Long Marring Poems

Mi Madre
Lung of Life
Heartbeat of the universe
Birth of consciousness

Mirror of the heavens
Grains of sand
Beneath my tender flesh

How glorious to gaze upon you
I weep with the realization 
Of you
Almighty in heart
Power
Awareness

Giving life to light
To energy
To oceans...

Scotch Tape Sweepstakes

The easy to handle
sticky sided material
made of a variety of materials, including
cellulose acetate, polypropylene,
PVC, and adhesive
(alluded to in the title)
applied in an innovative manner
allowing, enabling, and providing me
the means and ways to affix...

Fallen

I am adrift,
My soul is churning,
And the bloody mess of delicate petals in my palm,
Disintegrating, leaking to the floor,
Innocence squandered.

Who are you?
Someone that is trying to anchor me
Who are you? 
A beacon in the night...

Fragmented fairytales, Fermented freedom
There's no remorse for the dead, this I know
For, I've been dead for far too long
While there's not one ounce of sympathy to show
Red Redemption, Rhapsody Right 
I'm bromidic, lost, shallow, cold...

Now for the final act,
I go over to the broad

Swan Song

Stealthy killers have crept
Their secret bullet
Reaching this empty nest
Swans too unaware of attack
Arms aimed riffles

Pleasure hunted
Shock
Smile
Blast
Exhilaration
Death

Only one reflection now
No other dark gaze looks back
No other gliding ripples
All reassurance has gone

The lake of desolation
Coaxed her...

ROSE GOLD (Part 2)

Gold

So much for power, the value of an empire, the value of a nation.
Squeezing from the people this metal of limitless extravagance,
Melting it down and poring it into lifeless ingots and marring...

Reading captions besides smiling lips. 
Reveiwing lifesyles and basics.
 Choosing in a moment or over quiet deliberation whether
 to reply to a flirtatious glance. 
Finding, more and more, that I have little experience at this...

It's always hardest, when there is no one to talk to-
When I dial your number, and it just rings and rings
Until the dreaded "voice mail" picks up.
For just an instant, when there is that brief...

Raging, fierce winds of Mars
marched across Earth’s skyscape,
	in the season of the decline of Man
Fall of the God-chosen specie,
autumn of impending extinction
Twas an apocalyptic mushroom noon
	when the radioactive rains descended
upon the cities of carnage
War-torn topography...

Sinister in their ways do they try and escape

	declaring their guile as an object ornate

Trudging ever nearer toward revelation's delight

	blinded are they in passion's height

Evoking freedom's curse a duo becomes one

	where will they run when...

Red haze
twists and spirals 
around me.
Words float about within
   barely seen
through the 
     light stealing mist,
blindly
    I reach out

She fell from the light, into a world shadowed in gray.

What is pretty?
Is it platinum blonde like sunlight and
Baby blue eyes like sapphires?

Is pretty so skinny your bones pierce your flesh
In a dead and grotesque fashion?

Is pretty lingerie drawn tight around your body
Showing all
Clothes that...

...Is a wonder, I must say, with full conviction,
It's a large 'marine cavern' or a 'sinkhole';
That's open wide with many a deviation
Who else except Nature has absolute control?

Blue holes are caves developed over time, it's...

Cage a soul
Cage a tiger
Tiger has claws
Tiger had claws
Claws leave a mark
Claws create echoes through time
Time occupies thoughts
Time thoughts empty time away
Away to where I could chase
Away to be lost forever
Forever lost
Forever existing
Existing as energy...

oh lucia.

if only there were someone
who loved you.

and not the version of yourself
you know they want to see
but the you that you have locked in your mind

you want the connection
without the commitment because

God made human beings into man and woman
And adorned them - gems into a gorgeous garden;
Never coloring them into white, black, or brown
His image, he poured into them, in-mold golden...

Humans created all casts, colors, creeds,...

Smoking, choking, back slapping bloking,
false bonhomie in the dawns grey light.
Coffee drinking, tired eyes blinking,
rimmed red from lack of sleep that night.

Nervous twitching, raw skin itching,
pacing the floor, one more cigarette.
Knowing glances, some in trances,
eyes...

Should I, mere a rabbit of sand, shiny hair,
sport a shock of fur mired in clay,
they from gofer mounds, propped on to peer, would sound warning
through the sun glades and sleep grotto shades.

Stand I here upon the Precipice of Time
between madness and derangement-
In a grief so profound
ambiance of rage,
with darkening clouds abound
marring my every breath
Declaration to  your joy unsound.

Yet- from this stance
I envision you, my perfect
seraphim...

loves interlude
The story of love
it's why I ask myself
we are best together
seems i don't want no one else
people see things differently
it's different in every eye
we say hello just to say
goodbye
why oh why
tell me why oh...
