Cautergauze

tension
blur
rust stain

drawn wings on sticky darkness
enamel sheen

bright as razor light
on Ghetto bars

Rises churlish lips
to kiss
angels death

seeping down the halls
of the radiated room
the blue night
full of ghost hours

television tomb

a sigh in the vein
like a drowned cough
at midnight

and the cup caught
tumbling
tumbling

before the hour
dies

the long last sigh

notional time

notional time

the Brain Child of Time,
everything is relative,
the number of full moons
one does transit,
through a life's sojourn,
the number of sun rises
at the equator
since 7000 years ago slated,
all give relative notions,
to the fourth dimension
we all and you too do,
call it Time.

For A Friend Like You

When you are feeling blue

She will stand by you

She will pull you through

that's what my friend will do
<!--break-->
When you are feeling down

When you are out

She will lift you off the ground,

replace your crown

Clear all your doubt
<!--break-->
This for a Friend like you

This is what a friend will do

For a friend like you
<!--break-->
I will break my heart in two

If only so that you can have one too

I will put my breath on pause

At the Sunset (internal rhyme)(Rhyme Crimes WS)

I always wanted to creep 'n
sleep in your heart-ocean
So deep shall leap my heart
If ever you accept the notion.

Or should I be a commotion,
an abrupt motion in your sea?
Know, I shall always be a wave, brave
to save a love, if stolen from me.

walking alone

The sun was setting
on a perfect day,
the last light fading
as the insects played,

The swans were looking
for their nesting lair,
the path was winding
me back home,

a flying fox was swooping
way down low,
the moon reflecting
made the water glow,

tear were starting
much to my surprise,
as I stopped
to dry my eyes.

I had to think
Just what was wrong with me,
Had I finally
fell out my tree,

Neverwas and Nevermore

Neverwas and nevermore
two places I have been,
the former taught me how to dream
where I'lll never go again.

Journey begins at twilight
through a time tunnel, secure
be careful, avoid the shadows
they cause aches one can't endure.

Neverwas and nevermore
two places I have been,
the latter highlights memories
I make with all my friends.

Out of time's windy tunnel
you'll spy a meadowy-like haze,
that separates the field of dreams
from the light and shadow maze.

it could melt into madness

you saw a death on TV, did you see a murder?
complicit, explicit, dig it.....
each book you read leaves a residue
each picture too
there where inside resides a you
the winners write the books
the truth they bring they add to an array
the one accepted for today AS history
the feral truth is mystery

YOU MAY NEVER KNOW

When you see terrible things take place
Like the TV screen, they become
Mere pictures, if they matter not
Dreams and real life mixed to confuse
We wonder with apprehension
Men blow their fellows up with bomb
Not because they did any wrong
You may never know what went wrong
When a goat is chased to the wall
It turned around for a face off
Daring whoever is on its way
Pressing pains eroded patience
Mind dropped down to insanity
Unbelievable manifest

D E L E R I U M

Pathogen deliver
the shores of cryptic hurt are open
this havoc wave is shinning
bright as a button

caustic dreamer waken me
with deliriums boot
tell me Im next upon the wall
the wretched nest to shoot

courage kiss you lent me your
letters from burlap and hemp
the steamers bound
the cargo heaped

color on your cheeks
and now I can feel the
turning of the worm beneath
the fire of the ravaged sky
this fever swarm behind
my eyes

and

the terror of this blue
clear sky
