Behold this sand of time
As the shores of despair
Roll in to sneak it into the depths
Dark is the abyss of a sleepless dream
Where madness is one name away

Dare you speak it

Cthulhu

Wrap me in your endless tendril maw,
Devour soul from flesh
And discard the pickled husk
Let me fade away in shadow
To see your grace,
O’ Old one

Spread madness in a holy word
Eviscerate this world —
Feed it to the void and all its twilit chaos

And then I wake —
Somewhere between a dream and a distant realm
I will come as a herald,
To ring the end of timelines
To bind my mind to singularity.

My fate is my own,
Under the huntress moon,
Into the valiant sun,
‘Cross the diamond caves of night
And the blue oceans of day
I will not be misled.
Had a wacky dream where I was a silver surfer type character but as a herald to Cthulhu and not Galactus and my goal was to destroy the multiverse and bring it all to a singularity.

In shadows deep, where justice sleeps,
A vigilante grimly creeps.
Frank Castle's name, a whispered dread,
For those who leave the innocent dead.

No hammer's might, no web's swift swing,
No gamma's rage, no mystic thing.
His weapon's steel, his gaze is cold,
A story etched in years of old.

A family lost, a life torn apart,
A burning rage within his heart.
The system failed, the wicked thrived,
A new kind of justice he contrived.

The skull emblazoned on his chest,
A symbol stark, putting souls to test.
Each bullet fired, a silent plea,
For vengeance, for what ought to be.

Through darkened alleys, rain-slicked streets,
He hunts the prey, his purpose meets.
The guilty tremble at his stride,
No place to run, nowhere to hide.

Some call him monster, filled with hate,
Ignoring the cruel hand of fate.
But victims' cries, a haunting sound,
On hallowed, unforgiving ground.

He walks a path, a lonely fight,
Against the darkness, day and night.
The Punisher, a name that chills,
Where broken justice slowly spills.

Though lines are blurred, and morals fray,
He seeks a brighter, cleaner day.
A brutal answer to despair,
The weight of vengeance he must bear.

One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime.

Can’t rest,
Eyes don’t close
Unpaid debts will be paid in due course
Haunted screams
Puncture the eardrums to a deafening ring.

I won’t stop,
No god in heaven
No devil in the kitchen,
Can shackle my wrath.
Death’s right hand,
Copper jackets piercing
Holes to open paths for souls
And I’ll ***** it all out.

This city is rot,
And they’re out there
Wraiths tormenting peace
I won’t suffer a fool,
To endure the truth.
I failed to protect you…
But I can avenge.

Punish those
Who think themselves untouchable
The chamber is loaded.

One batch.
                      Two batch

  Penny and dime.

This war zone of mine.
i'm gonna get them all.

Those beautiful animals
Were born
They grew and
They were used
For chariot racing
Then suddenly
They died and
Here we are
2000 years later
Marveling at their skeletons

The Mendacity of Beauty,  Marvels of the Mundane

A special carnet permits the day,
though day itself unremarkable,
permissioning of a thousand,
even, tens of ten thousand
grasping new love poems

all mundane, all marvelous

an aborning of odes re the
vastness of sea, sandy sky,
multifarious penumbras of hewn hues,
vibrantly diverse, still, requiring the
expanse and pretense of “new”
adjectives and metaphoric
in combos recalculating

precisely, it’s the enormity,

of the difficulty of verbal capture
upon tablet of these natural treasures,
once, more, yet again, but in somehow in a new-never
quite-before conceptional~postulation-realization

I sojourn amidst both man made and natural beauty,
provoking, invoking, a steady stream of potable knowledgeables, performing as a hand-written-thank-you-note for the grace, the imagination of their mishmash existences addressed only to

“whom it may truly concern…”

I’m eager to confess that the poetry inherent in the
mundane, requiring not-so-easy mining, a sales taxing
innovation to capture the subtlety of less visible flecks of gold, that present a rarer challenge to the poet’s senses where glory abides in pyrite pebbles strewn and trod upon by most indifferently,

ah, write of the marvel of the mundane,
**** dare you!

this bowl can still
be repaired
even if it
seems broken
irredeemably
even if its pieces
have been trodden
underfoot
further ground down
in an effort
to recover those
scattered fragments
as unlikely as
it may be that
these edges can
be jigsawed together
aligned once more
it could simply be
a case of
embracing the cracks
that might remain
filling them
with something
to be marvelled at
she said
that i manage
to reduce
the nicest moments
into their
most negative
aspects
my eyes wandered
as she spoke
falling upon
an extravagant
burst of
the sun's rays
exploding through
the rolls
of pearly cloud
colouring the sky
with blooming petals
of pinks
and oranges
haloed by yellows
and creams
a sight
to marvel at
perhaps
but without
the imperfection
of that
darkened shroud
this light
would not
be mixed
into such
artistic palettes
and
the magnificence
of the scene
would go
unnoticed

"Nerdy kid from Queens in the city that never sleeps,
Single moments without the peace and ability to be eased,
Simplicity to finding your dreams replacing the deeper means,
With a Genius intellect, No these kids can not rival me,
I was brought up and taught these things and took the blessings,
A misconception in human minds don't get the message,
Babylon in full effect ,is where we're all headed,
One day I'm gonna be something,I think manifest it,
My teenage years were pretty weird and wasn't kind to me,
Richard and Mary Parker was just distant memory,
If anything I found myself a remedy to cope with thinking why
I found all of this as a stranger dreaming,
Who knew one day I actually become a man?
Who knew one I'd actually have a real friend?
Who knew one day that I would be bitten by a radioactive
engineered Spider in the very end?.....

Succumb to the attraction,
And you just might find
The greatest marvel the
World failed to define.
