not quite a finished Symphony
proposing Moral and Aesthetic Structure of Human...

The universe is all abloom with seasons, diamonds left in wakes of stars (1)

The Reality is 
A broken mirror reflects ultimate terror.
The reality is

We all have the ability to get the pain when expectations run away from our brain.
The reality always hits you.

An apology.

Some people have profound words. Poetically.

Some people are tree huggers.
Organically.

Some people have no common sense....

It's thought quite excellent for humankind 
eyes closed, to pause and stretch the mind;
The seahorse gambols off into the skies
and disappears.  The scholar sighs,
then smiles, picks up his book and pen
and turns to the...

Threads trembling
the pulse of a dying star.

Silver veins stretched thin
the twin sparks of an oncoming car!

Fragile as a lie whispered at midnight
the air crackles stillness
a map of hunger, waiting…

Of beauty so precise it bleeds
eyes like...

Come Out With Me

Come out with me in the shadowtime,
Where we'll dance together in rhythms slow,
Sensuality crawling slow, delightful across our flesh
Feeding on one another
On the rich fare of warm dreams
Dredged up from the dark
Consuming...

Lost along the way from the Holly Cost?

Of pale melancholy
And the infinite fall 
Of broken machinery 
Cast upon vast shores 
Decimation reservation

Jagged reigns of jaded egos 
Amber suns stretching upon seas of sanctuary

Dance together in slow rhythms

Over waves and seas that crest

THE PUNISHMENT

(On the consequences of biological warfare and experimentation on humans. Disturbing images in verse)


What is the world breathing in?
We are perishing,
Dirty rains are falling,
Poisons and genes,
Rodents and savages,
The tailed and the horned.

These are...

MAngo Mellow Madness

Mango Mellow Madness
Mapping Meandering meaningless memories
of Malice with Mirthful mourning
What messy Magma monstrosities
Best to murder them
Hmphf ( angrily)

Magnifera indica
Slippery, stinging magnificence
My Mellow Mango Madness numbing 
Does excite
Mmmmm ( excited)

A Monotetra

Spirits arise into moonlight,
bats flit in blue twilight,
broomstick riders soar in flight,
upon this night, upon this night.

The tiny goblins, ghosts out there,
collecting candy without care,
hearts of gentility, they bare,
costumes they wear, costumes they wear.

Etheric...

So easily pleased,
All they ask is a little space,
To kick or throw a ball.

When we grant space for liquor stores by the score,
And places to gamble money that should...
