Auguries From Apophenia
NOT incarnated in an unlight inside this Great Hookworm's duotoroidal traumedy-
NOR feverously skeined 'tween the Void's warp-weft over timeleft psukhai shivering-
NIL latency in thoughtfoam friths or thrice-past-madness witnesses to Tantalus' entelechy.
IT wasn't borne on echoes...

Canción del jinete (“Song of the Rider”)
by Federico Garcia Lorca
translation by Michael R. Burch
Cordoba. Distant and lone.
Black pony, big moon,
olives in my saddlebag.
Although my pony knows the way,
I never will reach Cordoba.
High plains,...

When Savages Sang Strongly 2
Destiny demands that we be the debtor
that we sacrafice for the skin of our future,
We left the cradle of the Caucasuses to explore,
to plant the dreams of our Creator,
venturing into the virgin chaos
where the...

The Temptation of St Anthony
I entered the desert,
took a vow not to speak
Lucifer’s here too, hoping
silent men grow weak
My path seemed so straight
but quickly became oblique
I question whether it...

The Demon Hunt
What a pathetic spectacle she makes –
The wordless poet, sunk in her stupor of defeated uninspired misery
She sits alone in the darkness,
Encompassed in her imprisoning spotlight of gloom
Surrounded by a million lights of happy souls
Their...

Marionetta
From the chthonic chasm, I materialize in sarcophagus
Spectral filaments of the netherworld
Spiral in a maelstrom around my silhouette
Osseous structures fracture contort
I ascend from the fecund terra firma
A cadaverous marionette oscillates in a morbid gavotte
Sole rhapsodic...

A colorful song, a sing along, and nature's beauty is the reason."

Loud Mouth
Inspired by Machinehead – Darkness Within (Acoustic version) & members of society who refuse to embrace the kiss of silence…
As great intentions
Wither upon invalidated declarations,
Serenity’s crowd holds teary-eyed candles
Making silent wishes
For the venom to be...

The Farmer and His Corn
The Farmer and his Corn
Snug and warm beneath the earth
The field awaits the coming birth
It holds the richness that they need
Provides the anchor for the seed
The farmer by his hand did sow
Soon he knows his...

In Life
In life they take and take, dignity, peace. In life they trick us into nothing. Lower than soil; deeper than roots; sunk in swamps.
In death we live,
find paths past moon
and stars.
In life they destroy thoughts;...

Days of Sun and Wheat
I do bereavement well, as Death and I are one.
Kin to each and closer still we have both become.
Ner have I traveled far, nor long have I lament,
when Death comes sauntering along and strikes once...

Spring Season
When daffodils brighten my windowsill
And warm Spring rain begins to fill
My outdoor pots and borders wide
My heart cannot help but burst with pride
We have survived Winter's squalls and snow
Spring has arrived for a few weeks...

Kissing Ghost
An abattoir, a hymn of scythes severing flesh, is sung mellifluously by a siren with onyx scales. Bubbles in the twilight abyssal depths, a symphonic orchestra of eels gavotte. Orbs watch at these pressures with...

When the sunshine burns off the morning dew
And the flowers unfold and smile
Then we gnomes will be ready to do what we must do
We'll prepare for the party with style
We'll get out our scythes and...

Bid Thy To Slaughter Child, To Slaughter
In the august acclamations of weaponry

and in prideful boast our livery
of arsenal upon the enemy scorned
From this distant seat shall reap dead carapace
the automata's bullet indulges no refugee
to warrant such requital...

Garden Fence Slam
All of a sudden
It feels somehow ok to say i love you now
Whilst praying for the dying
Hoping death forgives live mistakes and misguided hates
The Rushes blow the breeze
While Pollen makes my eye's water

The Golden Dusty Days
Long gone are the golden
Dusty days!
Where once, like Blazons
On Armorial Shields,
The gathered bronze sheaths
stood -
Cut through at the stalk...
Raised from time honoured
swathes.
Burnished like brushed copper
By high summers slanted rays:
That were sliced so thinly
From...

On the Edge of Forever
Absorbed by happenstance, left flailing in the pouring rain,
As it dripped from the hanging trees,
The branches wept, stripped bare again,
Riddled with winter’s disease.
How scythes cut nerves when I saw no return
When I reached the perimeter...

When the Full Moon Beams
On a night in October when the full moon beams
Marsh noises resonate, all is not what it seems
The wind rustles the reeds with a haunting chilling sound
As the awakening dead arise from their dormant cold...

Anticipating Aquarius

From My Diary: Introspection
This day so historically malevolent
I seemed to have died within my soul
As a pray to the clouds, though they
Are dark and crossing the line of death
I see the passing of my soul unto the
Realms...
