"Death's gaze ever present on it's tentacles A weight of power unformidable Crashing down upon its victims" Beware the Kraken! A monster of seas The one sung about in many shanties Marauding, ripping, and crushing its victims This a myth by which the crew schisms But the unsteady seas beneath the hull Bubbling and boiling, the ocean calls Unleashing from the bowels of the deep A beast of lost worlds, oceans it reaps The Kraken, awaken, outstretches it limbs The skies are blackened, the heavens dim With tyrannical force he unfurls his power The mast snaps, wood shards and splinters shower Fearful men aboard are pulled to a watery grave Oceanic law, for this crew of knaves The last aboard the teetering deck A captain standing tall within the wreck Howling at the beast below Again tentacles high above the sea grow Dragging the wreckage into the water Appeasing the beast, the great destroyer

Kraken
High above the teetering mast A shout long awaited is heard at last "Land ** Land ** Straight ahead" Across the sea, the mariners sped The mass of land, close in range Ominously, the winds have changed The ship drops anchor a hundred yards out Rowing in without a doubt Making landfall, the ****** cheered A great appraisal to Brown Beard Gallivanting, their songs sung loud Roused, the sea soughed Ripping from the strenuous tides The monster emerges, the sea divides Crashing down upon the ship Fearful men tighten their grip Threshing about as the beast descends Into the depths where the mirk never ends Duped, the mariners take their last breath Inhaling, the seas grant them their death Bloated corpses resurfacing The dubious island repositioning Full, the gulls await For the next to take the bate

Aspidochelone
The leaves drift down around the man- made contours curbside. As they ride the current, bellies up, skimming the surface like a school of dead fish, dully lulling in the orbit of the gutter; Disturbed by a porcelain drifter, she stutters under a dim street light, her feet unfold to the b a r c o d e symmetry. A silhouette of ethereal beauty when she turns to face he, et devient librement

where two Ends meet.
Watch as the world turns a cold shoulder Watch as the man stands, hands on head dead, silence emits a deafening roar Watch as the kids pick up guns suns expiring, darkening the day before it's hour Watch as the woman morns the one she'd adorn means nothing any more another 'x' on sheet Watch as the world numbs itself Watch as the coward next to you smokes himself To Death, too afraid to do it quickly. He has no passion watching the cherry lengthen Watch as the humans demean their existence Persistent to vacate the throne "Long live Technology!" Watch as the world takes everything back Watch as the television melted minds fall fast, in-adept survival of the fittest on a grandeur scale frailty unveiled Watch through the window afraid of life ...just keep watching.

Voyeurists Trooped
There's a malevolent, benevolent storm on the coast, boasting unsurpassable power. I used to feel a mother's embrace here, in the displacement. The imprint of my mortal mold through the waves, but now these white caps remind me of frequencies written in bed sheets. My feet freeze and melt into the sand. Commanding my stature be strong as these longing strides return me diligently to the seas, free of the once binding shackles; your infidelity.

Tonight I Face the Future
I am everywhere I am nowhere I am the last one you'll think about I am the first one you'll dream about I am the sun at it's brightest I am the moon in it's shyness I am organized I am lost I am the breath of the wind I am the deprivation of space I am knowledgeable I am still asking questions I am of this world but I am not a part of it what mystery do I have to offer? I am but a man thus here sought after I can show you all, but you'll never know me I am my own worst enemy.

Self-portrait
the passage through time is quite uneasy imbedded in concrete; consciousness dreamy faces skewing, anemic monsters intricate patterns, enhances, obscures repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, incomprehension, incomprehension i can't continue, can't vacate i'm only human, my souls to take i discovered what it means to be when you can truly see the epiphany of heavenly monstrosity visions of a black hole theory i've seen all of time in one moment the future, the past, times of atonement lucid and frightful enlightening and grateful heartbeat steadies i think i'm ready to explore the world from a different standpoint and fully know this is not an endpoint it's forever changing and we're made for adapting our primal nature's to live i will never be held captive

Enigmatic Visions
Pyres of cityscapes burn contingently in the distance ever drunk with blood of a mother, a nurturer who asks nothing of the morose, self-consumed existence she cares for. Her brow cocked, wrinkles descend like rain that tears down a window. Pain. You're bleeding out! But she'll never put herself forefront. How could she? Sitting, reflecting. Tormented by incompetence, her soft voice silently flutters the leaves. Drearily an extension of her lips, the words escape the cusps like a cautious prairie-dog. Smog obscures the senses, a haze darkening the pupils of your celestial eyes. I still see You drooping in the rocker under a hard light. Retaining know- ledge of past and present, through spectacles. Her deflating **** secreting concrete into the sucklings, cementing fate, as the clock that hangs above her falters. I shutter to think of the future that's afore. When the one who's raised me is not. No more. Your timber limbs look awfully thin. Restless and alone, she's tired. "Abandoned" we're all alone, but your company means more to me than a sustainable stone.

Periphery of Sustainability
Like the infertile young debonair of the American Dream, whiskey dicked, and moaning over the sweaty heap of calloused flesh, my "relationships" are brimful of disappointment. The throngs of love drunk junkies eager to play, dressed for the Concert of Apollo and the Muses. Naked grudges, threshing and gushing the way the chicken did; grandmother with head in hand. Rhythmic and off beat, instinctual. Begging; more, more, more. They're beginning to wear the same face, a carnal imprint of satisfaction. But I know they don't see me, how could they, lying, eyes rolling in the back of their heads? My eyes still. I can picture your face here but it'd never do, subdued issues of a fallacy state. Irate. How could you leave this impression? Emotional digression. I've promised myself time and time again not to fall for the same old **** that kiss, that ****** blood-inked kiss. But the insulin fused memories scream. I detest the wretchedness I've exposed myself to. A period of forgetting you, but the passage of time pulling grain from grain, uplifts my disdain. I finally feel comfortable unveiled, awaken, lying next to the humming lips of a foreign swain.

Mechanisms
Outstretched over tightly woven grids of interlaced cityscapes, storm clouds purge their bodies. Rolling thunder claps, snapping like a rattrap executioner. Lightning strikes, it follows along to: Fibonacci's beat one and one is two and one is three and two is five and three is eight. Eight legs, like the ****** who spun these threads of buildings with a widows design. All the while wearing her red sign of warning, this city will ensnare you, and bleed you dry.
