Madman

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I’m sit­ting next to a mad­man
His eyes are implor­ing
Wild
They see every­thing
Col­ors talk to him
Tell him secrets never revealed to me
Sto­ries about
The Moon God­dess and the Stone Boy
Tales I would die for
Tales I will never know

Time flows like mon­strous ten­drils
Clutch­ing at him
He fights them off
They don’t stop
Clutch­ing, grab­bing, seek­ing…
His arms wave inces­santly
Even when

He lies down
closes his eyes
But I know
They never stop see­ing
His spit­tle mar­ries the cold con­crete cell floor
Human com­fort an alien thought
He is some­where else
Always

Some ignore him
Most laugh
I can’t
Col­ors roll off him
Mourner’s Black
Blood Red
And blues
Blues from a sky I have never seen
Greens from fields only Gods can trek

They come for him
Take him wher­ever they take mad­men
Plugged into a machine some­where
Talk­ing to aliens
Sell­ing stock futures

The cell set­tles into drab gray
And dreary same­ness
fuck sto­ries and jail terms
But
No madman…

When Mountains fall

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

The Source is dimin­ished
No longer does the stream dance
in cas­cad­ing har­mony
Across time worn rocks
The voice tired and stretched
Yearn­ing for eter­nal rest
It’s motion tired and prac­ticed
The stage aban­doned
The script wrin­kled and torn

The Peak no longer grasps for the Sun
It’s shoul­ders hud­dled and drawn
Beaten down by time
It’s hands
Cen­tu­ri­ons
March­ing towards dis­tant con­quests
Beat­ing foot­paths on it’s once proud crest

It set­tles unto itself
Tak­ing coun­cil with mem­ory
Past dreams of glory and vibrancy

Dims
Flick­ers
A can­dle which no longer bat­tles darkness

The Moun­tain falls
yet
Remembers…

Flashlight Dreams

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

She sails on rivers of blood
Aboard scream­ing ships
Sil­hou­et­ted by dooms­day words
And flash­light dreams

While God’s mal­formed Hell hounds
suck pun­gent nec­tar from barbed plants

Yet she sings
With arms raised her words do bat­tle
Flash­ing argent against the coal black sky
Cor­us­cat­ing and relent­less
Blaz­ing and incorruptible

While God’s demons devour
Soul charms and innocence.

Her ship voy­ages dan­ger­ous seas
Sail­ing amidst heart’s cost and preg­nant tears
Her verse a nim­bus
Free­ing dreams to roam where they will

While God seeds black­ened crops
And bro­ken wills

Cast­ing runes like wiz­ard spells
Enchant­ments that climb rain­bows
With vines of cre­ation heal­ing bro­ken souls

While God’s wraiths
Sow tears among the fallen

She sails on rivers of blood
Aboard scream­ing ships
Sil­hou­et­ted by dooms­day words
And flash­light dreams

The Knight’s Maiden~Para~

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

My bed is call­ing my name
In var­i­ous lan­guages
Visual delights of soft­ness
Accost my ears
And flesh
Bit­ing the sights of sup­ple wonder

I am tired

I am lost in the promise
Of can­dle­light flames
Danc­ing across vehe­ment intru­sion
Behind my eyes
Burn­ing away reluc­tance
The lack of accep­tance
For here
I dream freely

Satin sheets
Wrap warmth about the room
Singing songs
To stop time
For all eter­nity
The air is sweet
As sweet as the dew
Licked from heav­enly sleep­ing bodies

Shal­low breath
Stirs rhyme with its rhythm
Echoes through golden cor­ri­dors of sleep
Per­fect cham­bers embrace
The petals scat­tered softly
At my feet
I step on none
In my ascent into the paradox

Light breezes soothe
Yet né’er to cap­ture atten­tion
Only a mere wisp
Of chest­nut locks fallen across the eye
Of yearn­ing
Can cause dis­tur­bance
Dis­rupt the glance into forever

I beg of dreams
To find me
Plead at the feet of wan­der­ing
To turn back
And brush petals across my lips
To tem­per the alarm

I lie silent

Rollin & Tumblin

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

The Street Breathes hack­saw rhythms
Young girls check for signs of men­stru­a­tion
Door stop mavens say God ain’t dead
He’s just in the South of France sun­ning
He’ll be back and as soon as he finds his scepter

Euro­pean Kings try­ing to make a come­back
Tout inbred genes and palace intrigues
Every Thurs­day night right after “The World ain’t got no talent”

Can­cer genes rise and float on amor­phous clouds
Laugh­ing and gig­gling
Con­sult­ing with the ora­cle of the damned
before descend­ing on Joe the mail­man
Two weeks away from retirement.

Me?
I’m just Rollin & Tum­blin
Rollin & tum­blin
Won­derin
If the Gods have Gods

Dream­ers vomit up yes­ter­days
Prepack­aged
In stan­dard belief pat­terns
Strands of inno­cence
Find no pur­chase
evap­o­rates
Lonely motes
Dust­ing Gaia’s weary bones

Me?
I’m just Rollin & Tum­blin
Rollin & Tum­blin
Won­derin
If the Gods believe in their Gods

Fire red blood
paint a land­scape
Only I can see
Soft­ened by the gen­tle blue of still­born babies
Mouths frozen in per­pet­ual why

Brides dressed in white
With pun­gent piss stains
Run­ning down sequined trains
Promise immac­u­late con­cep­tion
to well oiled machines

Me?
I’m just Rollin & Tum­blin
Rollin & Tum­blin
Won­derin
If Gods can be athe­ist
or are they just
Rollin & Tum­blin
Rollin & Tumblin

The song of the axe

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

The dark­ness rouses and sighs
As the har­bin­gers of dawn
Sing
Like witches about a caul­dron
Work­ing spells of mys­tery and unity
Con­nect­ing the dis­parate melodies of this world



They would have me believe



Out­side my win­dow they orches­trate hope



Yet the axe sings also
Shak­ing off cob­webs
Lying in wait in the shoe­box of my life
It’s edge glint­ing
Sharp­ened by unimag­in­able steel pain
Flam­ing sparks ascend­ing the heav­ens
Tak­ing their place as burn­ing novas
In the fir­ma­ment
A song of blood and revenge
Always scream­ing it’s rage
Plead­ing for my soft caress
Upon it’s oaken shaft
’Let us leap upon this stage my Brother!
Let us together sing Mar’s mar­tial hymns of death“



Beseech­ing voices
And the gen­tle flap of com­pelling wings
echo hol­low against the dis­in­te­grat­ing Dark­ness
Lulling me
Telling me to aban­don pas­sion
“Look beyond your­self
To the eter­nal“



The Axe sings it’s song
Touch­ing
That which is only I
Resis­tance is futile
It’s melody too strong
It’s rhythm in time to my burn­ing heart
I grasp its oaken body
And flashes of power and rage
Vibrate down to my soul
“There is only us my Brother
You have no part of them
Let us go forth
And sing our song“



The axe screams a song
Only I can hear
The world trem­bles
And I…
Weep…

So I’m dead…Right?

Friday, December 25th, 2009

So I’m dead.

How do I know?

When you die there is this pre-recorded mes­sage that plays in you head.

You might be con­fused at the moment but let us assure you that you are indeed dead and we will be ser­vic­ing you shortly. Please wait in line and we promise an eter­nity of bliss awaits you. Thank you for your patience, the Management”

Now I am really pissed, I’m dead and I have to deal with voice mail? Bad enough I had to deal with it when I was alive.  At least they didn’t have an Indian accent…

So I’m wait­ing in line and there are some dick­weeds in front of me who are piss­ing me off. I’m hold­ing back because I am per­pet­u­ally pissed and I don’t want to cause a scene. The last thing I need is to get a Rep that I am a dead loose cannon.

Now the dicks in front of me are all excited about see­ing Mom and Dad and Grandma and Pa again… I’m like shut the fuck up and who gives a shit.

Now three places back there is a croc­o­dile in line. I’m like what the fuck is a croc­o­dile doing in line with dead humans? Nor­mally I would kick it’s ass but he is a big sucker about 20 feet long and rather large teeth. I want to start a con­ver­sa­tion with him, let’s face it how many oppor­tu­ni­ties do you get to have a con­ver­sa­tion with a dead fuck­ing reptile.

So I mosey back and say, “Yo croc what the fuck you doing here?” Believe it or not he has these read­ing glasses on and he speaks with an impec­ca­ble British accent. I’m like “This is too fuck­ing cool.” He tells me is name is Peter and he was rein­car­nated as a Croc he was king of France at one time. I’m doubt­ful; of course it seems every­one at one time was King of France. He seems like a cool dude. So I ask the obvi­ous ques­tion, “What the fuck you doing in line with dead peo­ple shouldn’t you be in the croc­o­dile line?” He apol­o­gizes pro­fusely and tells me even though he is a croc he still feels like the King of France. Who am I to argue.

I ask him if he wants to go to the Bar and he does. Now dead peo­ple drink like fish and the bar is packed so I ask him if he minds clear­ing a spot for us and he quickly chomps two fuck­ers down and WA-La we have seats. We start hav­ing a good time, he is a funny fucker and he has me laugh­ing my ass off over sto­ries about bang­ing the Queen of Eng­land. Shit, he said he nailed about all the royal pussy in Europe. I’m jeal­ous because all I nailed were some crack whores and an occa­sional mar­ried woman. What are you going to do.  Now the loud speaker announces “now serv­ing the dead croc who was once King of France” He apol­o­gizes and picks up the tab. I’m like “totally cool man”

He leaves and I’m stuck dead with fuck­ing humans. What are you going to do.
