Short Embalming Poems

Red hairs of flame
Phasing in and rising toward the zenith
Embalming the sky....

You expect progress,
and you, 
understanding,
and I just pray,
that I'm never caught planning,
any life... into an early grave.

Let's not decay,
Let's not decay....

Dead white roses fade
embalming to ivory
and delicate lace
These tears fall with thoughts like leaves
How they fill heart’s green grass patch

Summer grasses, soft blown.
As deep therein
Of a sweet embalming
Lie; on sleep's brink.
Its this visual leisure
Now stood up for
Plain's dreamy farness, does more
Such to blur; shrink....

rain swung to the tune of
the western wind embalming
the thirst of the angry earth
quenched releasing opening
the pores, sweat was born
the drumming of the delicate
heart rattled the roof
of the sensitive soul
presenting, tiny bubbles of
blood reverberated

The Secret of the Mortician

Dead, but I got eyes
Prepares my body at the morgue
Opens the chest
Drains the blood from its nudity
Admires my body before it decays

After The process of embalming
His hands run all over
I'm still dead
He's satisfied

The next day 
Writes an outstanding obituary 
I sit on display

NIGHT ARRIVES.

Night arrives at the sunset
Bringing relief to tortured souls
Lost travellers on life’s journey
Tired like wounded feebled folks.

 It sends its physician, the sleep 
To enchant sufferings into a lull
Soothing embalming painful stripes
 There releasing souls into easeful zest.
And then
Beyond cure into some temporary rest...

what do you mean ?
your conduits are blocked
by accumulation greed and
insecurity
what is accumulation ?
accumulation is cluttering
of unwanted thoughts
in the attic of your soul
the desire to possess
to defeat the fear
we are living in a flux
i do not fear to love you
i am ascending in the dark
corridors hidden crevices
of your embalming
love

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....

Bonnie and Clyde prowled the country in a V-8 Ford on a robbing and killing spree!

   They met their doom on a rural road by cops concealed behind rock and tree!

Per Undertaker "Boots" Bailey, the bodies were shot so often by cops lying in wait,

   That the embalming fluid kept leaking from the holes as he tried to stem the spate!

Remotely waters flow
Influentially in glows
Many flavors Kool-Aid
Tangs mixes

Soarid colored intact
Racist people react
Broken leaves on the trees

Embalming feelings what gives
Fashion departures
Dark burst peoples hurt
There's no room for the colors

Placed in a paint can
Mixed in a shaker
Stirred not shaking
As the Omni One


Ends racism

Memories passing me.
Ghosts are haunting me.
Itching for a way out,
Thirsting in her drought.
Sutures with no amends,
Pretend, it's just in my head.

Sweet thoughts, calming.
Her words of velvet, embalming.
Here I am, trying to hate.
Whilst hanging with just a taste,
I'm losing touch with reality,
Losing touch with her,
Losing touch with myself
Trying to hate,
but only adoring.

She still lives in my ever-confused mind....

Allow me to drink your loves elixir
golden sweet promise you deliver
straight to my heart,surges my veins
intoxicating fever burning my brain

Charming my thoughts,all thoughts of you
spelling my vision of all you do
entranced from the sway of perpetual motion
embalming my being with your love lotion

The life of me,in death no fear
immortal are we in loving dear
together we sing in harmony
together we dance synchronicity.......
