today we visit graveyards
turning over the wormy soil
to uncover the exquisite corpse

though we were told to
let the dead bury the dead

on this day we unbury
the dearly departed

relishing transcendent
embraces and cool
cervezas with jolly
amigos and la
familia who have
gone on before

we wrap ourselves
in graveblankets
to complete warm
circles of love

embracing our
beloved companeros;
gleaning netherworld
heavenly rest wisdom,
sharing the laughter
of trite earthly concerns

we’ll roll speckled tortillas
on smooth tombstone mesas
to feast on Mariachi tacos
brimming with spicy queso,
chased with another cool sip

waltzing with the holy bones
to the candle lit reveries
of this evenings
flowing melodies

Third Eye Candy
it was not so clear, the day. it was hostile and tranquil.
what sort of Day is That ?
I think it sparkles.
But it's gem is mean, beneath carbuncles -
and none shall pass
without wretched disfunction.
without Unpeace swilling the liqueur
of dark sweets.

it was not so clear, the day. but it clarified the manacles.
what sort of Day is that Dark ???
I think it hardens the heart of all kindness....
but it's dream is obscene, and needs the rest of Heaven's Council.
But Love's an ***
that saw the Angel... not the bulletproof glass.
just the the angle of Descent
and the " No Wisdom ".

it hurts Because.
You Live
for no reason at all
and that's the worst
Joy.

Because.

My lies use to fill my mind
I use to shove them aside
My icy interior
Could never hear
The lies screaming
And teasing
So I smiled on
Believing my guilt was gone

Now my lies
Aren't afraid to hide
They burn my soul
Try to eat me whole
Their silence is loud
And they sit very proud
That they made me see
Just how mean I can be

Sweet in its own form
Unescapable but brilliant
To lose yourself into it
Throwing away
The moment or a day
A satisfying drug
A guiltful pleasure
That leaves you desiring
Craving
Longing
For that one thing
Which despises reality
Because you as well
Wish to end it
