leviathan sleeps —
tosses and turns sea cauldron
white foam froths in deep

who dares awaken this beast
whose halitosis breath seethes?

We drink your blood while we laugh at you in your drowning lungs we feast on your skin and flesh. We are hyenas that stand on two feet we serve leviathan melter of those that sleep....

sculptured hobo of the sea
a pirate’s swashbuckling adventure
siren, kraken, leviathan
or some other ocean creature
but now enjoying retirement
as peaceful a garden feature

Griffin soldiers,
On this march,
Bright yellow beak,
Red marble eyes and,
Black feathered wings,
Carry spear and shield
These leviathan hands
Guard this evil empire,
Aboard this ship of Satan...

largely invincible
legendary monster
like dinosaurs extinct?
look at Job 41
lives within the water
lumbering evil beast
leviathan, a whale?

Hunters so wary, 
Rosco and Larry,
Killed them a kitten-like
Wendigo fairy.

Down went Leviathan
Small as a Guppy
Three-headed hellhound
As sweet as a puppy.

Out on safari
Rosco and Larry
Shotgunned each other
Twas narry so merry....

I loved it
in spite of myself
chasing the spirit ghost
across distant horizons
offering as payment
the lost finger of fate
sealing a promise
only a child could make
beginning again
what each ending has taught me
living within the moment’s destruction
—hiding what the leviathan demands

Worms rotate in a peculiar procession
As spring enters - the conquering gladiator.
Saplings play in the breeze.
Dogs smile at the sun while the wind breathes with sighing despondency.
Falling leviathan blossoms float to the ground from reoccurring trees.
Nature holds us all hostage in her warm embrace; green, urgent, and rampant....

A spray that glistened brightly in the sun
alerted us to what lay just below.
So close was he, we thought we’d surely run
headlong, colliding with a forceful blow.
And then, as if to say I’m not yet done,
his tail appeared: a curtain call for show.
We braced, assuming we were impact-bound;
instead, leviathan commenced to sound.

giants through the hour glass

stride leviathan
upon the hissing seeds of mountains
curl toes, summer freed,
about the pillars of the world
whose molten bloom
faded millennia ago
and crumbled down to dust.

upon these ancient shores
ponder as you brush aside
these clinging crumbs of mighty crags
once, a time ago
we were almost dust
and they were giants....

See...
Six thrice...
Mister Faust
Upon your head
All years you exchanged
For currency and wine
Divine you were but you chose
Leviathan to plant a rose...
Divine you were but you chose
For currency and wine
All years you exchanged
Upon your head
Mister Faust
Six thrice...
See...

Faust: (foust)-  a man in legend and literature who sells his soul to the devil for 
knowledge and power....

It's a grand old boat-still quite reliable.
But from the darkness below.
A crimson breasted leviathan is clawing holes.
Deep into its starry soul.
She's quickly listing.
Vermin gnawing away at the sextant.
Panic is hastily jumping ship.
With the NorthStar stuffed in their bindles...

The loyalists are bailing water.
Hope garnished in salt and blistered.
Predators are slowly circling in.
To the sound of a cracked conche....

O monolithic bones - life magnified.
In Millennial mists what gravity defied?
While you who shook the earth  have turned to oil
Somehow we can't forget your great turmoil
And left to probe the mystery in our psyche
Of how and why you disappeared from sight
Can wonder if Earth's forces changed against you
And plunged you to extinction overnight

If memory of our fear would disappear
Leviathan bones proclaim,  once you were here....

"Wet"



Whisper hot your breeze upon my mountains
Ocean deep Hadad cajoles your Leviathan vastness
I lay floating exposed salt moist 
you pound my shallow shores
The Wet Season raptures on a hot curve 
the Monsoon calls

From beyond the vast heights of Helios
The inescapable black leviathan appears;
Crushing existential spheres of consciousness
Juices absorbed by cerebral hemispheres.

Troglodyte souls peer out
From cranial caves and shiver;
Without empirical illumination
Their hearts beat wild and quiver.

Unhinged swinging doors beckon to all
Offering true enlightenment for free.
Heaven or Hell served up cold or hot
Doth compel the blind to see....

O leviathan,
enter the dark cloud of death
defanging fire,
the mountain wants to shiver.

Sand was slipping from my fists.
I cannot hold the time;
wet eyes
will find another moon.

The milk had dried up in body.
A heart burns like bonfire,
for a heretic. A lone stranger
in a city of wolves.

A bareback beauty sits on the rock
waits for the sea
to bring her the poison. An Aphrodite
will never call for nothing.

Insidious pharaohs reigning death abound the kingdom, a sinister smile resonates 
of bloodlust. Commanding voraciously the tyrants consume human life, an endless 
cycle of severed souls. Utopian preaching of a destined era stagnates over this 
desolate desert. Blood Rivers converge with the Nile, an inceptual validity embraced 
in flesh. Severed limbs suspended from within the leviathan necropolis exude blood; 
such is the decor of the pharaoh...
