Eldritch Hysterical Annihilation Syndrome

I am lost in unapproachable light—a spectral broth
I am tasting the screaming silence—the archetypal observer
dissects my essence-fossil Passion
a seismic rupture between life/death/rebirth
gnaws at my marrow This dilemma-kudzu
coils tight, constricting tomorrow's breath
Death...

Unable To Breathe I Chokingly Gasp For Air
Far as the (ease)
severely myopic eyes can see,
nothing but polluted atmosphere
where skull and crossbones
memento mori betokens beware,
especially with increasing chronology
mortality becomes crystal clear
existential crisis yours truly didst despair
not so much death itself, but failure
(inadequacy)...

To Good Health
Jack Sprat and wife Mary, lived in a glory of lemony, chiffon days;
Like maroon birds keep on singing, until the sunset, orange phase.
They were comfy and happy, like a picnic in lavish, emerald grass;
And had...

Couplet
1963
I wear a veil of iron mesh,
it sheilds me from sensation,
it's like the one that Jackie wore
after Jack's assassination.
I was just a youngster then,
but, deep inside, I knew,
that with that act of violence
came the end...

I had run out of it i'm out of it

hard skinned pink pill of a pimp

Your Tricks Are Their Treats.
Halloween is coming; there’ll be candy in the rooms
And the witches ride reconnaissance; up there on those brooms.
Underneath the overpass; the trolls plan out attacks;
It’s like fishing in a...

Bloody Shores of Fear and Ice
Bloody shores of fear and ice, seldom seen
To be the stringent strangler borne of leaden blight
The barred bastard, whore of the night
Seen so the lowly leers led to fear the fall of life
Stitch of mind,...

The Jazz Hand Strangler
somewhere along the evolutionary spectrum
some wires were crossed &
when s/he realized their utter disgust for humanity
coupled with an urge for blood & guts
(all the things that whip up a snazzy b-horror film),
alas,
it was too late---

Fishing With Dad
Florida Everglades Wind by Mark Mazzarella
Trolling over the deep backwaters of the Everglades,
turtles snapped and alligators sunned on banks, still as statues.
The lush landscape was quiet except for the occasional
splash of a...

Together Still
Far away from our little village
In the middle of green paddy field
On the small mound the banyan tree was
Beneath calm and sweet shadow of green leaves
On the lap of this old giant tree
You and I...

Punk !
Punk !
Back then we knew what it was
T.V. screens were not our choice
But we sold ourselves
To a fashion
Said it was
Individualism
Just more colourful than the last one
First came the music
And then the love
But Punks were all...

I, Zombie, Part Ix: the Returning
Here I go again
Dancing the Monster’s fancy
Until the curtain
Final curtain call
Chancing all my sanity
Final curtain fall
I went off my meds
Let the Monster out instead
To control my head
Daemon’s back as well
He tells me drinking is swell
As...

Kokoda Gubba Gubba
The New Guinea native fought the Japanese in 1942.
Good on you Fuzzy Wuzzie
Kokoda Gubba Gubba....
In the hills of great Kokoda, on the swamps of Milne bay.
Tramped a weary native strangler whose tribe are gone today.

Some indecent evening you may see a ferret strangler
While he’s baying at the moon
Horse farts seem a little angrier
If they cannot keep in tune
Ponce across the withered lawn
While the first new bindei stings
Bloodshot eyes hung...

An Emerald Pond
Coastline of the peat swamp is obscuring.
In addition, the shadow of a lone angler.
Water lilies turn purple as the sun is setting.
Avoid being stung by sedge and strangler.
I'm up to...

Black Silence
The song of the soul is not jazz
Lowliness crumbles beneath the bruised conscience
Its a new day but the world is still the same
Pajamas can create a riot when they are not washed
Dirt and disorderliness of...

Underway
The future never comes
The past is never done
The junction is where webs are spun
Then duly sewed undone
The frequency, where the free can see
Doesn't arise from your eyes
Nor vibrates down the road
Or learned in code
Or...

Under the Diving Board
„hurry up! bring the holy water
or I’ll scratch myself out of existence“
sincerely
your gentle strangler...
...that’s the end of this ecstatic story
about the seasick captain
about the Laplace’s demon
caught in a bigot whirlpool
THE END in black capital letters

Morning Gone Wrong
Comfort, some say, a cup of joe,
Coming to breakfast still yawning
Mornings’ pleasures the day dawning.
A restful sleep, ready to go,
Planning my work, include some play,
Eager to face another day.
I find my car covered with snow,

The Frog Strangler
(Idiom for a torrential rain)
Miracle Man
5/2/2022
With little variant, rain came straight down,
winds whisper was so faint it couldn’t be heard.
Bar ditches, now so full of water a frog could drown,
but by this...

Rest In Pieces
They once met upon a poetry site,
shared romantic words by computer light.
His poems of rose pedals and floating doves,
her verses of broken hearts and jilted love.
Those touching comments soon lit a fire,
innocent flirting now burning...

Padre
I'm holding in my anger
Knowing I'd die to be the strangler
Of his sour-little coward-brittle throat
I'm just mad not literal
But when your dad's a criminal
There's a minimal amount of father hope
It doesn't bother me...
