But once you find it
And push its buttons

Looming in delusional ennui
Numbed to innate inner sentience
Of bliss outpouring in innocence

Dead Road

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.

body piercings everywhere
today's, girl next door
raises the dead eyebrows of

Dead Is Dead

its no lie if you die
the clover its over
 to be able help other and me

got use your head

Not all abide
Time bide all aside 
Beauty in eyes not lain
But we do sin
A world beyond life
There our soul punish or relief

Everything I do is conscious
Every action I take

I'm not a slave of my instincts.
I choose inhibitions.

The Dead Line

1948 the year a country was raised from the dead
120 an age you'd live to if your not dead 
2068 The dead line for what is said

Dead Ringer of a Folk Singer, Humdinger of a Gunslinger

Fairly
Squarely
Rarely
Barely
Shot from the hip fairly, squarely true
Loaded clip but, rarely, barely drew
