The Anti-Clause, a legendary beast of nightmarish voracity,
From folklore mythology, a dark creature of demonic prowess,
Lurks in the hidden shadow realm, in a freezing forbidden zone,

“The Lazarus Heart”



In the moment 
time stops:
suspended; seen
in solitary confinement
the heart of a soul
silent light weighted 
in the dark, rebellious
is the meaning of a name
Mary waits four days
in the flux
The Lazarus Heart
kick starts bedevilled 
by...

   "I have seen and heard the vibrancy of dreams, 
and the way 
of the crossings-through the ills 
and through the barriered things."

Knows how to avoid the edge... 

she doesn't need to talk to you, 
...but will listen with intent... 

she used to pull the wings

With you, life has given me an advantage
I've played with the switch and misused the voltage
I've made our connection susceptible to cancer
and created more questions, difficult to answer
I've landed us in a place of unpleasant...

You have had your relationships with many so I have heard...

An i phone is the preferred company

which everyone is lost

Bessie Trissell

1891-1914

Alas my friends,

I finally know the truth now,

So here it is, straight out,

The real truth, which resides in a world,

Brimming with insidious lies.

Come to this aged receptacle of the truly alive.

Shh!...

From the side which Internazionale roasted

In goal was  Ronnie Simpson,the consummate veteran
Who spoiled...

In somber times where silence sleeps,
There lies a burden no one can disguise.
A weight that's carried upon weary hearts,
As death's cold touch inevitably imparts.

Oh, the burden of death, a solemn affair,
An anguish that lingers, an...

What is this thing called Life?
This fragile forging of flesh and spirit
A mocking of existence
A dream like world of nightmarish hell
That can evaporate into a kiss of another soul
Dissolving the fear of mortal mass
Into an...

So many passed by his sentinel in mournful tears
But then a foolish mistake, a murder on his watch

A lone rider sits high in the saddle,
As the horizon's sunrise spreads across,
The open prairie.
Twin pearl handed pistols rest at his side,
As rusty spires clang against wooden planks,
At the deadwood saloon.
Legends cowboys whisper his name,
On...

"Death comes equally to us all, it's true,
No matter who we are or what we pursue.
It doesn't heed our wealth or our fame,
Taking us all the same, without a name.

Before death, we may hold power...
