"All which is beautiful and noble is the result of reason and calculation." -Charles Baudelaire.
My body, host of the latter beast of being Has infected me abhorrence flowing through the veins as if a sweet ****** remedy What earthly holds it has on the simple minded What policies it makes of the limited. Jesus, Would you kindly redeem me? And take the aching bones and implications from underneath me Lord take my flesh. Have it for your own. And as for my brothers and my sisters remove the cursed metaphors and fixations that contain their inept perceptions of identity Allow the spirits to Dance, On their infinite spectrums O We'll make a routine of it.

A brief Interview #1
Banana slug dance in evening, waiting for the fire to tire Seashells beg for rain While in summer, electric blue midnight comes to an end Too true too are dripping droplets on sandy patch Shore lapping and rose hip land locked in garden was trapped Moon hangs upside down, casting beams on boulders where stacks of snails stare transfixed by licks of light on glistening trails And beneath it all, a lonely lobster sings a sorry song A lament to the lost and the already gone

Electric Blue Midnight
Dented road ahead Made of obsolete shapes Not two impressions alike         But miserably dented To make it unique Perfect Drive through your childhood Flip a car Never know Crush a skull Or pass merrily on With no second glance

Road Made of Stones
Sipping on the sweetest of liquors But poison soon to be That fuels famous fools and lovers   with tears of a bitter enemy Eventually the oldest friends Will ****** that bottle down Til throats dry up and tears don't flow And then we'd rather drown

Sip
Years on I saw you from across a busy street and decided to stay unseen You Dressed like you always did Wearing something that must have Been a smile Hand in tiny hand With a picture of you

Up From the Ground
And when I thought hard about it I knew it to be true That Something old Could make me something new

Tilting forwards
Between dark layers And sun setting horizons Something beautiful was born

Balancing act
Many years from here, today   When you're finally on your deathly way Think very hard of who you want to be It's hard I know, incredibly But do the maths all on your own And don't be scared of the unknown Do not let others tell you what to do Or you'll become one of them too Just Believe in yourself and soon you'll find you can fit into just about any state of mind And when you're on that final breath You'll be ready to warmly welcome death when the lights begin to fade And bits of life start to evade Will you travel the world, inside your head? or just count your coins and wet the bed

A Penny and the Echo
Long since forgot But never once forgot The days before Think of sharpened scents Wafting through forgotten places Petrol fumes or sea breeze air Think of far off sights Red roofs reflected on the surface of glistening rock pools Yellow light running through it all red against powdery blue Think of it all Again and again All long gone, but not forgot

Reflection
He could have crushed it if he'd liked That squirming thing in between his fingers Tiny black Bulbous eyes, staring up at him trying in a panic to speak without words Arrange some kind of bargain for its life Yellow Lilac tinted wings Perfectly symmetrical, pulsated with fear Taking the left one first, he tore at each end untill hearing the tiny snap Then the next one turning to sick crumbling dust blended into the mud A thin black strip of a thing in the dirt If life was fair, it could have been stood on But was not granted such dignity He would leave it for the sun or the buzzards An eye for an eye, after all
