Jude Herrick Poem
All the world a stage
Our love not left on a shelf
Waters edge, in spades
Written in stone, ring
Waddle waddle kind of swing
Will you marry me
As we take the plunge
Into the depths out of blue
Our ceremony
Is a slow walk, true
Is a path already paved
So walk with me slow
God smiling on us
Giving our Union, blessing
Rehearsal, dressed, no?
Our friends will be there
Will live with us, be funny
At our same address
We'll make days of it
Nights at pool, entertaining
Make a clan, of it
We'll all just commune
Come and go, always here and there
In and out, ya know
Like the melting snow
Running into the pot
A melting pot, a roast, err
We could use for fish
Fish in that great big setting
The one that crashes
Gives gift at wedding
Gets drunk then disappears
Faster than lightning
Take a bow and bring
Flipper, for those who don't sing
Nor dance, sit and spin!
As we do our thing
It's reflected in the stars
Surrounded by ours
Setting in stone ring
All in black and white
Written pebabbles
Have tuxedo, will
Travel, In tandem in a
Cold World, poetry

Jude Herrick Poem
Belladonnic poison seeps from your eyes,
like an electric serum of Venusian alchemy,
one that paralyzes my sense of pride.
My mind oscillating,
alternating,
your gaze,
annihilating.
An infusion,
Uranium radiating me into half life,
as I look up small to thee.
How can you be my painkiller,
stretching rack,
healer,
and a killer clown surgeon
with a knack for stealing autonomy?
Your touch burns with the fires of Purgatory,
a solar cycle casting elemental ghouls,
in a rogues gallery of impish valkyrie.
Propheting in New Moon phases
of alignment's interferon mightocon cell mining,
beaming morse code anecdotally-
You dress me in the dark's fairie mood ring-collar- manacle- you cause me to wear in my captivity.
Endangered in the midst of your wilds,
from your strange type of phi
that echoes from the voids-
enchantress- third eye.
I flop like a fresh caught fish
in your net of silk, patterned telepathy.
You are a siren, a villain- bewitching
the stormy seas- to shipwreck adventurous souls
and harbor them on your oasiatic Isle, Circe?
So why do I feel saved, even in your captivity.
Turn me into a fattened pig, then,
do as you will,
but be the truffle of my descent
as I forage for delicacy.

Jude Herrick Poem
In the kingdom's sanctuary,
atop the regal frame,
lies the emblem of sacrifice,
the crown's hallowed blame.
Nor adorned- with precious jewels-
reflecting royal might,
even more a symbol of august-authority,
a captivating seep of darkness piercing light.
O, the crown, a stately jest, replacing HIS due crest,
a weight upon the brow, and a blow upon HIS chest.
A burden and a blessing, it graces all all allows.
But behind the sparkling thorns, a story avowed
by Veronica's Veil
and a mysterious shroud that spreads wings
over the land like a tapestry of identity
and title deed over Death and Hell.
Of sacrifice and hardship,
manifolded for Man in a bleed.
The journey, ever burdened, by both heart and hand
and blood of gland to seed.
The guardian of Man and the seas
to land squarely at HIS lap.
He doth drink up the seas.
For a crown oft conceals the trials of a king,
the battles fought within,
the tears that cause the mushroom ripple
of restoring, need.
Each gemstone in a crown
holds a memory, etched-
in our individual and collective soul,
of joys and sorrows, of kingdom’s role,
what then more of a crown of thorns?
It holds souls in it's symboligy and irony.
And as a crown bestows grandeur
on a chosen head,
it whispers tales of triumphs, and whispers
of the once hopeless dead.
For love, is a double-edged sword that can rend mountainous rock into a river for a worthy land.
It can build splendid kingdoms or leave ruins
of heart in unsown empty hand.
So, behold ye the one who wore the crown
of might and love.
For beneath it lay the weight of the World,
to bear our plights of sin and bond.
Thus, let us not envy the crown HE bore.
Instead, let us remember-
the heavy share of load and lighten HIS,
evermore.
If we but listen to his WORD.

Jude Herrick Poem
Butterfly bless dances from flower to flower,
sipping nectar with its slender proboscis imitating Bacchus with prospectus,
direct to us.
Streaks in the open air with flagrant color,
as the morning sun gently kisses the earth awake,
now in a mood for romance.
The air is fresh and crisp,
perky and peaked to volley
the sentiment with a mist.
We are caught between-
it's projected as the forefont-backdrop glance
of now's countlessed scene.
Receivers we, deciphering the shapes
and figures that emerge from the silky white
canvased sea-drapes,
characters in popup picturebook,
sharing in the stories and dreams
wisps of love vapor in it's ongoing seems.
And when we find a particularly captivating cloud,
let's lean in close, our lips meeting
for a tender kiss of relativity
that leaves its own mark on our hearts archaeology
to self translate our remarkability of unearthed ruin.
We, embark where time seams, to stand still and everything feels so
wonderful, fully paraledgioned
and anaesthetic of spark hot wiring.
Our with for-abode- patterns in the clouds
of the now's fingerprint residue avowed
in circumstancial placement,
eyes guilty in predicament 'pealing in it's throes.
The apocalyptus that convicts and charges us, takes our breath away to be filtered among,
the living apparatus, peace
of oath boasted periwinks of prose.
The unveiling, heart's Apocalypto seventh sealing.
It's as if each moment holds a unique story of our revealing,
to mine to mime to meme,
waiting to be discovered by those
who take the time
to observe and appreciate them retrospectively.
So, let's lie down on a soft blanket
under the open sky, hand in hand, and gaze up
at the ever-changing canvas above us
-in bathing light, derm imbibe.
As we trace our fingers through the air,
we'll leave our own gentle imprints on the clouds
times nine,
creating a tapestry of love and connection
like a vine of capture
producing love's tanglement wine.
We'll laugh as we try to decipher the shapes
and figures that emerge as our co-stars-co-signed,
get lost in the artistry,
the memories that will forever be etched
in the bio forge of inn between the lines.
A mesmerizing canvas milking dew upon us, eavesdropping briefs of news,
droplets of profligation cosm lens of infiltration.
Can become a magical movie screen,
we, strolling through a serene garden,
wading to be scene, greenery.

Jude Herrick Poem
"I have seen and heard the vibrancy of dreams,
and the way
of the crossings-through the ills
and through the barriered things."
A fleeting spark that perceives,
I, have seen it envision the winds,
be a corridor to a world that cleaves ;
on the back of a great Tortoise Queen,
her shell of Crystallized Diamonds and Obsidian
and winking sheen,
Pregnansing-the nautilus nigh-
milking the Oceans, green -
silken threads of tithe that wander- tied
to the explore,
checking in with a playful bounce off the shores.
In the whispers of the ancient cove that licks
beneath ticklish groves,
secrets of time are carried on the breeze,
each leaf a page,
each branch a story,
in nature's library of living glory.
Even the petrified tomes,
bones to juice amalgamation to the soil
and return its irrigation to report the elements in Delta-Forest,
Naval Seals of Armed Centrifugal Recourse.
Incarnations of creation,
Roses of it's standing, ovation.
Bows of the rains in subterranean dive of karmatic reconnaissance-of-palladium-investigation.
Or in the dance of the flames, memories rise
like a smoke sensered back to the lightning deSkiesed
agent of metamorph with experience's troll,
a ballerina witch in a ballad or a bounty wished in a bowl.
Versation digesting nutritives
lost in supper's mundane conversations,
they tend to veer from the flickering fire's guise
of that tugboat yet christened and yet launched of mind, voyaged tale untold of the by and buy.
[P o e ti c P h i, a Golden Lampstand in the darkness
keeps at bay, a sea of shadows to ghost our veins.
Lighthouse our waves into beam of stage]
To be uttered's of the past, shadowed in light
or is it shadows of the past captured in-
of reflection's fleeting moment,
before taking flight
into perception's miscellaneous bin.
To rummage through drawer
and visualizer and arbitrate equalizer-mender of
felonious reach where tacks hide in bite of warn.
This Realitception, she is a sweet delicious whorn
in the depths of dreams, reality weaves,
a metamorphosis of truths and make-beliefs,
and toll-bridges of entrance scorn.
In a dance of shadows, a play of light,
trance of starkness, wheel against stagnance,
wings for flight.
Food fir thought, in this realm of realitception,
day turns to night so it may yearn-to be
a juggernaught
so that dreams urn in the coming of possibilities
new burning oceans,
of liquid fire, crystal electricity
solidified in the here of here
lightning of desire
offering of daylight to yield a turn to bare.
(To be the dream plucked from un-requite
to be a spin of the wheel of fortune in the lime light.)
Always bet on the true colors of imagination.
They are there to season each in its time for reason.

Jude Herrick Poem
I like the accidental,
incidental
way- the mist kisses and lifts from the timberline,
like angelic lung
that breathes it all in,
drifts to the next flowering,
a honey bee in a land of fairy as our heart's
flutter and are arrow stung, eros strung.
The way the sun facets its beam in
shutter glistened wink,
balance hung in the cascadency of echo-system,
beats, chirps, wakings strummed.
How loving that the lens is left open to show
we are live radiantly in a song and not alone,
not a curse of one.
I like how food just happens to be,
a bounty of giving,
a consistent conglomeration congealed upon itself
and presented as social happenstance
of living happened stance,
aroma of heart lance of delicious varietal trance
of sustenance.
In colors decadent,
juices, magnificent enough to be
a cuisine, cuisinart machinery.
I like the sunrise, how it presents itself in
a theatrical opening credit,
the greeting anew, all be it-
the salutationed dew, sparkling,
chirping song-ward, music impending-
foreshadowed-Mother's teet
sending milk in perfect flow,
"in a brilliance of only One who is in the know".
A verse spoken long-words tokened in a windswept mansions of Holy dimensions-vowed.
In patterned tale cameowed mosaic chord
of harmonic scale to tell, the sunset to bow.
the grandeur of a days production,
setting silhouette cast and an amen
and again by the moon to watchover as sentinel
who keeps watch for,
in the promise of dawn,
in wait, stagelight
drawing ready
to perform from- behind the curtain again.
Aint It Funny How It Is.

Jude Herrick Poem
Your judgments have me grinning.
Don't pretend you were immune
from the Avarice of Pride.
Which you delved past cover packet
into the gutworm of stardoms naked lunch?
Unfolding the artwork of your Deathsnake Bands- ministering to idol hands,
wandering the scent of artwork sleeve.
'Scent of new jacket
with walking around money in the pockets
made of 'feited hourglass sand.
Do you not find it pathetic and ugly,
to keep chanting me me me?
I like how they are stringed pearls of sos-,
smokerings,
death row-,
'peals of that Apple
"standing up to be counted with pi
and to give account"
as a bridge to understanding your insanity
and to give creedence to your selfish lies
of phi,
relational patterns of why is the sky...
-
Maggots of your own carrion luggage
left to fester to the Son.
Sacrificial Poseidon Aquariums,
Babylon Hanging Gardens,
Bloodsport of perceived insects in arena of jar, of Leviathan Media Priests and Running-man television,
(Black) arts.
Did you invent the term movie star?
(Vanity Smurf tearer),
take a look as reality draws nearer.
Symbiose of the mind's chemical- sea trench monsters.
Rally the sheeples to stampede by your musical serenadings,
box spring snakes coiled
in union of souls call of tune.
Do you court the Druids to "tie a yellow ribbon round the old Oak Tree..."
Such Romanticide, needy.
(Your True : CHORUS)
A falling star hung in the air by insindiary glare
legislating from your bench
like Hephaestus tears
tinkering above a lossless accomodater
puppeting to speak your own truth
while pride sets up another soothsayer booth
Lucy, you got kisses for five cents,
while the world is monopoly
burning your marketplace incense,
falling for the fallen to pay for incoming recompense.
So, Nephilim pretending to be our Creators
is your next one, huh.
Soon, the World will see, your sumptuous gush
of trans-humanity
is just mental masturbation
fantasy
escaping the real thing.

Jude Herrick Poem
James Dean Bob Marley,
a Valentines Hunter on a Harley,
ties his horse hog down,
enters the house saloon of get "lucky" town,
Offers imbibe after imbibe
as suggestinal ingestinal bribe,
but forget about her tolerance,
she fell asleep on the couch,
out cold as if she'd died.
So romeo with advance
he missed his chance, ouch!
And he with a wine on his hands
and ****happens-stance,
said goodbye to his smooth plans,
said goodbye to romance.
Was also left with his....in his hands.

Jude Herrick Poem
In the darkness of the night,
a ruby gleams
to contrast a slumbered eye awakened
to feeling,
reflection, light,
Lady "Genie", eyes aglow
like a beast, in mid-stride,
lost in her midnight dreams is clothed in a revealing,
one that will go to show.
Her beauty is like a million stars in a constellation,
radiating with undeniable fascination,
strobes at the mind's ceiling.
Her essence a spell that enchants
for a chance meeting with starcrossed soul,
in mutual translated meaning, instead of blindness
seeing only
money, power, fame, or a throne.
Her countenance
leaving a trail of wonder wherever she goes,
she moonlights in the beam of a sisterly moon
well to do, curtseys well meaning entanglements
her care that is shone.
Before Time's fermentation-
leaves her unknown,
to wraith the shadows of regrets malign,
an unsown family forever mourned, is not fine.
I am not a stalker, a black widow either !
Just an unnoticed wraith in the ether.
In her present darkness under the persistence of Time,
a ruby gleams to contrast a slumbered tithe,
like a beastly eye awakened to
scan the surroundings for possibilities and this time
construct a dream and make for a hunt of sudden life
from sudden death
two minutes to midnight- ovulation tick tock
click click boo...reverberating berating again
and again in her head, clothed in a song of gong.
But this time the voice urged her, encouraged her with a knowing whispertron "Get it on..."uttered from unknown breath, "
dance to the beat of your own drum."
Though her beauty was like a million stars
in a constellation conjunct Venus and mars,
and radiating with undeniable fascination that strobes
the mind's ceiling in a cure'dArs-
and probes with a strung out heart
Her essence was trapped in a spell that enchants
only others, only duty, only to play for others' a part.
"oh if but once, I hope for a chance meeting
with starcrossed soul,
who will wish for me as his booty to dragon guard
and be like a reward."
Though she leaves a trail of wonder to finger
"this way" each way, she goes,
she moonlights in the beam of a sisterly moon
saddened in her aglow,
both of these keeping traditionally the accepted way
things usually go,
but tonight something beckoned to
leave an intangible, abstraction, an indelible mark
to market magic to oscillate ovulate action,
in a new wave and freakWenchSea
under moon's attraction.
She saw the vision clearly in the hourglass reflection
of black widow symbol upon the snow.
"No more haunting visage ! I will decide how it goes",
she bit down on her lip-
blew the locks out of her eyes,
planted hands on her hips-
and put a new plan in motion,
"if I be but setting set -to allure
before menopause cures d'Arrears its cruel conjure
plasters its iconoclast death canning of chasted though urned,
living wine- plucked of passions vine, my vintage stock whisped by the willows
and plumped bottling rack goes dry
before the bellow air of time burns arid turn,
before the falling
leaves leave me unknown,
an unImbibed fermented tear-
spirit sown of the light's- own tinder
sliding sympathy beer.
That's not gonna happen,
I must have faith in the great design,
of that magical burning ember bellowed to shine.
I will not wraith the shadows of doubt,
a family forever mourned by a conceding regret, that is not yet,
still borne of member,
nor membership spent on the sea to beget,
the currency of nows voyage, salty sprayed
and newly wet," she smiles, "and savely met !"
As she travels her lonely road distancing
from the pier, she peaks through windows to glean
whether this is the home of a single man alone,
(so that she may place her vacancy lamp at his door with just the right feng shui as to get him to peak interest back
to rub her lamp and fill her empty void of cursed Tesseract.)
Not a black widow shaped hourglass,
or raven tapping at the window in
CinderUmbrella time torn disdress !
In the silence of this particular night, a melody softly sings,
__________ is where he dreams,
dreams of ancient tales, of forgotten things.
The stars above, a tapestry divine,
a masterpiece of a mapped design.
A lonely star, a wanderer is new in the sky,
longing for a muse, it chutes the eye.
This time, a short time later, Time is on her side,
is a daredevil where events collide.
"He has collected my lamp, taken me inside.
I wonder if I should make the drapes match his eyes, feng shut them and see if his wish is compromised by lights dimmed low in compromise."
That is what she did, and was no longer hid from him in
the World's turns, as he would normally recluse and be hid,
he recused himself from his agony-long enough to
invest investigation upon that deja vuic glint
looking for her nightly, would gaze out his widow,
now the window showed that makeshift urn brightly
at the everence of the moon- to send him a beacon,
a symbol, a sign of his reborn. In a curiousity of hope
still afloat in the salt of his belief,
as it
sprayed him in eyewash, fountained from the deep.
But we see, he got more than that, we may initially see,
in that new medium, of belief and hope
came a super sized family, shone of timing,
breaking his lover's servantly bands,
to be able to serve of her own accord,
a higher calling granted,
with love to a lovely plan.

Jude Herrick Poem
"Blame it on the rain", for business
on your sunny day,
though it is a provider for you,
you provide a poo poo.
World, obstain or remains In your dusty bowl,
she be more precious than gold
and the price must be paid- as payment due-
of diamonds true for ungrateful fools.
Gladness must be dew-
likened to sunny days, may seem so bright and clear,
the rain's gentle kiss, is a soothing veneer.
Keeps hydration to the maximus,
at her station of holding the trust
containing the dusts in gatling bomb tears.
Wash away staleness of time,
gives life to thirsty orphan seedlings, seeds a new beginning in a flourished brine.
Cascading effect affectionately,
is her embrace
is a lofty kind, the world is reborn,
to new heights in kind.
You are a heavenly sight not to be scorned, a site adorned with the ability to forecast chance of survival.
Our emotions glued to your soap of
broken necklace- of sky,
Thunderbird arrival.
With great wings span of expanse bridal gown/drown of tears renewed, our calming trance, eyes
of a past cycle look to return of circumstance.
Gaia's daughterlings, eggs of Life's Circle brings
waters breaking slight of bands, relieving stress with slide to a forsaken and arid land.
Yet albeit imbued like a dance
of an Angel of Mercy pattering
dulcimer primal dance.
You groom the Earth's creatures and Man.
Cold feet at the altar is no problem when it just enhances anticipate-precipitate-eager sweat gland.
You have never narked on couples making love under your theater.
Happen stance, buckles-weak at the knees of falter.
Joy-ned of conciliate-troves, your reign.
Of her highness,
state your piece,
but honor her procession.
A non-void-confetti parade is in order,
in your condensate pangs.
Rein in
our busy scatterbrains with board games,
Family zeal,
moving still, to new frontiers
as you make the Weather-Person a liar.
Now that's something I can respect, for real!
But waving to gatherings like a pregnant cloud,
suggests hot soupy meal.
instill your fertile glade of ladle and our stomachs and imaginations, fill.
As you make your way down the isles, veil in a vapor shroud, vowed to precipitate thunderous spray,
the groom of liquid feel.
To shower upon to vow, off-spring,
chance of
honey-moon.
This poetry is not aloud, just thinking to myself.
Moon says wow, peaking through- to this wedded Life.
On cloud nine aren't we.
Oh I see your "witchy ways", winks, drinks in her radiant pours, says aloud,
"well, played". "Blame it on the rain."
