Silent Death Within The Tomb~para

Friday, February 5th, 2010

There are so many suf­fo­cat­ing images
On the sec­ond story
That they jump for their lives
Like glo­ries on fire
Flam­ing the sky
With the back­drop clouds
To liven the enter­tain­ment
For eyes dry
And clouded over by judg­ment
And for the tries dimin­ished
At the wake of shrouds
Revealed.



Images that wit­ness their own death
Forced still­births
For the sake of held breath
And the mea­sur­ing of penis girth
Of mere babes
Sealed upon impact
To be mem­o­ries
Held tight as momen­tary fact
And glim­mer­ings of what could have been
Of what can­not defend itself
As real­ity…
Too late
Just another casu­alty
Of feel­ing black­ened
By the great pharaohs
Elated
Berated again.



They were
But can­not be proven
Again as uncer­tain
Cre­mated for blurt­ing the words
Into the vol­cano of the sun…
What was begun
Was heard
Then spun
Into a thou­sand shat­tered webs
Weep­ing
And keep­ing track­ing of each tear
Sleep­ing on the edge of the pil­low…
Each creep­ing sil­hou­ette
Dis­solves
Upon the light of day.



There’s noth­ing left wide open
And noth­ing left
With more to say or groom…
The will cuts the
Umbil­i­cal
As death screams silence
To echo
Within the pyramid’s tomb
As a bereft womb.

Massacre ~Para~

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

They were cut into bloody chunks

Just raw hunks of meat and bone

With flesh hang­ing in sinewy strands

Drip­ping putrid gore…

All stacked nice and neat

Around the bor­ders of a mind

Closed from all view other than mas­sacre.


They deserved it.

The mind cried rot­ten green fingers

From blood-shot eyes

Know­ing just one thing…



They deserved it.


The mind spit blood

On them in contempt

Their own blood

Spit

Upon sadis­tic smirks and laughter.


The mind peeled back eyelids

With sur­gi­cal precision

So that they could see

Their death upon the minds death

Upon their death…

But they would never look

Past the cornea.


Walk­ing death.

The mind strolls midday

Con­ceal­ing disease

Cough­ing out shyly

Ran­cid bits of elbow and scalp

Into a fancy lace mono­grammed han­kie



But…



By mid­night the mind returns for more rearranging

More chop­ping

More axing of body parts into smaller pieces

To be shaken free from nos­tril and ear

As the mind walks down the dark­ened path

Leav­ing a trail of mushy decom­posed toes, labia, and vertebrae

To find the way back home.



They deserved it.

They all deserved it.


The mind rests at night

On a bed of spines

Snug­gling pil­lows of brain matter

And blan­kets of flesh


The night­mares never cease

For they laugh in the face of mur­der.

Apocalytic Stew

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Apoca­lyp­tic Stew

Phase
Shift
Crazed
Rift

Argent
Black­ness
Cogent
Confess

Vicious dogs
Mangy mutts
Pinup hogs
Vile sluts

Some fallen Priests
Are eying cock
A banker’s feast
A scat­tered flock

All wounded souls here
Spin the wheel of time
No one can see clear
Rea­sons con­fused crime

Cen­ter­folds are singing
A crass and tune­less song
Demon wasps are sting­ing
The poi­soned malaise strong

Who truly can remem­ber
When it all came tum­bling down
That dark day in Novem­ber
We all wore the jester’s crown

ORIGINAL SIN

Monday, November 30th, 2009

WAS I THE LAMB WHO STRAYED FROM THE FOLD?

WITH BLEEDING HEART BEATING SYNCOPATED RHAPSODY

BLIND TO THE TENEMENT CITADEL THAT LIES

WITHIN YOUR FALSE HEART!

CALLING SEX’S’ DESIRE,

YOUR LEGS FLY OPEN LIKE SCREEN DOOR SUMMER!

YOUR MUTATED DNA LAYING CONGEALED AND FERMENTING TOWARDS PATHLESS FUTURE.

WHILE YOURE MOANING FORGED PASSION!



CAN HE HEAR YOU?



AM I LAZARUS FRESHLY RISEN

ONLY TO BE SLAUGHTERED ANEW EACH DAY?

PELTING ROCKS AND UNCHIVALROUS ARROWS STRIKING MY FACELESS BACK?

FALLEN HEROES RISING FROM ANCIENT BATTLEFIELDS CRYING HAVOC AND ATTACK!…ATTACK!…ATTACK…!

AM I COMPELLED TO BECOME ODIN’S SPEAR, VISHNU’S POWER AND ACHILLES WRATH?

DO FORCE MY TREAD UPON THAT PATH!



WILL I METASTIZE MALINGNAT CANCERS SCREAMING MY MORTALITY?

WILL THE SAME WIND THAT CHILLS MY SOUL TOUCH EVERY ONE AS FATALLY?

WILL I EVER BE PART OF SOMETHING GREATER THAN I CAN EVER BE?

ROOTLESS AND ALONE AS DECADENT SUMMER’S STORM TOSSED TREE?

IN DARKNESS SO BLACK NO LIGHT CAN PIERCE NOR EYE CAN SEE.

WILL THE LOCKED DOOR OF WISDOM DENIED, FOREVER BETRAY ME



DO THE DANCING PLANET’S CONFORM TO KEPLER’S LAWS

OR ONWHIM.

AM I FOREVER CONSIGNED TO PARADISE LOST AND ORIGINAL SIN

Malt Shop Blues

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Face dam­age actresses

Crip­pled dancers

Cas­trated Lotharios

Mute ora­tors

Were all there

I was a spe­cial guest



You see I had the Blues

And the Malt Shop

Is where you sim­ply had to be

When suf­fer­ing that fatal spir­i­tual mal­ady



I looked around at the col­lage of failure

A con­glom­er­a­tion of burnt souls

Aban­doned in scorched pits of the damned

No amount of tears

Could ever put that fire out.



I moseyed up to the counter

Tit-less porn queens with sewn mouths giv­ing half priced blow jobs

Defrocked priest sell­ing wafers auto­graphed by Jesus himself

An insur­ance man with his Moth­ers still beat­ing heart in his blood­ied hand

Bang­ing a deal with a used car salesman

Who watched with satisfaction

As his 11 year old daugh­ter pulls a train

with well dressed Turk­ish sailors

Busi­ness looked good



Boys scouts seek­ing merit badges

Sell crack to nuns

Don­ning the lat­est in Fredrick’s of Hollywood

God squad apparel



It was there

all our sins

We just don’t like to face it

We are all responsible

We are all guilty

The truth be a Mother Fucker



I closed my eyes and

Inhaled the filth

Pores open­ing

In hor­ror and greed

Ten­drils of madness

Vio­lated me

became part of me



Don’t worry

Mad­ness don’t scare me none

Been there

Done that.

Bet ya

it scares the shit out of you



What shel­tered lives

Most of the pretty peo­ple lead

So when you look with envy

At your neigh­bors weedless

Pris­tine green lawn

For a sec­ond



Just a sec­ond



Think of those people

In the Congo

Being hacked to death

With Machetes

It’s real

It’s hap­pen­ing

Now

And if you can get away

Come by the Malt shop

I’ll be there

Got

Plenty

of Room

Alighieri Revisted

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Human­ity threw a party
And I was invited
A Suit told me
“Come to the cen­ter”
“With all the pretty peo­ple”
His capped bleached smile
Screamed lies
“Sorry, gonna stroll on the edge dude”
“No rea­son to go out there”
“You’ll only be back”
“Pack a lunch Mother Fucker…Pack a lunch…”



I strolled out of the Cen­ter
That hub of con­tent­ment
Joy
Usury
Can­ni­bal­is­tic Rape
“Have a sand­wich”
They scream
As they died cig­a­rettes
Out
on
Chil­dren with­out
Bank accounts.



They sawed the legs off a child
‘The poor make excel­lent stew meat”
Their rapa­cious smiles
Made me Vomit
nto
A majes­tic steak Tatar
I has­tened to swipe
Chunks
Of my essence
Away
The fat rich bitch
Played
Gob­ble
Gob­ble
As she ate what I ate
Before I
Regurgitate…..d
Her smile
Impos­si­bly
Wide
“Can some­one be?”
“That happy?”



I left the cen­ter
And entered the con­tented cir­cle
A vast sea
Of human­ity
Who nei­ther
Laughed
Nor
Cried
Lived
Or
Died
They sim­ply
Were
Mar­i­onettes
Attached
To steel cables
Whose every move
Des­tined
For con­trol
I shud­dered
Moved on



I swam that vast sea
To the
Edge
Where I
Belong

An ema­ci­ated AIDS patient
Too weak too talk
Whose cheap card­board sign
Bled vow­els and con­so­nants
“Kiss me before I die!”
I don’t roll that way
But
Some­thing bout the way
The e in die
Trailed with res­ig­na­tion
And hope
Sug­gest­ing
Greater things.



Our lips met
Tongues
Danced
I heard Cas­tratos
Singing
Impos­si­ble music
As Lud­wig, Amadeus and Wim
Pounded mad­ness
Into sweet sound.
Cajol­ing our essence
Into
Sharps and flats
The black and white keys
Singing our pain and joy.

Our lips parted
One drop of spit­tle
Length­ened
And
Refused to
Sep­a­rate
Only to dis­in­te­grate
Curs­ing
The dis­tance
Between us

There will
Always
Be
Dis­tance
Between
Us



I was on the edge
At home
With
Pain
And
Tears



I wept
and
Smiled.
I
Lived

Darkness

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Blind light­ning snakes invis­i­ble against the coal black night
Macabre laugh­ter drowns out the pleas of the Poets
The death rat­tle of inno­cence masks the Bard’s song
The empty stom­achs of the hun­gry
Roared in thun­der­ous accusation

The uni­verse was engulfed in shad­ows
The Moon doused its radi­ance
Light died painfully
Its screams sucked down
At the point of singularity

Hun­gry ani­mals devour the strong
While the meek became chaff for the scythe
The preacher man wrung his hands
And cursed God
Love became rape
Can­ni­bal­ism replaced altruism

The Few
Hud­dled in the cold sheen of despair
And lis­tened to the dying screams which haunted their dark­ness
They heard the approach of vicious evil
.And clutched each other
Curs­ing the skin that sep­a­rated their essence

On This day
When the Light Died
And Dark­ness prevailed

They pre­pared to Die

The Chrysalis

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

I slith­ered out of the Chrysalis
The all know­ing Raven chuck­led
“You have not yet devolved.”
“You will be back”
thought briefly I should snap its neck
But he was stronger than I could ever be.



I parted the veil
And entered the night
Dark­ness is a gift
To be trea­sured.
A blan­ket of false deceit
Truth’s rev­e­la­tion.
The light lies
Dark­ness knows all



The cold air
Washes over me
A brief still­ing of mol­e­c­u­lar motion.
The caress of an icy hand
Tells me
“Warmth makes you sleep”
“She is the false touch”



The Cold is Dark’s friend
Not so secret lovers
Eter­nally con­spir­ing



I knew I was tres­pass­ing
Tread­ing paths not meant for me
Yet I felt the need
To see
To feel
This aban­doned Play­ground



Sleep­ing Man­nequins
Being recharged
Repro­grammed
New dia­logue being writ­ten by wraiths
Their tooth­less smiles plan­ning new heartaches
A child will be raped on this stage
A human heart will stop beat­ing
I could not stop it
Tears froze



I slith­ered back into the Chrysalis
The all know­ing Raven chuck­led
“I knew you would be back”
“You have not yet devolved”
I wanted to snap its neck
But he was stronger than I could ever be

Dance of the Mutants

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Wheeled…
Strapped to a char­iot of the infirm
The clank­ing of ungreased wheels
Play dis­cor­dant sounds over the well worn anti­sep­tic linoleum

Faces of Nor­malcy
Dis­play­ing well prac­ticed smiles
Feign­ing heartrend­ing concern

Flu­o­res­cent lights
Flash strobe like
Reveal­ing motion in stac­cato relief
Kalei­do­scope fig­ures move with furtive intent
Pulling strings attached to vials of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal salvation

They con­trol the mar­i­onettes of the damned
They orches­trate the dance of the mutants
Legs dance, con­torted, painful
Bod­ies bent at impos­si­ble angles
The Mutants move to the inces­sant demands of the strings
Their faces scream their hope­less­ness
Jux­ta­posed with silent resignation

The audi­ence laughed and applauded
Such funny mar­i­onettes
For who can not help but laugh
At the dance of the mutants
