Yes—the light indeed could sustain itself in the midst
Of what then was...

In the pitch-black starless and cold empty night sky 
Suckling upon the blood and the very life force of 
Pure innocence, light, and goodness . . . .

You're a waste of a man
The last choice for a sane person
The weirdest weirdo amidst weirdos
You just don't fit in —
Like a pole climbing strap
Trying to be forced into a blue Jeans
What an abuse of...

Up the sky of our newborn town,
Everyone thought it’s a summer’s dawn,

Even when the cloud...

Learn to heed the warning
of queer and ominous tale
the weird of Solomon Crowley 
his madness and long bewail

Once deemed as prominent prince 
sullen noble becomes fallen wanderer
deepest rages drive burning thirst
the burden of daily desire

Lives a bitch then you die 
Eye of the storm watches over my lifestyles fate
In dire straight bathing as...

A Franky and Spud Encounter

The coach, old and rusty, pulled up at the gate 
The horses, portending the schoolchildren’s fate
Franky looked over and thought it was great
While Spud bore a look that said he was...

A tooth for another,an eye for another;
One grave to a grave; blood washes away blood!

O ye heavens
From thy dwelling
of no time 
The reside of the eterne
Where beings of beauty
and the good abode
Look and see
Below where streams
Flow tears 
and seas are crimson 

See our fathers taken 
Where fists are clinched 
with hate,
hearts weeping not
love deceased

a cup of tea, no milk, but sugar plenty.

and Edna’s in the kitchen prowling.
There must be something she can chew,
a bagel or a donut, and...

The table was set for eight, all curtains drawn
Each joint of meat neatly piled up, all as sawn

Upstairs the guests were getting ready to dine
Men in their black tuxedos; looking...

For in you the blossom
Of my heart berths
Dusk, the mirth of my heart
Has cocooned, and in frigid
 Warmth for sunrise it yearns 
For my sunshine to bring.
Sunrise come for my
Sunshine to...

Lookin' to go very far

Cancel the thoughts you were thinking, 
The pressure in this place can crush,
Gravity causes my soul to start sinking.
Red painted hearts with death around the crust.


I will never trust because i am aware,
Cowards can never...

The sun shines in perfect darkness, twirling relentlessly ...

as do a trillion trillion other stars, daubed on the blackest black.
Still, life itself seeds and burgeons in the warmth of its precious light,
its particles, the core...
