Long Cat o nine tails Poems

“The Fallen”



Remote,
he sees himself 
in the reflection of cold close 
yet distant shop windows, 
his final journey along the 
Hard Time Road
walking alone, 
unforgiven, no home
for the rest of his natural life 
a million knives...

Those primeval skies, no man ever knew
Ignited, as one massive boulder burst through

Strapped themselves in as they plunged into ice
Instantly boiled then instantly frozen
None were to question the planet they'd...

How can I possibly make it under the word count?
So many pages and items itemised mean that descriptions...

you used your charm
one daughter 
of satan
in slithering
sins of the flesh
eating into the heart

burning down castles
in black burning
sulphur dragon breath
lusts the demon of love
tearing down foundations
lusting broken in heart
temptation comes
her craving darkness
a joker

chopping axe like

I watched the most beautiful man
being led in shackles today
no one could tell me His crime

bloody stripes left their trace
upon His back so strong and...

Sorrow had passed his way many times,
said the lines across his brow.
His truth was challenged again and again,
but to lies he refused to bow. 


Even in the face of death,
his ground he firmly stood.
He'd taken...

My heart hurts
renewing old scars
into my soul the pain inserts
past inflictions putting up bars
i need to breath
but the pain is strong
its making it hard to see
and messes up my sense of right and wrong

every heartbreak, ache and grief ever bestowed

I once was a farmer
I worked the land
I reaped the corn 
With a scythe in my hand

I ploughed my furrow
I sowed my seed 
I grew my crops
My family to feed

One day hot and thirsty 
With...

Bow serpents and lions
Ingenerated from Demora’s shrine
Graced from Gia’s star
Blessed with serenity, strength, and beauty
Chanted by Diablerie monarchs
Dancing enchantress witchcraft coursing into Archellion blood cells
Evolving woman and beast of Strata, the cause of famine
Life sources...

on looking for the mission,as it was once

Onward ever onward down the awesome lanes of time,
Coming going, dying reborn, another life inclined,
One time in Tasmania the Pommy hunters killed us out,
A prisoner in irons, cat of nine tails cut about,
Ever suffering for...

Shallow Man



I am for want of a better explanation
A stupid and inconsiderate man

For all my confessions I profess to love
I am selfish
Thoughtless

I hide behind eloquence
Poetry I write deceives my heart
But the mirror shows me up...

The night descends with a button down moon
against a powder blue comforter sky,
fluffed and puffed with the down of seed
cat and nine tails bursting with pride.

The mothers have called the dinnertime

America Gentleman II
	

His long stripped Hat is a storey thing
Yet his head scantly fills it to the brim
His Brain being below the first floor
Floats in the scar sprinkled Skyscraper 
Vaunted as “Most Sublime!”

The basilisk is looking my way
Time fragmented into memorial shards
Explosive regeneration hides pain

Long-suffering shattered the window’s streaked pane
Tongue snapped like rubber band stretched beyond hell
Deep shards of blood pressure, jagged terrain
Fingernails screeching down slate boarded cell 

Tongue snapped like rubber band stretched beyond hell

The bravest soldier, 
But never did He,
Wear camouflage,
But bore a tree

No metals of honor,
Just a spear in His side,
And nails in His hands,
As on that cross He died.

No fox hole to hide in,
Just a cat...
