Gangrel
Dustin Dean Jun 2018
Two serpents
Across the nile, swim across
Their sinful, hedonistic seed
Defame the cross
With delicious realities
Of an inevitable purpose
It just makes me wonder
If soon will come a hearse
Of everyday's escapes
If so, I'd rather not pass out
Before the end of this parade
What have I gotten myself into?
A dying cycle
Never anew

pipe dream
Dustin Dean May 2018
igloos of burning reveries
we hid in to save ourselves
it was a simpler time, indeed
but for a greater cost, to bleed
our emotions for a fast high
it was a lasting paradise
but for a hastened goodbye
to send off our love, again
into the wild blue yonder

no, i won't pretend to know
just how it all seems
i only hope we'll meet again
in another dream

Sun God
Dustin Dean Jul 2016
Sun God
Free me from my pale blue eyes
Sun God
Hug me with all of your size
My God
Will your bidding ever begin?
My God
I can't wait to be one with the end

It is never enough
When you are not
Tough enough to "be"
At last, work is done
So burn me
Until I'm set free

Hello?
Dustin Dean Mar 2018
Hello?
Are you still there?
Moonlight colored sheets adorn
The fuzzy state I reside
Between lines and prospects
Tunnel vision takes us down
As we loom through doom
But fear not!
My darling
For there is light
At the end of our tunnel
A matrimony of harmony
And a will of steel
Our vows raise from poppies
Reflecting beams in our eyes
Though, I may not be there
But hand in hand
I shall say
Our love is destined
To never die

We will see to it
We will

Tangled
Dustin Dean Apr 2018
It seems I’m lost in what I’ve found
But too tired to get myself through
This tunnel known as time
Even against my will
Go through, I must

Love Potion of Death
Dustin Dean May 2018
Fairest lady is mine own poison
A brume of sweet pear and Irish fragrance
Yet, I can not throw her hence
For she ravages the mind and soul
That was graced to me upon birth

Her departure still haunts me so
The unexpected nature of it
Visions of her wispy hair lights
And tangles over her sweet face
Rosy it was, during amorous rites

Now I'm hath left with thoughts
Of another man in all of the spots
That we beautifully existed in
So curse this love potion of death!
Until the very day that I die!

Onward
Dustin Dean Mar 2019
A palette of every hue, tells a tale
Visions of terrestrial views, we shall fail
As a community, burdened by lust
For green, in paper, until dust

Vehicles in bloom, make the distance
No question to intentions, incentives
For a reality, structured in somethings
A mere reflection, for greater summits

In days such as this, in my mind
Shrouded in willow green, I find
Must I question, a beckoning call
Before the season’s quilt, shall fall

I am blinded, in peripheral vision
To carry on, toward no provision
For anyone, or anything in my way
Until the white light graces me
In my wake

Life
Dustin Dean Jul 2016
An aorta of concentration
Relinquishes the trail of venom

It evenly spreads by seed
Through bags to senses

Why does it do the deed?

What If?
Dustin Dean Apr 2018
If you could live your life perfectly
Would you win the love of your dreams?
Or perhaps would you acquire
Drifting dollars stacked by the sea?

Would you float by the moon
In hopes of experiencing
Something new?
Or maybe a time machine
To the past or the future
Would do

You could go back very far
To the birth of a star
Experiencing it
Again and again
Until your mind split

So, what if I told you
Life would lose its meaning
With accurate perfection
And there would be nothing
To live for
In days full of bore

So, enjoy your life
While you can
For the only thing perfect
Is imperfection

A Concern
Dustin Dean Mar 2018
Only a genuine love can slay
Euphemistic friends from afar
Though staying grounded in clouds
Is easier than it sounds
And troubling thoughts play
The man who will pay

It makes its way away
And now it stays
Vestigial moods dance
As you start to wonder
What will be her stance?
In a life that’s seasonal

You ought to be reasonable
For she cannot see
Thoughts hidden
And good intentions to be
275 · Mar 2018
Conclusions
Dustin Dean Mar 2018
All the words
And all the worlds
Add up to you

All the lies
And rock-a-byes
Rock a world
Then rule the world

I won't let you this time
I will let you down
To the grave
For your own sake

Hell and Back
Dustin Dean Jun 2018
The tender girl had qualms with none
Detatched, there was nothing for the son
Forced to backtrack whilist rolling downhill
Flashing images remain
Of that private, idealistic mill
So I called her name
In the Nether Realm, she screamed
Yes, she is a hard one to please
Especially when she sees
One going through the motions
Rotations into false vocations

So tell me
What was your question again?
one of a bunch of poems i found from years ago

Man's stones start to crumble down

Holy Vortex
Dustin Dean Apr 2018
Holy vortex
Which rests under our knees
Bring us closer
To the final disease
In which we realize
Life is nothing
But a sweet, sad dream

Afterthought
Dustin Dean Apr 2018
A damaged hymn broke the spell
And soon opened eyes were abound
Coursing through the luring maze
Which led to a bright light
Of which hopefully
Would not burn their sight

"No one asked to be here"
Bellowed out the red one
As he picked up the pieces
To the blue one's mind

As the rest of the colors waited
The light engulfed them
A bright white light
Containing every color

All of their hopes
And dreams
All of their feelings
And thoughts
Were married
And destroyed

And such was life

Task Manager
Dustin Dean Jun 2018
Incinerate the world around
Never knowing when you'll be found
And just when you think your time is due
Alas, another task is given to you

So Long, Old Flame
Dustin Dean Jun 2018
Sometimes, somedays, I wonder
Just what you have been up to
Even though it's been so long

Our love was like an orange flame
Beautiful and incandescent
But through the winds of time
Slowly put out

I type a fair weathered greeting
But can't get myself to send it
My hand starts to shake
And my heart starts to pound

What if
You respond with indifference?
What if
You don't respond at all?

So I close out the message
And just wonder to myself
What you have been up to
Because it's been so long

crawl blind
Dustin Dean Feb 2019
this sickle is eager
to find the sick
better finish that unlaid track
before it finishes you
front to back

dirt that lays beneath my feet
cold and callous underneath
as fertile as a boy without a home
tongue in tact

where's the wash i've wished
would shroud over houses
i've deserted in their wake

Oh, Mother
Dustin Dean Feb 2019
Thy midnight blue sky
Of mine
She beckons me
With gleaming stars
And dreams afar

I reach for the tune
That suits me best
As choirs of angels
Watch Heaven at her crest

She gently brings me down
To Mother's slumber
Her caressing is nigh
As I relieve my sigh
To enriched thoughts
Beyond the medium
Of which we are wrought

Man Against Man
Dustin Dean Apr 2018
Vile streams saturate into the air
Filling the void with an impeccable strain
It’s them against them, all for all
Violating the law in the jaw of the world
So tell me what you think is the answer
And I’ll hammer my fist down and say
Total annihilation is the only salvation
For humanity

Strenuous symbolism goes unnoticed
Meanwhile, there goes another head unturned
Living under the reigns of a bastille
You too will serve its subservience
Through a will for the ******
Egocentrism dissolution
The reigns of our destiny
Speak through me
Arrested development
For the world’s government
Multiverses all around
Mourn during the last sound
Total annihilation is the only salvation
For humanity

World's Finest Chocolate
Dustin Dean Apr 2018
Are your knickers in a knot
Or is your head full of snot?
Then by golly, eat this chocolate
For it'll rid you of yer troubles

Do let me know when it works
Like I said, it'll rid the troubles
... Into runny brown puddles

Trek of Ages

Harmonious visions pry and ****
False promises never deliver a nod
Should I keep walking ahead?
Cause time and space sure won't say

You say that you care
Yet, you always disappear

Dinosaurs
Dustin Dean May 2018
There is no use in idle play
For the draconian way will fill
A void unheeded by Mother's milk
Sustaining those serpents born to bilk
Before they **** you and your soul dry
To climb up that misty mountain high
With three cheers and a soluble dream
An awareness that pulsates in seams
Shows currency can not be eaten
When everything else has been beaten
181 · May 2018
Sigh
Dustin Dean May 2018
Some nights I see the moon
And wonder if you see it, too
Perhaps, you do
In another universe
That hums along to another tune
Where the rich are poor
And the naughty are nice
Traverse I shall
Even if it’s only
In my mind
149 · May 2018
no shame in my veins
Dustin Dean May 2018
in this climb
you were blind
so i held out
in high hopes

we fought hard
we sold well
but you fell
the way down
to low death

Rapid Appetite
Dustin Dean Oct 2017
In the dawn of an hour so nigh
I yearn for that savory taste
Not yet plasma, not yet blood
Yet it rests and tests
Bringing me down into the void
Through and through
From quark to quark
I see the embers of life
Shift into unique forms of repetition
All too familiar to my soul
A timeless form of art
Which we forever fall into
Jumping out of sequences
Only to find yourself in another
They say its best to admire from afar
And so it’s the deed that is done

No more yearning for life
Is no more yearning for death

Voluptuous Recipient
Dustin Dean Oct 2017
Killing the exhilaration
Of which was once the sun
Into exodus, outro vaticus
Monoliths seethe beneath
Our snake oil salesmen
In conjunction to a megalith
Known for its charlatan ways
Which gave its status to me
Through wisdom and woe
I felt the brisk wind confront me
Decades later, you found my grasp
Now I’m inside of you
Just buying time
So let’s hide under tainted carpets
For their warmth
Sillhouettes of marauders are above
But we’ll just laugh as they pass
For they know not what they’ll do
When the curtain call is due

Saige
Dustin Dean Feb 2018
A new mood was found
Traveling on through with you
Into the effigies of a place
Specifically made for us

The church bell rang on
Commemorating us
From meeting to blessing
Of the highest order

We share these eyes
A bond to paralyze
An imaginary border
Between my room
And your quarter
Soon to be banished
By those unseen

— The End —
