Crossing the addictions
of body and soul
Delirium tremens
is taking its toll
Like Nitro and Glycerin
waiting to strike
Their coupling disastrous
all day into night
My spirit when willing
the flesh all too weak
Those few days I’m able
my willpower bleak
The detox not working
no cure comes my way
All food tastes like poison
these shakes here to stay
A bomb ticks within me
its fuse ever burns
Tomorrow a concept
long stolen unlearned
With nerve endings fraught
and my body destroyed
These nightmare’s the worst
— when in daylight deployed

A broken heart
Shattered dreams
Leads to a life full of pain and misery
A lost soul
Forever forgotten
Drifting Away
Spun like cotton
Experiences learned
New process begins
As the world turns
The hot sun
The cool moon
Rise and fall
Leaving afternoon burns with night brawls
Knowing the trauma from it all
Feeling the emotions of past bad memories
Drifting quickly through my eyes
Glycerin heavily
Forms an ocean cry
When will the pain pass on by?
Until the orange blossom
Rises again with a blue sky

If you poke an alligator with a snake
Or you dance the foxtrot on a garden rake
Or you kiss a crocodile
Cos you love its big wide smile
Then you’ve lived a lot too long for goodness sake
If your tea time treat is poison ivy cake
If you paid a gangster off with cash that’s fake
If you just topped up your gin
With some nitro glycerin
Then you’ve lived a lot too long for goodness sake
If you pour hot chilli powder on your steak
Or you ice skate on a barely frozen lake
If you throw a punch or two
At someone bigger than you
Then you’ve lived a lot too long for goodness sake
So why don’t you sit at home and learn to bake
Learn to cook a three course meal or carrot cake
You could practice origami
Til you drive yourself half barmy
Then you’ll know you've lived too long for goodness sake

Alas, mine winter love I so love curious crystalline Arctic frozen ice winter
Sporadic glycerin white as porcelain shines mid day and night
Snowing paradise crisp cool so bold tantalizing dusts of snow
Brilliants as a diamond as a jewel ever royal shines oh so bright
So pleasant captivating views white glaciers blinding to the eyes
Sparkling hues of this the seasons most frozen love this sight
of all winter is the season that I'm most in love with
As I shake and meditate in this the blistering cold
Every bone frozen to my core skin dry-brittle to my soul
I need be acquainted with the warmness of the winter, my winter love

It’s Twine Time!
(to Alvin Cash)
It’s twine time!
ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah!
It’s time to twine, baby!
Time to forget about it all!
The latest lollipop disasters,
The catastrophes dressed in nude attire,
The latest bristlecone attacks
Manufactured with iced fear,
Riveted with barbecued bullets.
Lookin’ good, baby; have mercy!
It’s twine time!
Passing grooving styling peeps
Living lives in psychotic bondage
To the ghost children, still
Living fast episodes of ennui with
All the random traumas,
Passing all the purple bruises,
The red-stained tears.
It’s twine time, baby!
The far-out space girls
dressed in sheepskin adornments,
Intense as roadside bombs,
Made of acrimony and glycerin.
Yeah! Them that are wearing
Dancing boots made of twine!
It’s twine time, baby!
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah ooh ah!

Emotionally blackmailed
Though corporate man I am
Last night I watched a social movie
I wept with them, wiped the tears secretly
this morning I remember
that was just an acting,
where the tears part of film
actors and actresses use glycerin

Glass of water
Invisible can't see liquid
Glycerin tasty beverage
Quench thirst surrounds me at Birth
Added with food and other nutrient
Help me grow taller
Glass of water

From the well
the soft water
she pours on mine flesh
slowly
I feel the cool
And her warm hands ‘pon
my flesh
awash with glycerin
cause the thrust of words
my plea
please
Yesss
our flesh caused slide
and tender feel
until the rupture of love
caused sleep
on dry leaf
