"bacchus" poems
The beauty of comatose can only be seen through the eyes of a wizard in a blizzard strutting in garlic slippers, or Christ with knees bent at the tabernacle peeling bananas and kicking prayers farther than eternity with each gapping second, or like Basquiat slumped back to the wall, with ounces of speedball dancing through his veins, eating 80’s free-based fried chicken *******   as his eyelids paints beautiful nightmares of lemon flowers and Bacchus bacon over a glycopyrrolate desert of flagrant cuckold buffoonery. Or like leprechauns burning chocolate ******* candles on the mantle of Zion, sipping oatmeal sprinkled with Staten Island malt liquor bacon. or like Tupac reading the thoughts of Mother Shipton through the daze of California cannabis and hearing the ominous voice of Plutarch sing death assignments from heaven to Assassins on horsebacks goggling ***** water to wet the dry bones of their throats as they prepare to fulfill the gospel of self-fulfilling prophecies of being fell by ***** bullets. Or like sophisticated wallets of spice and kitchen characters in a bald head cooking chemical kisses and 18 February nights under Moloch’s skin, where constitutions are written in charcoal diaries with Egyptian ciphers and razors. “I had rain sowed into the pockets of my sneakers and composed 1310 eulogies at the basement of king David’s tower,” said the Kraftwerkian caricature, as he dangles cigarettes in remembrance of Klaus Nomi and philosophizes on the proliferation of poetic vandalism at urinals where modernism failed under the phosphorescence of coloration at the avenue of no trees where Picasso's "Guernica" **** Lies All.

Uncharmable charmer Of Bacchus and Mars In the sounding rebounding Abyss of the stars! O ****** in armour, Thine arrows unsling In the brilliant resilient First rays of the spring! By the force of the fashion Of love, when I broke Through the shroud, through the cloud, Through the storm, through the smoke, To the mountain of passion Volcanic that woke --- By the rage of the mage I invoke, I invoke! By the midnight of madness: - The lone-lying sea, The swoon of the moon, Your swoon into me, The sentinel sadness Of cliff-clinging pine, That night of delight You were mine, you were mine! You were mine, O my saint, My maiden, my mate, By the might of the right Of the night of our fate. Though I fall, though I faint, Though I char, though I choke, By the hour of our power I invoke, I invoke! By the mystical union Of fairy and faun, Unspoken, unbroken - The dust to the dawn! - A secret communion Unmeasured, unsung, The listless, resistless, Tumultuous tongue! - O ****** in armour, Thine arrows unsling, In the brilliant resilient First rays of the spring! No Godhead could charm her, But manhood awoke - O fiery Valkyrie, I invoke, I invoke!

Pan to Artemis
It didn't matter if it was August, and the air felt like an oven on broil, or if it was February, and the dumpsters were icecicles to the soul. We needed ***** and since we didn't have jobs, the cans, at 5 cents a piece were our aluminum tickets to sweet relief. The magic click. Enough cans meant a bottle of whiskey ***** gin, anything to dull the sharp, vivid pain of life. We sifted through cat **** catsup ***** diapers discarded ***** mags, and all the other garbage from the rich and the poor. One winter morning, I threw back a heavy metal lid, and there was a fat raccoon looking up at me. If Bacchus or Dionysus were smiling, we found a full bottle. It happened once in a while during summer when the college kids headed home. Miles of walking, freezing or burning up, We were the aluminum cowboys.

We were the Aluminum Cowboys
The chrysolites and rubies Bacchus brings To crown the feast where swells the broad-vein'd brow, Where maidens blush at what the minstrel sings, They who have coveted may covet now. Bring me, in cool alcove, the grape uncrush'd, The peach of pulpy cheek and down mature, Where every voice (but bird's or child's) is hush'd, And every thought, like the brook nigh, runs pure.

The Chrysolites And Rubies Bacchus Brings
I dream’d this mortal part of mine Was Metamorphoz’d to a Vine; Which crawling one and every way, Enthrall’d my dainty Lucia. Me thought, her long small legs & thighs I with my Tendrils did surprize; Her Belly, Buttocks, and her Waste By my soft Nerv’lits were embrac’d: About her head I writhing hung, And with rich clusters (hid among The leaves) her temples I behung: So that my Lucia seem’d to me Young Bacchus ravished by his tree. My curles about her neck did craule, And armes and hands they did enthrall: So that she could not freely stir, (All parts there made one prisoner.) But when I crept with leaves to hide Those parts, which maids keep unespy’d, Such fleeting pleasures there I took, That with the fancie I awook; And found (Ah me!) this flesh of mine More like a Stock then like a Vine.

The Vine
Thrill with lissome lust of the light, O man ! My man ! Come careering out of the night Of Pan ! Io Pan . Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Come over the sea From Sicily and from Arcady ! Roaming as Bacchus, with fauns and pards And nymphs and styrs for thy guards, On a milk-white *** come over the sea To me, to me, Coem with Apollo in bridal dress (Spheperdess and pythoness) Come with Artemis, silken shod, And wash thy white thigh, beautiful God, In the moon, of the woods, on the marble mount, The dimpled dawn of of the amber fount ! Dip the purple of passionate prayer In the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare, The soul that startles in eyes of blue To watch thy wantoness weeping through The tangled grove, the gnarled bole Of the living tree that is spirit and soul And body and brain -come over the sea, (Io Pan ! Io Pan !) Devil or god, to me, to me, My man ! my man ! Come with trumpets sounding shrill Over the hill ! Come with drums low muttering From the spring ! Come with flute and come with pipe ! Am I not ripe ? I, who wait and writhe and wrestle With air that hath no boughs to nestle My body, weary of empty clasp, Strong as a lion, and sharp as an asp- Come, O come ! I am numb With the lonely lust of devildom. ****** the sword through the galling fetter, All devourer, all begetter; Give me the sign of the Open Eye And the token ***** of thorny thigh And the word of madness and mystery, O pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Pan Pan ! Pan, I am a man: Do as thou wilt, as a great god can, O Pan ! Io Pan ! Io pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Iam awake In the grip of the snake. The eagle slashes with beak and claw; The gods withdraw: The great beasts come, Io Pan ! I am borne To death on the horn Of the Unicorn. I am Pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Pan ! I am thy mate, I am thy man, Goat of thy flock, I am gold , I am god, Flesh to thy bone, flower to thy rod. With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks Through solstice stubborn to equinox. And I rave; and I **** and I rip and I rend Everlasting, world without end. Mannikin, maiden, maenad, man, In the might of Pan. Io Pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Pan ! Io Pan !

They're a funny lot, some of these poets, feisty feminists, dreamers, anti-money, and even some who are very self-defecating about themselves. And then there's the literary, learned allusion lot, and some who've got their eye on eternity, that's what, and others who rub too much turps on the **** of their imagination. But it's the long-winded poets who make me squirm, and for god’s sake, give me a bottle of red wine when the ones with blue-rinse hair get up to have their turn. They're terribly nice, but they need an echidna stuffed right up you know where - at least once, if not twice. And give me another bottle of the red, even if it's rough, or better still a whole case of that stuff, just to protect me from those who bleed too much in poems. Psychoanalytic stuff makes me paralytic and I have to stifle groans. But most of all, I like the poets with their tongues on fire, the ones who lick lightening before they write and who throw a sizzling poem down like a thunderbolt from Zeus. I like poems marsh mellow soft and bitter-sweet, too, and those oozing with the juice. And if a poem's loud and flash, so what? I like a bit of swagger, with shameless **** and *** And sometimes, I just like words that rhyme with licorice, Dionysius, Priapus, Bacchus and preposterous! Also, what the **** a poem can even give offense. Poets sometimes need to do this to stop indifference. They call this poet's license, but really, indifference is the only hell from which us poets need deliverance.

Bring me wine, but wine which never grew In the belly of the grape, Or grew on vine whose tap-roots, reaching through Under the Andes to the Cape, Suffer no savor of the earth to scape. Let its grapes the morn salute From a nocturnal root, Which feels the acrid juice Of Styx and Erebus; And turns the woe of Night, By its own craft, to a more rich delight. We buy ashes for bread; We buy diluted wine; Give me of the true, Whose ample leaves and tendrils curled Among the silver hills of heaven Draw everlasting dew; Wine of wine, Blood of the world, Form of forms, and mold of statures, That I intoxicated, And by the draught assimilated, May float at pleasure through all natures; The bird-language rightly spell, And that which roses say so well. Wine that is shed Like the torrents of the sun Up the horizon walls, Or like the Atlantic streams, which run When the South Sea calls. Water and bread, Food which needs no transmuting, Rainbow-flowering, wisdom-fruiting, Wine which is already man, Food which teach and reason can. Wine which Music is, Music and wine are one, That I, drinking this, Shall hear far Chaos talk with me; Kings unborn shall walk with me; And the poor grass shall plot and plan What it will do when it is man. Quickened so, will I unlock Every crypt of every rock. I thank the joyful juice For all I know; Winds of remembering Of the ancient being blow, And seeming-solid walls of use Open and flow. Pour, Bacchus! the remembering wine; Retrieve the loss of men and mine! Vine for vine be antidote, And the grape requite the lote! Haste to cure the old despair, Reason in Nature's lotus drenched, The memory of ages quenched; Give them again to shine; A dazzling memory revive; Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures with the pen Which on the first day drew, Upon the tablets blue, The dancing Pleiads and eternal men.

At Freyja's Table
It’s not much, I mean, but uh, nothing, sorry, man I got butterfingers slippery as my tongue, here did you drop something, are you sure? cause my thump-thumping heart dropped so hard to the floor when it knew you were near that it bounced right back up right where it goes, then straight out my crown chakra, only to dissipate and erupt into Truth the literal and the metaphorical allegorical nebulas that resonate in full high-definition colour the way all Nine symphonies played simultaneously would look sedimentary, like a cheesecake when I first saw you, something shifted in my horoscope with the same scope and scale of a modern Greek myth – Prometheus rising, fire in the eyes of one woman, that’s all all Aphrodite could gather up—fix it to the mainstay, Odysseus let’s get to it, in siren seas, eating weeds to survive if there’s nothing left when Cthulu comes alive, I hope at least I’ll get to talk to you at a party like, once, where we’ll mix some more mythologies Once Inana birthed the world, and Spider Woman showed her how I could show you how Saraswati makes music, and old Bacchus stays on his feet Care to play my Isis? If that makes me Osiris then drown me, chop me up. Throw my body to Mr. Lucifer; the Morrigan will come to inspect your **** and finding it satisfactory will whisk you away somewhere better How’s that last part sound to you, eh? there’s not much left to waste in the techno age of “nothing in moderation,” with all our degradation, defamation, discrimination, and mild inflammation caused by nonspecific anxiety medications in our nation of constant false elation, so my point is time the one thing we got left to waste is time, and I’m a dedicated pacifist, but I wouldn’t mind killing some of that, with you Let’s blow this pop stand and go hunting.

it would have happened by chance that Sigmund encountered Harry Houdini; both infamous Ashkanazim intellects, Freud expounds his theories to a sleepy & restless Houdini; Freud seeing the renown magician nodding off offers him a hit of coke, which Harry takes grateful & is soon asleep & dreaming of Freud's weird theories of the mind seeing himself as Perseus being guided by Ariadne's line through a complex multilevel space that defies three-dimensional perception; Harry thus finds himself firmly in the camp of the Symbolists, leading to the school of the Surrealists & later, LSD-25 & some of the greatest, most enlightened music of all time; as Dionysus judges the underworld in a long line of judges, from Thoth to Bacchus to Satan

******* at tickling the ivories, at inducing the jet buttons to chortle, say, in a concerto ; but I do strum and flirt with those amazing royal, 88 unrepentant loyal keys for Jupiter and Saturn, for Mars and Neptune, making a blank bland tune for extraterrestrial beings for fun. On the cosmic moors the moon's whirling feet cease for my discordance. What a slurred entrance by F in D major! Only a novice--an amateur. I'm no magnificent pianist, O majestic Mercury. Summon the stars the search to lead for a supreme virtuoso, one of  no incongruent ingenuity like this dilettante--a pseudo music polymath, counsels Thebe. A Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach? Any of the greats scored above, as well as geniuses like David and Handel. Impressario fly! Flee thou away and go get a classic maven. Otherwise sleep there forever at Erebus, never dream of waking up in Eden. Circuitous world stops: strings break off at the Earth's axis-- the Sun's panels pause and darkness' movement begins its own obscure notes to improvise: apace demented melody is released,-- bathos of symphony: tinny wine of concord settles on the lees of discord. Asteroids hooting some ***** calls when into the grand chrysolite chamber-- in her tailor-made blistering gown-- strolls in the coruscating Venus in the sturdy arm of jaundiced Uranus, garbed in his glistening stomacher. Like a ball, all eyes are bouncing hither and thither, up and down, googling and ogling, once more at them leering, gaping at the irreplaceable paintings of da Vinci, Picasso, and Van Gogh cavorting  upon the weightless walls to the romantic performance of Strauss in the palace orchestral of Bacchus.

Innocence traded for Fun, ***** and an easy lay What more is there in life? That's all I want by the end of day I used to be so innocent With good thoughts in my head But now I'd rather **** than sleep When I lie in my bed Carefree laughter given away For carnal pleasures in the night Companions valued in my lust Are tossed away at morning light Intellectual ideas put aside For desires of the flesh And a new girl every night Just to keep things fresh I've buried myself far, far down I don't know how I'll get free And now I'm drowning in my lust With no way out that I can see

Do I splash the pool of Narcissus when I call you nasty names... ...even hog the grapes of Bacchus playing friendly bar-room games? Will I squeeze the **** of Aphordite in my tippler's lecherous way? ...And will I challenge her MIGHTY HERCULES and find i'm in a fix!!!?? For i'll fear of meeting Charon upon the under-river Styx!!!

Yeah, I know all about your people How they worship drunken image How they've exalted you to the status Of a hero, a legend A mythological god Bacchus best buddy You keep good company but swine follow you Different as day and night Yet they all clamor for a good seat They fight and swing fists For a place in the front row For the chance that a stream of gin-soaked spittle might splat on one of their faces a soothing balm a gob of stench and sputum They gather it up They mix it with mud Thicken it into gel and bow down to a snot green idol a pus dripping idol They'll worship it at the foot of the mountain The towering landfill where you've brought them Or they'll bring it to your ceremonies They wave your banner in the air A colorful representation of the Beefeater Proud of their devotion Proud of their status as "The Chosen" Not necessarily Sure Of the WHYS or the WHEREFORES You just seemed to be worth the trouble Worth a laugh to watch you To see you falling down To hear your words of wisdom (True wise words they are, too) Slurred into gibberish You are their man Whose oracles remain silent Lost in a deep dream that swirls through your sleep-dizzy mind Whose glory and honor Fall down From your pulpit In the center of a room full of people 99% of whom see YOU Not as a profit Not as a beatnik Not as a poet Not as a sage Not as a seeker Not as an asgst ridden agnostic No idol No god 99% know exactly What you are

pIANO mAN
Beauty wears the cold breath of death the way a ********* wears a smile. Is this casual brutality a sign of the times? Or have you watched the news in the last 24 hours? The mirror sung a thousand prayers to the God; now felt forsaken with 31 flavours to his love. They pierced your body with their spears of love and hung you up by the hair to dry. You recite your green finch song to the deafness of those above, and they still hold your lace burdened hand to quiet your sorrowful heart. Lay your head upon the pillow as tiredness takes us both as the morning rears its ugly head and the day becomes yours again. Then raise your golden brow to the freedom of Night Angels who know your secret kiss where all desires roam amiss, watch yourself seek for home in the city's barrio's and filth down *** sodden alleys where happiness is spilled. The Centurions of hunger who's empty bellies predict this shift of power. By these shadows of delight you don the mantle of delirium It stretches down to your wrists and grows taut by this slip of Fate your barrier of Morpheus a tattoo by Bacchus a scar tissue kiss of Eros. Your beauty burned like an ember that puckered my skin My love wrote a sonnet in invisible ink. "Goodbye" a silver bullet that is tasteless unlike your kisses. And your finger slipped upon the trigger.

Beauty wears the cold breath of death the way a ********* wears a smile
The clustered, green orbs, glow with juice and lighted sun, The leaves wave in the gentle breeze "welcome" to all, have fun, But seasons ripe for theft and thieves, Who would steal into these nights,           to remove the juiciest of these, Bacchus treasures and treats with perfected age,                   the hope of pouring a glass                   of crystal clear bliss                   could be gone, amiss, by some who would crush the cherished taste, and end this seasons harvest in empty sadness; empty vine, oh the shame, the crime of stealing grapes that belong to another's claim! We have found the answer to our dilemma, "Worry not dear friend, i will be there for you my eyes are ever so watchful, and my bright white wing span will cause even the hardiest mischief maker to turn away, while my tail will beat and chase them from your grounds, God's vineyards your bounty this and every day, until you pick your crop at its best but I have only one humble request, That you save the juiciest single grape for me king of the Dragons, that fly." ©DWE082013 inspiration provided by photo provided by Scott Olson

The Harvest of Grapes is Safe, It is protected by Dragons
In the olden days, the Roman days. Women and men had *** in the farm fields to ensure the crops would be fertile. Drinking wine,  forgetting time,  and reveling in their mortality! Wouldn't that be fun? Bacchus! I smile, turn towards him. He snores.

Bacchus
. Impaled with sunken eyes, hung out to dry in the sun. They crawled up the living crucifix, struggling to be the first to see heavens' gates. Wrapped into submission, Bacchus prepared the crystal wine glasses. His finest hour. Temptation's seed hath scattered. .

~Temptation's Seed
puisque les beuveries sont cruelles, nous nous sommes couchés dans le tombeau de Bacchus mais il ne sait plus respirer & moi non plus, d’ailleurs tous ces anciens tableaux qui me faisaient croire à sa gloire, ne me satisfont plus comme avant leur beauté est devenue banale & je pense aux pétales de la Marguerite

l'effeuillage vicieux
The palm tree and the star,               ...are always found together. The branch and seed of man,              ...bound by some secret tether. All initiates in the mysteries,              ...elicit a truth they find. The palm tree and the star,              ...are not just another sign.

Bacchus
A silken drop nectar refined, Delicious, smooth, it’s taste sublime, Worshipped and revered in times of old, Bacchus it’s God, his hand-maidens bold. The Romans swilled, the Greeks imbibed, The British drank, the French prescribed. The Church just called it Christ’s own blood, Believers flowed as if by flood. This luscious liquid as fine as honey, The fountain not of youth but merely money, Small price to pay for so much fun, When it can turn a dowdy day to sun. Clinking glasses moments shared, The more imbibed the more is bared, Food important or so they claim, When as a smokescreen its main aim. All that said let me be clear There’s a reason we choose wine not beer, Wine is healthy, helps the heart, Beer is fattening and so ****

Luscious Wine
Feel Me,an emotion deep inside your heart, a meadow's  wild white  simple  daisy, reincarnated in a soft crimson rose, a scarlet heart of velvet petals, birthed in embroided silk of mystique passion. A bacchus of wine filled with perfumed aroma, in  a vineyard of  fragrant thoughts of you. Feel Me,as i come in your night,a soft gentle wind , whisperin through your window,caressin your face, kissin your cheeks,breathin you in sweetest dreams, takin you in a garden,to a  lake, where swans pirhouette, as we lie  down  on  a mattress of golden threaded  leaves. Feel Me,as we ride,on the open wings of love and fantasies, Hold me ,as i get lost in you and you get lost in me, as you drink the nectar of my cherry red lips, as we kiss,a moist and warm  wet  kiss. Feel Me,in the fresh liquid raindrops,patterin, cleansing your worries away,as i pat your back, as we walk in the park,as we talk,as I listen and understand, as  we giggle,holdin hands ,sittin on our favourite  wooden bench, under yesterday's lanternes of hundred dancing fire-flies. Feel me,as we lay on the sand,gazing in each other's eyes, cheered by tamed silver waves,watching the stars Hugging below a universe of  black ebony skies. Feel me,as i dip my brush in finest oils,and paint a path of coloured rainbows,where we can find each other once again, a path where we can dream,where we can live and love, where we will never be apart or scent the absence once again. Feel me,in  the candle burning never ending flames of passion, a young lady,so deeply in love with you,Can you feel me? My Beloved,Mon amour,Can you feel the touch of me?
