i come to you half mad with desire like slithers tongue i wish to have painfully stitched to your silky **** an act of desires supplication my *** turned to poison deprivations effulgent obsidian flower salivating your every smile fleshy bells ringing warping tintinnabulations i am a starved incubus drooling at your knees behind me a frothy junket of misdeeds for loves sake your feet the scent of lavender and salt their shape evoking numberless poems and begging adorations your belly a tender cauldron undulating tummy ***** dancer sacred ********** temple of worship the site of your rounded bottom naked red mouth calling my sacred liturgy your ***** velvet tulips for a tremulous kiss I seed you a thousand times a raging bludgeon storming wounded gates Palisades drenched and florid fruit and milk **** until jaws lock and spire drops turning me to midnight cadaver ***** black hollows a dark eyelid, blink-less dead **** face down a slumped snake then soft dew and cool ales clear thickened muds saturation lighten heat and peel the warm palate with agile caress tender haunches wide and spiced milk and butter thighs her hair in mine rushing river life again i animate an embryo id dressed in fire all vices and virtues blood and sky

*** DEATH AND RESURRECTION
I started with my dress, The white one with the black flowery design. I added my black scarf, draping it Casually around my head, Trying to stop my thoughts from drifting To what I was dressing up for. I slipped on my sandals and then Slipped out the door, Not slamming it because that felt like An ending. I didn’t want another ending. Walking into the church, The temperature went up 50 degrees, And my anxiety went up 100. I shook hands with the extended family, Hugged your widow, And comforted your grandchildren. I made it through the opening liturgy, Your favorite hymn, and the obituary. I even stopped my tears from falling During your granddaughter’s touching eulogy, When she started sobbing up there on the altar. Afterwards, I sat through the meal, Everything tasting like cardboard in My mouth as the temperature kept increasing. Near the end of the night, When the church was clearing out, I went back to the food, Craving a final bite of cheesy potato casserole Before I could finally leave this night behind. Yet when I get there, The tray is cleaned out, And there is no more cheesy potato casserole. That’s when I finally break down and sob. I didn’t get that last bite of Cheesy potato casserole.

That Last Bite of Cheesy Potato Casserole
her happiness is everything her pathos; be kind with cruelty blood and tears, a royal jelly merciless kisses like blazing pyres she cries through a night prayer my push pin princess; a crimson petal nerves edge; jutting ******* seeking cleavers kiss to serve to serve to serve smiling for a relish of wasps she knows she is loved a loved red faced surprise **** mouth, red chirping sparrow wax teeth melting succubus, **** flower gratefully crushed under foot toes like musical notes little pearl ruins   grave stones whipped cream butter cookie in chains stipule corridor **** plume serrations gush, a singing Dahlia ripped rose, thorned and curt plush flames her skull a throat her liturgy weeping, licking gods bulging colossus wakes her inside giving her religion sacrificed on a crucifix of ***** **** of heaven a burning church possessed drooling supplications lustrous saliva web drapes trembling downward thighs a glutinous chandelier melts like silk around ankles crystal silt on scorched heels to serve to serve to serve her happiness is everything her pathos; be kind with cruelty

There is just no sleeping tonight I am trying but the twirling of my head won't let everything be alright. So I sit, gaze straight instead. No, there is just no rest in sight. The coffee *** is waiting ready for the dawning of early morning light, but I keep my gaze steady. If there will be snoozing against minds might tomorrow will come in glory to greet me without a fight and I will continue on to the following verse of this story. Verse 2...Still no sleep Magnitude of mighty morals must mind minutes on laurels. Lay lying in lighted luck lamenting. Love lives lively less forgetting. Find favor of Father's future. Fair in fun filled creature. Crawl in crevasse created. Can of cold cards played. Pain of posture posed poignantly. Part in pretty petals painted loosely. Learn of leaning lantern low. Lid open liturgy's lighted meadow!

No Sleep....Still No Sleep
we are all plagued by the same haunting disease. every step on this wearied road is just a step in our prison. esoteric dreams of unchanging bliss are humanity's liturgy. the only steadfast thing in this oxymoronic world is dissatisfaction. we are foundering in it, wishing to drown already. the romantics looked to love, now we look to apathy; but this prison has no escape, except death. so we fell in love with the grim, when fantasy failed us. now we sit here, entranced with the mud but dreaming of beaches. meaningless, meaningless, meaningless. we are the living dead.

imprisoned in dissatisfaction
Let lore luster lax, Lingered love leavens. Let love loop lilac lei lavishly. Listen lovelorn lilt, laconic liken Lisping liturgy, limping litany. Litmus-leaking longing, languor lengthened.

Lo, Lapiz Lazuli
High ground I concede to you in the disproportion of a time allotted to you for the choice of robe to grace a glorified cameo around your flesh like a sheet designated for an overthrowing in an honorary statue's unveiling Liturgy is looming in the bathroom already hot-boxed in the metal waterfall's mist of moisture and the mountain range of bubbles I have settled comfortably into in wait High ground awaits your hallowed prance into the concealed languish of your man's dangling imagination I salute you with incentive through a lowering of eyes made necessary by your towering above my horizontal soak I'm beseeching you to wield royal sway over the humility of my reclined posture with the hidden scepter of your body fated to dictate the pace of my anticipated knighting The gentle thud of fabric on linoleum incites a turning of my head to take in the litany of parts available to my frenetic feels and jumbled focus Stationary in your naked smile of proximity you extend to me excessive time to entertain options as I coat myself in lukewarm opportunities and rise to meet you for a bathing in my excess wetness I accelerate my exit to negate the bubbled tribuataries sliding to the floor to meet the remnants of your mystery The wall is cold and you protrude haplessly to meet the rapid chilling of my undried frame Warmth is of the essence Fingers split your hair in celebration of our uniform heights and I feel you slouch signalling our first hint of friction and a twitch in my diviner of your cradle of essential warmth Do you realize you now rescind creative license? Or have you filled the snare of your intentions? Now your balance shivers in the mercy of my curled leg of leverage and an coiled arm collecting your ambrosial attributes like an ice cream scoop Uniform heights allowing eye contact makes optional the visual acknowledgment of my elastic hunting in the smooth field of your breast with a dancing thumb I connect and latch onto what is now our binding axis and shuffle eye contact with the universal rhythm of a pelvic power ballad

I washed your sheets on Mondays, a private liturgy Their veracious nature spoke; my eyes sought not to see I scrubbed those stains with child's hands Until linen stripped and fell to strands Those twisted ropes that once bound us Turned silent traitors, servants of  lust Denial is my cross to bear And of the irony, I am aware Yet do not dismiss my right to ache My faith in you is your mistake But know when thread unwinds to bone You will lie prisoner on those sheets Alone

***** Laundry
our withering is changing. we have new lungs and the sour mercy of our discotheque is no longer earth shattering. new bells that'll ring, ping the sonar of thus far, and right now. our iguana is bothered but our cactus is out of practice, so we malice the wrong people. brown scotch botched in the locust plume of our nothingness. all in the night jar. we palm the coin of many realms but snooker the genie into 4 wishes for kicks. we split the bucket list and enlist strange agents to embroil the liturgy of our silence with the umbrage of our slumbers. where rumbles the blunder of our measured steps as we stumble through the rapscallions of our private thoughts in the after hours. we empower our oblivion by kissing on the mouth. this is how we keepsake sacred, but escape velocity by way of quiet... this loud.

The Night Jar
The Autumn missal has arrived, A fall reminder of the coming cold, Strange slanting light to shift the maple Greens to furious red and gold. High above the myriad travelers chant adieu, As on their sky-road paths they sing, A chorus glorious to southern waters blue Where winter marshes serve a warm retreat. A liturgy of highest order drives the world Beyond the ken of time-old cycles round; Hibernal instinct now in feral life unfurls: Flogs squirrels outward on their oak-corn bounds, Plushes wealth of wolves' warm winter fur, Hardens bone and antler, deepens feathered down, Adds harvest fat to beast and fish and fowl, Drives sap below old Frost's attempt to burrow down. _________________ Unspoken paen unheard by almost all, A careless shivering passerby may dread This ritual changing of the Fall, But never mind, the liturgy is read, And Nature safely tucks herself into her wintery bed.

i don't think that you know what privacy means to me i'm staying drunk in the quiet of my safe liturgy of thoughts because concepts are honest and curious they aren't gonna judge me and that's what i need some company with peace but inside them i'm violent i'm rough to the touch i try to be silent so i'm not caught searching the corners for love when every house party is about "that idiot who said" or her "stupid makeup" so i'm not sure where i expect to find any sort of understanding in these social engagements i don't see meaning in ripping down others just for being in the same room as you and minding their own business it always makes me uncomfortable i don't see the usefulness knowing it's easier to call someone else useless when you feel so and draw your own conclusions than admit you don't really know it's easier to stab the surface than to learn someone's breathing well enough to understand the way their blood flows it's easier to make a snarky comment on their clothes than to sit down and get to know them so admit it our darkness thrives on judgement and you will feel so much better because once you let go of them emotions flow through you like weather extend your arms for once and realize that every single person you know knows something you don't understand yet instead of barraging them with the ways you wish you were better you thought i was going to say they weren't you because everyone's partial to weak knees and weak ankles it's easier to strike the person who opens their arms to you even once is enough to break them because you justify they allow themselves to be so breakable and though i feel these things to be true in my gut and want to validate every single person i can see needs the love i'm in need of my own breed of saving and i'm sick of this negative engaging i just don't have any more chances to be so kind as to offer you a target

long after these thousand days of passing years, the eyes will feel a sparking, I will remember you, my dear old friends, reviewing the where, the when, which will flush, outing the whys from my memories more than the poetic liturgy composed, but what felled me to my knees, yearning, for the soup of love and passion, pain+no gain, euphorias rising at the trenching lows of depths newly explored, hope returning after a long time abandonment, the excruciating ecstasy of creating, the killing tedium of months of no inspiration but the glint of a possible tomorrow but you knot all this, so come to tell you, long after the poem encased in yellowing emerald unwrapping aging megabytes, more than any old poem itself, I wil remember what you wrote in return, with insight all we are, we are an interaction a petrified yet living petri dish of creatures re/anew, r e n e w e d, and I am young again and the tears of yore no more, fresh flowering droplets of a longer than believable age, factuals of the sweet, you will move once more, remaking me your lover devotee and I wil stumble; the woman enquirer am I ok, whimsy respond never, never ever better my darling and I lift a tissue to erase the evidence of my happy melancholic existence, and start another conversation with you, but no! one of us long gone, name erased, poems left behind, orphaned children, them and me left alone while I will be remembered, by remembering you, our second of union as it reverberates, our amour reunion is a wetting, giving forth a burst, a fluid sac, again

# I. Antiquity and the Architecture of Will In the shadowed corridors of antiquity, where gods were built with teeth and altars stood not for reverence but for control, the Temple of Bel rose as a monument to ********** disguised as divinity. Bel—an assimilated god from earlier Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian traditions—was not the god who walked with man. He was the god who towered above him, demanded sacrifice, and soaked prayer in the blood of repetition. From the earliest Mesopotamian systems, the act of worship was not about communion, but compulsion. To invoke was to command. To chant was to erode the will of another until it cracked under rhythmic insistence. Whether by priest or supplicant, the act was the same: submission by saturation. --- II. The Weaponization of Sound: Chant and the Rhythmic Spell Repetition was not mere ceremony. It was siege. Chants—carefully crafted phonetic loops—were not benign rituals. They were linguistic architecture meant to house spirits, to summon presence not for beauty, but for enforcement. These were incantations with purpose: to bend the will of another through the veil of mysticism. In this light, poetry—at its inception—was not always art. It was often sorcery. The earliest poems were enchantments. They masked seduction as devotion. They twisted longing into ******* They were rhythmic netting, carefully knotted to catch the weak of will and the fractured of self. --- III. The Modern Construct: Echoes of an Ancient Spell Those who hide behind the aesthetic of antiquity today still wear the same rings of power. When a poet writes to control—when they loop trauma like a mantra, repeat seduction as if it were depth, mimic spiritual language to inspire compliance—they are no different than the priests of Bel. They are modern invokers, cloaked in digital incense, spreading spells under the guise of free expression. Their readers are not disciples. They are targets. The “construct” is not a movement. It is a spell. A liturgy without light. A series of hollow echoes designed to flatten identity, rewrite pain into performance, and reward the wound that sells. --- IV. The Severance of Echo: Where the Rhythm Ends If you must chant, let it be to awaken, not ****** If you must repeat, let it be to remember truth, not reshape it. The false liturgies of old were not killed. They were digitized. We will not respond with louder poems. We will not echo their echo. We will respond with silence where needed, and light where earned. We will write not to possess, but to set free. We will bring antiquity not as ornament, but as witness. Because we remember the Temple of Bel. And we are here to break it. Let those who recite in darkness meet the rhythm of truth. #

Such a playful synergy Your heart strings and mine Thrumming on our frequencies Drawing fourth sacred energy Running on light beams Dipping our toes into notes And hands wafting in melodies Dizzying highs and resounding lows Shattering boredom Stepping on apathy And plucking joy from the air   A glorious spiritual liturgy How beautiful now since we've learned to pray Drawing such sublime adventures Going this way and that Shuffling the order of truths and mystic mysteries Coming full circle where withall then bounding off again.   Such a lifting of feet a symphony of etherial musings The tethering of our minds eyes innocent daydreams Making a mockery of darkness Shining in the glory light beams Bloated with gladness Soaring with hopes Soul Edifying And that's just the beginning Of our poetry.

A litany of manic adventures
there were dandelions on the grass dear girl, the smell of an Alcatraz flower is fresh on my linen but sometimes I look back and wonder if this city wears a too thick a coat while it struts pantless over the sidewalks of Macarther Park there is liturgy mumbled, a woman waving her hands in the air– Sunday school prayers being learned in Spanish tri-folded pamphlets on the floor and gum over the pavement blackened by the cooperative march of immigrant workers speaking in all tongues and carrying on their backs, the tower of babel while halted at a red light heavy cargo trucks speeding down Alameda Street wearing down the road and the patience of drivers tents multiplied, and R.V's lining the streets   the old buildings being torn down and neighboring apartments  getting face-lifts   "beautification" costs more than headshots– more than a rhinoplasty– more than the real estate of DTLA– when you see two kids come out of a tent with their school backpacks on –you begin to grasp the price Is this what Keats meant: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever " even while destitute the neon pink on their bags seemed like another gift of spring and their perseverance the paragon of  a psalm of life

"Beautification" (Every morning at 7:40 am)
plot out distances between freckles and count the amount of hairs; in a beauteous analysis a cold witnessing of)a featured lifeless gaze projected onto windows refracted in time with the pounding from lost soulless ghouls in a dank puddled basement as we stare through keyholes the length of life waits to rescind to wash up on the shoreline anew, once refreshed with Angina on wading in cyclic waves in deposits of reveries stale orangeade sonatas and dull area tirades the purpose economized every axiom americanized and as your atoms become depersonalized tension is materialized, in ornate ivory shattered brass instruments rusted by novels written to god in a fractured light and range cramped in a curtailed distance a brickwall deadend universe gnashing with frustration ****** yawns of futility closed viaducts and vacant lots deafened eyes, grey glimmering in retort to their own expression blind sight was squandered by the snapback, of all the strings of the orchestra as they were simultaneously snipped by sharp prying eyes, listening to the mixing of paint to smell the music, its arms limp, vivid wishing to pull you back (in hindsight) with dreaded, deadened incantations a dithyrambic liturgy to the drunken thoughtless night of slurred litanies and unappeasable, irascible deities lonely and immaculate, all-powerless and deft in irksome quarrels and arguments glossed over by the fine print of another exalting the vainglorious self-inscribed paragons and revelling every inadmissible mistake gazing past to a solo star dumbstruck and dead from an evaluation and dehydration dying to know forget it.

plot out distances between freckles and count the amount of hairs; in a beauteous analysis a cold witnessing of)a featured lifeless gaze projected onto windows refracted in time with the pounding from lost soulless ghouls in a dank puddled basement as we stare through keyholes the length of life waits to rescind to wash up on the shoreline anew, once refreshed with Angina on wading in cyclic waves in deposits of reveries stale orangeade sonatas and dull area tirades the purpose economized every axiom americanized and as your atoms become depersonalized tension is materialized, in ornate ivory shattered brass instruments rusted by novels written to god in a fractured light and range cramped in a curtailed distance a brickwall deadend universe gnashing with frustration ****** yawns of futility closed viaducts and vacant lots deafened eyes, grey glimmering in retort to their own expression blind sight was squandered by the snapback, of all the strings of the orchestra as they were simultaneously snipped by sharp prying eyes, listening to the mixing of paint to smell the music, its arms limp, vivid wishing to pull you back (in hindsight) with dreaded, deadened incantations a dithyrambic liturgy to the drunken thoughtless night of slurred litanies and unappeasable, irascible deities lonely and immaculate, all-powerless and deft in irksome quarrels and arguments glossed over by the fine print of another exalting the vainglorious self-inscribed paragons and revelling every inadmissible mistake gazing past to a solo star dumbstruck and dead from an evaluation and dehydration dying to know forget it.

Pythagoras was a man,not a fish, how I wish I had never been so clever to suggest otherwise,though he swam he's a man not a fish for a dish,now I wish that the ground would swallow me whole,it wasn't my goal to be remembered for slating a national figure who knew more about figures than I ever would, could he forgive me in some algebraic liturgy?,well maybe he should. I mentioned him once on a radio show, though he may not have heard it,he's been dead quite a long bit, and if you've been waiting for a motion that's stating I'm right you've a long way to go, Pythagoras knew and now I know too it's not what you add up, it's what you add up to.

The real Mckoyroupolis
She reigns above the grimy thoroughfare where Gun Hill Meets Jerome. A school house made of yellow brick serves as her earthly home It was built by Italian immigrants with plaster Brick and stone. It comforted the Irish Micks when they felt all alone. A sculptor found the beauty contained in a block of stone and carved an inspiration for her people far from home. The faces at her table change They hail from different climes The words and accents differ in the liturgy of time. Our lady stands as guardian where the human meets Divine Her school, a testament to faith, in difficult turbulent times

Immaculate Mary
The sun shines through the empty cross. Stained glass windows making salvation patterns for the heart. Christ shines in ever increasing flashes of magnificence. Hail Mary! Your Son is our God! With Holy Trinity in union, with souls seeking peace. The Son of Man, the Son of God revealed in ageless liturgy. Hail Mary! Your Son has ascended. Rosary glistening in hand, as prayers are offered in simple voice. Chanting priest as conduit to the transubstantiation . Hail Mary! The Body of Christ is ours!

Hail Mary! The Body of Christ Is Ours!
The headlands are full of marigolds and corn flowers, borne from fallow fields. Temporal but captivating. Perhaps from another wind will wild Orchid's seed, on the cusp of nature's reserve, if only allowed to persevere ? but whose effort's should never be doubted.

Liturgy
I find myself stopping in a crowd of people and time slows still. Their laughter, their unpredictable movements, the fights and the resolutions and the bonding of brothers--all quiet. I am left in the fabric of things to wonder at the tapestry we call a culture. How am I to know what is proper when all have their own true mothertongue? Who can teach me what to say when all I know is jumbled and disheveled based on who I've been and what I know? I leave behind a southern legacy of liturgy and doctrine that outlines exactly what is human and exactly what is not. I step into a society that constantly years to fill a void--please Lord, find us someone who knows the Truth.   Their apathy and nonchalance is false; bravado is left wanting. I know they they all cry out for connection and seek it in flesh rather than spirit. I am caught in the midst of the pursuit of happiness and the quest for morality. I know not what brings joy to humanity, I hike towards that river and hope it is not run dry like all others. In the study of psychology, I have found so many places where words fall short and the great carnal animal within all of us takes precedence, demands attention, seeking comfort in a world that often overlooks those that need it the most. Love is a fragile, timid thing that is most often hard to find and difficult to voice. Instead, we lash out in aggression to hide that inner child that needs a tried and true comfort of a known embrace. We seek forgiveness and express it in anger, manipulation, meeting our needs however possible because this is America, after all. This is all we want in our sequestered human heart, the beginning of redemption.
