Dream State Yields Deep Sleep PersonificationsDream state yields deep sleep personifications
Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness
despite being...

Upon the chaise in vacant parlour...

A sorrowful tale - tis quite dreary.
Tricks! The superstitious mind doth play.

Boa's Ark - Part 11. MORNING HAS BROKEN
The men, in lines, tramp two by two,
forgetting all the women who
indulged them through a night of tricks
(their lips designed with crimson sticks,
their eyes a wild mascara mix)
and think instead on...

Lucie's Dreaming Part One 'Picturesque Riverside Setting'Coke and weed
Hold nothing on me
She spoke the dream
I chose to believe
We ride behind the unseen
Stride valleys of green
With shadows that sheen
And caveats that sparkle
Even further a field
What may you yield
These layers unpeeled

Tears he heart.
You just need to smile wide,
They'll forget your broken part.
Never remove that mask,
They'll try to tear you to pieces.
For you it would be such an easy task,
To finally get even.

Lost Love Deliria - Part 3 Part 3
9th Delerium: Emptyness
Water wheels in wastelands... turning,
drowning relics in the slum
Rumpled rags of fashioned burlap... burning,
lit by bandits blind and dumb
Pastured prisons, ponies bridled ... yearning,
forest fairies under thumb
Sounds inside of cauldrons coughing......

I do not know?
AddictedI was looking around
Then suddenly
The feelings I once had for you
Were again found
I realized I was standing
On shaky ground
All was spinning
Control was coming unwound
Straining to make a sound
No words would form
Struggling to make sense of...

The One Thing I Will Always Own, But Then I Don'TIt’s confusing
All of the voices in my head
It’s like I don’t know who I am anymore
I’m not me
And I’m defiantly not the people in here
I’ve disappeared
Yet… I haven’t
because every day I look through
someone else’s...

Fragile ContestFragile Steps
Fragile feet broken-in, glass slippers
waltzing through the ballroom.
The sweep of a cerulean gown,
charming, with angel wings.

Broken inside, fatherless, feathers
fall around her - weeping. Bullies - dressed
like sisters, tango around her tresses.
Pulling...teasing, stepmother leading.
Ribbons unwound.

A Night After the Neurosis : a Song For the Mozaic SocietyIt is a quite Sunday morning

We saw drifting continents of love and lust
It was a quite...

Silent City - Part 3Continued from Part 2
Beyond the suburbs, farmers’ fields (where donkeys often brayed)
inhale gray gusts of barren dust where living seed once laid
and in the haze a scarecrow sways, impaled upon a spade.
Green trees gone dark...
