Ipnotico Suggestions



Crocodile voices whisper
in the loneliness of your serotonin void
Calling out from the dark deep,
they 
        speak 
                   seductively ... 
urging you to come closer 
	to the edge,
and step off into the murkiness — 
Dark Shadow depths of moral ambiguity

Attic warm, wooly fond memories 
clothe the coldness
of your heavy cynical chest
Those emotional cumbersome, faded picture frames
only tell half the story

As you sink into the Darth abyss,
		to greet the devouring Vader words 
which temptingly suggest — 
That you can have the whole
of whatever it was you lost   ...   and so much more

A glut of pleasurable sinsations
          velvet touch drown 
your chaste, austere inhibitions 
The drip      drip      drip   of temporal torture,
fills your cracked     ern thoughts
                              st
                           ci
with vain epidermal things ... 
Naked desires, which heretofore 
were foreign to you

Ipnotico suggestions,
of coral reef carnal beauty,
lures you into the deep  deep sleep ...

where awakened Leviathan jaws
are opening

I love to present "death" ... spiritual or literal or figurative in a poetic skin tone. Bleak is my bone of contention. Meek is my stepping stone of ascension. Thus says the Grasshopper, as he contemplates his next quantum leap. All things spiritual and scientific are my interests. An ambassador of Jesus Christ is my lifelong profession. Ty for asking, sb. Love and joy always.
