TOWER OF A CASTLE

Within the tower of a castle
within the empire
of my existence

are all the lovely souls
are all the missed gifts
all within a lovely vassal

And if it all falls away
falls away in misunderstanding
there is hope there are some
there are some strong enough
to withstand and exist

And what useless,
foolish regrets
And what harmful,
regretful fears

And within the tower
of my castle
within the empire of
all existence

No room for sorrow
No room for tears
No room for fears

But a world of One Nation
And to hear the laudations
to hear the flatteries
of all the angels…

All within the towers
within the towers
of our castle!

THE SLEEPING PROSTITUTE OF TIME

Within the tapestry of life
goes the Mind:
the rest of flesh and bone
remain cat-like;
a sleeping prostitute
of time.

And within heaven all of the
interesting people are missing,
or so says Nietzsche.

But within hell most everyone
says the intersection of Canal
& Mott Streets in Manhattan are
a killer.

And a chorus of drunks fooled
by numbness and unencumbered

by care drown out the naked lunch
of fear and rejection.

That’s the mind singing, you
know.

So few sensuous souls and
so many meaty mannequins!

EXILED

I have become the exiled
in sleep i have become
not the disappeared
but one who shrinks into
a height of awareness.

An awareness as sharp as
fractured obsidian.

And within the silky-touch
moments of suffering inner
journeys my soul rejects
all coherent reason –
leave!

Exiled consciousness slips
from subjectivity into a
gaping eternal void
of abstract form; The First
Land where numbers, thoughts,
and intangibles are born
and return to rest when over-
used.

And tonight as in all previous
nights it is sleep which has
exiled me from body.

To shrink into pure consciousness.

Freedom.

AN OLD LADY THREW ME THE BIRD TODAY

A tongue like Excalibur melts into mythically steeled words
and ends up tearing hearts with all its magical properties.
Then the universe collapses into a final ending with nothing
left but the, “no thing.” It continues to breath and all words
move forward as zombied penguins with many semicolons standing
whimsically awaiting the next coherent thought.

And the deep dreamer asks, “So let me get this straight Jack”
to the Police Doctor on hand. “You want me to take my pencil
and right every wrong for those patients in the mechanical
ward of broken minds?” Just then a portal opens at the foot
of the deep dreamer’s mouth and the little blue clothed
munchkins drag him out of the ward and into a bread truck
and say, “You’re coming with us to settle a bet.”

The bread smells a wonderful Jesus-like body but there’s
no blood-wine to go with the screams.

ENTROPY ii

My feet
dangling by the mind’s edge
such splendor and sadness
as the tears of my madness
break away from a night’s
prosperity

And sink
within the cave bone
of millions who have lost
their souls and minds

A severity hotter than
the boiling sun
is this place where
there is no love

A ZERO MARK

THE home a zero mark
laughs and cries
between thoughts

so i held a line
surviving to meet you

Time pasts as pawns
across a board of blood
to meet you

And how people grow up
i am surprised so much
That you do not need me

As a storm grew within
your crystal eyes

And a bed of nails —
waiting without you.

All without you.

i see through a storm
wanting and waiting
for more all without you
— if i can live without
you i cannot love

all without you oh oh
no one lives __

Oh ah oh oh ah oh
oh ah oooh all with out you

living without you

i give my angel my trust
i give my life to all
i give my love to you

And you take it all away
And you take it with you
And you take me with you

All unto the snow and ice
All unto the world of cold
All unto the underneath

of the greatest warmth
and all my world’s pain
twisting as a thorn
within my side.

SPENDING THE DAY ALONE

so i spent the day
in bed with your
heart upon my head
days so happy
and i love my
bed and love your head
and the memories
within your head

I spent the day

inside illegal sheets
and wrecked / recommended
news of lovers
feeling large and loved/

— oh time; time i wish
i wish time was as my own

C ompleting with no bus –
no train or exasperations
just us busting walls

as i was loved — as i am
my own — as i am lonely.

of all our love.

A HUNDRED POEMS – L

(Chopin’s Ghost)

THE kiss of cold
–ness froze my soul
a tin can kicked
beyond winter’s road

Hands in pockets
did not abate the shiver
ice-shattered thoughts
as I walk alone down

My cobble-path stones
across the way as I walk
and through a golden lilt
window-soul I hear

Chopin playing on air
My friend-soul I’m told
kissing my footfalls
– – – _ – _–> as I go

CAROUSEL

AS they fall

gently fall

From high tree

to ground

are dreams

as leaves

A season

to believe

The world!

a carnival

As we upon

a carousel

We dream upon

a merry-go-round!

BELIEF IS A WISH

IF the ant should perish

making a home

IF the woman too

within her abode!

AND if man shall
befall grief

AND children too –

What falling dreams
which have no wings!

Belief is a wish
and life a truce ~

the barrier a
tie breaker for
Souls!
