The Vampire Monk, Part IiII.
When the abbot came to the iron gate
he made no move to invite me in,
said,”I’ve seen fell creatures before this night,
you are a monster of death and of sin.”
I said to him,”Yes, that’s what I’ve become,
I was forced by a creature depraved,
didn’t choose to be...

Pain In Mary JaneMy life revolves around My pain. Sometimes I wish I could smoke maryjane. In hailing and
exhaling, Sitting back relaxing not a care in the world its truthfully unfailing.
The blue, purple and gray smoke filling up the room. No sense of impending doom.
Everything is quiet...

Summer Fairy LandSummer Fairy Land
Beyond mounds,beyond dells,
Thorough thickets,thorough nettles,
Athwart sludge,athwart crag,
Into creek,Unto mist,
I dost err upon the ether crest,
I dost stray deep brine,
Rovering hither and thither,
Forth pasty cloud saddle be,
Soaring swifter than the blazing speed,
Soliciting heaven's shower for the peasants
Flow! Flow!Flow!
Flow,thou summer rain pour,
Fall accessible unto...

Our TruthOur Truth, the only Truth
Was with Boaz and Ruth
He guided Noah just fine
To load the camels and kine.'
The ark door; God shut it's sooth
Remember that each day,
He garners; as it were hay.'
He trims the sun's light above
And wraps; our mortal being in Love.'...

By George, It's the Same Old StoryThe American Revolution describes the process whereby one George was replaced by another
Though Jack has climbed his beanstalk,
Saint George his dragon slain,
Gulch-Mammon lives on happily
And myriad is his train
His belly is enormous,
Yet full it ne'er will be.
The moment luncheon's over,
It's time to start high-tea.
Gulch-Mammon's teeth...

Thank You Potd VisitsI
I want to honor Jesus
in my life, my words
I fail - every day
I AM forgiven anyway
Honoring Him I change

LordlingMy playful little lordling mine
Gambolling on hay
Pouting shouting scouting kine
Dallying all the way
I lose the thread he flies
I catch him on the skies
From age to age
In sinner and sage
Through shepherd boys’ eyes
The cunning one so full of fun
Merry wistful on the run
From his lovers’ eyes

Kuhio Street At 5amI am sitting here on Kuhio Street
with the old Honolulu blues again.
The early day shift's coming on their beat
in the midst of the breezy, pre-dawn game,
where the last of the midnight street life girls
and their pimps argue at Jack in the Box,
and hotel crews, aloha...

UrContained by myself
Drawing the wages of the bombed out present day
Away from his story, now my story but
Finding no plastic to pay for Plathist words
To say What? He can look at me here now
A shell of a father's folly soon spent
Gone by are his...
