"miasmic" poems
Ganders...gargantua--ensconced in far-fetched space... (attrition)...LOOK AT THAT LINE...LOOK AT IT... ROUND THE CORNERS OF PERPETUITY...predilections. A soul's inalienable fracas...on bend and knee...hop...and whoop...miasmic gargoyles poppy-wreathed... for all-too-lucid dreaming...chanting etceteras of bare riff raffs. Golden breastplates...weeping willow wings...empurpled-- fending fang trumping lines of: yuck, cluck, claw and kook. ...Listless eyes...alphabetize...think a blind oracle's informed absentia...holy and bovine. Redolent airs...perspiration of spume's most distancing shore-- eyepieces for the specks and logs in the oculos of brothers and sisters. As dust to dust doth not settle...heart's yonder score...nay cease of interstice...off-world amorousness. Gather ye yarrow sticks...hurl them at days...roofless arcady... live into the spectra of their worlds, come friend or foe...Fate's foundling. Lines strung as prayer beads...curs-ed beads...forget-me-nots enclosed in letters baiting Long Farewells, in the great literary correspondence of authored and Author. ...Ye gorgeous gargoyles come perch and push. Persona non grata...the wide world...unisex prodigal...All--returneth. LOOK AT THAT LINE...LOOK AT IT...(attrition)...ROUND THE CORNERS OF PERPETUITY. NEBULAEIC FANFARE...come perch to push...lo...ANGELS!

Gorgeous Gargoyles
*Shimmering, miasmic waves of suffocating heat, bounce off the scorching pavement and distort the tortured street. A toxic stew of asphalt sticks to every tire and shoe, as tar begins to bubble 'Tis "The Texas summer goo". Oppressive heat beats downward from relentless glaring sun. Be wary of Apollo's malice! Summer's just begun.*

I'm On Fire
By your leave, let I slumber once forever.. And my moment shall never realize itself. My portfolio possess no wherewithal wager, My seat of affection is now dull and rough. Sepsis leak a foggy black since blight is nigh, The sea is feeble whilst the sun shine naught. The corpse of venal men flow unhealthy dye, Henceforth pervade the soil with miasmic malt. Lest my mistimed demise be not remembered, Shall the script mark y'all failed to deter abuse. Today my ember is snuffed and plundered, On the morrow a bright star will rise, I muse. Heed thine auguries borne from frigid stupor, Vicious tendrils cascade upon my rigor mortis. O gray vision as though gazing through vapor, Hear that silent gasp veiled under my spicy lips.

Lady Harken under Guillotine
Terrestrial flame, inner pandemic Euphoric feeling, pain so miasmic Anatomic design, enduring torture, Return now my sorrows, dark, true and pure, Searing red tears, dreadful desires, Obscuring vision, blackness transpires, Fading views of the world, moment of truth, Bestowment of death, trouble of youth, Lament is the few, who whisper the name, Obedient to fate, the wanderers blame, Obsessed with the blood, hearts final cry, Dawning his last moment, he wonders why,

Agony
In a blanket of breath now pleasantly swathed Our bodies made broken; prostrate in the fog Exhumed from the boughs of tree-tops so balmy On alabaster bones that tremble quite calmly With thoughts of tomorrow, our miasmic today That in wistful contemplation is thoroughly dismayed Like the sullen, windy chimes of a church bell that rings In the hardened heart of winter, on frost-bitten strings Which frail, arboreal appendages, with nimble purposes pluck To indulge the dulcet beds, in which our thoughts are tucked In a licentious yawn that drifts, from scentless, sleepy shrouds Like azure ships now sailing, through lofty, lilting clouds Our pendulous hands still pawning these passionate decrees With fervent fears to consummate your swiftly slumbered vestige Atop my flesh, all slick with sweat, and in shadows sorely rapt The mellifluous hum of reverent sight, through keyholes quickened pass My heart is estranged from the banal constraint of this stagnant mortal coil Held aloft in the piercing plea of love’s unbidden toil All visions captive to the subtle sway of your chest now undulating Like waves that crash, in rhythms vast; my thoughts, they are invading Urgency deemed, from unconscious form, in sharp pangs of desire The crease between your lips, the hand heavy on my hip: the nuances in which I am mired The idiosyncrasies of you like a poem that is repeatedly folded And jettisoned into my open mind, where these precious admissions molded Taking form in tangible caress, to envelop with silken shivers On the sill of windows wide where lonesome flowers withered Thus proffered throat, in porcelain quiver, where stilted lungs concealed In tear-wrought arrows, tempered and true, fly with errant zeal To pin my ruminant heart upon this ragged, beggar’s sleeve And chain my weightless body, from where it floats among the eaves

The Idiosyncrasies of You
In a blanket of breath now pleasantly swathed Our bodies made broken; prostrate in the fog Exhumed from the boughs of tree-tops so balmy On alabaster bones that tremble quite calmly With thoughts of tomorrow, our miasmic today That in wistful contemplation is thoroughly dismayed Like the sullen, windy chimes of a church bell that rings In the hardened heart of winter, on frost-bitten strings Which frail, arboreal appendages, with nimble purposes pluck To indulge the dulcet beds, in which our thoughts are tucked In a licentious yawn that drifts, from scentless, sleepy shrouds Like azure ships now sailing, through lofty, lilting clouds Our pendulous hands still pawning these passionate decrees With fervent fears to consummate your swiftly slumbered vestige Atop my flesh, all slick with sweat, and in shadows sorely rapt The mellifluous hum of reverent sight, through keyholes quickened pass My heart is estranged from the banal constraint of this stagnant mortal coil Held aloft in the piercing plea of love’s unbidden toil All visions captive to the subtle sway of your chest now undulating Like waves that crash, in rhythms vast; my thoughts, they are invading Urgency deemed, from unconscious form, in sharp pangs of desire The crease between your lips, the hand heavy on my hip: the nuances in which I am mired The idiosyncrasies of you like a poem that is repeatedly folded And jettisoned into my open mind, where these precious admissions molded Taking form in tangible caress, to envelop with silken shivers On the sill of windows wide where lonesome flowers withered Thus proffered throat, in porcelain quiver, where stilted lungs concealed In tear-wrought arrows, tempered and true, fly with errant zeal To pin my ruminant heart upon this ragged, beggar’s sleeve And chain my weightless body, from where it floats among the eaves

It is in our all for we are all and in a tunnel coiled An entwining miasmic kaleidoscope we call our entirety We are a collective phantasmagoria of escapeless toil Lost in ourselves and forewent to society The quark to the universe the everything to the quark All beauty too big to look and too small to see An everything of light yet we have sight only to the stark Within the bleak there is only me for you and you for me The god’s perform their song in the foundations of all formed Waves sway and quaver thrumming from an insoluble craw One note un-precise and we’re left ever so more deformed Each of us hear it differently yet as you with mine all I can hear is yours

The Tune We All Hum
It had discovered A small shaft of darkness Wriggling from the pain of light A mere whispered phantom Haltingly treading a miasmic path Continuous dewdrops of ocean water Leaking from saddened face And its twisted self Enveloped in putrid strongholds Of offensive thoughts Though veiled in The absence of light It has met its match, A burning flame, The flowering torch Of another heart With moth- like trance It has followed this luminous being And become itself An entity of inspiration

whispered phantom
A cross section of humanity lends itself to prose in gross here, in the airport, sanity has given up, the ghost Jesus just walked by followed by a femme fatale a lady on her way back home and a guy they just call, Al A miasmic gathering of souls crossections of the human race to see and/or behold in or outer, space Ethnicity oblivious no one black and no one white moving through the airport all are odd, or strange And every one just right

Wings of harmony
My dear friend, don't seek to follow me for I'm off to the land of broken promises and pity, within its river of alcohol I wish to drown my sorrows - upon the black pearl that is Heartbreak Heaven City. It's semi-mythical river runs through a jungle of grimy brickwork and choked smog - a city that revels in its own pollution so much so, it's many people suffocate beneath it's caustic fog. And this river, of which I speak, acts as a candle for the deaf and the blind - no one would ever dare to live in this city if it weren't for its promises of prosperity pushing them from behind. Sometimes there's a brief lapse where the fog lifts, and people sip the river's waters beneath a moonlit sky, alas, they only end up gorging and passing out - intoxicated, they fall into the shadowy depths to drown and die. Oh, tonight I venture out to its miasmic bank, sadness and anger so intense, my brain it burns and chars - upon the twelfth stroke I will descend into it's surface, and my soul will rise to the everlasting stars...

Heart-Break Heaven
as i close my eyes a land so bizarre appears before my sight full of mystics, stillness, and trickery and this hollow heart of mine sprout the **** of curiosity how could this be so real? a flash before my eyes the sky lifts me up so high and stretches the arms of mine like birds soaring up the sky i flap them side by side with my heart in wonderment, I ponder reflects before my very eyes an aesthetic resemblance of mine with great affection gazes at me with awe our eyes meet and merge lil flowers sprout out from between the ******* of ours a chest of exquisite embellishment this strange land far away where i set my foot with ease waters crystallize and dance with elegance flowers and trees smile and breathe how could this be so real? then suddenly... darkness fell on me mystic land decayed waters ran blood and miasmic flowers and trees  called out death i trembled in fear I want to flee but the grass clasp my legs impossible to leave

dreamland
Miasmic clouds strewn through the air Inside our minds A wishing well Such things have known Much hail and storm Insanity thrown through the clouds Could show us when and show us how Could clouds answer me or will I Live depravity Out of water spring my feet Under clouds Dive my leaf; to the ground so Soundlessly

Miasmic clouds
Come with me, we'll go and see a world through eyes of despair, where children cry their tears of blood that rains from out the air. Where bodies lie in every stye that wraps 'round every bend, and broken dreams lay in the streets, never to flourish again. Harpies flare through razor air, and harlots ire the land. Stay your breath, lest shall you fall unto their starving hands. Screams of fear ring loud and clear; cacophonies tremble the wind. Banshee wails doth trail the gales; listen to the gospels of sin. Gaze unto horizon's hue, so beautifully bleak, and black. Miasmic decay corrupts the dawn, and chokes the daylight back. The countryside's nowhere to hide, for there's where cannibals dwell. Marrow, bone and bloodied flesh fill the outskirts of our Hell. Drops of flame akin to rain fall from out the sky from toxic clouds of blackened smoke; we're all gonna fuckin' die. What say you, oh filthy shrew, shall we sign you in? Come inside, you've naught to fear. Come bask within the sin.

Wonderland
When summer pierces earth and dying root, And winds the golden-honeyed flowers sweep, And liquor rays bathe every bud and shoot, Newly awakened from the depths of sleep, When pollen springs forth in white, seasoned clouds, Miasmic dreams, like visions, pure and sweet, When gentle rainy mist the land enshrouds, And tiptoes cross the meads on silent feet, When sweet, ambrosial bloom shall sprout and bud, And throw their dreamy breaths to weave a sigh And cast their milky sap, and sport sweet blood, And touch the Heavens that bedight the sky, Tis time, when fresh and pure is all of love But still I worry, for seasons all move

Summer and Love
This wasn’t the first time daddy had asked Mary to come into his room, but I was so surprised that she called daddy by his first name but I didn’t say a word. That mad look in daddy’s eyes shone as bright as those sprinkled stars as he made his way beside the bed. “Come now darlin’, don’t make me beg for ya. I need my wife tonight I can’t help it.” His breath puffed out in waves of sour miasmic ***** as he bent down low to kiss Mary on her head. He stayed there just seeming to breath in her hair for a moment. Mary stayed stock still in the bed rubbing my head telling me it would alright. I didn’t know what was happnin’. “Can’t you see the girls are scared tonight?” Her voice rattled horasly, as if she was scared but she lay there firm. Daddy looked around suddenly as if tryin to find something lost. “Where’s Kylie?” he asked scratchin his head as if that made him think better. He peered into the dark, his eyes squinted a bit as he tried to see through the dark. He shook his head but I sat up and said “right here daddy.” I went up to touch his arm but Mary held me back. “Don’t touch him.” She whispered to me, then patting me on my arm until I quieted. “I don’t know Don,” Mary said to him, “Probably out like usual lookin’ up at those stars again. You know how she loves her stars.” Daddy laughed again then took Mary’s hand pullin her up from the bed. “Come on now Martha.” He cooed kissin her on her hand. “You’ve got to leave the girls to sleep on their own.” Mary tried to resist but daddy only laughed lacing his fingers in hers. I lay still that night, Haley held tight on my arm cryin silently. She was thirteen and kept whisperin over and over that it wasn’t right what he did to her. “Why are you cryin?” I asked her, but she only told me to hush and close my eyes. It must have been about an hour later when I heard sounds commin from the other room. The headboard was hitting against the wall and daddy was grunting while Mary’s voice, small was whimpering, almost cryin.

I raise the bone up to my two juicy lips and I purse. Here comes the carcinogen, the miasmic smoke, the old ghost. But, my love, it's not like it was. My love, it's not like it was. I pick into the basalt black, like a boss. I exhale, mining verses from my vernacular like poisonous metal. But, my love, it's not like it was. It's nothing like it was, and I'm perfectly fine. In a manner of speaking.

An Odd Consolation| 4. Hot Press
The self-centered thief It takes when you have nothing to give Then tramples on your bed It creeps its way into your head And restrains your arms then hoards each leg You're forced to listen and wait Its caress much like a spider's walk It sears and burns, your rage pours forth All while your loved ones vacate Blaming you and your struggling might Its breath miasmic, past its venomous bite It ends by ****** your fate

The intangible bandit
It starts with a frown, she and I ー a discovery. Every exchange after, found with more frowns and peeking teeth. Strange, this feeling ー you desiderate and envy, but it finds you only if you'll look away. It latches and bubbles: *Of cool raindrops on concrete pavements, bare feet and no umbrellas allowed.* So like the rain, I dive. Inimitable; Intrepid. What is poison if the antidote is held? Why fear the fall when such heights are reached? But dear Assuagement of the dive, meet the pavement of life. The miasmic tension and polar principles and frangible hearts reduced to glass shards- and feet still bare. The once melodic hums now tearing sounds that pierce and vilify reason. The once curious frowns now baring fangs that warp and end beauty. If only I knew... Oh dear poisonous nectar, please, cure and claim my fate.

That once I felt
Uncouthly, the freeze of late-february did start to wane, and from the canals that run through the city of Manchester mists slowly arose, along with degrading auras of heavy disdain. As pubs and nightclubs alike shuttered up and locked down upon the cusp of early morn, slimy creatures slowly ascended, treading the shadows of the streets for easy prey to ****** before the oncoming dawn, stray felines and dogs, the most common of their foods, thy amphibious monstrosities leaving behind nothing but bones - and upon the second night after, their hunger sought more, so they snuck into unknowing buildings and stole children from their homes. Now what happened on that morning after was most queer; these children were not found dead nor reduced to corpses, but in the strangest of places - standing upon the edge of the canal's miasmic bank, untouched 'xcept for the stretch of skin that now covers their faces.

The Nightmare Of The Winter's Decease
Freuds lament meant that a pen is a ***** I comment Hi I am Sebastian I’m an addict Addicted to frantic erratic language In what language am I babbling in - can’t quit - can't resist Grappling this black pen with smeared hands Grasp the ******* thing And ink Panicking again Where squids swam Here stands a weird man Trapped in a stare match With miasmic abyss It’s scary **** As hearing camera flashes Dancing bare *** Unaware as to where the camera is Can’t fathom it An ensnaring act Grabbing talons Talented career paths Disappear fast With mirror battling The mere craftsmanship And mad man’s wit Embarrassing as still asking, unaware as to what is happening With clear answers apparent still Years pass years after still ain’t clear after asking this This is maddening Reappearing patterns still amass And thinking different things will happen if in fact I can persist The same **** happens That ***** batshit What if This madness catches That is bad As lit matches Catching mattress lint I fear I did damage to my Amygdala oblongata as a kid Again and again Damm habits Still I amass amazing Paragraphs saturations A hue is soothing To translucent humans Like my time as a youth spent School bench doodling Pulled the blue pen through the movements maneuvered cerulean loops drew huge dudes and exuberant protruding ***** for my youths amusement Nowadays I fetching the meddling Red pen sent from heaven making corrections, leveling mistakes begging for a reckoning, making more of less, settling scores, enabling communications less deafening, less beckoning, helping to get a sense of my best and when i left my element. what I might write with my white pen is silence, enticing I think.

wading through fields drowned in blood i listen to the sound of my pounding heart dissolve into the carrion-song of the ravens while you shimmer in the glow of my absence sipping dandelion wine from divinity itself. do the gods love you for it as much as i? **** them. it doesn't matter. their might will be mud and they will choose oracles from flowers reaching for indifferent sky in a future far beyond the reach of their miasmic mythologies while you smile at me behind the same glass of wine. again, **** them.

you said that was my problem
In my sleep I will dream of unborn Realities But now I have woken Though am I still asleep? I am wrong placed This expected place Unexpected Someone has taken my body And I am in theirs I am attached To this experience In a most disconnected manner We ancient beings Travelling within fleshy physicalities Are novices Wading through miasmic soup Holding our breath Plunging for meaning Nothing but ambulant meanderers Rays of energy Pass unnoticed Through our cartilaginous joints And groaning sinews As fellow bipedals Led by hemispheric glossities March army like Into diurnal rhythmicals Heart warmth Lifts deep dungeon dwellers From their plight And sweet juices of hope berries Revitalise the old This is the Eden foundry This, an altered nirvana This but a displaced unreality Is our temporary Habitat Our strange Fangled Home

Where am I
Fell through the alligator’s snout Picked his teeth clean out Landed on a duelling banjo's tail Herein a Minneapolis trail Piously thumbed a black crested wave Buffeted by the pick up from the bridge Seized by turbulent string vibrations Singing to survive; drowning in awkward silence Cajoled and plucked on a tight-rope score Pounding pain within lifes neck Mics backfiring: boardwalkers selfless feedback Toe tapping, heel thumping discontent Fighting for humanity Evil running through crashing cymbals Miasmic lyrics pushing to survive Trade winds heading south Thrown ashore in the gutter Soaked from harmonica to soul A sliding quiver shackles societies skiffle Now climb your fretboard to heavenly freedom             Those who cannot breathe                    Legislate in due measures: equal rights and respect             Civilisations blues are out of tune Levitate the knee of wilful contempt

Deliverance: A blues story
Morning flower, mild light, misted and diffuse scents drift as kites. Dew kissed and cool, pale air through a cloudy pool, over our small patch of earth. The brushing grass gives us a place to grow, to search for the heavens, like the rose. You are so beautiful, you are nature's gift. You are my sun, beaming and raining blankets of warmth, but you also bring the mist. The bond between us will always endure storms and sense shadow ghosts of miasmic forms. Sometimes thunder booms and looms in the distance while the space between us sizzles with white radiance. But we plunge strong roots and emerge from the nurturing ground of love; our love that will not pass away but will always spin and swim in the vastness of space. Our love will always return to the sun, the warmth, the life and spring well of creation. We will always grow here -- we will rise and die and rise again -- on our little patch of heaven.
