Times Gal

Times Gal
Give it back she demanded
He took the small barrel
Off the table of her 22 pistol
Saturday Night Killer being cleaned
Or it wouldn't fire as dirty
This gal was bad ass
All the effing way
She cut the metal tips
Off the 9mm slugs
Making them dum dum bullets
Took your face off
A mess like a 22 slug
Tho laughed at lethal
Like the small gal
He put the barrel back
It was well machined
She smiled and assembled the gun
Time to work later

The Immaculate

We are in glass houses full of our own insanity.
We are built of bricks and blood, 
Bone N soul howling in stone.
We are the strong that out lie the wrong.
They are the one
The coming son 
The spoor of the Immaculate, ejaculate, and bombastic!
We can see each and every particle of the night (fantastic)...
The black element of the cursed universes...
We are the ones that swim in the golden rays
Of the holy son. 
Driven in time…
Around the outer runs.
The pools of Immaculate, Cuming insane.
Of godheads and broke thrones, 
Of immature hours, stars, and moons...
Feeling its power!
We are the glass minds, inner sight,
We build buildings of infinite, 
We need fires that light.
The inner walls of our glasshouse...
We build; Bricks, sticks, and machined things.
The black elements of the cursed universe...
Take flight on dark mineral wings.

A Sick Escape

Awesome elixers 
Nether realm nectors 
Breath stripped bare of body 
A new resembalance to the body before birth
Death before the ever slow machined of decay
manifested in all-that haunts me as i sense it 
burried in black holes in the constant build up
human feces and debri
I am just the leftovers of me 
All i have ever been 
The ruined one 
The ever lost 
An urge to usurp self 
The movements beyond the hidden entrails 
Expose the vast gore that spawns worlds
Made a ghost in every action


Funeral Song

When fancy does he come within one's life,
A candle gently placed goes out so quick.
Of course this is his job, yet one so rife,
And pain he caused to some in just a flick.
A march where veils can barely hide their tears
That rains could not compare their dreary wails;
No song can show the loss that sums all fears,
No hollow branch to hold the noose that fails.
Beneath the branch where he would make his stand,
To rub the names of those who have long passed,
Who paid their debts in kind beneath the land—
To sow it with their flesh whose life have passed:
     The rain is sly to time their deaths in gloom,
     His song's machined—and he will be their groom.

Hell's Prison

Her eye's are prosecuted to 
see, A darkened soul, now 
lingers, into anger and rage, 
against, this machined body, 
that exhausts my mind, with no 
way to return, It's existence, 
has been, captivated and 
buried, deep beneath, The 
floors, of burning tar, I cry 
hopelessly down, A rivered 
waterfall where they seep in A 
black hole wash, knowing that 
her reality, of it all has become 
her reaper, as she SNAPPS, 
back through to the hot seat, 
that roars inside her, The battle 
continues to race, these walls, I 
burn, in determination to 
heavens gate, Ashes-to-
ashes;Dust-to-dust, I'm asking 
my ALMIGHTY'S forgiveness, to 
let me come home, cause 
there's NO ICE-WATER here, at 
HELL'S PRISON, for I am 
thirsty....To love again, as 
GOD'S apostle.......

Poor Sap

A hungry beast edges,
coming for you, sent by a
shining, busy man;
you can do nothing.

The dingy spit spills
from claws that look like 
spinning sawblade dinner plates.
An oven belly smolders so brightly
for your flesh.

Truly, I am sorry...

But your druid spirit will be shredded,
sacrificed to Frankenstein,
and machined nonchalantly.

Come now, there's no fruit in struggling;
their smoking fires are funeral pyres for the
dead 
god
of 
nature

I can see it in your face.

Please, poor sap,
you are trapped.
The sad truth is 
you'll never know 
why fall leaves you.

The Genesis

The multistoried building stands
         desolated in city environs
      with floors still ‘under construction’
  and a heap of grabage fouling within its fence.
The decoration of fragrant garden within
  accentuates kind sight of the passers-by.
Captivated by machined simplicity
	      streamlined with time,
              he stands there perplexed 
	  at the discovery of alloyed divine element
              trying to redefine the domain
	  to reformulate the structured phenomenon.
Assigning adjectives to the noun
   raises deep eddies within
     wading through the velveted admiration.

NO,
‘She’ won’t submit her soiled devotion
       in the circumambience of sensitive rays
           piercing through the pitch-dark clouds.
“I would better set the garbage ablaze”- ‘she’ said.
