i walk by this bar all the time
these guys sit outside and twirl their ironic mustaches and i want to say
your mustache has never looked better
but i just keep walking.
somewhere a leashed mutt yawns
and i feel it's warm breath on the back of my neck.
i have seen all

There’s a wreak out on the four lane

It’s a bloody gory sight

Some guy’s sprawled on the pavement

 

Fighting for his life 


We all know that we shouldn’t look 


But you know we always will

 

It’s just our second nature 


We’ll never get our fill.

Is it Ironic that that the Angels cry tonight as I do.

Express their anger with thunder and warnings as the lightening.

Their thunder is my heart ache and lightening of things gone and not to ever

I cough up red jellyfish
hacked from my chest 

& they splatter the floor
in Pollock globs.

Chiseling the smeared tile
I sell it off in bits and

dry heave as my blood
becomes art.

With the profits I browse
buy a large glass fishtank

to let my newfound

Please ten more minutes before this dream wakes me up.
Sugar energy and give motivation an egotistical talent fuck.
I guess the world melted into who we are.
Sorry I left you hanging on that star.

You labeled the moon a window to my eyes.
I gave you the ocean and

Lets fly these words dirty into the wash of fate.
Call our love over miles but the phone rings distance and time to late.
Do you miss me or miss just to miss?
Will you fuck me or is love only a kiss?

Cry the future today when we ride dreams

Twas the very encounter of eyes locked on that fair night.

The ambition in the dark had drawn me to you most.

Secretive mind altering emotions on the mind of both.

The oh so ever urge to be for

I have been reading comments

Atmospheric like comets.

People gaining new perceptions

Vast like stamp collections.

And I know you're here for support

Like foundations stalwart.

So thanks ahead of time.

I’ve been told and shown of a way
That if
ushered on toward my wish
my hope of harmony and bliss
held in the cusps of my hand
through a life of unacceptable terms
patient and accommodating
silent and smiling;
waits for a sign – opportunity
Neglects the soul

A soul drunk in despair touched by an unknowable love affair; caught sober over breakfast coffee steaming from hot mugs

The previous night’s curious wants now nude in the barren reality of day

Light forcing eyelids to accept another course in lonely desire

In his pain he burns the eggs and cries

The moment of clarity

The moment of truth

Seen only from the eyes of the newborn

And remembered at the moment before death.

The spirits are in an altered state

And the hallucination humanity

Experienced in all its brilliance

And each trip is a journey into the great mystery

Of the self

Though are souls are divine
And our path to God winds
Around opposite ends
Our hearts and blood are one
Unite and shake in the same fear
And choke on the same snot
From the same wound
As siblings of our mother's disease

Remembering our Angel-kissed bruises
Prayers to the Gods that kept
