Night,
I love you
like a bride
loving her body,
the madman
the desert,
like the horse
loves its shadow,
the sad the lighthearted,
I love you like
a wanderer his ballad,
a poet his dark room,
like the moon.

Right now, my mind...
Is the proverbial popcorn machine.

Every little thing that bothers me is
likened to a kernel.
And to make popcorn, you need lots...
Bucketloads of kernels.

Dump them all in the machine.
Let them whirl.
They sit layered on top of each other
undisturbed,
on the hot bed until...
The spindly metal arms begin to rotate...
Whose sole purpose is to agitate.

Buttered with debilitating insecurities.
Sprinkled with irrational fears.
Heated with erratic temperament.

And here come the arms again.
Rotating,
churning,
inciting.

No one knows when the kernels
are going to cave and rupture.

Then...
"Pop!" would go one.
Then another...
And another...
Soon they would all start to explode.
When that happens,
I do too.

I love popcorn.
And I don't like to share.

Self harm I don't
Even think of that

One Eye blind
He searches earth
With just one purpose
Strangle birth
He laughs at us
With evil mirth
He hates us all
For what that's worth

Human beings
Just a toy
He'll come a girl
Or a boy
Sycophant
He will be coy
His motivation
To destroy

From below
From above
The devil's push
An "angel's" shove
He'll take hate
And call it "love"

You have two eyes
Within your heart
Blessings - curses
To impart
Find true love
Make a start
You will sing
"How Great Thou Art"


Before creating
Ties that bind
Briars - roses
That may wind
May be wicked
May be kind
Search the hearts
And you will find
The guise of devils

One eye blind

Satan sees with one eye
Thus he lacks DEPTH PERCEPTION

Beware "love bombing".  People will do it.
Evil organizations & "churches" will do it.
That's how I got involved with scientology.

And now is the time
             when I gather
my tribe around me
All the sacred members
            sworn to loyalty
from lands near and far
as we unify as one
and follow that distant star
                   move forward into
the deep promised darkness
                           of night
almost stealthily
as to not wake up the enemy
even if we know
that here there is no
                       real enemy
only the fragments of ourselves
that battle each other secretly
in our quest for learning
dreams that weave their way
                  around our brains
only the questions
that pierce with arrowed pain
with desert static glowing quiet
dusky murmurs of whispers
in their tacit riot        
                  braiding their way
like prayers in the soul
And so you are with me
            helping me stay whole                  
Holding my hands
as I go to release my burden
and let go of the tactical
                   remnants of what was
Express the undoing
                       that must happen
Put the new phase into
tender sprightly action
          there simply is no choice
no turning back now
and you my loving
                  truth warriors
Tribe of so many facets
You have encircled me with
          the most lit up aura ever
Together we long for the dream
beams of light
as we march forward
kindred spirits
into the glowing arc of dawn
and I am ready
to plunge
into the newness of fire
ride the waves of passion
feed pure white desire
So walk with me
             to the sacred ground
Soon I will be back
to complete the next round
The battle has only just begun
whatever has been started
simply must be done
As I step into
              freedom's new sphere
with you at my side
there is simply
no fear

'
Gathering my forces 'round

Take me out to the ball game
Teach children to spit on the ground
Teach kids to spit and to grab their crotch
Set an example
Take steroids in shots
For we know that our children will copy
Everything that you do
So our heroes keep shooting themselves in the foot
at the old ball game

Part of you cradles a star
that's why the Sun loves you

your dust is cosmic
your spirit eternal

the light of your star
a heart made for love

Hannah Henna slinging hash at least
She's not the ***** who forty years
or more ago made me her
***** and my *** could be no sorer

I never even married her
I have no ring to blame
They forged the signatures to look
Then made me' look like such a schnook

I sorely want to knock up heather
But, all she'll make are crack babies
I don't know how to diaper them
At least she doesn't ******* men

Wish all my children, real and' pretend
Would one day forgive me for their mothers' sins

We are all sinners
We all have shame
Some just hide it better
But it's all the same
Its easy to be
In a nice sheltered life
And judge other people
For misunderstood strife
The fact of the matter is
You dont know what you'd do
If an awful, life changing
Decision confronted you
Is not passing judgement
A wrong in its self?
What gives anyone the right
To judge someone else?
No one wrong
Is worse than another
So perhaps we should all shut up
And not preach at each other
Come tell me about it
When your kid's starving and you have to steal
Or you're twelve, knocked up
And now life's real
Tell me about it when you've grown up
Dirt poor and lost hope
So in order to keep sanity
You get hooked on some dope
Tell me about it when you get *****
And you have to make a choice
But the people keep trying
To shut you up and take your voice
That's right folks,
No one is more wrong or sinful than the other
We were all created equal
Sisters and brothers
We are ALL sinners
We ALL have shame
Some just hide it better
But it's all the same
I realise these are touchy subjects. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. This is just the way I see things.
