My resistance is probably futile
Like my lonely little life
But i do it anyway
Mercy for my wife

I make a bad nihilist
Too much yearning, too much wish
The eagle and the serpent
The dragon and the fish

   I rebel; therefore, we exist.

In the end we disappear
Like we were never even born

Why then all this worry
Hopeless and forlorn?

My sons today at play
Me distant far

UFOs they say
From a distant star

             Are?

Mental illness is a socially frightening form of religion.

Qualyxian Quest
No one knows beginnings
No one knows each ends
No one knows but destinies
As perhaps pretends

The journey is unknowing
Falling, breaking free
Then let us quest like sailors
Upon a cosmic sea

Perhaps we'll meet mind monsters
Perhaps a Sacred Queen
Or maybe none of the above
And all that's in between

I yearn to die a lover
And live unto the end
My heart aflame with Traveller's Tales
And aliens my friends!

Bring me to Seattle in summertime
I go a-questing the American Sublime

Moonlight, mountain - Skyline, sea
All my relations: Infinity!

The time of science fiction
The time of science fact
The time of aliens?
How would we react?
I post a bit of Facebook
I mail my Uncle Jack
I take a few steps forward
Sometimes I do look back

              I attack.

I feel like I have to steal myself from you

but it doesn't even matter
because you make me believe that
that's all I need

stolen pieces you've given 'permission' for me to steal

like I don't still have me






an impossibility
a dream


does it even matter
I will always have me
does it even matter

Traveler
Well it's kind of like Dracula
You know... no longer a big deal
There's just too many flat spots
No longer a wheel

It all measures the same
My burning love has no flame
My care wanders far
Beneath fallen stars

Yet actually my love grows
But only god need know
The faces that we wear
To rise above life’s despair!

he towered
as a majuscule,
his head in heaven,
in fields Elysian,

tiptoed I in his light
a shelter from the night
as the blind men shout
as the deaf men sprout

and true men are hidden
in the deep heights of heaven
within eternal time
shattering G-dless pantomime
majuscule
