This inquisitions exorcist fights on the altar of justice
And faith, a white knight of the elliptical moon, defending
The mortal souls of humanity, on this thin...

Born within the realm of hell's fire, spawned in the ashen dawning,
Between brimstone's sacred flame, and sulfur's earthen cauldrons,
Given the spark of life by the elemental goddess, nature herself.
The she-devil sleeps, in her Multan rock...

Deep Space Christmas

God is busy this time of year attending to the billions
People’s needs, guiding reindeer, assisting Santa, counting souls
Helping with the naughty/nice boys and girls 
Even Craigslist needs some tweaking here and there
And other...

Christmas roses are red, and violets are so very blue…
Dear Santa. We love our dear Dragon and hope you do, too.
Nightly, visions of colors dance round and round his big bed. 
As delusions of grandeur…...

The cup tip-peth over and the wells run dry 
No more tears in these weary eyes 
I’ve soul searched and reached as far down as I could 
Finding absolutely nothing good 
The bowls of the...

drink your 5 year old milk,
boy!  I know where you live, stop painting your nails

Blue Iris, 
Grimoire gondolas steal unbound human yawns,
Each Charon poised with sallow spear along the River:
Austere laughter of headless boughs 
sipping grave-scented spiritual kisses.

Gruel to Drinking Fear you do coerce,
Till evil flees the dawn within...

The cob webbed city sticks to my dirty skin,
as I pass through its predator strings.
On the corners are hustlers, men with wigs and worn heels,
selling their wares, fighting with women,
over property rights.

Traffic moves slow, crawling...

Be a blessing to everyone
Inflict neither malice nor poisoned chalice on anyone
If you can heal and feel positive for someone 

If you should quit the kingdom of wretchedness
Departing from the abode of wickedness
And abandon cordons...

Tempting Love
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Hand in hand, we walked beside the winding trail.
We laughed and loved along this path by and by. 
And felt extraordinary; two hearts entwined.
The faintest scent of...

Writing this in hopes that I might fashion a connection
A connection with my dreams 
And through my dreams, a recollection
Of the beauty of specific moments
That have become part of my DNA yet
Are as far removed...

Pretending can be a bold form of experimentation
and inventiveness. In pretending joy or happiness,
we may discover or enhance our capacity for it.

Remember our first kiss
Innocent curiosity fueled its passionate nature
Instinctive vibes of infatuation enslaved us
Instantly connecting us with that kiss, I’ll forever savor

Relentless hunger for another kiss of its capacity
Ignited utopian flames of forbidden desires
Singes from...

Blossom in full bloom in your garden
Sworn your seasons and reasons for bliss to finish
Your favourite abode and space in the garden of Eden

Walk the wooden deck 
of the boat I was tied and shackled to.
Feel the sun as it reaches down to

A birthday wish whispered –
If this world weighs too heavy
on that which remains, leave.
Promise, it will be fine. 

Your blind eyes see through my
comfortable sweater,
the fuzzy one worn down 
to remember warmth. 

Furious, I could...

Jack O' Lantern jeers through 
molten screen
With fiery eyes and a fifth sense 
so keen
Masked goblins saunter in shadows 
unseen
Wily Jack swills jade folds with 
florescent stream
Billowing ghosts in phosphorescent, 
satin mantles teem
Stolid Jack bathes...

He lurks and prowls
 Around every corner waiting,
I am an addict, an easy target,
 So he waits salivating.
The demon tempts me
 Everyday with persuasions
I’ve let the demon in with
 My self inflicted lacerations.
Like a stray...

No No No it says
a little momento of a soul
with which I imagine I identify

crouched in the stall
armed with her key
scratching deep without restraint
blowing away the cloud
of the chalky wall
