at this indication

antiqued trumpets wail deliver feedback a sound track

honey moon

ends too. no ice and cream coffee blend

created to replace the dutiful satisfaction

my tounge lashing out and licking

flicking your stick a slippery fish mouth takes it in

violet pastel easter polysester rides up

disregarded from contraceptives
to hormones constant arousal
lost in days hinderance
or a blessing.
months repressed ache
lustfully immediately arrived
high heels
loss restraint despair subside.
female speculations involved
now noticed
her
brief encounters
hair or article of clothing
corsets
complement me even worn old
flattering underlying tone
vibrant dynamic quick

If you’re feeling lonely
And the living’s got you down
You can meet me at the Animal Lounge

If you need some comfort 
And you don’t want to have to scrounge
Just come over to the Animal Lounge

You can have a cool long tall one
Sitting with a giraffe
Mr. Elephant’s got

“It is better left undone ”

I thought the mirror whispered

when I pulled the trigger

and sprayed my face

Windex streaming

from my eyes like tears to

my penis peeing blue fluids.

I gazed at the blur--

my reflective self.

Blue streaks ran the length

of my pierced naked body.

With a

Conceived in her womb

A love child will be born

Created by sin

More hell is reborn

Rachel doesn't know

Neither does Kenneth

Her belly grows daily

Running out of answers

They search for solutions

Confused by the reasons

Deaf to the rumors

Seeing is believing

Both marriages have detorted

Four hearts caught by the

Farmer farmer
I see you there.
You plucked my mother and father from the ground
And set their amputated remains in a vase.
You filled it with water and handed it to your wife.

She received your gift with blushing cheeks
And a hand over her mouth.
She sniffed the bouquet and

You were the Ocean.

You were the running Sea.

You were Mother Nature

And the sun shining down upon me.


You were the moonlight.

You were the stars.

You were the bleeding sunset

Suturing your scars.


But had I known of your ways.

I would have called you a painter

Good morning dearly departed friend.

I dreamt we sat at a table in heaven.


We played cribbage and cards.

We reminisced

We thought hard.


I fought the knowledge of a dream.

The shadows were lit  

And the fruit forbidden.


When I looked at you I saw

A nightmare I once had

Painted pictures of the living and the dead.


It showed me mutilated faces

And distant places.


The world I had known for so long was now burning

Was now gone.


In this nightmare my dead father stood in a graveyard and

This is my grave.

My final spot.

The world is black.

The ground is hot.


The flame peels the skin from my bone.

I stand stuck within a scream.

Staring at the outside of my home.


"Run away! Save yourself!"

She screams eyes red and cheeks livid.

"Don't die. It is

This is a twilight hate.

A hostile tone.

A troubled fate.

In a cloudy zone.


An angel flies from the North.

Shot down by arrows and bows.


To the ground he falls.

To the sky he cries.

With a muffled moan... he dies.


Smiles seen in a

I am your coffin come on lay down.
I won't close the lid I won't send you to hell.
Rest your lifeless head on my coffin bed please... become my little rag doll.

They stare in at you eyes wet and red.
An organ plays the church pews rest and the people pray.
Don't be
