Long Gorgons Poems

Tenebrae – The World’s Shadow 

A very old, odd man approaches me out of nowhere
with his face contorted, fearful, and noticeably sad.

A strange person truly he is with . . .
deep-set wrinkles that profusely cover...

feeling his vitamin injection a new adventure begins
a slapstick epic of unfathomable implication here unfolds
as the rat gnawed curtain rises at Ye Bone and Gristle
among the clattering of wooden pints of bitter ale
the floor show...

Despite cosmetic surgery to stave
inevitable demise cheating grim reaper
indefatigable measures undertaken
buzzfeeding mortal legacy bajillion
dollar industry remaining eternally

youthful cold comfort knowing eventual
degradation conquers biological aging,
yet open casket bestows approving
nods upon aesthetic corpse denouncing
any telltale evidence rigor...

"I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs no poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart"

Cold, emotionless, and her nature, defiant 
Hard to connect with as well as unreliant
A boarding school for...

Man is a jumble of contradictions,
I know, a hard nut to crack!
So unfathomable, so mysterious-
at once a Satan and an angel.

the dutiful daughter standing behind her father
in lightning thick with aegis assurance
read to protect her family

coercing ignorance into obliteration
solutions fly into...

No place so perfectly townsplit,
Half of this street is in Fillblubber,
And the other half is in Cawbit.

"Precepts of the Aegis-Holder" 

no gorgons here
but 3 of one, yes?
shields raise 
back the dead 
to life 

and phoenix 
from the ashes
spreads its burning wings
feathers of blue 
now gold, tra-la notes,

messages burning
rising upwards, it sings

I shiver at the thought of being attacked by owls,
My home infested by Carols' pesky trolls,
A fire breathing dragon,flying around in the lobby,
Or a hand crawling around searching for it's body,
A hunchback with six eyes...

Woo the woman
Love the lady
Mellow the maiden
Manage the maid
Garnish the girl
Dazzle the damsel
Bar the bimbo
Latch the lass
Silence the siren
Moor the mermaid
Net the nymph
Madden the madam
Tame the tart
Court the courtesan
Nudge the nurse
Null the nun
Shun the spinster
Strap...

Inhuman is what this act is
When will this madness cease?
My heart wants to howl today
How one man turned the lives of those parents gray
Can you not see what is wrong here?
Not another moment of this...

Your Words fall like rain drops
And there meanings disappear
They just melt away 
Like a snow flake on a rainy day
Politicians promises soon fade away  

Would I like to buy a chocolate  fire guard
Or...
