep within<br />
Her voice, her soul forever carried upon the kiss<br />
Of the autumn winds<br />
And forever this wanderer’s heart<br />
Belongs to one… </p>
<p><em>As days grow long<br />
And nights grow cold<br />
Let this voice<br />
Whisper as hope<br />
Upon the journey’s path<br />
To enlightenment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>t speaks through this vessel<br />
Clear and concise<br />
Hands steady<br />
Lips taut<br />
The final seal to be broken</p>
<p>The nervous ones<br />
Hover in fear<br />
I feel their contained excitement<br />
On the back of my neck<br />
As they watch<br />
And wait<br />
For the key to fall<br />
Into their vision…<br />
History<br />
Hammering out the foundation<br />
For which they have always bowed<br />
In worship.</p>
<p>The mission is precise<br />
Free will has been enslaved<br />
One false move<br />
And it all disintegrates</p>
<p>They become the keepers<br />
Of the We~<br />
They always were~<br />
They were always aligned<br />
With the placement of the clock<br />
Regarding the tide upon the shore.</p>
<p>When the sands of time fall into zero gravity<br />
We have no time to lose…<br />
Every minute counts<br />
Backwards unto its death.</p>
<p>This vessel will justly spill<br />
Upon the violet horizon<br />
And the new world<br />
Will awaken<br />
In a starless night of rebirth…  </p>
<p>All will be perceived as one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he past melts from the heart<br />
With each passing day<br />
It seems that time does not erase<br />
But numbs the sting away</p>
<p>Heartache has been recalled<br />
Much too often, my love<br />
All those vapid lonely nights<br />
With only you to think of</p>
<p>And those thoughts made me smile<br />
More than you knew<br />
For when you peered in the window<br />
Tears were all that came through</p>
<p>Strength was developed<br />
Patience incurred<br />
Learned to walk on the sun<br />
Without speaking a word</p>
<p>Evil strolls lightly<br />
Through this dark masquerade<br />
But the warmth of your touch<br />
Makes the sinister fade</p>
<p>I still feel you, my love<br />
I sense that you’re near<br />
Can’t see past each masque<br />
But I listen to hear</p>
<p>My love, my one<br />
True delicate note<br />
Time struggles onward<br />
With clearness remote</p>
<p>My hand remains empty<br />
My heart missing one<br />
Soul searching for you<br />
The twin star of my sun</p>
<p>The past melts from the heart<br />
With each passing day<br />
It seems that time does not erase<br />
But numbs the sting away</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="O" class="cap"><span>O</span></span>kay, where was I?  That’s right, most of you suck.  To be truthful, I don’t read yas, but if I did I feel my conclusion would pass empirical scientific scrutiny. You’ll have to take my word on that as I seem to have misplaced my attache case it’s where I keep my bullshit I mean evidence. I am a scientist in fact I’m all them there “ist” things. </p>
<p>There are a few of you out there who sail uncharted waters but the overwhelming majority of you are stuck in the kid’s pool with you toes wiggling in the shallow depths saying, “I’m a Poet, whee.….”  Fucking sad man.  You’re not a Poet till you’ve spent time in a jail, nut house and a rehab and killed at least ten people.  Which I call the crème de la crème of human experience, yes, I know I’m feathering my own nest, but remember, I suck too, I’m just more angry and I have larger balls than you.</p>
<p>Let’s talk about the Blog Talk whores, men and woman.  Do you dumb fucks know that a mutant chimp with leprosy could get a show?  No shit and probably better than yours.  In fact what time does he come on?  It’s cool, it’s casual but when, because you have a show with a hoard of say three listeners please don’t go pontificating, rating who is the best and worst of us.  I fucking hate that.  Do I what I do, you all suck, this way everyone gets their feeling hurt.  Kinda of an all inclusive love fest sans love.  </p>
<p>I can’t listen to the shows anymore, cause I get in trouble in the chat calling people Douche bags and shit like that.  The only show I listen to is Reverse cause you can hear some cool shit there.  The problem is there are still douche bags who call in trying to read there own shit, as if the world can’t wait to hear them.  “Oh I must read now, I think I can change the world with this write”  it’s times like that I wish i could shoot people over the phone.  Anyone know how to do that?</p>
<p>Who haven’t I insulted? Okay let me get Racial, Black chicks, when a black chick reads there is a two thousand percent chance she will say shit like “she is a good woman, she is the best, she deserves bla…bla…bla…”  or some such nonsense.  Check it out for yourself, I’m a scientist would I lie?  Man, black chicks must go through some shit. No lie there.  And as far as Black dudes?  I have no idea what the fuck they are talking about.  It’s like “What the fuck is he saying?”  Black dude poets give me a headache.  </p>
<p>I save all my vim and vigor for what I call the Saintly Poets, the boring fucks who are constantly whining about the Beatrice of their dreams and desire.  The Uberwoman.  We all know who they are.  The guys who never get laid.  They would never dare use Fuck in a write.  I so wanna tell them if you want to fuck Beatrice, grab her by her hair, rip her panties off, slam her against the wall and fuck her silly.  How hard is that?  She’ll love you forever studly.</p>
<p>Okay enough insults for one night.  Hey, anyone of you Poets wanna get together for a game of Parcheesi?</p>
