Skulls and Thorns

Skulls And Thorns
The darkness is cold.
Hold your hand and be bold.
Take me with you.
Sense of touch wherever you go.
From the grave to the sky.
Together, I feel alive.
You are beyond elegant.
Stand with you in darkness.
Watch the candle lights dance.
You are my match.
Light the sky on fire.
You're the one I desire.
You are mesmerizing.
Fly past the horizon.

Skulls

Skulls and roses, skulls and crossbones, most of people who died alone. 

Skulls in corpses, skulls in the living, ‘til they decompose, protection is what they’re giving. 

Protect the mind, that tissue so soft, but easily shaken, easily sent aloft.  

 

Protecting a soul, so sweet and tender, but nothing, not even nature, can

Hourglass of Primal Wolf Skulls

Why does he provoke me to anger?

He stalks among us -  with his song -
a wolf's grin

His inimicality beckons 
like a hawk's talons,
luring prey to certain death

Yet he imparts wisdom 
to those who bleed

Beware!

his insights twist 
like a pit of pepper x vipers;
devouring souls He spins tales of survival
and primal instinct
Beneath the façade
lies decay
concealing

Day of the Skulls

Las Pas Bolivia
November 8th
Day of the Skulls
A bit different than Mexico’s Day of the Dead

Prehispanic belief says people have seven souls
One of them is located in the skull
If they do not have an ancestral skull they will dig one up
They are respectful and decorate the skull with reverence

Their skulls are treated with awe
taken to cemetery

Drummer Calls Out the Skulls

He is a professional, let him call out the skulls.
I wondered what this meant, but I trusted the gulls.
The drummer began, and the skulls came out of their hiding.
I was shocked at first, but soon recognized his abiding.

They love him, I said. They still have emotion.
The came from the meadows, the woods and the ocean.
These

Can You Conjure Fire Skulls

My great aunt could conjure fire skulls the child reported.
Can you do that? Can you do that?
The visiting neighbor did not know.
She had never tried it and did not know what a fire skull was.
I doubt it, she replied.
Knowing it is difficult to visualize something
when you do not know what it is.

Skulls

Skulls
                   cracked, hollowed 
       showing, decomposing, wounding
  Remains, Graves, Cemeteries, Mausoleums
      cushioning preserving, defending 
          

Silent Skulls

its common but unnatural
to never have moments of 
complete silence
where the entire world is turned off
maybe that's what heaven's all about
an eternal silence filled with soul bubbles
intermingling-exchanging silent pleasantries
no motors or screaming neighbors
or childhood screeches
thin walled moans
or deathbed groans
just birdsong mist
drifting through the silent heart
of heaven

Skulls

You and your bones,
your skin,
the unkindness of your eyes...
keeps me awake at night,
for hours, hours, and sunrises.
You and the eco of your absence
the memory of us
already forgotten,
buried in the graveyard.
The only remains of what once was our hearts.

Pro Patria Mori

Pro Patria Mori

Missouri volunteers bit bullets, watched
as Santa Ana's baggage washed
their brazen hair, hip deep
in the Rio Grande.
The ancient river moved across the land
Like slow drool down a leather cheek.

Bang! Paul Bunyan's balls
rolled down the Great Divide, rattled
across the porcelain sea.
Oh, the girls!
Hair hot and black, Whoopee!
Their tongues as pink as baby fat.

Now tongs drop

Table of Skulls

Lion sits at his table with appetite
to enjoy fruits of his  daily labor
Those with him during every feast
are invisible skulls of past meals

Friends and foes sing and dance
jumping all over the table at meal
lion harshly bickers, denies  rights
some he praises and honors bitterly

Bed time lion scatters his eyes all over
traumatized by vision of

Swords Through Skulls

In the fields,
On the dry cold land,
There are monsters.
Torn up skeletons,
Lying on the ground.
One by one.
Swords inside the skulls,
Slicing through brains in half,
Blood trickling down their heads.
The demon within,
Daemons of Hell.
All dead...
Dusty bones,
Bloody puddles,
Lie by my feet.
Nothing but bloods and guts.
What a horrific battle.
The skeletons are destroyed.
This is the battle,
Of the dead...

Skulls and Bones

Hold in abeyance
A sub rosa confession
A mystery concealed by science
“Veiled in allegory”
Impossible evidence and concrete lessons
“A Peculiar system of morality”
“illustrated with symbols”
Quoted definition
Of Freemasonry
Complex bureaucracy 
A tyrannical 
Secret society.

The Sugar Skulls

Life begins, with morning dew

Beneath the earth a small pod waits

Till the eyes of winter steals

A glimpse of spring, then knows its fate

Among remains of those gone past

There is hope left on their face

To most, it's viewed as death

But life still leaves its trace

And when the sad tail ends

Those that passed, will lie there rotten
