"intemperance" poems
Saturated in steely blue clutches, sweating from the 75 degree Georgia night strung up and washed out with a serpent woman that keeps bringing on the blight Singing you a song of bliss and blinders. A big brick red boot on your neck and a green collar that reads The Gardens ***** The Garden takes the taxes tightens up the lead and never relaxes Hit ya where ya like, the pain is disguised, leather tastes like candy, The Gardens got ya hypnotized. Your late night camping sight attracts the moon light parasite, that acolyte of appetite, Tonight your the Gardens Delight You wanna run but she's got those hooks between your shoulder blades feeling like an inexorable **** of silk, smoke and skin. She gives you every thing you need, Fountain heads of intemperance and black out nights Whole streets smelling like grease and charcoal charbroils Men and women of dexterous lechery, feverous severance, and generous deference Crystals for your cranium, high altitude dives and the lowest lows. A cacophony of any entertainment you might want or need, just as long as its seedy. The Garden keeps blinders on your head to make sure you can't see anything she doesn't want you to. Try to remove em and the punishment is usually severe. She might give you the greatest loves you've ever known and turn em to photographs, blot em with LSD and trip you out on memories. And when you come back to what you think reality is she'll take those photographs and burn em up right in your face and leave you asking if any of it really happened while feeling like it was the realest thing that ever has. She'll break you and build you up, build you up and break you worse. A cycle of bad things feeling real good. The Garden will do everything in her power to keep you right here. But if you can get all those straps and tight leather off, all those hooks and chains.. If you can escape her steely blue clutches,, You'll finally see how wrong you've been done, and your still gonna want her back in some strange way.. but you might start to heal.... But know this. No matter where you might run off to, You'll still be hearing The Garden City call. That siren song of bliss and blinders.

1753 Through those old Grounds of memory, The sauntering alone Is a divine intemperance A prudent man would shun. Of liquors that are vended ’Tis easy to beware But statutes do not meddle With the internal bar. Pernicious as the sunset Permitting to pursue But impotent to gather, The tranquil perfidy Alloys our firmer moments With that severest gold Convenient to the longing But otherwise withheld.

Through those old Grounds of memory
raise the glass high high high and press hard high, a blue and cherry ring round rosy thigh, snapped red sting of infected eye and tooth strung on string. broken wing crunches, candid cries let tears fly in desperate persecution. red sticky red and beautiful flesh-fly's food becomes a diamond wing, flying in swirling skies of glitter. The world looks better through a kaleidoscope. claw the eyes out out out and spit stress out, a crooked view on nose and cheeks and pout deep blue rows on distended snout as swollen skin grows. drunken woes crunch and broken knuckles shout in hasty intemperance. blue puffy blue and beautiful deep stout bruises becomes a diamond glow spinning in burst vein's woes of glitter. The world looks better through a kaleidoscope. dump the body down down down and pat dirt down, a stealthy sin of spite and muddy frown, **** green sight of a ***** crown hidden in the night. swirls of light break thoughts up to run around in crude decomposition. green sickly green and beautiful dirt-drowned flesh becomes diamond sprites, dancing in wormy gowns of glitter. The world looks better through a kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope
1568 To see her is a Picture— To hear her is a Tune— To know her an Intemperance As innocent as June— To know her not—Affliction— To own her for a Friend A warmth as near as if the Sun Were shining in your Hand.

To see her is a Picture—
I am what I am. The wavering question mark at the end of the nervous inquiry. I am the final drops of dandelion wine that grace your monstrous lips as you scream at me for being empty. I am the first drag of your cigarette as you blame the stars for your twisted fate. I am the silence after the collision of your fist to my cheek, the stinging of my eyes and red stained skin promising not to fade until the morning after. I am the sunflowers you left on her grave last winter, long forgotten by both you and time. I am manic love and screaming intemperance. The final burst of carelessness as you run to the cliff’s edge in an attempt to mimic Icarus. I am the intrinsic bleeding of burning star-crossed losers. I am a universe of exploding stars, unanswered questions, and questionable prayers. I am the throw of a ticking clock at five am after hours of restless insomnia. I am going 90 on the freeway at midnight with the music just as volatile. I am the shudder of anticipation. The relentless ache for more. I am Jane Doe. I am oblivion. I am freedom. I am what I am.

identity.
I foster an incremental relation to the cosmos, enticed regularly by its indefiniteness and appeal. Its evolutions, innate behaviors, and formidable sciences are recompense for earth’s meager discrepancies. I often engage in the caprice to dismount much dissatisfaction by the constancy of riveting celestial events. These beings possess no artificiality. Its prophetic order, ornate and stupendous architectural facets have allowed a crescendo of dispositional hysteria. Prosaic imprecations are deduced from its auxiliary wherewithal. There is no contrition in immersing in enthrallment nor is there fickleness in trust. Magnificent bodies orbit in finesse and probability, achieving universality and control. Though these incitements are exponentially cheering, my origin is but connoted in despondency. Usurpers and ill-suited vandals proliferated by the intemperance of the Ptolemaic discipline. Rustics, miscreants and idle minds misdirected by less virtuous planetary derision. My cognitive severity asserted by ominous consummation. Oh how these preponderant truths confine me unfortunate. Soliloquy is but an affliction amidst this era of anachronistic reign. Grandiose passivity is intolerable at this time. I plan to dichotomize my adamant fate from precepts and conditions anew. The deposition of malfeasant kings will be sought. Ploys I have already configured; propagation is near to instigation. I will exhort my ascent to prime eminence. The stars will sanction me to a rightful end.

His topper reflected prisms, And hair burned under his moon glance, How ephemeral was midnight, Darkness dressing my hair in stars, His smile the light spill from a broken moon, A claret glass bursting with blood skies, His plumage exodus stealth netherworld , Trithing shards in flamed heat, Black salt pastes orinein wounds, Kirk yard elementals despoil spirits of all hell, Strix cackle, taunt on nightly transvections, A viridescent sadness wakes alone. Saudade no seasons doth befall, Trapped in concupiscence darkest tale void of intemperance ── Clad in loves spectural crown Arnay Rumens © 12/ 2014

Spectural Crown of Love
Arbitrarily flung to instants of moment Scattered free in the gleam of the eye, Cast with abandon to scattergun’s chances The wondrous pearls, I’ve occasioned to fly. Together with detritus maudlin to moribund, Together robustness’s wrongness in rouge, This crimson lusting with anger’s green jealousy In scattered intemperance now fawning to rude. Spindrifts of coarse-ness in calico fabric Flooding of richness and redness in heat, Shadings of blue in palaegic intemperance Now flung to eruptions of laughter complete.

A Blink in the Pink.
is it too much of an onomatopoeic dissonance that this is synonymous to    regret dubbed as slouched nirvana. Across the bonfire, there’s volition    as glare, light as judgment. Why they call her Luningning, I know not.       Take excess for jaunts and flesh, and pay no heed to illusions. The mirage   on the wall is but fire-dance on the bitten lip of true company.                     heady static pierces pinecone. Soon the moon will sink like **** to **** Or felled star as tripled glaze of salted lip. Or the ****** of the butterfly.      Are we here to metamorphose these tiny susurrations into a commune?                      Dank and stale as piss-laced pavement, the whole world now     spires in uneven strobes. The last song on the karaoke as memory. The knead       of temperamental air on the scalp. Take pork rind for bread, intemperance     as tribute. The night dons its silken robe and shows her pair: two moony eyes                piercing the noise.

Luningning
I crave the decadence for what I cannot contain, For my body yearns for something more than I am, Tiresome it is of lacking, It cannot remain to run in solitude, Unfulfilled in a world of intemperance, Begging for something more than what is offered. No longer do I fear the feeling of an inescapable presence of emptiness, Fulfillment is ever accompanying me in excess as I bumble throughout the harshness of reality, Surplus has been said to greet one disguised as comfort, Shrouded in an escape from cruelty Yet never do I feel incomplete as the mentions for more adorn my mouth, Not as a request, But a demand.

GLUTTONY
Golden-canopied fires of a due sun's rising... know which veils must part as eyelids. A light brought out by light beyond fire's intemperance...places the dreamer's dream upon that very effulgent happening.

Beaten and Shot
Nowhere whencesoever in the ever distant hebridges The seagulls savour the eternal sea The sea's intemperance rolls in the mighty waves The shallow waters crystallise into divinity The sands of immortal indelible imprints Never ever quench the thirst The imbalanced boats I board In the cascading autumn twilight Everyday... In a long peaceful hybernation Whencesoever the seagulls ..in the ever distant hebridges The shallow waters and the sands Would never ever invite me further.. I would've  lost my recognition..

Lost..
TRIGGER WARNING: CONTENT PERTAINS TO DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE Little demons bounce around in your skull, screaming obscenities and those same old revelations. All the while, the strange sounds of "you're fine," "you're nice," "you're not that bad," "you’re not evil,” gets replayed out of their mouths again. As if they know your sins. That never-ending winter you are freezing in. If only they knew, but you’ll never tell them. You'd die first. And more and more that looks like the optimal choice. Your demise a voice for this injustice, finally putting down that mad dog robbing all of them of a peaceful existence. Why should such a savage exist? So you can spread your disgusting penitence with warm and oh so bold and colorful poetics? Why not just end it? Instead you feed it like the coward you are, the typical evil piece of **** that rips up hearts and leaves them to the wolves. And no one knows, and no one will care, if you are not the same as you were back then. This redemption is an illusion you fool around with to cool your intemperance, as useless as your pathetic attempts at some rehabilitation, and if you were honest you'd accept that your suffering is warranted. So go meet your end, you ******* sick depressing **** before you get selfish again and ruin another beautiful person.

National Depression Screening Day (OCTOBER 11th)
Urban domestication via discarded excess from a world of intemperance. Deprived of McDonates, Darwinian crows are invading seed sanctuary's. I am watching the evolution of demise in our vegetable garden. Carnivorous colonisation of herbivores. Genus Corvus aggressively preying on the pedestals of suspended bird baskets. Survival of the fattest. Covid is a cracked mirror putting life in a perspective, not previously postured.
