ABRACADABRANTESQUEL

HOW sorrowful my eyes weep
as mortal weeping tears
My breathe, my lungs covered
within filthy pain!

They shower it with jets of savory soup,
As my heart, eyes, and body leaks
beneath the truth of my soul __

Engulfed in laughter, watch them mock,
My sorrowed heart breaks at the stern,
My heart wrapped in a filthy smock!
Lewd and crude, their taunts resound,
They’ve defiled it in every form!

On the helm, their monsters abound,
Lewd and crude, their taunts resound.

This Mind, abracadabrantesque!,

Take my heart, let it be swept clean!
Vulgar and vile, their taunts persist,
They’ve defiled it in ways unseen!
When their gnawing comes to an end,
What shall we do, O stolen heart?
Then drunken stammers from vile friends:
When their gnawing comes to an end:
My soul will wrench, those wretched fiends,
If my heart is wholly consumed:
When their gnawing comes to an end,
What shall we do, O stolen heart?

dEVASTATION Blues

Oh, devastation, you’re a wrecking sight,
Tear me down, I’m high all night.
With your crooked smile, got me in a trance,
You drag me deeper in this twisted dance.

Your eyes, like scars, they burn so bright,
Reflecting my pain, and it feels so right.
Time’s a blur when you’re around,
Everything’s spinning, I’m lost, I’m bound.

Yeah, love, sweet love, how it kills me slow,
Like fire and rain, I just let it grow.

Devastating love, it’s what I crave,
A love that drags me right to my grave.
So burn me down, darling, with all that you are,
And we’ll crash together, never too far.

As I LaY MYSeLF TO SLeeP I PRAY THE LORD MYSeLF TO KeeP

AS I LAY MYSELF TO SLEEP
I PRAY THE LORD MYSELF TO KEEP

go to sleep little one
go to hell where there’s no prayers
go to heaven where no one hears you

Exit –> life
ENTER –> eternity
(we walk alone)

I TUCKED YOU INTO SOFT ETERNAL SLEEP

be in the never-never land
be in a dream so deep
be – come a shadow of yourself
(i walk alone)

ESCAPE –> self
ENTER –> recycle

One eye open
One eye closed
One night fades, forgotten, decomposed
(my shadow my only friend)

go to sleep little one
go to the place where time dissolves
go to the silence where all resolves

EXIT –> fear
ENTER –> forever
(love always beside me)

A HUNDRED POEMS – LXXXVI

MY LETTER TO YOU

Dear, speak not of the storm that weeps in feelings deep,
The butterfly endures the deluge, the fire’s keep.
What flower doth bloom in dreams, serene,

life burns a fire in souls
never forgiving good deeds

In visions, still, where worlds convene
A burning bush, its flames, they soothe,
Embracing souls, in passion’s truth

seeking for a heart of gold
and we’re getting old

I dined upon your essence, pure,
Touched the soul, a love so sure
In ships of dreams, I sailed the night,

how i’ve sailed the ocean
been to hollywood
and now getting old

Fell into love’s soft, endless light
You, my golden molten grace,
In your love, I find my place

lived in Jean Lafitte’s house in the 70s
and walked the wood he lived
a house now burned down

Time’s eternal clock winds not astray,
I’m yours, in love’s unending sway.
Once upon time’s delicate thread I soared,

Through space, my wishes, like stardust, poured.
Wayward, I carried dreams in flight,
Masked wisdom, veiled in the night.

In the cacophony of life’s design,
I became words, where voices entwine.
Those who loathed what I conveyed,

I devoured, their echoes frayed.
In the tapestry of spoken song,
I found my voice, where I belong.

THE EDGE OF INFINITY

WHEN i took my Soul
into the ocean
i left insanity ashore

low winds when i took
the watch — gentle breathing
filled my empty sails

and i know one thing:

it’s where i want be

I closed my eyes
for a jab sailor
filled my lungs to sing

The ship moved off shore
pointing true north
Awake at last lover

and i rest inside myself
with no super answers

Water moving with rudder
and within my ears
it sounded so strange

Who deserves love
an ocean breathing
smelling like love

mistral wind

I always moved with winds
and carried dreams
to the deepest oceans

as if the sky should tear
and show a deeper blue
and that a futher stretch
but a supposing too
of worlds beyond the veil

Untouched by stars or air
themselves the edge of space
unseen — infinity is there.

HIGH-WIRE ARTIST

The heartbeat’s too faint—
I tried to skip
down the boardwalk path,

the corner of my carnival eye glossed,
where pinks and reds
bled into blue,
and a thin blade of sadness
sliced through the ocean waves

I saw you drowning
in your carnival suit of cheap life.
Did you hear me call?
I shouted, “One more smile for life!”
But the pudding seas swallowed you whole

Now I walk the high-wire,
this tightrope called falling life,
teetering between the sky
and the abyss below

I felt the wind breathe
its quiet warning,
as the rope trembled beneath my feet,
each step a gamble
against the pull of gravity—
yet the crowd cheers for the fall

The sky grows dim;
night becomes my silent audience.
With each sway, I wonder—
is it courage that keeps me walking,
or the fear of what waits
below the safety net?

THE PHANTOM STRINGS


I’ve none to tether me to Earth,
No thread of pain, no weight of birth,
Once bound by threads, but now unspun—
I dance within the shadowed sun.

Hi-ho, the grave doth sing,
A solemn hymn, a somber ring,
The world shall know my spectral glee,
For naught can ever burden me.

No strings—so free, I drift alone,
No lover’s grasp, no heart of stone.
They writhe with chains that bind the soul,
But I am ghostly, dark, and whole.

Your arms, they yearn—but free they be,
To touch me near the hollowed sea.
Ah, yes, should you pursue my shade,
I’d snap my bonds in twilight’s blade.

No strings to break, yet still I’d sever,
My fate entwined with Death—forever.
Between us whispers fade to dust—
For you, I’d cut the ropes of trust.

Upon the Volga’s winding sweep,
Where shadows coil and secrets creep,
I’ve met with Ivan’s mournful cry—
But to your side, I’d rather die.

No strings remain, I drift unseen,
A soul unmoored, a wraith serene.

“I’ve got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings, but now I’m free
There are no strings on me…”

IF I CUT MYSELF

Inside my cave i find my heart

if i say a breath stalagmite

i mean i love you

and you closed me in history

and if you hurt yourself

know i kept you in a jar

just to keep you happy

and now you really love life

and clearly you see horror

to be happy horror meets you

including life

And if you cut yourself

and watch life flow

breathing hope

nothing else matters

minds can’t see clearly

There’s no reason to go back

because I was a different person

and now no one i know

FROM DINOSUAR TO ATOM BOMBS

HOW life was 65 million years ago
  big footsteps
  loud noises
  hot atmosphere
Hey you, the mighty Ones
  most walked slow
  eating tons of fern
  singing, “We are the Meek.”
And how their footsteps remain
  fossil eggs
  stone tusks
  frozen hide
And shall the humans
  inherit the world
  nuclear trigger
  social upheaval
Highways with mechanicals
Earth billions of years old
rolls the wheels of progress
  Hey, mighty Allosaurus
  who fought you?  No one
  but we walk in your footsteps
Some say the meek shall inherit
the Earth / We dance in small prints
   Hey mighty Earth born billions years ago
  how you survived eons of devastation
  to make dinosaurs live \ now humans
No one Inherits the Earth.

SHADOWEDSILVERGLARE

with a heart(broken)
knee, i bend low—
am i, your subject,
to love’s silent blow?
all that is as clear
as the whispered “moon”
falling softly from
your lips’ sweet tune.

conception raised her flag
high above the stream,
where creatures bathed in
their unloved dream.
commoner-kings, with wonder
now spent,
began to weep, their
nakedness bent.

“oh, the soft stars of november
are loved!” they cried.

the stigma, a shadowed-
silverglare, i screamed,

“my binding strong! my
smooth white pages! all my
blood and love, i have
fed and raised…”

the mouths of syntax
