"lithosphere" poems
if the god of impulse and
furious fire decides to strike our
planets with etherial combustion,
then let us bathe each other in
plasma, let us crack like red glass
into madness, let us mine deep into
our lungs for oxygen and tie our wrists
tight with the bonds, proud, covalent,
bursting forth, so exothermic that
the molten waves submerge us.
we are not two animals who have succumb to
the embers of electromagnetism. we are plates in
the lithosphere who have built infernal mountains
across the ocean floor, millennia of melting together
atop the blazing peaks.

Feel the chains change in me tonight
Condense me to evaporate in want
The long of a bounce to another world
Light the fire to burn deep and fervour
A belly roasts in repetitive embers flushes
Hearts tied connate as the essence flashes
A tangle ribboned to last after the dawn
Testify as our sparks infinitely ignite dances
Titaniums of our tectonic plates merge motions
A convergence entwined in bordered emotions
Link me in the convections of transformations
Conversations of a lasting warm benevolence
Paradisiacal chum of a past in resonance
A photographic collection of a lived long life
Unwrap the snare, unwind the erased tapes
Lay back as we hide away behind the moonlight

The moon is staring me in the face
Shaded in grey, slowly fading away
Barely paving the way
to the edge of the fray.
Whispers of intrigue control the iris
Repeated patterns within blue beauty
Triangles that sparkle like a diamond
around a dense, black circle
That leads to the cortex of insight.
It looks like that of a galaxy
Filled with mystical images of life;
Where night is day and day is night.
Meteor showers litter the sky,
tears of joy fall to a puddle of pride
As earth collides with a great divide.
Right through the center;
from the lithosphere to the core
Pain on the outside is ramified on the inside
And I’d be ****** if I said it isn’t a beautifully
tragic picture
because life isn’t balanced if a good deed
doesn’t contain a malice intent.
Temptation to touch the treasure without consent
is no where near the worth of self-control.
The dare to take a risk is self-imposed,
but the move to play it safe is the lightest of loads.
Would you rather re-paint the rainbow
or find the *** of gold?
Walk a path through the park to feed the pigeons
and a serendipitous encounter with livid pigeons
leaves your empathetic heart frigid.
While a deaf person speaks for the mute
as the mute listen to laughter,
The blind guide those who are struggling
to a gleaming green pasteur.
A mass murderer to the morality of humanity
Commonly senseless people skew
the meaning of integrity,
The soul of the soulless has been released
to be met by the life of persistence.
Positivity’s existence is amplified by tragedy;
Sadly it takes sadness to appreciate
what makes you happy.

frozen fallout shelter housing dried goods and tinder
black bean and rice prepper bent on the end of days
looking first to the sky and then to the government
absorbing radiation and propaganda
faster than organic apple juice can flush the system
triple berry blast yogurt smoothie shakes violently
in hands coated with Lyme and the scent of the non-believers
bodies unburied lead only to disease and discomfort
stench filled landscape harboring mutated mankind
arms outstretched seeking normalcy and edible grains
contaminated meat from damaged cans sits unprotected
thin and frail lithosphere no longer preventing dermal cancer
only encouraging drought and famine while burning retinas and emaciating newborns
procreation as a plan of self-destruction and child-abuse
distant smokestacks, cracked, create a forlorn skyline
instilling visuals from days gone by
of easy life and happy youngsters
before the nuclear discovery

I'm just a lonely fool
Don't know what to say so I act like a tool
though my words speak volumes
my mind speaks in tongues
all tangled up by some tough knots
my ideas are more realistic
always fleeting never staying
being intercepted by themselves
my mind ravishes ghouls
and explores the emptiness within
taken back by thy hollowed self
Earth only with one layer
Lithosphere but no juicy center
a lollipop with only a crusty beginning
body without heart only mind
depth like an ocean
never ending like the space above
pointless with no one exploring
breaking open barriers only to find fiends
through the looking glass all is bright
the eyes seek redemption and explanation
but they're Romeo and Juliet
can't see each other
Caves without torches hides the secrets of old
and only the mind can grasp hold
Know nothing want everything
just leave me alone
its what the monsters are best at.

If I had a mountain for every time I thought of you
I would have a mountain range twelve times the size of the Andes,
So long it could wrap around the earth twice
And then some.
A lifetime of plate tectonic ruminations,
The lithosphere colliding where I fell in love with you;
That’s what I would have.
And I could spend another lifetime traversing
All of the ridges and the pinnacles and the icefalls of you.
I would reach every summit and look out
Across the endless expanse of you laid out before me,
And it would be the most spectacular view.
As I traveled through my mountain range
I would make a map because, while I don’t particularly mind
Getting lost in the thought of you,
I would like to be able to find my way back to my favorite places.
But like any good cartographer,
I would include copyright traps -- Things that don’t actually exist;
Valleys and cliffs that only I could have projected --
So that no one else could ever duplicate this.

Where i am
Somewhere on solid lithosphere
everybody seems mad,
viewing the world from an empty plate
yesterday and today can never be the same
about ninety percent of the world is confused,
the more you know the less you understand
you have no clue
pray for the mind's eyes
beauty in perspectives
Semi-rainbow Sedatives
Naked band of thieves
Slender neem twigs
when you see the light
live with it
Wherever you are
don't feel mad

Eternal memory atoms from the atmosphere
Ignited vertically by the forces of nature
Phrases to praise in paradise
An over populated population
Genetic modified body of Christ free in a positive gesture
Pause for a moment and lay on the ley line for the healing features
Ant on a rant
Thus writing style might make your head crack
A humans spare time should be spent evolving
Just another between life and death psychographical entry
These poems are a reflection of my infestation
Alive living with life but on Sundays i can't take it
No profanity please
We have children on here networking
College felt like lithosphere service
Dial up process
Wireless receiver with brain control remote viewing
Caught at the inner section of breathing
Lead to gold begins with the figure of speech
So i drop a few jewels on your bloody knees
Meditating inbetween Porch pillars astral projecting
Behaved addict ruled by tainted genetics
You only live once in the third dimension
Life is eternal but only in spirit
Trapped in a dazed vision for no hallucination
Criminal minded thoughts and i never been caught
Doubt the instruction begin the destruction
F@ck your government and all deductions
Die rich?
What for if in the next dimension money doesnt exist
Untll next time brethren of the wordsmith fellowship. ..

Why does red means risk?
Why does it signifies danger?
I did searched and frisked
into the unknown lithosphere.
I even gazed into the basilisk
just to see things clearer
and uncover
its meaning deeper.
I went further,
even employed cindynic,
the science of danger.
And there,
it laid bare
right before my eyes,
red's real meaning.
Red is the Color of Love.
Love is the danger,
Love is the risk,
it is the menace
that we are warned of.
You're my red flag,
the risk I'm willing to take,
the danger I'm willing to embrace.
