Shadows

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Color left the world
And…
The Sun called it in
A pen light
Shin­ing
In tombs
In misty grave­yards
In silent hells
In undis­cov­ered mass graves
In yawn­ing pits of despair
In the widened eyes of the murdered

In the halls of the damned

The Dead call to me
In tongues
At Once
Whis­per­ing
Cajol­ing
Stri­dent
Con­sum­ing
Ter­ri­ble
Only I can hear them

Objects are dimen­sion­less
Depth flees
Width and length
Have no size
Only shad­ows
Only shadows

The world stops
I can hear it strug­gle
To Breathe
Sip­ping breath
Like an elixir of doom

Smiles become winces
Joy – hys­te­ria
Love – obses­sion
Altru­ism a car­cass
Devoured
By beaks sharp­ened
On the cloaked shores of mys­te­ri­ous lands
I can hear waves crash
In unimag­in­able vio­lence
I can hear screams as bones snap
The watery sound of sev­ered throats
Plead for mercy
Plead for meaning

They’re only voices
Only sounds
Only shad­ows
March­ing to war
To a cadence
That has sounded
Through the ages
Can you hear it?
Deeper than a heart­beat
rum­bling
Shak­ing moun­tains
Like A hur­ri­cane wind
It blows

It will never stop
it can
Never stop

They’re…
Only sounds
Only voices
Only dark­ness
Only wind
Only one heart beat­ing
Only shadows

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…

I have no mouth

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

She laughed and spread her legs and said “Fuck Me”



I ran out of the build­ing
Made of coun­ter­feit promises
And of stripe clad designer shit



She was every­where



The breeze
The wind
The manic song of birds.



I ram­bled down the street bleed­ing gut shot


She was the Mailman’s fake smile
The school children’s skip­ping steps
The know­ing smile of false traf­fic



She was the hum of sum­mer lawn mow­ers
The incan­des­cent laugh of young lovers
The fool­ish pride of suit wear­ing wannabes



She howled at my weak­ness
Assaulted me with Hol­ly­wood smiles
And soul eat­ing love words



Hol­i­day pic­nics played and mea­sured my creep­ing steps
Bal­loons painted the phony sky
Fire­works snapped and crack­led
Me
To the ground



I crawled up yesterday’s steps



The world
Regarded me
Like decayed ver­min



A mouse bet­ter off dead
In the trap



I slammed the door-less room shut
Bleed­ing sweat



Sanc­tu­ary sound­ing Ren­field gig­gles
In mad­men harmony



She appeared before me with con­de­scend­ing laugh­ter



I tried to screamed



But I had no mouth


I am Madness

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Her blood screamed con­trast to the pol­ished white porce­lain
Beg­ging for mean­ing
As it swirled and sloshed
And descended down to where?
If that all that is left to me?
Diluted blood on some incom­pre­hen­si­ble jour­ney
with the faint piqué of Lifebuoy sting­ing my senses

They killed her
Stabbed her with lying knifes
Shot her dead with scented can­dles
Fried her brain in love potions
Flayed her skin with fla­grant promises
Buried her in mag­gots and puke larvae

They believe they know me

Can you know the stopped heart?
I have no need for power ties
Nor is my smile painted
Like a per­for­mance piece for a 3% wage increase
I have no use for laugh­ter
I am the shadow that dis­qui­ets their dreams

They can never com­pre­hend
That I DON’T NEED

I am invis­i­ble in the light
Yet blaze like painted pain in moonlight’s caress

I will fuck their God
And bring down heaven
I will blot the Sun
And rape angels with the devil’s cock

I am mad­ness
And I’m coming…

They Come for me

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

As if the beats of my heart were unique.
As if I were a star in a long dead con­stel­la­tion
To be res­ur­rected by sad eyes

Lay­ers of false hope strew the stage
Genet­i­cally pre­dis­po­si­tioned to save the gene
I am more than that fuckers!

Climb they implore
Can you not see the light?
I can not be blinded by false hope

Their pen­ciled stick fig­ured God
Would embrace me
Like some chick’s cheap fuck toy

Would you cheapen insan­ity?
Make it a crawl­ing insect
Search­ing for death?

I stare at the world
In a ring made of cheap dreams
It ain’t good enough

I go deeper into the maze
The path is down
Not up

I am the last magi­cian
But I ply no tricks
I just dig

Deeper

Deeper

The Crazy Lady and the Broken Clock

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

She had the sweet­est smile
But eyes that seen too many dark places
And when she decided to play with the world
Her mind was sharp
Like a glis­ten­ing razor
Pulled out of Richard Speck’s pocket
Blood stained and thirsty
Scream­ing for vengeance
Always at that mill
Grind­ing
Hon­ing
whet­ting
Her hatred for this world

But it was the bro­ken clock she car­ried
Around her neck which
Hunched her back
Like Qua­si­modo
Like Atlas shoul­der­ing the bur­den of this world
It sprouted springs and gears
The tou­sled hair of some deranged Medusa
Waver­ing in mad rhythm to her tor­tured steps

But the wood was cared for
Pol­ished and shone
Not giv­ing reflec­tion
But absorb­ing all
A black hole
Where only night lived

She would smile and touch it con­stantly
it’s hands frozen
In ric­tus
The stiff­ened reach of a long dead God
The clock was per­pet­u­ally 9:47
It was when her love left the world
When her life creased to be
She said
Love would come back
And it would start tick­ing again
Oth­ers would laugh at her
And roll their eyes to the sky
Not I

She was far too young
To push a shop­ping cart
Filled with the tat­tered refuse
Of other people’s lives
of her own

Yet day in and day out
She rolled wear­ing
treads in the streets
Like a Roman legion off to some
Dis­tant con­quest.
Only she knew that destination

I do not see her any­more
No one ever cares
A pal­try few
Really care…
Per­chance
She found a new land
Where her eyes match her smile
Where life does not assault her so…

And
I hope
That clock starts tick­ing
Again…

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.

Another failed suicide attempt

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

My broth­ers hear the crash and break the door down… Absurdly, I men­tally curse Home Depot and their cheap fuck­ing doors. So there I am with a belt around my neck and the entire drop ceil­ing strewed about the room. I fuck­ing hate failed sui­cide attempts. I mean what can you say, “Whoops?” It’s like get­ting caught by your future ex-wife with your sweat pants draped about your ankles wax­ing your car­rot to the Fredrick’s of Hol­ly­wood web site. That has hap­pened to you, right? Please say yes.

I briefly won­der how woman mas­tur­bate. Prob­a­bly with envi­ron­men­tally friendly solar pow­ered dil­dos. I hate Women.

So my older Bro says, “Dick­weed, stick with drink­ing your­self to death, suits your style.” Gotta love my Brother.

So I decide to go out­side, which is a feat in itself because I haven’t left my room in about three months. I find most peo­ple bor­ing — I really hate rub­bing elbows with the fuck­ers. I leave the belt around my neck; I fig­ure maybe I can pass it off as some kind of new sar­to­r­ial style.

I see the mail­man and I was going to tell him to stop deliv­er­ing me mail, I don’t open the fuck­ers– what’s the point. But, I fig­ured he worked for the Post Office and there­fore was in his own pri­vate hell.

So I make it to the over­pass, beneath me is the New Jer­sey Turn­pike. I read some­where; it was one of the most trav­eled roads in the US. I watched the social insects whiz by. I dig the sound. The World is full of songs; you just have to know how to listen.

I notice the inward curv­ing fence and it pisses me off. (I’m always pissed) I mean it’s not like I can’t get some C4 and blow a whole in the sucker.

I know they are try­ing to stop jumpers. Not because they care about human life, they don’t want you fuck­ing with traf­fic. I once saw a jumper splat­tered like sea gull shit on the asphalt. Peo­ple were get­ting out of their cars and kick­ing the dead fucker say­ing shit like:

I got a mas­sage in 30 min­utes I’m late because of you dead shit”

I have a two hour win­dow to cheat on my hus­band and fuck Ted the insur­ance man”

And my per­sonal favorite:

Some­one scrape this dead fucker off the road”

So I mosey down to the local Dot Head store. What’s his name is at the counter. Cool dude but he has far too many con­so­nants in his name. Hence “What’s his name?” Now, he has this pet Ana­conda who he loves, so I ask him if he has any new pic­tures and his eyes light up and says: “I’ll be right back.” He runs to the back room and I run to chest freezer where­upon I start stuff­ing frozen Ice cream sand­wiches down by pants and in my pock­ets. I love steal­ing shit and I love Ice cream sandwiches.

So he comes back and starts show­ing me the pic­tures of his pet snake and in the mean­time my balls are freez­ing from the frozen Ice Cream sand­wiches stuffed in there and let’s face it, who needs frozen balls.

I give him a fake smile and I split and start eat­ing my plun­der. Oh yea, then I went home.

Here there be Demons

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

It was a rick­ety old thing…

The train that is…

Filled with busted dreams

And

Salty tears

And face­less people

Who no longer cared



There were not many there to see me off

Just a few…

They begged me not to leave

Where was I going

I had no idea

I was just going

Who can answer such questions

Their tears were touching

As If they knew

I was never com­ing back



Take directions

No point in that

I never fol­low them

Go right

I go left

Besides

No mat­ter which way you go

You always arrive at your des­ti­na­tion



Look­ing back

I won­der if I had a choice

If I could have changed anything

Might as well try to change

The color of your eyes

The way you laugh

Or

Will the rain away



I arrived

It was a cold place

The Sun sel­dom shone here

Twi­light the best you could hope for

There were no flowers

Just twisted green things

Reach­ing out

Towards an invis­i­ble savior

In that struggle

They were beau­ti­ful



There is much beauty here

A daunt­ing will to survive

Which per­me­ates all life



A dour moon

Which paint all in glim­mer­ing ice crys­tals



An inces­sant breeze

That orches­trates

A heartrend­ing dance



A Landscape

Hewed from Earth’s tired bones

Stabs out at the night

Pro­claim­ing In painful epitaph

I am Alive“



But here…

There be Demons
