"Penny Dreadful"





Penny Dreadful
Penny Dreadful

Do you remember when?
That time long before Formaldehyde kicked in?
When the Transformer grew your freedom wings, blew your neurons in?
That time when your story kissed her Blue Violet bleeding grin?
A wet ripe juicy bruised plum for sucking sins

Penny Dreadful
Penny Dreadful

You are fed full fat Love hard
on Electrifying whims
Be careful what you care for
When the other side comes knocking in
Milk Wood Deep Violet Black Begins

Penny Dreadful
Penny Dreadful

Never mind the Banshee call
Blessed are the Ravens
Black beaks open blood red caverns
Blush Pink throats wanton bruises spoil
Ah, a sigh, long wise pause, then you suffer through remembrance
your lost and hungry bleeding Nosferatu call

Coleridge he chides you,
“So measureless to man, you are mere Novitiate Disciple -
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing
A mighty fountain momently was forced? Good God man!
With the Light Storm in her hands, your defibrillator bursts!"

Penny Dreadful
Penny Dreadful

Perched on the Razor’s Edge
A dream to dance in Sunlight
Wanton kisses pierce through all your Dying Dark Knight pledge
Coleridge buts in again,
"But, what say you then? Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail?
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail? She has you by the tail again?"
And your reply my friend,
"By my lightening rod I have her spent, in my imagining."


Sings chants of silent monks dressed in cut Scarlet and Vermillion
cerebral slow lust is long and deep and low....singing visceral 
put full ache to ride below Below, 
in caverns measureless to man -
swans long necked and wings wide spread
their kissing lips are deep and stinging
put aching ripe cherry lips to bed 
in Latin
when the Vesper Bells are ringing

Penny Dreadful
Penny Dreadful

Her name was Maude
Frankenstein raised her flower to the electric morn
and life again was born
Brighter than Sunshine
squeezed tight and bright 
with the lights turned on and curtains drawn

Penny Dreadful
Penny Dreadful

Coleridge says in daft dismay, 
"Tis a sin, a curse
to want to possess
her Pearl Purse 
to the Electric Storm"
