Long Amnesiac Poems

The church all speckled with red and white
Billowy white bows affixed to the end of pews
Red roses in vases & all other possible places
A silver lace runner leads the way to impending 'I dos'

You begin with a suggestion,
that you place in your own mind willingly alone,
then redundantly play that suggestion,
willingly in your own mind again and again, 
to the point where it feels like silent chanting,
and then before...

Among the forests of ideas that get lost in dense fogs,
On high cliffs, beliefs carved into the mountain's root,
We stand bound by incantations, by formulas we recite like a litany,
With hearts full of ancient seals,...

Purple people skipping down my acid trip
Warning me of the fall that is to come
If I don't escape the twisted fate that I am eating for breakfast
Diversion from reality
Divorcing misery while on vacation with hysteria
Dancing...

I addressed the young stranger sitting alone on a park bench:
"Hi, I'm Jason Bills." His handshake was firm, his smile uncertain
but warm.

"Hello, Jason. I--I don't know my name or where I am!"

And so began the...

heard from the parent who insists
that the person you just broke up with 
was the best one you ever had?
heard from the parent who tells you that
you’ve got to settle down, that you won’t always...

Lachrymal layers within the Abyss of love’s laments that reminisce
Upon the edge a barbarous bliss which began with the eternal kiss
Where serpentine shadows swell and the jaded jackals joyously yell
Riding the conundrum carousel an elliptical...

Based on my consulting this year’s almanac    
June 30th being the best possible day for a BBQ out back
I sent out invitations to everyone, I didn’t hold back

There was the lumberjack, the...

The TCM channel caught my eye
playing movies termed "film noir"
intriguing movies where someone lies
and theres a body lying on the floor,

The old black and white movie draws me in
with Bogie and Bacall or Stanwyck and...

One day I walked through never land
Without the need to understand
Each crazy paving simile
That popped up right in front of me,
I bathed myself in nonsense rhyme
No need of thought, just rambling rhyme,
Amnesiac the wandering ways

Never before has such a blind sleep made so resolute to awaken
and from the ancient sands of shadows
calls now to the form of human souls

Gather there forthwith, from all that fear has darkened
and turn about...

In the morning I take heed, I need my fix…
Running around like a headless steed, I start to mix…
Just an ambient aphrodisiac, my tantalizing tea…
A dormant astral amnesiac, in a matrix reality…

My deficit hyperactivity starts...

A wisp of oxygen coated in nicotine
A Pavlova tutu caught in the snare
Of a petticoat flooding like a
Mouthful of cigar smoke, rupturing
Clouds and folds beneath her
Like the angel of a Christmas tree

The cold glass eyes,...

Here among the ruin’s stones lie histories of chance
Conceived and dreamed but yesterday, a vision viewed askance
Edifice and monument built by egos whim
Just artifacts of interest in history’s mausoleum
These whitened sepulchers of pride record heroic...

a piercing sensation shot through my nerves
causing instantaneous bladder incontinence 
as his calloused gigantic hands
ripped the soiled bandages off my amputated leg
the stethoscope hanging loosely from an overfed neck
grated against the sore's jagged edges
which alongside...

MIND MUSCLE

Steroid cocktails, metallic flavor, Viagra rush; 
Mind numbing mush!

Sightless vision, cloudy comprehension, silent violence, whimpering misogyny; a blood-curdling hush…

Nervous perspiration, brain freeze, lactic acid rush; Gray matter atrophy flush! Dissipating oxygen accompanied by synapses...

Herein the empty vessels 
cavort, frenzied motion capture, 
compass cracked, fly blown 
dervishes robbed of direction. 

Mumbling lips aflutter 
with poetry deranged; 
dry dock for the ancients, 
amnesiac retrograde. 

Inconsolable and incurable, 
imaginary tasks, furniture...

Herein the empty vessels
cavort, frenzied motion capture,
compass cracked, fly blown
dervishes robbed of direction.

Mumbling lips aflutter
with poetry deranged;
dry dock for the ancients,
amnesiac retrograde.

Inconsolable and incurable,
imaginary tasks, furniture removal,
trailing human waste
they are the cause of.

Beneath a frozen...

Ensnared

I have traveled far
and wide,
In search of a sweet
succulent nectar.
To have found you
I'm filled with
pride,
Your luscious aroma
has raised the bar.
No other flower will
ever come close,
Your taste is truly
a great aphrodisiac.
I tarry a long while
to enjoy...

I sometimes lie
in the groove
of a leaf
and roll
it beneath my chin
like a moth
before it becomes a
buttered fly

the jump cowered over
the noom
take a noomber
ha made you say number weird
and turn a moon backwards
right in front of...

endless sky brushes crimson strokes
upon a cloudless Summer void
sea soft to pastel blue benign
robs shore of its sparkling treasure 
trees drip opaque tears 'pon sharp blades
of velvet grass stood to attention
queen bee summons dawn's light...
