In Time

What if we make it in time 

Took my eldest brother of heart
I was age eight
Routing me through different foster homes
I could turn to nothing other than art
Script my life to a page, my newly designed faceplate
Registered me in school with hillbillies
Rednecks lurking behind oak trees 
plotting to noose and conceal me
Troubles away from home
It’s all my fault, I’ll withstand the punishment
Take a recess, filter out the problems
Let you know how much fun it’s been
Street thugs want to beat; I’m no ones fool to beat 
Pressure me and in my possession I acquire the tools to beef
As Lustful individuals we relaxed in our own deceit 
Situations come to a stand still 
I take shelter beneath the neighboring bridge 
I’m grown and on my feet 
Who could criticize my passion for success?
Here lately it’s become a fashion to stress  
In these heated hours of liaison with we nest

I believe in me, myself, and nothing else 

I’m out late in the night
I’ve got to get the rent 
Trying to lead of life toward luxury
Another flaw in torment I resent 
Plus I got issues with the police 
The mayor and the presiding judges
So many scoundrels to enlighten my grudge 
No one to stand beside this perched individual
Therefore I believe me, only myself
Wishing hard times upon me
Brush them off, time to study for my clinicals
The dirt shoveled, equals the nonsense I’ve been dealt
Put an out cast to ease 
A touch somewhat seldom felt
Trailing my steps, 
As I expire, you may have what’s left  

And who knows, we might actually make in time

Peering through my blackened mirror in scenes
I witness the incessant struggles of individuals in spleen 
Mortar over my nemesis as seen 
The tower I build in an effortless climb 
A have-not in time, this leprosy of mine 
But you and I we have history in reply 
Rest your thoughts next to this Charismatic character
On whom else could you simply rely? 
The love letters I receive in kind
My colleague wants to know dearly 
If you have a friend in mind  
Paper makes misery worth living
Mother says her rapper insist I owe in him thanks in given
The humor in my latest statement
“By my ambitions only I’m driven”

I believe in me, myself and nothing else
But who knows, we might actually make it in time

Sol Invictus

Hollow odes lament where waves crash depthless

Oh! How ocean lacking light spills woe so!

Lackluster grays wail unkempt longingness

Lone stander bleeds the dreams of times ago

  

 O'er the screaming wind, a seagull's bleak cries

weeps of cloudiness usurping the day

Heaven's warmth obscured, and now coldness vies, 

overwhelming where vast emptiness slays

  

Left purposeless, wavering dark takes hold

looping tight a lynch-like corrosive noose

Otiose life sucks vim where sharks enfold,

wrecked in sunless abyss of night let loose

  

But Sol, unconquerable, beams once more

and the lighthouse sings, full of birds from shore!

Premium Member Hindu Voodoo - With Apologies To Dylan Thomas

Tell me, my friend, when can I send 
My spirit gently into that good night? 
How many times do I have to die 
Before I get it right? 
Every car crash, train wreck, 
Overdose, misstep, 
Splintered bone, rug burn, 
Danger zone, poisoned cup, 
Open sore, bitter root, 
Slammed door, rotten fruit, 
Tool shed, chicken shack, 
Demon seed, heart attack, 
Foul deed, flash flood, 
Drowning pool, splattered mud, 
Ridicule, taut noose, 
Hanging tree, hot seat, 
Safety latch, knotted sheet, 
Lover’s leap, cruel twist, 
Sudden shift, slashed wrist, 
Whiskey breath, itchy wool, 
Charges due, paid in full, 
Circus freak, Judas kiss, 
Hide and seek, losing streak, 
Broken tooth, swollen lip, 
Busted jaw, sinking ship, 
Hard luck, hockey puck, 
Sucker punch, mother f*ck, 
Hot iron, nasty cold, 
Phantom limb, flat spin, 
Steel glove, rusty nail, 
Faded love, hammer claw, 
Twenty gauge, monkey paw, 
Tombstone, gaping maw, 
Friendly fire, lost and found, 
Piano wire, last rites, 
Foul deed, prairie dust, 
Jimson weed, stock tip, 
Bad trip, razor blade, 
Muscle rip, chain saw, 
Pole axe, pin prick, 
Candle wax, crack pipe, 
Dope ball, monster high, 
Bad call, de-tox, 
Padlocks, sweat box, 
Ticking clocks, hair lip, 
Pratfall, bull whip, 
Brass balls, matching set, 
Sacred cow, tangled net, 
Marriage vow, and every other 
Barren point of blackness 
That litters the 
Eternal Book of Life 
Are only punctuations 
In its bloody text, 
While waiting, 
Waiting, 
Waiting 
For the death 
That’s written next.

We Are Not Angels Who Weave the History of the Wounds of the Earth's Body

While releasing the twilight to his bed
from a silent mountain
the leaves of the big trees are falling
the birds wander aimlessly
embrace the clouds as home
floating without wings.

The rain fell weeping on the steadfast corals
watched a stallion busy training
with a swirl of power in his eyes
like tendrils spreading the colors of rain
on his back which was soaked and flowing profusely
without anyone knowing
mama's tears drowned with the rain debris
weaving the history of the wounds of the earth's body
because there is no better season to love him.

When the body is burned by every word that hurts
with hot breath meeting eyes
the source of life opens its lips and flows
all the strands that are shattered
at every moment that greets and spins your shadow
on the circle of the breath of love itself.

With every downpour that cuts off your head and throws it to the ground, as a sign that the eye of life is shrinking back to a small garden—its origin.

To the grove that calls me to understand that every solitude i have ever known is a silence spewed by birds and trimmed lamp wicks—casting shadows on the bare walls and telling stories flavored with the milk of my ancestors, but like an unblown bud that will never hear or know such stories.

Each seed—centuries ago—was a living heart that grew in the black soil of her body and was forgotten among the tense bodies.

As the sun set, they rumbled like snails opening their mouths and spoke of her body's suffering, neighing with their endless pain.

And together we sipped palm wine from different coconut shells, savoring each separate memory, with the ash falling from the sky, entangling her body with roots that gripped the soil tightly.

On this land—I will step again toward rebirth, with the prophecies of the gods touching every probing finger and walking the same path, with my body lying on the grassy shoulder like a broken noose.

Oh; The flowers of the night awake
like eyes without lids
a child's laughter stutters weakly
under the whip of the rainy season
the fire of the eyes dims and goes out
and under the sun that every day
bathes in blood and rises in an empty house
is a sign that—we are not angels.

Premium Member Psalm: Spring of Paradise

With the eyes of an eagle, men and women are in your sight.
With your eyes oh Lord, you see all who dwell on the earth.

You saw me as wine flooded my tongue,
the bottle emptied of all its sorrows.

For I was weak, a wretched soul at the end of the gallows.
The hangman’s noose tight about my scrawny neck.

You were there, with tears and a smile.
You saw the end from the beginning,
       You — the Alpha and Omega.

You sacrificed the strong drink, replacing it with water —
water cool and crisp from the spring of paradise.

The petty officer with his serpentine tattoo
tried to swallow me whole. The stormy seas

suddenly calmed by the warmth of your words
as you spoke through wise lips your truth.

Oh Lord of men and seas, cleanse me with your brine.
See your servant who prays with humble lips, on her knees.

Lift our feet above shallow shores to the heights of tomorrow,
where no suffering will defeat us, only sparkle our uniforms.

Speaking Your Mind

Where went the time
Where we could speak our minds
And not be afraid
We'd be threatened for our lives

What's good for the goose 
Is not the gander the same
How tight or loose is the noose
On which they have us hang

When you say what you want
When you speak your mind
They tell you what to do so you don't
Step out of the line

As long as your point's the same
As their point of view
You're allowed to do and say
What they want you to

Can't have you out on your own 
Giving others rays of hope
When they've kept them in the dark this long
On the things that they should know

When you go completely rouge
You'll find they do not like
While trying to tarnish your halo
When speaking your own mind

Premium Member Purim Theorem!

Purim Theorem!

Rambam holds Hashem is math,
Hashem does not take a path,
Like “Squaring the Circle”,
Such is illogical,
Yet the Zohar differs on Hashem’s craft!

Witness the Aron anomaly,
Giving rise to a homily,
Finite length & width yet zero volume,
Boggling the mind, yielding it solemn,
Evoking Emunah more than normally!

Size yet no volume?
Anomaly! as in Shalom,
Moshe saw that the “Burning Bush”,
Was unconsumed, he didn’t silence: Hush!,
Risking ridicule, courage to be alone!

Moshe saw water & fire combine,
Hashem’s Shalom nonintuitively align,
Illogic surprise from mire,
Despair be gone!  Lost? A Divine sign!

Purim, 339 Before Common Era,
Hashem again was a true “Chevra”,
Upending Haman’s goose,
In a long necked noose,
Saving the Yidden from an evil schema!

Arrogance vanquished,
Anomaly? Yes by logic languished,
Expect the unsuspected,
Human reason dissected,
Headstand of man anguished!

“Shemayim’s” Burning Bush is a hymn,
Let the “Olam” Hear Him,
Again no novelty,
“Chiddush” renewal, an end to “Evilty!”
All Adds Up to Purim Theorem!

Ruing the Emotionally Prosperous Papa Razz Zee Life I Did Not Live

Arduous agonizing affliction
doth unrelentingly assail...
aghast to exhale lest...lose
desperate clinging clutch
held by bloodied cracked fingernail
phantasmagoric tendrils constrict

stoppering me to whisper or wail
yawning abyss menacingly beseeches
hmm...release could immediately curtail
cumulative (lifetime's worth) travail
freefalling, pirouetting unnervingly,
unstoppably, unwaveringly... zipping

into infinite black hell hole ail
mince vanish as doth guilt - a hail
storm peppering psyche... jail
time for eternity excluded option
asper garden variety baby boomer male,
albeit the father of deux darling daughters,

the eldest (broke vow of silent communication),
she reached out after months long hiatus telltale
indications to accept genuine apology
her papa (me) rages against hurtfulness, he
affixed indelible psychological scars each travail
boomeranged backed to yours truly duress

during her impressionable years, she did rail
and rant previous conversation, the scale
innocent intelligent progeny, we begat
(myself and misses) financially ill prepared
to provide respectable accommodations

"dirt poor" status detrimental
with affluent MainLine
incomes luxe Lower Merion
living costs fateful design
neighbors cursed, ostracized, vilified...
unsightly unkempt property (i.e. unmanicured)

intolerant snobs didst malign
child welfare services called NOT to dine
but emphatic for papa and mama to align
dwelling safe and secure for minors
yes, I attest despicable living conditions
crowded house with Zison heirlooms

owners - malignant hoarders did confine
considerably reducing cubic feet,
they relations of spouse evicted us
ready to point carbine
at temple...quicker than noose
dead of winter 2010 near homelessness

relocated within "roach motel" decline
among our dynamics with offspring
livid with rage, asper an inferno no divine
comedy compounded by lascivious
behaviour - mine to hasten dateline
enduring helplessness, hardship

being alive plus brandishing knife
against self witnessed...I assign
poor marks as paternal parent,
who bemoans loathsome
impact...this papa gropes toward hotline!

purgative, harmonic tête-à-tête

Broken society

Broken Society 

I identify as a spiritual entity an unknown identity blending into the background of a backwards society. 

I am a universal being lurking in the shadows I am often heard yet never seen. 

You will never see inside of me 

The noose is tightening around my neck I am struggling to breathe. 

When was this world taken over by a bunch of 

corrupt, cowards, criminals, traitors, liars and thieves

We all live inside a fabricated existence weaved  inside a web full of lies 

How can 1 truely live. 

If 1 believes he can never die 

The stars across my sky’s have being  etched into my eyes 


I have lived 1000 lives 

I have died 1000 times. 

 I am a universal soldier 

I am the enforcer. 

Society is nothing more than a heard of sheep being led to slaughter. 

 The monsters of the deep hidden in the depths of the  holly waters.

I have an no tolerance for 

Ignorance, Arrogance negligence, violence or  incompetence. 

Vampires drinking the blood of the innocent  out of the holly grail 

We are a freight about to derail 

We are all products of a system that was built to fail.
