these days
The lines on your pupils mark Jupiter's Landscapes Your soul is a cosmic journey Your ascension is the sun, where every being draws love and rejuvenation from your glow Your curves are the pyramids that home Pharaohs and Goddess while they rest Your tongue moves with gusts that toss rubies into the sky Your skin is soft and is the colour of my imagination And in your mind Sculptures are moulded and music is created Memories find refuge and old souls laugh And there are nameless graves. And caves and mountains and galaxies to explore. You are Landscapes That ground existence and home the unwanted. You tell your ancient stories of the first hour glass to be turned by the hands of what was more than man. You are Landscapes.

Landscapes
She calls it "Soiree for the Somber"; where clowns dance and fools are golden. They speak often with their severed tongues and only on occasion do their hearts beat. I am there. Where she is. And soon our bodies will die of lonely deaths; funerals for coffins. Our minds are where masks go to cry, except there are no tears; only smiles. A museum, where there was once paradise, of drowning arts and melted portraits. Look at these walls and songs of diamond, here we pledge allegiance to the Play. I can feel the air is thickened, thickened with liquor; the atmosphere carries miscounted steps. Listen. Hear it. The noises in the night, the mourning of the sad. Here is where we pledge allegiance

Soiree for the Somber
What is an object in the light is a moving shadow in the night. Stand between them Shoot them in the head and dance with their demons. Tessellate and heavy eyes It's mourning And I'm still up. Open my eyes to the blinding light In an ocean of darkness, I sea. Time becomes length Thought becomes sight Vivid consciousness takes flight A troublesome delight. Slip in Slip out Dream in dream out Dayless nights Tiresome wake A moving shadow in the night Is but an object in the light.

So much of death's life clung to his limbs. So much thirst drowning his lungs. So much hunger filling his gut. The man was exhausted. The man was weighed down. The man had lost his pace, and had forgotten his face. Time forgot to matter, idle clocks hung. And I watched. As he pulled on.

baggage
Freefall into the core of the night Into the void- filled emptyness Where darkness is beautiful And scissor thoughts are blunted by the light Where silence is our luxury Our symbol of depth Come with us Where wolves howl at a moonless sky Where there is no reflection; only absorption, total takeover of the soul. Where our eyes are flooded with ravens And our tears are the wings that free them. This is where we accept the death that is us.

Conjure of Night
I and I We are alone No man is here For us to lean on Perhaps it is time For us to stand on our own And so we've learnt That solitude is bravery But we are a fearful one With a courageous soul I and I With our teary eyes It is ok to cry Yet let it not be a sign Of our weakness for desire And so we've discovered Our two legs and two arms One mind and one heart One life and one start I and I We shall not be broken By these words that are spoken Or the party of four And so from ignorance We've risen But by consciousness We've fallen I and I Here, the coward cannot run But must face crowd Like a tiger above tame Unrefined and without shame And so they WILL learn To call us by our name With ease or with strain But never in vain. I and I Be strong Be brave For society cannot tell you Just how to be you. And soon we will see That we are destined to be free Destined for oneness Peace and harmony.

the gradual.
She said: I am RA Goddess of the Sun Sun which I created From the glow in my Eye. Rise and fall But never fail Illuminator of the darkest day Sole star Souldier star I am RA Goddess of the Sun. Then She said: And I am KAMARIA Goddess of the Moon Moon which I moulded From the art in my Touch Day and night But never dark Gatekeeper Of the twilight's paradise True moon Full moon I am KAMARIA Goddess of the Moon She is the spirit of dawn, The spirit of dusk. She is the sun that she created, The moon that she moulded. She is a force Unbound Shift and shape at will. She is RA KAMARIA The Woman In The Mirror.

RA KAMARIA
Still waters disturbed. Unrest within the ripples. Tranquil destruction; Wilting weeds and underwater plants. Drowning in an unqeunchable thirst.

destructive interference
I am the Dead Man's Growth. Sworn under oath To protect what I loathe My being is my blackness As I consciously follow a forgotten path. My rotten past A joy that fails to last Faces that cannot be seen Whisper cloud secrets That infect me Dominate me And re-educate my subconscious mind. My hell cannot be reached But travels as far as my blind hollows can see. A seed of backward growth Springs a tree of hatred's most. Soundless cries The noise in me now ceases to exist My body is without a voice Logic-defying existence. Winds forget to mourn My death. Clouds drift; sun smiles As who I am Falls with the moon.
