Krimson Lachryma


Disintegrate

Into the Apocalypse

Faithfully falling

To prayers upon their lips


Face the greed

And tread lightly


Broken steed

ever weaker nightly


Devoured hooves

Bled by wolves


Bile and guts

Spilling - out of stars

Spilling - out of stars

The Beginning Part I


A beautiful sequence of nightmares one after the other


A creature of the night is here to drive in his claws  

And drag you under

Beneath his cloak of silent death

You will fall to a suffering slumber.


The way he knows to hell

Rigel

There is a star a phoenix of the skies. A warrior’s light and raven’s tail Rigel. How sharp your eye and arrow? How strong your voice and bow? Rigel the storm of falling stars as eternal as you shall never be. Or as infinite in their celestial

You mix it up

with orange

with apple

with ice

You add the molotov for spice

Splash some green for Neda

And don't forgot the gasoline

You mix it up

with cherry

with lemon

with rum

You add Gahdafi just for fun.

Post it all on Facebook

Make money off liberation's dream.

I stand there silent

As his words come towards me

I don't even raise my arms up

No defensive wounds

Rather each sentence

Brings forth the little jewels of red 

He smiles 

He grins

He laughs

Denial has a sharp edge.

I stand there silent

And bleed out.

the whispers are coming through

the drones of noise elevated

the spark of big bang enlarged beyond time

it comes down to this

the gizzards are in you but will they be used

the feelings cannot be extinguished

none of them we need them all

the train pulls up to the station platform

you are

5 weeks and it will all be over

The waiting for winter’s end

Cold weeks shifting over cold sheets

The rain nuzzling my lover’s ear 

In the wetland of the lover’s lagoon

Dreaming hearts are woken at noon

The night shows its hand

Spreading from midnight through morning and

Back again.


Lengthening shadows

On the other side of the chasm
she resembles drapery--
grandmother's drapery--
with a large medallion hanging from her neck
and heavy printed fabric clinging loosely

Casually her shoulder is exposed
displaying pale skin and pink sheer fabric.
She is old.
She is alive.
As long as she

The mirror only manifests the illusory of the shell for it cannot interpret.

I pray I never see the travesty of my sister's transfigured by fads

I cannot will myself to cling to society's need of conformity.

I am always chilled and chained to the carcass of life's regrets.

It seems as
