I once looked up at the stars and heavens / I was overcome with fear / That thing there is an endless void / Between me and it is nothing but air / And gravity / Thank heavens for gravity! / / (Check out my profile on Amazon.com and my book "The Philosophical God")
There in the hinterland This people I know Who love the sleeping sand For its distant glow A hut a hovel a house The grinding of the glass The hollow earth And freedoms passed Then lost. They choo choo south And boo hoo to any Who try to close its hungry mouth

from tribe to country
It's like actors They don't act all their lives They act when the camera is rolling Or when they find themselves in the mud I write love upon the hearts of men And women thank me for my service But when the seizure is over The madness is lost in an exhale And I transmute into the beast that I am Only to extort another soul to place in my tragedy

The love of the vampire
Did you sign the contract indeed? Indeed I did indeed.

one little old play
Danny was a good boy He kept his engine going But he never found joy He had many CDs But he left them in a pile He had a girlfriend But he hasn't ****** the ****** in a while So much for love She threw him into exile He was her toy Her lover boy The island fit him like a glove He started to smile Without her constant trail He was a freeman Setting sail **** this love He has music Sad music Doesn't have the same effect anymore Die young drink a **** load Oh boy death!

I'm fine
Embraced by the arms of solitude Finally a lover who knows his soul And he fell deep into sleep Safe as pillows on a bed Safe as houses On clouds of marshmallow and honey Dread has forsaken him And there appeared a door behind his eyes Opening it he found a vision The dearest friend of lost souls Soft ******* on which to lay the head Venus Supple Venus! Madonna Perched on the alter where he lost his youth Bleeding But healing I have found you You are my essence I shall cherish your form She woke

waking transformed
Twists and turns in the fire Flowing energy the mind's desire Every ember untouchable My sadness is incorrigible This is dire From toppidy mountain to lowest inspire The demons reach out They know what my pain is about To feel the hellfire As I try to remember what I'm worth Fetch some fire from the river So we don't have to shiver I'll burn before I freeze Let guilt claim my liver

River of Fire
**** all blacks! They said. **** all whites! They said. So they invented surrealism. It's not the contrast that matters. They said. It's the unexpected juxtaposition.

juxtaposition
Sweet sherry and muskadel wine From under the burnt pine I taste your wintery comfort As I gaze into this soul of mine There I see old lovers smile Whispering boldly as they beguile Caress my heart from within And pinprick stab the memory file Where has she gone now? Far far away awaiting my call.

midnight call from old lover
I catch the monster in your heart You catch yourself believing It's the love I feel for you That breaks the pain inside That shakes the lonely night That takes the hate beside Shatters the illusion of ego And unsettles like vertigo The proud tower of love But your touch is magic Only when our fate is tragic I have to make you see You want to be free Dominate me **** me Burn my body on the alter Of love we shall taste forever When I suffer I still love you

even so, I still love you
On the cusp of the tongue Lies the truth like song sung Beyond the artful landscape The gods on stone towers scrape A name that summons Humming angels of death Much good may it do you To know the heart of the lord No sword nor love Shall save you from the truth The harbinger of sorrow Like waves of fire shall Consume the, shall Swallow the, shall Digest the vestiges of order Until there is but one The babe in the reeds
