"furies" poems
O'er the midnight moorlands crying, Thro' the cypress forests sighing, In the night-wind madly flying, Hellish forms with streaming hair; In the barren branches creaking, By the stagnant swamp-pools speaking, Past the shore-cliffs ever shrieking, Damn'd demons of despair. Once, I think I half remember, Ere the grey skies of November Quench'd my youth's aspiring ember, Liv'd there such a thing as bliss; Skies that now are dark were beaming, Bold and azure, splendid seeming Till I learn'd it all was dreaming — Deadly drowsiness of Dis. But the stream of Time, swift flowing, Brings the torment of half-knowing — Dimly rushing, blindly going Past the never-trodden lea; And the voyager, repining, Sees the wicked death-fires shining, Hears the wicked petrel's whining As he helpless drifts to sea. Evil wings in ether beating; Vultures at the spirit eating; Things unseen forever fleeting Black against the leering sky. Ghastly shades of bygone gladness, Clawing fiends of future sadness, Mingle in a cloud of madness Ever on the soul to lie. Thus the living, lone and sobbing, In the throes of anguish throbbing, With the loathsome Furies robbing Night and noon of peace and rest. But beyond the groans and grating Of abhorrent Life, is waiting Sweet Oblivion, culminating All the years of fruitless quest.

Despair
Do you remember how you stood there ? When the sun had set and the afterglow started to fade, you stood proud, slightly upon the dusk, brilliantly, majestically yet so tiny, You looked so lonely and helpless, as light faded into darkness, Covering the world; a sweet blanket filled with many twinkling stars, How impossible it seems to turn back, have you realized how you changed so drastically, my little sparkling friend over such little time? Irrational the things hidden away by the night, no moon comes to rise If you would realise, how this world really is, or the place you are being led, softly, gently, elegantly to stand would be like, what then ? Have you changed because, you calmly, without having any knowledge fear the night and it's lingering, loitering darkness ? The night is stained with illusions, keep your gaze up to the sky and follow another star, then surely you would be able to reach your goal, When you engage in pure furies, the whereabouts of the heart remain undetermined, you just lose yourself within its wandering fragrance, Because the world you had taken for granted collapsed into somber, Collapsed into a dimmer more frightening state of undefined beauty, Everything is far too late, impossible to return now, it has been decided that it maybe should have been so, a loitering darkness to be, You are part of this world now, standing where you are don't you think that this sky, slumbering earth is as allure as nothing else ? If it awakens your wish will become true and you will disappear by the sight of the daybreak, the sun takes over with her golden light, The world you have forgotten will reappear then everything starts a new and maybe one day you too will understand, my dearest, That the night is something very beautiful. ~ Umi

O Great Goddess I Your true worshiper Crawl before your altar To beseech you Grant this poor Suffering soul Even a moments relief From the crushing weight Of this great love Its sweet agony The crippling despair All melded into one great mass of feeling O merciful Olympian Great passionate Goddess Provide succor To this lost and wand'ring devotee A glimmer of hope To tether my soul And keep the Furies at bay In the same way You granted Pygmalion's request And brought to life His marvelous statue Galatea Answer my desperate supplication Goddess of Beauty I offer my self to you I shall strive to restore Your true worship In this cursed world That has forsaken the true gods I shall bring whatever sacrifices you require If only you grant me this boon Quench a dying man's thirst Bring me up from Pluto's realm And lay me in the Elysian fields Great Goddess Hear my plea As a follower still of your descendant Gaius Julius A follower during his lifetime And a follower ever to this day I always serve your great name O Great Goddess Hear my plea Great and wonderful Goddess Venus.

A Prayer to Venus
Society has good intentions Bureaucracy is like a friend 5 years ago - other furies other losses - America's trying to control the uncontrollable Forest fires, Vice The essential smile In the essential sleep Of the children Of the essential mind I'm all thru playing the American Now I'm going to live a good quiet life The world should be built for foot walkers Oily rivers Of spiney Nevady I am Jake Cake Rake Write like Blake The horse is not pleased Sight of his gorgeous finery in the dust Its silken nostrils did disgust Cats arent kind Kiddies anent sweet April in Nevada - Investigating Dismal Cheyenne Where the war parties In fields of straw Aimed over oxen At Indian Chiefs In wild headdress Pouring thru the gap In Wyoming plain To make the settlers Eat more dust than dust was eaten In the States From East at Seacoast Where wagons made up To dreadful Plains Of clazer vup Saltry settlers Anxious to ********** The Mongol Sea (I'm too tired in Cheyenne - No sleep in 4 nights now, & 2 to go)

To my mortal enemy, All lies and delusions you have carried so far are all but for nothing, Deceiving you took from me what was a part of my fading heart once. You are the only one I will never forgive, not until the night has been swallowed by the abyss and the sun is no longer rising in this hell. What was the purpose of your selfish doing ? Was it greed or lust ? Purified from all emotions but fury, I will let this fire rampage forever The soul resented by life, creeps around in the somber fields, Can you see it ? Of course your ignorant eyes haven't grasped the single truth yet, you cannot see anything, so keep wandering blindly, Aimless and with displeasure we shall meet in the distorted dark, I got even rid of the love in my chest, so that I may awaken as who I am now..if by chance I were to forgive you, could I be myself again ? No! I don't want you to rest in your deepest sleep, I will show you the same nightmares until your dried tears turn into elusive blood. George your amusement and be ruined, someday you will repay, So be as it may, my courtesy must remain, I offer you my darkest passion, until you reveal that sweet soul of yours that dies. Hey, are you watching ? Yours truly, Pure Furies ~ Umi

Are you Watching ?
One scarlet tear, makes it clear which drops from her cheek to the ground which burns away as acid, toxic, became lifeless in an instant Emotions of any kind, are to ruin ones mind, ones soul from something more beautiful, clean and without any malicious intent, Ruining what's best in us, corrupting inner peace with disturbance, Free from bonds or feelings one would live alike the the moon; Elusive, with a cycle which turns and decides to recycles once again, But what would be a life, free from the trouble of emotions, heartache pain and agaony, happiness and glee with experiencess worth more than a soul could ask for, wish to be repeated, forming what is YOU, Would it be a curse ? A blessing ? Would it be wise to purify onesself, All these questions remain unanswered, as the world spirals it's transient, lifely joyful axis around our golden shining star, the sun, Purity comes sinfree, cut from temptations of every meaningful term, Then it would mean to give up anything, everything in solace, simply to remain free from an act or even a thought of unrighteousness, Empathy would be lost in a purgatory of pure furies which knows no heart, or mercy for this matter, a life spend alone is an answer to this, Oh servant, will you burn away like the flower in the heat of summer by achieving this purity you strive for just to call yourself better ? After all, the joy of emotions is for all to experience After all the love of light is for all to bear ~ Umi

Refinement of Impurity
Up and lead the dance of Fate! Lift the song that mortals hate! Tell what rights are ours on earth, Over all of human birth. Swift of foot to avenge are we! He whose hands are clean and pure, Naught our wrath to dread hath he; Calm his cloudless days endure. But the man that seeks to hide Like him (1), his gore-bedewèd hands, Witnesses to them that died, The blood avengers at his side, The Furies' troop forever stands. O'er our victim come begin! Come, the incantation sing, Frantic all and maddening, To the heart a brand of fire, The Furies' hymn, That which claims the senses dim, Tuneless to the gentle lyre, Withering the soul within. The pride of all of human birth, All glorious in the eye of day, Dishonored slowly melts away, Trod down and trampled to the earth, Whene'er our dark-stoled troop advances, Whene'er our feet lead on the dismal dances. For light our footsteps are, And perfect is our might, Awful remembrances of guilt and crime, Implacable to mortal prayer, Far from the gods, unhonored, and heaven's light, We hold our voiceless dwellings dread, All unapproached by living or by dead. What mortal feels not awe, Nor trembles at our name, Hearing our fate-appointed power sublime, Fixed by the eternal law. For old our office, and our fame, Might never yet of its due honors fail, Though 'neath the earth our realm in unsunned regions pale.

Song Of The Furies
I cannot recall you gentle yet through your heavy love I have become an image of your once delicate flesh split with deceitful longings. When strangers come and compliment me your aged spirit takes a bow jingling with pride but once you hid that secret in the center of furies hanging me with deep ******* and wiry hair with your own split flesh and long suffering eyes buried in myths of little worth. But I have peeled away your anger down to the core of love and look mother I Am a dark temple where your true spirit rises beautiful and tough as chestnut stanchion against your nightmare of weakness and if eyes conceal a squadron of conflicting rebellions I learned from you to define myself through your denials audre lorde

Black Mother Woman
Through portico of my elegant house you stalk With your wild furies, disturbing garlands of fruit And the fabulous lutes and peacocks, rending the net Of all decorum which holds the whirlwind back. Now, rich order of walls is fallen; rooks croak Above the appalling ruin; in bleak light Of your stormy eye, magic takes flight Like a daunted witch, quitting castle when real days break. Fractured pillars frame prospects of rock; While you stand heroic in coat and tie, I sit Composed in Grecian tunic and psyche-knot, Rooted to your black look, the play turned tragic: Which such blight wrought on our bankrupt estate, What ceremony of words can patch the havoc?

Conversation Among The Ruins
A mirror. Reflect, unconditionally, the glory of all But never radiate one's own splendor A shell. Provider, protector Submitted to the furies; ever a refuge, never a refugee A utensil. Mere instrument, to be used and used With no other use A shoe. Worn in and around And replaced when the toll is apparent A secret. Put it out there, do But keep knowledgeable to a close few A kettle. Boiling away on someone's behalf Soon to be dismissed as a maker of shrill screams and hot air A woman. Charitable to inane ideals When all that defines her is contrary

Objectification
So sell your daughters **** your sons Go break your spoken Vows in tongues For from these lungs I storm the loudest As my furies   Muse the proudest Wings endowed with shrouds of Nyx Baptized within the River Styx So wage petty crusades And feel Titanic wrath’s Achilles heel For in this heart   My lust will claim Entire Gaea’s Set aflame By bolts of my creative spark Be sure, I’ve never missed my mark So bend your knees And cross your hearts And mutilate Your private parts For by these hands The story spun The sickle swung And shed my young And led them to the glory sung Henceforth until the Fates are done

Zeus the Inimitable
Opening a book, page one opens and I now reawake. Leaving for adventures sake, where fantastical creatures awake. Legendary battles they will partake, epic stories, they will make. A great king will rise to power, yet he will fake, now the lives of his people, he will forsake. Their furies and frustrations, will oscillate, like a rattlesnake, As the king sits upon his throne, realizing his mistake. Oh, now he will leave behind a terrible wake, as he will be cooked upon the stake. Along with the witch he turned into a hotcake. Oh, what a fate, the king surely must hate. As he burns to a flake, falling to be scooped by a rake. I must now put on the brake, as it is getting late, and into another day this story I must take.

We Hopscotch The Bonnets And Glue Ravenous Bumblebees To A Blanket Of Snow
On an ebony bed decorated with coral eagles, sound asleep lies Nero --- unconscious, quiet, and blissful; thriving in the vigor of flesh, and in the splendid power of youth. But in the alabaster hall that encloses the ancient shrine of the Aenobarbi how restive are his Lares. The little household gods tremble, and try to hide their insignificant bodies. For they heard a horrible clamor, a deathly clamor ascending the stairs, iron footsteps rattling the stairs. And now in a faint the miserable Lares, burrow in the depth of the shrine, one tumbles and stumbles upon the other, one little god falls over the other for they understand what sort of clamor this is, they are already feeling the footsteps of the Furies.

Footsteps
It's always a criminal time to fight/ To fizz away our furies and our fears in violent interactions within 'The Warrior Play'/ To unite in bouts/ Put personalities in liberty/ Releases to bring about the death reaction Untangled in all this Is an eye/ a void/ It paces and turns forgetful and lost ; a powerless ghost and a witness to these mad spoilings and energy fits/ This pinball of the battlefield is catalyst ; The untouched spirit of the weapon-head/ a war chime and the thirst of all of us 'soldiers'                  - in pattern & in population

War Chime
blunt tips of bent cigarettes were incisive as razors - sliced wrists weeping bright red sentences, spattered unborn to blank paper and turned into statues so the dead would always remember what they did, never safe in the graves in which they'd took refuge but blue on blue was ever her color; blue on blues seeping from old sins, deep, hidden within spidery veins that traced pale, soft ******* finally filling mute lips as she slept, subsumed in oceans of color, blues that gave stories, as waves to shore subsided, reclaiming their pain, and cleansed sand once more What end to life! a collection of furies like stone turtles arranged on the mantle - just a few dozen last words tucked among ads for Old Spice and Polident tabs unread, used to line litter boxes in Cambridge or wrap fresh fish at Hay Market; then, someone pausing to wave at the sky missed saving the drowning woman by years, if he'd tried, finding questions in every answer; child curled in hard lap of his mother, her cold affections of words blew from dead lips like old wishes without tender touch or wet kisses; but that life continued, if lived only blue on blue

Elegy for Annie
In the hour of my distress, When temptations me oppress, And when I my sins confess, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When I lie within my bed, Sick in heart and sick in head, And with doubts discomforted, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the house doth sigh and weep, And the world is drown’d in sleep, Yet mine eyes the watch do keep, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the passing bell doth toll, And the Furies in a shoal Come to fright a parting soul, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the tapers now burn blue, And the comforters are few, And that number more than true, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the priest his last hath pray’d, And I nod to what is said, ‘Cause my speech is now decay’d, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When, God knows, I’m toss’d about Either with despair or doubt; Yet before the glass be out, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the tempter me pursu’th With the sins of all my youth, And half damns me with untruth, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the flames and hellish cries Fright mine ears and fright mine eyes, And all terrors me surprise, Sweet Spirit, comfort me! When the Judgment is reveal’d, And that open’d which was seal’d, When to Thee I have appeal’d, Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

Litany To The Holy Spirit
Spanish Su idilio fue una larga sonrisa a cuatro labios… En el regazo cálido de rubia primavera Amáronse talmente que entre sus dedos sabios Palpitó la divina forma de la Quimera. En los palacios fúlgidos de las tardes en calma Hablábanse un lenguaje sentido como un lloro, Y se besaban hondo hasta morderse el alma!… Las horas deshojáronse como flores de oro, Y el Destino interpuso sus dos manos heladas… Ah! los cuerpos cedieron, mas las almas trenzadas Son el más intrincado nudo que nunca fue… En lucha con sus locos enredos sobrehumanos Las Furias de la vida se rompieron las manos Y fatigó sus dedos supremos Ananké… English Their idyll was a smile of four lips… In the warm lap of blond spring They loved such that between their wise fingers the divine form of Chimera trembled. In the glimmering palaces of quiet afternoons They spoke in a language heartfelt as weeping, And they kissed each other deeply, biting the soul! The hours fluttered away like petals of gold, Then Fate interposed its two icy hands… Ah! the bodies yielded, but tangled souls Are the most intricate knot that never unfolds… In strife with its mad superhuman entanglements, Life’s Furies rent their coupled hands And wearied your powerful fingers, Ananké*… *Ananké: Goddess (Greek) of Unalterable Necessity

El Nudo (The Knot)
IN THE POOL OF THE LOST MAIDEN SONG                 1 Down in the shrouded wood a wanderer walks And dreams the dreamers story he has lived. Sidled by the stream that sheds blue waters By the beds, trailing the rail of loves unknown Kiss and a voice that conjures truest bliss, Down in the drink where sweet Ophelia sleeps; In the pool of the lost maiden song. And the dreamer, he is dreaming . . . Hair, that ropes the stoic man upon his mount. Hair, making souls’ lost ending breath a shout, And hair that weighs the wind, teaches it to sing; Hair, wending whirlpools waving fools to dive in.                 2 Lost at land’s end the sea lions, washed-up, wail And buzzards coast where eagles flail, rip tides Assail and chop the collected bones they drop; It is a chalky bone-yard break, golden escarpments Wake and a seamen’s salty sermons shake; Where gathering ghosts glom and chide steeping, In the pool of the lost maiden song. And the seeker, he is seeking . . . Eyes that turn the sands and are mirrors, Eyes that taught the books of Alexandria, Eyes that shook the flesh and are seers, Eyes that lit the pyres, burned true believers.                 3 Deep in the dark wood the waters rush, hush, Cramp, crew and creep, melodiously tread, Trammel, and burn as furies in keeping true The melting moon, the onerous owl, fluttering Things, muttering wings, cones in darkness Flings and filmy time flicks by the wayside; In the pool of the lost maiden song. And the lover, he is longing . . . Love, lithe and lyric, he sees your sweeping shapes. Peace, parsed and pained he hears the voicing gape. Blind, bliss’d and shamed he wears the votive drapes. Hungered, thirsted and gone; seeks your pearly gate.                 4 Out in the forest maze the jarring sun seeps And swirls, only to roust the traveler onward Where soon he must meet the faces in the grotto Down in destroyed lands by the seas’ unreasoning Chime, deep in the dark whine of the shining mermaids, Where the doomed cry, round the navel of the world, In the pool of the lost maiden song. And the doomed, they are crying . . . ****** beauty bade us, in a star crossed chrysalis, Made us, choose a desert’s winter of loneliness. Heed our fate and leave this valley torn of bliss; The many millions of locust fall in ripest fields.”

A quick right turn is accompanied by a shiver Which just might balance the quivering intestines. It is best friends, it is best friends…if we Keep our eyes focused on the same horizon, The locus is only half forward, half circled, And it’s almost as if this river is natural.. It’s almost as if it’s course was cut before it’s spring was opened. The salmon drive stealthy…relentless to the pressure, Thinking that in conflict there might emerge something fresher, Fresher than telephone calls with Alice As she faced the looking glass Or the crass manner of reaching for An always-empty chalice. But the shiver in itself was enough to explain his expectations And the gaze of something greater gave him visions of creation Shelter from the storm Her silhouette has him splintered Splintered in hope and doubt that the fates beat the furies

A Quick Right Turn
You enchanted the moon, didn't you? Maybe you promised her a star or two? She hunts me with Orion's bow, pacing behind shadowed cloud, My celestial stalker ridin' low, wanly wrapped in misty shroud. She whispers stark, yet soft as a breeze-blown tune, Press on, my pet. You've done so well, we'll sleep again soon. But we've a fortnight to go if we're to come full circle by month's end. So many dreams still to sow...To reap those lupine howls once again. Serenity to insanity, delirious depravity to moon-magicked majesty, A cosmic clockwork cycle muddling my mind with lunar gravity. She pushes me to frenetic furies then pulls me to solstice solace, She masters tides in her caprice, what hope has a malcontent apprentice?

Lunatic Flux
Hair as black as nightshade’s bloom Eyes cold sapphires set in a face of stone Skin, milky pale, cheeks diamond white, Heart as dark as darkest night Words of honey laced with hemlock Venom so sweet but alas so deadly Beautiful rose, poisonous thorns The devil with hidden horns Bloodied hand, murdered dreams She dares lay sleep to sleep Slashed hearts, tattered souls Broken is the most sacred of vows Never to sleep, never to rest Never to drift off in peace For thou hast put to death Thine sleep Thou shalt not know oblivion’s deep And if you sink beneath slumber’s waves Then hell awaits there-in To haunt and torture To hack as you stray Into that world each day In sleep your dreams will haunt and chase A-wandering you’ll try to run away Demons of Hades devils of Seth Haunt and torture Lady Macbeth So arise ye furies avengers of blood And hasten to punish this sin For the ****** of sleep The killing of a king Hades fire upon their souls shall bring

Ode to a Murderess
What is it to be free in an unfree world? Madness, as the only escape, is what I have chosen. Madness in the sense of unrest, Disavowal of the properties proscribing my actions I smoke and drink to put off life to ensnare nothingness with breath and feel contingency take its hold on me I want wine, furies and song to be my epitaph and grasp at meaninglessness with two sweaty palms I am not comfortable and never shall be with this notion of decidedness and squalor of the mind yet it is I I know little of the great works and can hardly hold a pencil This is where I meet myself, a worker, unfit for labor exposed to existentialism and sick I shudder, alone forever Good things given to and wasted on me I am death encapsulated
