"50 Words for Poe: Metamorphosis"
Intricate souls,
Complex needs
interconnected
Light energy
binds them
2 hearts
2 minds
Become
1 heart
1 mind
it’s all in the
timing
the complexities
of a trick
Reciprocity
with a kiss
intuitive
apport
the exchange
of a key,
The Gift
MAGIC
Metamorphosis
The answer to this
trick
begins with the binding
of his wrists

Houdini's widow, Bess, died of a heart attack on February 11, 1943, aged 67, in Needles, California while on a train en route from Los Angeles to New York City. She had expressed a wish to be buried next to her husband, but instead was interred 35 miles due north at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Westchester County, New York, as her Catholic family refused to allow her to be buried in a Jewish cemetery.

"50 Words for Poe: Monkey Boy"
"VACANT" ...
You lie your head down on a soft pillow
in a grey room
They say you have the Key
But it’s Hell,
you’ve done the work
You’re not forgiven
You’re not free
Someone on the other side
wants to lie down
there is no soft pillow
She’s very tired
But not over easy
Sunnyside Up
That’s not easy
Sunnyside Down
could be
Windows
Open
You see through a dream
how it is for the other
there is no soft pillow
Open
Windows
Now
Dream
Mirror
They see you in their dream
Prison in a mind
Doves sometimes fly free
They see you
Monkey Boy

Simeon
Life ain’t easy

The little one is trapped
between
This World
and That
Break Free
Monkey Boy
Break Free
She waits for the Tooth Fairy,
The Little One
Mumma holds a loaded gun
Whatya gonna do?
Stay?
Walk?
Free?
She waits for the Tooth Fairy,
The Little One
Mumma holds a loaded gun
Mumma holds a loaded gun
Bullets loaded

"Love on a Real Train (State Azure Cover)"
“ - FORGIVENESS -
Liberates the soul.
It removes fear.
That is why it is such a powerful weapon.”
Nelson Mandela
LOVE
"…12
Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
...13
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is LOVE."

50 WORDS
The man with the rope asked for last words - so
I stepped to the edge and looked calmly down:
That’s a dangerous edge, I said - some unlucky
guy could get hurt if he fell -
I mean he could easily break
His leg or arm -
if really unlucky,
maybe his
neck.

"50 Words for Poe: Posthumous"
Moody dark man haunted mind
Lovecraft sleeps awake eyes open wide
while he writes Her, she possesses he, his lovely succubus Monster merrily
a deep embrace into his dreams spectral posthumous bride becomes her
Lovecraft sleeps awake eyes open wide
wild raging fever in his blood is She
a deep embrace into his dreams spectral posthumous bride becomes her
Dark Danvers dances naked laughing deliciously in the fire with he
Wild raging fever in his blood is She
his very own black-hearted soul sucking Calypso Nightmare Queen
Dark Danvers dances naked laughing deliciously in the fire with he
Beelzebub plays the fiddle burns it up so devilishly
His very own black-hearted soul sucking Calypso Nightmare Queen
penetrates his Lovecraft Church 'N Steeple mercilessly
Beelzebub plays the black organ inside he, burns it up so devilishly
Lovecraft is no Poe is he, now possessed by spectral posthumous bride
She becomes his poetry

"50 Words for Poe: Rouge"
Rouge, sweet stains
the bleeding mouth of the brain
Green poison from
the tongue of envy a postal note from Hell
Rouge makes a bed
with an enemy
Knife slices the insipid pale
in the bucket lies Hell's abysmal fail
Rouge, dances in 3 inch sharp knives
Rouge, slices lips and rips through black the widower's widow's veils
Rouge Stilettos 'round a slick Rouge Rue Pole
Slices through a dullard’s mind, eats it like Hot Creole
Diamond eyes smiles
Dark Vermillion gives a deep twist
There’s the knife
She’s wearing the cache
a glistening string of rare pearls
Silver Lady on the Open Road
purrs

50 Words for Poe: Vide Cor Meum
Look into my heart
see it’s sinew ripped
in the hole daisies grow
and death renews
forget-me-nots
unfurling crushed blue
from their
black soiled
deep dead
purple sleep
Vide Core Meum
slowly burns
the earth of me
forests roar
barefoot walks
through broken glass
then, nine inch nails,
the vanity fast retreats
where Raven wings
fan the flames
blue ribbons
veins complete
cor
caws
from it's bleeding
Poe-kept beak
this is where
the bushfire starts

Lillith is awake
Singing to her

“Every tree in the forest has a story to tell. Some of them were burnt but they endured the fire and got revived; some of them were cut, their barks injured, some people pick up their leaves to make medicines for their sicknesses, birds used their leaves to make their nests, etc."

"50 Words for Poe: Shark"
The Shark’s name was Bruce
he liked to drive with his head
hanging out the car
mouth wrapped around a
Montecristo Dantes Cuban Cigar
They met in Wichita
Room 101 in the
Hotel Cicero
“Hey babe,” he said
“I know,” she said
“You wanna marry me and
you wouldn’t be dead for quids”
“Hey babe,” he kissed her forehead
“Yeah,” she said
“Let’s go to the Boat Shed”
They got out of bed
Lake Tahoe next
Bluey was waiting with Bugsy
in Las Vegas at the Flamingo
he'd be wearing Red for Siegal
free as a bird
Meanwhile,
She'd gone all Jonathan Livingston Seagull
In another world
Brisbane and Sydney were dead
...
She’d put a bullet to both of their heads

"50 Words for Poe: Styx"
Sleep now
Your Nepenthe has been taken
listen to your dream
what you pay alms for
requires surveillance
this is where she is reached and seen
in her dreams she dreams within your dream
He whistles in with the wind
Like King of the Hill
Incubus sucks her soul in
she sits in his boat
long bare legs wearing
Red killer stilettos,
"Persimmon" on her wiggling toenails
She's all covered in Sin
she smells good, ripe for kissing
sailing on Styx
towards some kind of destiny
Him and his hot dream
on their first tryst
this vetoes all need for safe religion
when he looks at himself,
God is in the mirror
staring back at Him
He smiles a Jack Nicholson grin
In vivid hues of Blue
he dreams to win
She whispers,
“Baby come here, come in”
This is all he needs
He's already on his knees
She becomes
His strange new religion
The Black Raven softly sings
Purple is the colour not Red, that 'reals' him in
(LadyLabyrinth/2019)
"And I'm not one for thinking twice,
But I know this much is true,

"50 Words for Poe: St John"
St John was his name
Sinjun for short
Temptation was his game
Ah Black Monk of my dreams
A hot car on a fast track
Shifting gears
I burn up the road, turn up the stick
Fast and furious got nothing on
Brother Sinjun’s Black Monk’s mojo bag-o-tricks
He sits in the passenger seat
101 goes to 190 around a devil-of-a-curve
200 hits his cerebral cortex, ignites his adrenaline cortisol hormonal nerves
Homeward bound suspension of disbelief non judgement served
Aston Martin Bond-like, covert, under covers with the Nurse
The thrill of it all, he’s in a state of Anti-Christ Ataraxia, convivial
St John was his name
Sinjun for short
Temptation was his game
On the Road driving home with Sister Pheromones Bellisima
he can’t wait to take her confessione Hyperpyrexia and
with big benedictions absolve and never cease to perplex Her

"50 Words for Poe: Winter"
Hey, you know how it goes
when you had your first kiss
Poetry kind of gets you between
the gonads with that kinda shizz
Yep, you’re lost on the swell when it
hits that frizz
You just gotta hit the surf and
when the waves come for you
dive under the Effers
You’ll come out of the Lemonade, betya 10 quids
Head up, you’re King or Queen of the Waves
This is how "IT" begins
Sharks, bellies full of sunk brave
are there to awaken
"Kavorka"
Byron knew that biz
"Kavorka"
Poetry in Bliss
Go on
Deal those cards
Black Jack
No Pikers
Never pass this way again
It’s Now or Never
We’re ALL heading towards Winter

"One always has to be willing to lose to be able to win... in battle and in life.”
"50 Words for Poe: The Wicker Man"
Lost in the fire of his own mind
Lost in the fire of his own heart betrayed
Lost in the fire of his own life arraigned
Lost in the absence of Love, always
No Home
Man on Fire
Afraid
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own sorrow
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own soul
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own today n’ere tomorrow
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own higher-self to remember
Time now to let go
Time is not borrowed
Burn the past to find Home
The Ocean calls him Home calls him Home calls him Home

He was an Albatross
She taught him Seagulls
Another language
LAX was nothing on
Heathrow, decision made
She had decided to catch
a flight over to old Blighty instead
Haunt the Hell
out of some cross-dressing
poet who had taken a
break for a spell
he’d gone all troppo in his head
Yeah, she’d go ring his door bell
Earl Grey tea and
Spotted Dick puddin' with
some of his yummy custard
Raspberry Jam, clotted cream and
toast some fresh bread
play Scrabble
have a few laughs
in his warm bed
She had research to continue ...
Skipsea
Holderness
Columbus was the name of her dog
he was a real fright
she decided to bring him along
on the journey, the flea bag,
she’d keep him on a tight leash
he’d leave the stewardess in peace
and behave on the flight
Seagulls, another language
Good luck it is said
Albatross caught in mid flight
looking for home
looking for cover
under a nice eiderdown doona
he thought he was cool
alpha ahead of the others
“Woman”, he thought
“I’m cool, I’m way out of sight”
Columbus was the name of her dog
he was a real fright, Bull Arab X
She'd keep him on a tight leash
He’d behave on the flight

"50 Words for Poe: Inviolate"
Inviolate
I walk bare feet
towards you
unknown
I contend to
know you
but I do not
where is the mirror
to hold up to a face
on the other side of me
you are merely
speaking to a screen
You are scrying
ghost bees
in the dark
honeycomb
sticky,
tasted like braille
eyes open
but closed
felt
but lost
in frail contention
you fail to find me
elusive true
walking talking
to a phantom
soft self-serve
a 2 minute
instant
hot
continental
cup-o-soup
On the other side
I cannot hear you
you remain unseen
Phantom walking
towards me
walk slow
take your time
I’m still lost in your fog
while you throw your
cursive curves,
I am writing your story
blindfolded
wrapped tightly in
violin strings of
empathy
Absolute.
Intuitive.
Frugal and Blue.
No point in delivering
without the glory
who’s to know
when finished by...
could
be
by June,
then again
absent
by -
July.
So August.
So True.
This is how a
