Primary Lesson - End of Class
Here is a lesson, a tortuous tale for your next-of-kin,
About a political hack we'll call the Bigly Pumpkin.
It's a bit like star wars, he is more an older Anakin,
Who fooled the Nation even though he's...

My Second Soul
Negativity runs through my blood stream
Stuck and demented within this mindless dream

Have you heard the ghosts' voices when you sleep?
Or feel the icy fingertips dance across your neck when you weep?

Do you see the demons...

Hoping that someone was there, who would kindly let her in.

We set sail as Reggae music played out on the Lido.
Our first night was casual; no need for tuxedo.
We could eat a pizza by the Windows On the Sea
or go beneath and dine on shrimp...

Taking Care of Insects At Sea
The battle raged on, the artist uninjured, but soaked in blood,
The dead and dying, cursed by good aim they still feel.
The valley split by the cool of water…and a crimson mud
The noise of the pain...

Where Did You Go
This hurt keeps me awake
The pills can't dissipate this emotion
This alcohol can't black me out 
If only I could give a magic potion

I see your face everywhere I look
Like an angel beguiling a glimmer of...

Circus
When the monoliths burst into shock-horror flame,
People gaping through windows at chaos again,
The box in the corner shows all that was done
From multiple angles, repeat and re-run.
If someone could stop it, pray God that they...

Inglenook
Inglenook 

She, the face in the embers, 
The remnants of a raging fire,
Smoulders like a cigarette
Between lips of lustful desire. 

Where men stoke in gay abandon, 
Pokers hot as blacksmiths arms, 
To fade and die...

O How Great It Is...
To be alive on this day!
Heh, Most unlike you!

You're Deader then dead
Just like the wooly mammoth,
Who's also your dad

I'm alive in space!
Without a care or worry...
I'm forever free.

Remember highschool?
Well, I haven't...

The Deeper Our Love
The deeper the love
the deeper the wound
all of heaven above
is wrought with angels that swoon

The farther we go
the farther we have
this path is long
we travel in-half

The more I have
the more we lose
this battle is not...

Dear God, May all cardinals be red
May the pope be Catholic
Bless bishops and their pointy heads
May their coffee come in cups 
Filled to the brim with liquid
Caffeine free until Thy kingdom comes 
Until the end...

Someone died last night
And no one even seems to be taking notice of their passing
Who had once been, is no more
It wasn't reported on the front page of the news
Or on the back page either,...

Should see one he does of jolly Jeff Sessions;
And when Trump is up tight and all tense,
Has made marvelous one of his buddy Pence.

Luna's Sept
Descend to join me now in Luna’s sept
Before the summer storm’s pale vision
Disturbs the bed of glory where you slept
And sighed at passing time’s derision!

Arise and sow your wonder over hills
Where free birds can outlast...

Deader Than a Dead Thing
Death is tapping at the door
My blood is pooling on the floor
Pooling, puddling, soaking, staining
Blood is on the floor

Death is knocking, knocking, knocking
Let me in he says, mocking
My blood is dripping on the floor
And Death...

Bats do fly on this spooky autumn night
Land on an old tree that’s deader than dead
There’s a noose that hangs from the greatest height
Hangs over the grave of man with no head
