The moon hangs heavy in the sky,

Like a marble,

Daring me to pluck it,

And put it in a jar for later...

Shall god bless me?

That I may walk this path

Were modernist cannot last

And never know the sweetest snow

Alone with the coldest winter blast

Or how the snow releases heat

And raise the soul from winter deep

And soar where city can never know

The love of a natural Inuit soul

Divert not your eyes from the fog of others

Nor fix them on those imaginary true norths

Rather remove the clear face of the compass

And as the world begins to spin and uncover

Discover the writer’s true voice

Part the dark with an arc

Beginning with a spark

Call this a material love

Leather scent and smoke

Shielded gas fields afloat

Burnt wire fires the flame

Her red skin feels no pain

Atoms raped and singed

Let ionic bondage begin

we waste our lives

seeking the divine

and clouding our minds

with vices and

sugar-coated lies.

 

When these are removed,

what's left of the soul,

but remnants and

pieces of a curious

mental disease no medicine can cure

and few hearts can endure

Ode to Queen Victorious

 

Blue leaf of eyes she is gone

This queen among queens

With children her favorite song

Gaze upon her pure blue

Eyes of a hero for me and you

Royal green will dress her tomb

She stood bravely

As we all hope we could

As she always knew she would

the lady sits down at the table

the dinner is the one we want

the lady fingers her cards now

look an ace, a queen if were able

the gentleman across the way

he sips his martini in old english fashion

the tux suits his two eights

yes lets split this here and play

the second gentlemen well his eyes are covered

the brim of his cowboy hat provides mystery

wanna bleed all of the time

and for us its

happening far from our minds

its because of the blood, the wine

its all because its ours and mine

going against time and it seems i always fight to live.

its hard because my ear keeps burning when theres

an edgy man nearby with something to give

can i make it down this dark alley

my hands are white and my legs are shaking

i have tried all of the meds on offer

but i swear this one remains the most exhilerating

my future stops at twenty seven

youve got your lighter, silver spoon and your straw

you take all your tenners out because you need a score

 

do you know whats happening

what do we live for

oh yeah

you tell me its to live, have fun and get so high,

that you dont want to run or wear a white shirt n black tie

God Struck, that Graceful Disgrace into Decent 

(1st. version)

 

Am I?

Of course I’m surprised!

A secondary crucifixion

Oh Pray tell

 

Wither these leaves of mine

That stars may pose and shine

Soil tills the will of return

As light of day forever burns

This eternal flame we so yearn
