So tired

Heart won’t start…
Slow plastic plasma
Cold cruel blood oil
Damned my stamina

Haunted head wanes…
People stare – walking dead
Red rusted viens
Heart pumping – molten lead

Eyes can fly…
Wet smooth – jade jewels
Free phantoms
Green birds
Tiny television scenes
Color camera shows
Dream machines
Soul holes

Sacred sanctuary…
Sacred sanity
A silver – moon garden
Lies my vanity

Hide me in here
Viewing my world
From inside – a tear

Road Trip

“Pack up the essentials”

Water
Fire
Caffeine
Tobacco tar

We smooth over a million miles in our car…

Spitting like cobras
Spinning smoke like dragons

Suns on fire
Dry smoldering sky

Cannot put it out
Till midnight liquid
Drowns it finally out

Blue ocean air
Cannot cool its anger

A thousand strands of gold
Grow ever old
Within mean hatred heat

This land sliced in half
By a million mile street

Clouds still collecting
Spilling silver lightening

Drops of rain
Slap windshield
Like bug-storm

Villain’s drive by
Like so many circus clowns
Clutching cleavers

Some strangers
Only mirrored glasses
Hiding hollow eyes

Driving from their pasts
Chains around their throats
Like goats

Fat tyrant queens
Slaves in grip

Promenading these highways
Casting curses
Like wicked witches

We glare insidious
With viscous reptile vision

Sending them a howling
Like banished banshees

Whipping their goat men as they go…

Stop in a ghost town
Where all who dwell – frown

“Friend – this town has brought you down”

Lions

Cunning vampire cats
Roaring windy whispers
As they swarm in lustful fury
The screaming prey…

Insects upon fruit
Sucking – lapping
Warm bloody juice
Sweet blood nectar

Far deepening into
Dreamy – midnight haze
Cold – silver oxygen
Mixed with yellow scorched grass

Burning Lion lungs
As they slowly stride
Starlit african desert
Ever stirring…

Dry
Lonely
Wilderness
Hunger

Red heated
Killing visions
Within poised sharp
Serpent eyes

Lustful lions
Forever seeking
Searing hot
Flesh fruit

Insect Lion
Hiding deep
Within yellow
Sky-scorched plains

Where grass moves as waves
On the – ancient ocean

Hiding deep within
The ancient – sun garden

Forever seeking – crystal cooling, midnight winds
Forever seeking – a silver moon

 

Swamp Dream

“I wrap my soul in Frog skin”

Lime swamp
Mint mist
Cool crisp

I let it begin…

I glide through slithe
Lily pad portals
Leering trees gnarl and creep

Something beneath
From statue to stalker
Waking from sleep

Black pudding pond
Seething stale green

Cold oil liquid steams
A million amphibians scream
Within alligator dreams

down
down
down
dark deep

Where these demons sleep
Within in hells wells
Razor teeth monsters dwell

Serpent eyes
Green boiled skin
Serves the serpent of sin

Green
Steams
From seething trees

Algae gleams
From moon cast beams
Dragon flies stream

This swampland sweats…

Sleeping
Deep
A moist green dream

Crickets cry within soil
Toads toil
Within black swamp oil

Spacecraft fly fierce
Buzzing the bog
Another victim for these cunning frog

Worms
Squirm
Within soggy log

Leeches scream – silent mud
Lurking for blood
Nursing Vampire brood

This great swamp soup
Food devouring food

A million bones
A million ghosts

Human, Alien, Reptilian
Lie frozen in time
Under ten tons of sludge, clay & decay

Victims of time
Slime & bite

Here to sleep the eternal night
Never again to see the suns beam

Only to wander evermore
Within the Swamp’s dream

 

The Need for Not

I don’t want to be wanted
For I’m am haunted

I don’t need to need
For it is without feast I feed

Leave me among dried dying leaves
For the dream I weave
Lingers long after eve

Lingers long after lost
Till fall feels frost

So my soul blows
A part of nothing
Save to give the winds something

To toss…

I am the “Lord of Loss”
I am the “Deity of Digression”

And my reason for my lack of believing
Is this “Eternal Halloween Season”

A spell of giving
And never receiving

So down I’m blown
So down dark

Where Arch Angel’s – Arc
Dare speak – not

Dreams

Dreams are the color of mystery
Transcending the agony of night

Rivers of rainbows
Sunshine kissing snow

Raping phantoms
Ghastly anthems

Green bean stalk – skys
Fill your eyes

Colors carve into your mind
And days chase through time

The Hole

Dark day dawns
Hell’s highway yawns

Scowls
Licking its jowls

Barren
Brooding

Dry
Desert stretching

By roadway flying
By now I’m crying

For fear this dying
I’m now denying

Shallow grave
For a sallowed slave

Cool cruel
Cement judgement!

Pure icy metal
Flash strike flesh

Last breath is death
Flesh is mesh

Flying while dying
Ghost screams away

Cursing your birthing!
Blood feeding nothing!

Not even a flower
An insect
A grass blade
A beatle
Or even dust…

This wide eyed soul
Will find no hole

To rest
And be blessed

And the black mass
I drove past

Will never stay
By God I pray

But will haunt
As the bell tolls

Until death finds
It’s ultimate goal

A dark,
Quiet hole

To shelter forever more
This lost soul

Space Man

Speed over weed
Sinister Spacecraft
Through oceans of sky
Millions miles high

Dark lens visor
Coated with pollen
And space dust

Everything is yellow
Alien architecture
Humming haunted
Running cunning

So many multi-colored planets
I must descend
To taste sweet nectar of space

A thousand soft
Flowers I forge
For nectar I need
To speed over weed

Sun blazing my honey helmet
Gas flies fierce
My yellow black jacket

Jet pack vibes me into sky
As faster I fly
Black dagger gleams gore
As faster I soar

My Queen commands
Her million-man force
Seeking golden pollen
Until were fallen

Honey for hive
For this we strive
To stay alive

My Queen commands
These Alien lands
Endless sands
And hollow cans

My metallic shell
Protect me from
Suns – hot hell

Here I dwell within seductive smell
Slave to multi-colored powers
A million sunlit flowers
Where till fallen – I spend my hours

Golden pollen is money
Is golden sweet honey

 

Whales

As evening wanes
By waxen flame and dreary cast
Dark oceans tide
Has crept alas

Shining mermaids seethe
Amidst sand duned reeds
Eyes seduce with gleam
As they try to breathe

I weary for my bed
And bury haunted head
Passing through dreams gate
Embracing Midnights fate

As cold steals soul
Whales of old
Guard the deep with ear piecing weep
Down Winter’s keep – where sea things creep

Silver moon winds blow
Beckoning creatures of old
And they hold stole
Or’ all you’ve known
