The real fealty
Fellowship with Deity
Not aseity

His righteousness is manure
God-Man must procure

Can't laugh off this One
Demons in the swine are done
To...

and crashed into a busy commercial pier
the determinant cause of the accident
was a lack of daily maintenance and care
for when things don't get the proper care and maintenance

Twas the Night Before December 25th: Part I
twas the night before 12/25, and all through the country
not a believer was praying, not even mitt romney.
s&m gear amassed in closets where stored,
awaiting the moment “santa” showed, to commence the beatings
once more.

the children were...

She came from nowhere, mouse-like quiet
At first we thought it’s just a trick
But soon her powers were dark like night
We saw her strength cut to the quick.

Covidia came from foreign lands
But traveled fast with power...

Free Fall
I don't know why i always manage to hurt myself on nights like this 
The pain lacks thought and doubt perhaps that's it
(and people don't think i'm a massachist)

Break Open the Windows and Run
Shining frost on the kitchen counters
Butterflies clicking their wings on the windows
Sun free floating undisturbed on my hands
while the water of suds fill the drain
Aluminum space as the mind unclutters
Fish swimming at me from all...

Bold, bright...unmistakable 
she dresses in vivid pinks or purples
sometimes splashes of oranges or golds.
Her lavish flashes of flowers shine
and yet...

this fanfare, flowery mistress 
hides her hidden thorns...

Be compassionate and susceptible to 
understanding,
Listen to the...

Was it you wouldn't be caught dead
to identify me as your blood
Did I cork up my love
or were you cheesed off with this...

No Voice, No Name
Bloody fetus ripped to shreds
Tissue mass scarlet red
Ancient slime, evolution stew
That was all I thought of you
Your life demands inconvience me
I'll kill you now to keep me free
My idol, my god, myself be praised
A sacrifice...
