Shadow Play

While Freud sits at the mind end of the couch phallus in hand
shapes others’ dreams in unspoken imposition ‘must-abation’
analyses abuses his daughter in metaphorical incest projects
his own aggressive sexual drives and neurotic megalomania

Jung after killing the father figure sits with and under shadows 
gathers the zenith of clouds rays collects collective conscience
unconsciousness retrieves ancient symbols propagates mythical 
archetypes to archetypical conclusions reflects tainted sunshine

He forges gently I surmise poles and vaults of contradictions 
opposites polar juxtapositions seemingly un-mutual mysteries
and ponders light and darkness tearing torn apart thus healing
in the complementing contrast of void change completeness

Where Freud posits polymorph perversity bit by sexual bitter
sweet bit in a bid for so called science of mind over matter Jung 
morphs perpetual change crafted and cast through a different
lens admits to poetic licence narration oral traditions and growth

******** in mind not of the ***** castrated in fear not envious of 
phallic dominance over clitoral defence wombs groomed entombed 
by guilt transgression sexual submission shallow **** oral penile 
ossification of flaccid resurrection Jung begs and offers to differ

In complex incomplete never-ending search a path from change to
change and beyond dialectical synthesis played enacted in parallel
processes and progressive psychological drama of a different kind
he much kinder more reflective less regressive and adventurous

Lets shadows erect and paint play dance reflect and move on

Oblivion's Obituary Mty

…the greatest poet who ever lived
…our Lord Jesus Christ

Wishes that wash upon the shallow shore,
Lacrimal lesions of the holographic whore…
Tectonic temptations, the lava shall pour,
Unleashing emotions, entombed we gore.

Mangled monuments of ruins regurgitate,
Surfacing megalomania of demons dominate…
Demonic destruction encroaches to infiltrate,
Demigods of desire will position to penetrate.

Distant horizons dissipating within plain sight,
Frigid frustrations amidst fore playing frostbite…
Detestation distortions of Hell’s agape appetite,
Antagonizing warring Angels take feverous flight.

Falling into oblivion within the blink of an eye,
Idempotent illusions making macabre to justify…
But there stands one soul, whose words do magnify,
Their love spreading thru asphyxiating air to clarify.

Phantom Fear

Phantom Fear



A schizoid severe conjuring phantom fear

Puddles of pain never to redeem and regain

Demons at dawn seductive serpents spawn

Abandoned by god forever fallaciously flawed

Fallen angels spread devoured by the dead

Embryonic evil sings flapping of wounded wings

Meet my megalomania a silent schizophrenia

Forever falling I hear the wavering wind calling

Tangled in torment within a lachrymose lament

Tightening the captive chain again and again.

Premium Member Why Weep For a Winner -

They approached me in an inconspicuous way
as quaint & confusing disillusionments do,
saying, " Hello,    you're the best - "
I replied reluctantly,
" Thats why I weep every night - " ,
crying like a captured secret,
sorrowful like a caged cure for cruelty,
they became silent as photographs missing sentiments,
our dialogue was at an end,
was my statement a joke, modesty, a travesty,

nobody wins something of value by themselves,
One cannot taste the terror of triumph individually,
and risk is instinct to a Victor's jubilee,
I mention these maxims as testaments,
validations for the tears of all winners
who have lost tremendously along the avenue named " Greatest " ,

there exist three inevitable enemies that attempt to impede
the achievements of all great people, ironically,
these serve as motivations not to rest,
first, the lazy luxuries of life that stymie the strength
of ambition and when absent,
induce abject illusions of incredible iniquities
which stifle Will,
secondly, undisguised, unabashed competitors
whom combat without care or compassion for others,
devoid of devotions to fairness or decorum,
thirdly, and sadly, loss of loyal friends,
they once greeted you respectfully, then eventually
cheerfully, dutifully deride you  for  exposing mediocrity,

please don't dismiss this lesson of lonesome liberation via success
as a proud 'pity parade', masquerading megalomania,
or as being dreamily decietful,
to be a faithful, or even phony follower,
to be intentionally indolent or dastardly discouraging is so simple,
so safe,
Freedom is often distasteful -

Premium Member Brave New World

Brave New World

A 'world' it is and it spins around in mad circuits of loopy loops.
Has reached an infinite array of denominations in which foolish
insane clowns have taken over the asylum once more as bedlam 
pretends liberation as the counterfeit currency of nauseating progress.

'New' I have my doubts though when fiddling with reconstruction
conjures novel aspirations from Holocaust to Hiroshima from pure
race unadulterated megalomania to narcissistic greed ‘all can be
done’ but the genie emerges from Huxley’s toxic bottle unrestrained.

'Brave' should pertain to courage when golden means and common 
sense of virtue defaced by ugly grimaces facades mascara of tainted 
moderation succumbs to mediocrity construed by disingenuous evil.
An aberration of jesters plotting naked feasts of blinded engineering.

Temptation is an ancient theme and just because we are capable to
plot our own demise does not preclude some hesitation or valid
inhibition as courage must incorporate the rationale. Not to follow in 
wolf’s clothing a script of Faustian cloning just because we can. 

Manipulation of chromosomes through twisted recombining helices
as a stairway to hell gave us Dolly the sheep. Another incarnation
braying ‘Give me body parts’ to harvest stem cells modified amino
acids like little devils on steroids and protein shakes of unpredictability.

The most cunning argument for creating whole new persons brought
to the fore the notion that if we the ‘good ones’ do not follow science
to create what evolution failed to build from nature’s garden and God’s
promise then the malign others surely will and consequently all is lost.

The mind boggles in the light of self-righteousness and the delusion
that refusal and resistance are signs of cowardice and the misconception
that two or numerous wrongs result in right and law when duty could
prevail as guardian for another world of sanity and accepting our limits.

The thought police and miscreant paradigms of Dolly’s dogma will surely
try to silence my opinion that courage has another merit than the scientific
infestation that my mind and brain needs to be cloned in order to restrain
my voice of caution but when I shout ‘enough’ at least my dignity remains.

Beyond Beauty

I whewed unto myself
I whewed unto who cares to listen
I screeched unto them
I warbled unto all

She is a beauty to behold
But beyond beauty
My dear country is suffering
She is suffering from . . . megalomania

My expected willing whee
Became my unexpected unwilling wheel
To which I wee unwillingly 
At the sight of the whittle

Whence forth is my whet to Whelm 
My willingness to willingly will my will
To my beauty beholding beyond beauty 
My dear country is
She is . . . stealthy coquettish.

In the sea of  swirling dust that is our infinity
Held together by the breath of Divinity
Infinitesimal microdots are we
Yet megalomania rules our see.

Do ants blindly view themselves as lords of their world
In their intricately marshalled social whirl?
Does the Higgs Boson,if it exists,
Boast worlds invisible to our questing wits?

Majestic laws govern our creation
With life's jigsaw of interconnection
Which mere accident cannot explain
In the welter of our cosmic pain.

Marooned on a piece of grit
We fondly believe that this is it.
We can solve the mystery of our fate
As Dawkins and Hawking blithely state

Improve our instruments to deeper fathom
Into the once indivisible atom
Enhance our telescopes to peer further into space
Life's mystery aye  remains to bewilder our gaze.

It is in our DNA  always to explore
But no matter how deep nor how far
Our scientific knowledge we advance
Life's mystery aye  leads us a merry dance

Yet we must to our nature be true
In trying to find a clear  way through
So that we stand proud,tall and justified
But we still remain small and mystified.

Relative is time,the conjuror,
With its tricks of smoke and mirror
In a world that seems so solid
While shimmer its particles pellucid.
Our senses  feel that they truly see 
But we cannot  know reality.

The Lusitania (Part Two)

Explosions rock the boat;
Ocean gushes inside.
The battered stern won't float,
All controls lock their slide.

Listing fifteen degrees,
The lifeboats fail to launch.
Swift decent lugs a squeeze
Impossible to staunch.

After mounting seconds
The vessel starts to slow,
While the stark deep beckons
To swallow them below.

Schweiger spies the turmoil
From aboard U-20.
Acts of rage shall embroil.
Outcomes destroy plenty.

Along the starboard side,
Crewmen sadly lose grip.
Force and terror collide--
Rag dolls plummet and flip.

The Merseyside Bowler,
Captain Bill Turner stays
As the helm controller
Until the sea betrays.

He scoops the chart and log
Before tossed by the wave
To splash down in the fog
As deck chairs bob to save.

Eighteen minutes stalk down
As the queen disappears,
This vessel of the crown
Sheds life essence like tears.

Of the forty-eight rafts,
Only six salvage lives.
Few are plucked from the craft,
Rescued before the dive.

Bodies scramble for life
As the rouge flotsam floats.
Survivors torn by strife
Wait for swift rescue boats.

The massive toll of grief
Demands a quick response.
Liars sell disbelief,
More soldiers to ensconce.

Freedom dies from deceit
Since justice needs to thrive.
Heroes wail in defeat
When covert acts contrive.

So Schweiger falls denounced
For his sinister role.
Yet U-boats do fall trounced
By the British patrol.

Bounties Cunard offers 
To captains ramming foes
Offer tempting coffers
For quelling danger woes.

Poor Lusitania!
Dashed by corruptive lies.
Megalomania,
Shielding truth in disguise.

The sleeping giant stirs
Due to brutal accounts,
Sparking violent slurs
With omissive recounts.

Woodrow Wilson blusters
At the German attack
While the bankers muster
To break our nation’s back.

Indignant elites rule
Behind grim deception.
Lessons untaught in school
Show wicked inception.

Third World War

Do not panic about Third World War
Saying it is somewhere brewing anger
What you see as symptoms are fake
Because the real thing has been foiled

Third World war is being fought daily
In football stadiums of the playful world
These  battle-fields of  war without war
Has magic immunity against bloody war

Youth are suffering soccer megalomania
Super powers are sick with nuclear fever
Veterans of the super wars are idle ghosts
God of wars have migrated to other planets

Now that Third World War has been foiled
Better sit down and watch soccer battles

What Else

what else is there to write about
if not love?
who cares of the meanderings of man
as a soloist?

his woeful voyage of various
passionlessness
engagining in his lonely
megalomania

the capital I(d)

what else is there to live for
if not love?

wandering the barren grime of urban
landscapes
weathering its electric storms
without adore
with the insane belief
that less is more

"no!" i say
this is not for me
this is not
for us

Nefarious Nightmares

nefarious nightmares
demons disseminating death
megalomania masters
umbilical unrest
by banishing beloved breath

Stick the Boot In, Mrs May

Stick the Boot in, Mrs May 

Stick the boot in Putin
Kick him up the bum
Don’t let his megalomania 
Stop you from having fun

Stick the boot in Putin,
Kick him in the knee,
Pelt him hard with rotten eggs,
Make him start world war three.

Stick the boot in Putin,
Tell him that Novochok,
Was made by him with rubber gloves,
Plant evidence in his sock.

Stick the boot in Putin,
Look righteous, good and strong,
Demand he ‘fesses up the truth,
(Even if it probably was Iran, Israel, Uzbekistan or some nutter from Porton Down),
He’ll never prove you wrong.

3-D Printout

it ain't the gush of hot blood
or a madman’s teeth ripping open
a bag of chips and a microbrew
it is a clenched heart squeezed
by the age of steam
then left at the century's doorstep
following the great migration
of Cimmerians to Penemunde
said the monkey to the parrot
we’ll cut away from our intro now
just didn't want the intergalactic
Mind Police Black Dog Terror Squad
to think I had forgotten their food dish
hence the esophageal spasm
it's all a gateway to paradise
where Lake Placid can only erupt
I assure you posthumously volcanically
presumed dead perhaps alive
possibly a victim of hypochondria
needing humanitarian relief
hell what do I know
you got your deductive
you got your inductive
one leads to vacillation
the other to megalomania
I watched the best minds of my generation 
lobotomize themselves with ideology
and lop their nuts off with paper cutters
less out of vengeance than mitigated tranquility
journalists were the first to go
many ifs in the Thesaurus of Legends
you see the words
you spectate pleasantly
inconsequential and obsolete
separated from the five senses
by the five in-between senses
sense of irony sense of outrage
sense of monotony sense of wonder
sense of mediocrity
and a great list of impermissibles
as long as your extended elbow
with curiosity the test of courage
discovering that the path of least aversion
was sweet to gaze upon
in a universe of distortions
this is a level 5 commando alert
follow me men he drunkenly commanded
and stumbled out into the darkness
cursing and singing

I Am

I AM undeniable
I AM the narcotic swimming within the pools of vulnerable veins
I AM the hypnotic liquid swirling about within a glass bottle, healing aches and pains
I AM beautiful
I AM the evening sunset embedding sweetness into fixated stares
I AM the voice of innocent children releasing needless breaths for bedtime prayers
I AM fear
when conscience slips, I AM the nightmare that resists eyelids from slamming shut
and when resistance fails, I AM the renaissance that, once again, begins the hunt
I AM love
I AM the attraction that forces a bashful heart to crawl from it's secluded shell
I AM the incineration of that same heart after love spewed it EVOL hell 
I AM suicidal thought 
when sorrow engulfs you, I AM all you've got
I AM the bullet that aims to finish you with one self inflicted shot
I AM insane
when tears fall, I AM the taste of salt that cultivates your disdain
I AM the iron scent deep inside every drop of crimson rain
I AM death
before you know it, I AM the entity drawing your final breath
lying in the casket, I AM the decadence devouring your rubbery flesh
I AM god
I AM who you worship while you cowardly sit on your knees
I AM above the universe deciding if you've committed enough of those good deeds  
I AM satan
I AM tapping into your mind, taking over your body, it's schizophrenia 
during the mastication of your soul, I AM that sense of megalomania
I AM everything...

I AM the beginning
I AM the middle
I AM THE END.

Santa Clauses were to be molten and reshaped into Holy Cross bunnies
		             on a mega 3D printer but then the app somehow went wrong

Chocolate trickled and trifled and mixed with fake season’s greetings
	                           King Kong and Godzilla leaped off the assembly line with

Witches on lolly pop brooms and then the whole show went viral
                             Mephistopheles aliens with marshmallow ears danced merrily

Suddenly truffle snakes in seductive icing sugar bikinis tested tempted
                        cotton sugar candy apples as big as paradise vowed and allowed

They all swirled swished and tumbled to cacophonous tunes that had 
                               to be labelled as retro and neo-modern-classical rap-sorties

At the exit of malfunctioning malls the Easter display went a tad pear-shaped
	   as soon as the rabbits slipped out of their hats and mounted the chickens

The mistress and master of ceremonial clangour had at problem at hand
	                     and some egg on their faces thus they squirted and squinted
They pondered and squandered with no solution untouched for the task
                       how to make more profits and be politically correct just the same

‘Megalomania’ and ‘Mega-High-Money’ the respective CEO’s of ‘Turn water into 
                          wine’ and the start-up ‘Chocolate Merry Go Round for the Soul’ 
Could not fail in this venture as not to have their heathen bonuses 
                                                                  dissolved into cocoa mousse splash

After meetings and brain storms pilot studies and polls they decided to craft
           a whole new religion (the Independent Unseasonal Reformed Epiphanists) 

Fortunately the United Philistines of Consumption were too busy to notice that 
            the newly created faithful were simply rehashing an old dogma of money

What a shame that those lovely chocolate coins have gone out of fashion and
     That Buddhists would not want their spiritual model to melt under the fig tree
