I Am Frankenstein

I am the frightened toddler running from the demons
     that I made up in my head.
I am the dark shadow of a missing character
     that is tricking the deathbed. 
I turn the corner of poverty into emptiness 
     that a step-child feels with dread.

I am the window of a mind lost in seeking
     for the answer to mankind.
I am the visions of future social missions
     for the chronically disinclined.
I am the memory of passing dire ships
     for cargos that malign.

I am the birth of a day without sun
     and a mother’s voice of guns.
I am the tainted trunk of a winter’s tree  
     that the midnight shuns.
I am Frankenstein with scissors of emotions 
     until I love someone. 

Thanks for feedback.

Weathered Faces

WEATHERED FACES    

Stone face tower
Scarred mapped neck
Mammoth shoulders of steel  
Orange jumpsuit in check 

Weathered face of storms
Leather brows define
Burning eyes intently staring
Pupils gorging mine
 
Distrustfully melts himself
Onto a metal chair
Iron door crashing closed
Vibrates my bones to beware

Now its just the tower and I
Boxed in a windowless cell
Married for an hour
As I try to soothe his hell

Knowing that he’s murdered
Many different times
Sends the hair on my neck
 I fly with verbal chimes

No excuses he proclaims
I've done all they say
Puffing his chest out
 I can't forget whom I turned grey

Congratulations I do say
You're doing insightfully well
You've integrated your behavior
And aligned it right with hell

Purple Unravels

If you sculpt beyond the self
Terse transitions, ample ambitions

If you think outside the box
Daring dreams, exciting extremes

If you’re aware of all dimensions
Timeless travel, purple unravels

Homeless Hearts

Hearts of homeless shadows abound
Dreaming in doorways without a sound

Forever teasing through tainted trash            
Panhandle for bleeding hearts clash  

I willfully ignored them all the time
I now examine their faces’ every line

And delve deeply into their ebony eyes
Curious why wonder wouldn’t rise

If hate or hostility is not their host
If embarrassed enough to act a ghost

I ask if I can make their day
With funds that fancy to startled bouquet

I grew up dissecting city dwellers 
My latent luster may stage to stellar

A smile, a thanks, or maybe a caress
For my homeless heart to coalesce

Personality Particles

PERSONALITY PARTICLES  

Self defined by confusion and chaos  
So creativity can compass my way
I induce my world to shrink so small
So imagination can swell the day

I ponder and angle my perception
Like a hawk on a slippery wire
I crawl inside my acute attitudes  
For saucy seams of dusty desire      

I scour my domain for nomad notions 
And for heartless people of appeal
I undress their insecurity of being 
While rendering their lives surreal

I particle their personalities
And undermine each idle insight
I dissect their screaming demons
To thrill my reader’s delight

Shapeless Time

SHAPELESS TIME

Segments of evolving reality
Aging has altered my time
Savor shapeless pieces
Squander nothing behind

History of expiring world
Shock waves rattle your spine
Future of temporal uncertainty
Cyclone sweeping your mind

Distractions rob the senses
Electronics hasten the pace 
Capture timeless memories
Prisoners of embrace

Rights of passage of eras
Sand slipping through rhymes 
Flow of waning motion
Winter of shapeless times

Our Eternal Soul

Our Eternal Soul

Who knows of your eternal soul
Few left behind
With only brevity of time

Soul of life and meaning
Existing collection of our being
Voyage of forever seeking

Fugitive to place or time
Soul wanders endlessly
Vines inept to climb

Shapeless entity form
I am the soul of this soul
Origin of mental storms

O dear soul, you enrage and offend
Pretense of  immortality
Wrestling your chaotic wend

O precious soul without vision
Poverty of purpose and wisdom
Eulogy your final collision

New World Order

Wake up call dynamo
Aliens inside earth
For longer than we know
Inhabiting to rebirth 

Dentures of denial
Dark government's way
Live evidence is viral
Reptilians and little grays

Transport is magnetic
Exceeding speeds of light
Travel through dimensions 
Aging is hindsight

Visitors of many species
Rushing to drink the earth
We are discovered news
Of the universe

In exchange for technology
We granted them free reign  
Merging agenda revealed 
Dancing with butane

Misjudged their intentions
Breeding a hybrid race
Control for the planet
Humanity loosing its place

They seek another abode
A new world order
A threat to decode
To freedom’s divine borders

Sound of Money

The investment industry, gambling in a scuba suit 
Interest rate risk, like blowing through a paper flute

Affairs of accounts, replacements for a lonely heart  
Billionaire bankers, glean you as financial art 

Subordinated debt, you’re an asset that can bond 
Dow Jones Average, you’re a mean of illusions spawned

Vested venture risk, your dead poet’s society 
Commercial competition, source of your anxiety

Free market futures, to soften your resistance
Reinvested capital gains, to edit your existence

Economic recession, when money goes on a diet
Capital gains taxes, when robbery is the riot

Asset allocation, a future of cherry picking 
Bear market declines, the sound of money ticking

Curve of Heaven

Solo flight of being
                                        Thoughtless future dreaming
                                   Youthful selfish leanings

                              Naked upon life's rock
                         Acute awareness of nothingness 
                    Reacting to emotive aftershocks 

               Instinct's organic aspiration
          Epiphany of pedigree  
     Exalt the next generation

Miraculous child unfolds
Gifting precocious flair
Majestic miracle you mould

     Fringes of soul are reached
          Contour of love explodes
               To adore and heal and teach

                    Keener morph of meaning
                         Hallmark hearts of harmony
                              Fused together, dance forever 

                                   Father esteemed identity
                                       Curve of earthly heaven
                                            Defining dauntless destiny
