catatonic shock

catatonic overgrowth crept back in ~ the prince seen her hirsute chin

She knows that catatonic chunks of his heart

Unable to move
In a catatonic state
Thanks only to your touch
I’m freezing with anticipation
Hoping to never move again...

Catatonic kittens
All squirelly in mind
Run like the chipmunk
And stumble like a pup
Brose through my musings
A bird on my mind...

A tiny pin prick
    fingertip screams in protest
type and cross match

catatonic pleading to unknown heavens
   bleeding out
rivulets stain post-pristine drains

invisible death unknown
    undetermined
despite one unsolicited pint....

old train whistling like an asthmatic
coal fire and soot, thoughts
deranged loosely connec-
ted salad of words
withdrawal at the last instant
birth of a celestial monster
bizarre postures purpose-
less agitations catatonic
excitements, waxy flex-
ible stupour...

Sudden eclipses blare 
Thoughtlessness…thrombosis… 

The only room opens and snakes drip
From broken windows as leaves hiss
Ghosts try to form bodies…turning…

Into the silent agony of madness shuffling
Into the wordless expression of immensity
Into the vivid darkness of coma black…...

the catatonic whore takes flight.
landing on mystery's delight 

dawning a necklaces of death
the same finger takes her breath

still a child with a capacity to give
a futile flight of light to live

an awakening with death and fate
the decision to stay made to late

what's the matter he was dead anyways...

Thrown asunder in bewilderment 
       I list like a ship in a catatonic sea
                   inert in a perplexed state of confusion 
             thoughts drift in and out, going nowhere 
     unable to move forwards or backwards 
I flounder helplessly in uncharted waters.

This poison I've ingested, manipulates my veins;
It captivates my once sound mind, with the sickness that remains.
Bittersweet, I crave to taste, what is now my new demise;
Manic now, I lose myself, in sick pleasures I despise.
Catatonic fantasies, are a technicolor blur;
Whizzing past me in a daze, cold alone and with no cure....

C r a z y  Cate just had a
   C-section. Crabby, she
      couldn’t control her moods.
         Catatonic one night, 
            careless me stole her cloaks!
               Can’t I be cutely flawed?
                  Couch became my man cave.

A ghost truth 
levels down,
the traffic. You enter
into catatonic stage.

Rage and anguish
will ask,
for the price of blood
flown down the river.

Listening
with the eyes. Leaffall,
luteus, music of descent
on grass.

A dust storm 
settles on sill. I will 
look through the window, at
a setting sun, unadored.

Got caught...hoodwinked
only a moment,don't blink
cesspool...full of fools
disregarding golden rule
playing games are the lame
crying shame...pointing blame
poison tipped are the spears
tongues sharp gouging ears

Catatonic catastrophe
blinded minds now hard too see
being led further along
away,away...from our heart of heart song........

Unrelenting 
Unrepenting
Disingenuous incensing
Broken promise
Faulty premise
Drunk with grandiose suggesting

All chaotic 
Schizophrenic
Catatonic
Photogenic
Served with Pennyroyal tea
Pinched with acid hydrochloric

I'm the grain of salt that's taken
as my core is always shaken
I refuse to see I'm free
when my gifts return forsaken...

Embalming the Conscience

Embalming the conscience,
of a world catatonic with apathy.

Apathy worn on sleeves,
with shimmering cuff-links of brazen indifference.

Shopping, mall-hopping, acquiring.
Squinting at designer tags.

Ah! But the party never ends,
as we giggle and flirt and drink and screw.

While corpses burn,
nailed to the cross.

And while the others scavenge,
for scraps in the dirt....

Three nights in a row, exhausted, no sleep
Catatonic state, inner demons shall creep

Dose (Was I asleep?) jerk violently awake
Heavy pressure on chest, the weight of heartbreak

Arms spread; you were nailed to the living room wall
Struck dumb; I could not heed your faint, pleading c...

I produce old silk flags to undulate the mist-
I”m just another Torturated Body from the East
I take the Medicine and try to resist
among Big Mammals, fighting with a spoon
I put one foot on the Moon for a catatonic walk
and the other foot on the street
to sustain the back
under a yellow skirt
wearing an orange shoe
that gives a great stability
by throwing out sweet glue.

Without her love
I am
supine and catatonic
resting energy

E=mc2
squared

Mantra of melanin
black and white
we blend together

The consequence
of making love
is Olympism

Proverbial softness
sensibility and discernment
our internal systems burn
when I kiss her dark skin

Force of body
strength of reason
together we balance

When we unite
we are
perpetual
a complete
human being

an erotic
explosion of light......

N umbed and obnubilated are the five senses
O btused by the feelings that haunt in the nights
S uffering unnecessarily as a tormented soul 
T aking away the happiness of the torned heart
A bdicating as a king that lost his kingdom
L iving in a catatonic state, hidden as a coccon
G etting a shock that awakens the dormant
I nspiring to live with a new conscience
A llowing the flow of life to pass through...

I drip this passion O' mine,
Into the depth of the cup you hold nearest to you.
And the bull inside makes my flesh swell,
Not catatonic,
Just in suspension,
And always in suspicion.
Part of my ill-borne mind creates an image of reluctance,
And I give it to you,
As a gift.
Not much further now and I'll be completely aware,
Aware of the notions you so cleverly curtained around my head,
So I see no evil....

Since birth,
 my body has been
 a battlefield,
 mined by firecrackers
 of unequal feelings...
 I treat my wounds,
 since time immemorial...
I live in a state of war,
Permanently...
I survive because I only live as
Inwardly carry my life  as I live,
even within this chaos,
 external world...
    Against This catatonic dystonia,
 heals and relieves me, poetry...
 Poetry gives me refuge
 and this peace...!...

Adios, Roseanne



Roseanne's racist tweet caused big trouble

So she voiced remorse on the double

     The Trump-loving comic

     Appeared catatonic

Her hit show was tossed to the rubble



In secret she now keeps opinions

But where are Roseanne and her minions?

     Darlene, Dan and Jackie

     Each unemployed lackey

While Rosie's still worth eighty millions

from afar, leaves like uncounted catatonic fires  
huddled close
pinned to the chill air

a pointillist’s love affair with a hundred shades of red

the ground is a fresh wound, edgeless 

a breeze worries the boughs 
stokes the hanging flames into quivering  
crimsons 
scarlets 
vermilions 
renegade ambers

a slow burn resumes

accompanied by a susurrus of sighs 
a dirge for a season

and the summer sky, now turned slate,
is cremated...
