. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; Walk with me n be my Friend: fending oFF thee awful Qualm, calming all the thoughts of Death. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; Talk to me if no one Else. "tell me what to do aGain?... ...death is gonna Haunchew." Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Waltzing in my ball of Hair; share the Yarn of all you Bear, spare the Rod n chop the Sheers. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; "Welcome to the slums of Hell." help me Speak in bleeding Tongue. "vi la Vita......vi de Vel". Mirror Mirror on the Wall: wall of Talking thought so Clear; hear the Fall of waldo's Water, thrall the Call of ocean Odlaw. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; call my Bluff n cuff my Arms, bar my Cell n sell my Soul, sow the Seed n reap its Rose. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; flaunt my Card n guard the Door. Youre the one im steering Clear of... ..."ofCourse you are." Mirror Mirror on the Wall; all i Know is no ones Lost, mossy Oak is all i Know, frozen Walls i call my Home. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; all you Are ish ards of Glass; lashing Out n always Laughing, laughing as you watch me Ball. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; all you Do is use my Tears. here you Are with all the Cotton, swabbing all my flaws n Fears. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; call me what you always Do: stupid Queer n weird n Ugly."dont ******* Tell me what to Do." Mirror Mirror on the Wall; talk the way you always Have: Chanting like a ******* Trucker, Cussing like a ******* Sailor. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; Hollow be my only Name. satan stole my only Halo: angel of a broken Cross. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; Follow me n see my View. you should see what i have Saw... ...all ive seen is You. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; all you Are is all i Am. have you not a ******* Conscience?... ..."obviously Not." Mirror Mirror on the Wall; walk a long this haunted Path. after That if you can Laugh... ...so can I. Mirror Mirror on the Wall; all youve Done is run n Hide.

Split mind. Split soul. Half of him loves his family. His intelligent daughter, energetic son, and beautiful wife. The other half loves nothing at all. Not himself, not his immorality, not even the toxins that he constantly ejects into his body. A modern day Jekyll and Hyde. To have a split personality is no easy taking. How does one love a single being with two men trapped inside. Knowing you will only be thought about with half the effort. Only known half of the time. Only loved with half the heart. Knowing this could drive a woman equally as crazy. While his careless half went out for another night of binge drinking and fornication, she was left at home. Well honestly, doing the same. One day it all became to much. In one of her drunken rants she grabs a pair off kitchen sheers. "Honey, where are you going?" she asked, not haven made up her mind on her next step. "Who the hell are you?" He replied. In a fit of drunken rage she charges after him. Determined that she could sheer away his lesser half. She screamed. He ran. She followed. Cornered, he had no where to flee. He snapped back. "Baby, what are you doing with the scissors?" , he asked frightened. He saw the look in her eyes. She was no longer there. The rage and fury had taken over her. "Babe, put the scissors down." He pleaded. She didn't understand what he was asking. Whether she couldn't comprehend that it was her husband back in control of his body, or if she just didn't care anymore, fed up with it all, no one knows. She lunged at him with the sheers in hand. When the officer arrived they saw the women curled in the corner smiling. "Did it work? Is he my husband again?" The mans body was mutilated. His skull was open. Half his brain was gone. His chest was open as well. Only half a heart. The women was taken away, convinced she did it all out of love. The children were placed in foster care. Both scarred for life from the events that they witnessed. And the man, well let's just say his partying days are over as well. Half hearted love kills.

Half Hearted Love

I Miss You---And You Don't Even Know
A quicksand cyclones downward at the center, A spiraling hole spun around by the sands that enter, They scratch at the innards of my heart, Pulling everything down and ripping it apart, I’ve tossed so many things at it, But they just drop into this endless pit, Nothing seems to fill it up, Instead everything just gets ****** up, It’s like having my flesh sliced by scattered grains, Spun at high velocity as it sheers against my veins, Carving out tiny wounds accumulate into scars, Blood seeping, lost and disappearing with its cause, Cries are ****** up and then dispersed, Scattered into pieces until it’s no longer heard, Screams are silenced by a ringing vacuum, Run through bleeding veins buried in my womb, It’s like something wants to come up, Like a volcano that’s ready to erupt, Everything that’s been sunk and saturated full, It’s getting ready to finally burst my soul, I didn’t want to shut it all up, It wasn’t my choice to have it all ****** up, I tried so hard to pull it out with my strength, But I underestimated the length of my pain, It’s been loaded and treated with all its vice, So I don’t know how to clean it up nice, I think my exterior is too thick for it to ever explode, But I think that one day, I am going to implode.

Quicksand
She holds these butterfly dreams these dragonfly visions always before her eyes to materialize The longed for want that within abides the tear that cannot hide, this deliverance of love that flutters within her heart as a dove longing the expression, the want To fly high the fields of hope Where she can cope with the uncertainties, the fears that within her at times sheers her world apart to the doubt Of all that she does want. Alisdaire O'Caoimph

Butterfly dreams
The clock was bound to strike midnight This I already knew. But I lost track of time, And I stayed searching for my shoe. It's like I was playing tug of war with a cowboy I just really didn't have a chance. I might as well have been doing the tango, During a western square dance. As soon as I tried to walk away, The cowboy was up in arms. He lassoed the rope around my waist, And I heard the shrill of alarms. Yet I still let him reel me in, Like a fish caught in a net I laid all my chips down and out, Knowing I was loosing the bet. I joined his game freely, With my whole army down. I had no back up at all. A shopaholic out on the town. And now I'm all torn up Cause he's done and had his way. And with a tip of his hat, This cowboy's said good day. He's ridden off into the sunset And I've watched him disappear. And I'm the cut up fragments of an unwanted **** That the gardener tore up with his sheers.

Nonsense
Satin-textured shamrock flower, whose eyes chrome the seas of the faded cushioned theatre seats, with their sparkling, piercing power-- You, saunter sprightly up and down, lyrical laughter over-bounds, in quick-timing to the taste of your Irish school-girl ways. We take time enough to see, those livid, lush-red cheeks, *(ripe, rose-blushed every time as you savour sweet the wine)* that sanctifies your softly senses, sans pretenses, whereon your wings of wonder float and fly. Scented, tactile spirit-showers, all the joy we need, as the stage-light's haunting beam, Sheers the magic of this hour-- You, lightly lift us off the ground, set us oh, so softly down upon those rhyming wisps of air that caress your auburn hair. Now, I, a poor poet, upon this paper play pleasing poetics of your praise, whilst the ink upon these lines, dries far faster than the tears falling from my wistful, yearning eyes in exaltation of your Wings of Wonder Ways.

Your Wings of Wonder (for Kate)
Something must make you happy; something must make you sad. Humans cannot simply be. Events construct emotions. Right? Something must be wrong with her- An extra something, making her disturbed. Removing that will fix her, yes? An extra foot of hair- watch it fall from silver sheers; an extra twenty pounds- watch as each disappears; an extra pint of blood- feel it evaporate with old fears. With everything wrong now gone there is no sorrow. Sadness is not replaced with joy, it's not replaced at all. The hollow void must be filled somehow. Something must be wrong with her- A missing something, making her incomplete. Adding that will fix her up, yes? One more earring- a small silver pin; One more scar- a memory on her skin; One more boy- feel him feel her in sin. Addition and subtraction won't make a person whole, but it's too late now for her to walk away. She's started a complex equation and will never see the solution defined.

Cut and Paste Human
Just My Job I chop off hands, I chop off feet, I'm the kind of guy, you don't wanna meet. I chop off legs, I chop off arms, if you wanna help, I'll take turns. I chop off ***** I chop off ***** I freeze the parts with ice cubes. I gouge out eyes, I chop off ears, don't worry I use sanitized sharp sheers. I cut out your kidneys, I cut out your liver, Cannibals pay me good to deliver. I chop off your ***** I cut out your heart, then put them all in a shopping cart. You may ask yourself why cannibals, because they eat humans, like we eat mammals. I peel off your skin, then chop off your head, they eat your skin with some mayo and bread. The payment plan is very well, if it wasn't, I would never sell. Times are tough in this recession, please don't get the wrong impression. This has become my career and passion, sorry that I show no mercy or compassion. I lure people into my home, started with a salesman selling chrome. Jehovah Witnesses are easy victims, I guess you can say I have serial killer symptoms. I sell the blood to all the hungry vampires, if you could only read my secret diaries. If anyone you know is considered missing, it's because of me going fishing. Cannibals give me a people list, I'm doing Gods work with a twist. Ten years and going strong, I guess, what I'm doing is wrong. People please don't judge what I do, or my next victim, could be you.

Just My Job
An after midnight wolf lives as a sheep by day, amongst opposites he sees through sheep’s clothing and moralizes through insecurities, though inaccurate, accusations man a marionette, a wolf in sheep’s clothing can manipulate but is easy to forgive, an after midnight wolf can ruin his sheepskin, and have follicles run dry, alcohol and anger and selfish malevolence over compassion, thought and apathetic benevolence, the sun can divide strong from weak, an after midnight wolf lashes and drinks and lashes, regrets and lacks morals yet lacks intent only listens to his mind and not his heart, he sheers himself with broken bottles and it takes a while to grow back

Torpid
Eyeball god in mouth Ostara?…Dio?…Luna? … Is light as hunger for colors? Eros the god of eyes and the hidden feelings shameful man with ***** **** — sighing *** in his heart — a crack, deep and wide! Black Hole! Punk rock for a Black Hole! Rainbow and jubilee exploded in flood! Like a ***** universe all of our pornographic desires moments of starving stars and **** stars! An eyeless god living in a glass tube with hearts like hot flashes in heat-blasted rooms! Pulsing pimples — swirling while a midnight sky brings forth a cacophony of cosmic screams! More impassioned raw-animal! More barking! more vibrations — more imminence! More sinewy limbs on show — ***** I’m looking at — lifeless grey body but voracious pink face! It licks and whimpers, suckles and ***** Shall I become a statue again? — glazed face with eyes sheers-white in precession of Venus? Hey! Taint! Milk it! :: 11.12. 2020 ::

EYEBALL GOD IN MOUTH
a ruddy thrush of experience 
artifacts your chest
 opal sheers of lineage
 marred by remains 
of precise and careful 
additions to a calcium
 body
 accented by a
 lightning storm quicksilver 
river 
coursing across neck
 and chest 
a mark to guide
 breaths of life into you

her scar :)
Wet skies Grey dawn Blankets the coast. Black rocks Sea foam Triggers the most Atlantic applause, An encore to those Just hearty enough To make a life on The Rock. And to answer the call, Between stone cracks, Moss roots, And squalls, A garden was planted Where nothing Had grown Before. Before... Before the Gardener came The coast was a love-lettered painting, A bouquet to the sun, Orange, red, and yellow flattery Through living imitation. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God," Said the sign On the gate At the edge of St Johns. "But I think I've finally found it," Said the man Creeping silent With his too sharp sheers Cutting flowers Uninvited. - - Everyone's front lawn A memory Of what united Them for two score years. ****** hands dropping pedals on his way to the shore, "Don't worry," said the man, "I don't want to come back, With any luck," he said again, "I think this should be enough." As he placed in the arrangement A note that read, "Je suis Désolé. Bitte fragen Sie nicht Für mehr." 100 years ago, July 1st, 1916, the entire Newfoundland and Labrador regiment was killed at Beaumont-Hamel, during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. Of 780, only 68 reported for roll-call the next day. After 40 some years of having no military of their own, they had mustered up a unit of volunteers to support the war effort. 90% of them never made it through their first engagement. Canada Day isn't just about celebrating.

The Gardener
Roses have thorns for a reason. If they were all beauty with out defense Those hard, sharp edges Extending from their stems They would be easily plucked and clipped Taken advantage of. They would be used For some hideous centerpiece That would be adored for a few hours Than ignored for weeks Until the water turned black Leaves rotted and decayed The petals dry out and fall Leaving bare stem remains. Leave me in my garden Where I am surrounded by friends The daffodils, lilies, white chrysanthemums. The hard working bees Could make delicious honey From my sweet nectar That would be taken to the hive And served to the Queen. The words I speak Are my thorns Verbal warnings That I am not to be reckoned with. Release your the sheers Remove your greedy hands Grab me like that again My thorns will make you bleed You will be sorry. Truthfully speaking, You will never be a rose. Even if you tried You would result as a **** A blight, a disease Pulled from the ground immediately. You are a hideous creature. A monster. Without you I am stronger. I am not a dandelion anymore Easily destroyed From a meager blow. Let me alone I am a Rose.

I work too much to think, I think too much to work. one minute I'm playing games, trying hard to stay sane, and then at my face I stare, trying to fix my hair. funny how time flies, when you're doing twenty things at once, I'm not the other guys, it's been way to many month. it's funny isn't it? you try hard to keep your mental, but your mental is detrimental to potential to have potential. I despise the way you cry in the rain to hide the pain, when you try to hide the tears, and shelter all your fears, it's been way too many years, so you change it with the sheers, one hair at a time, counting down all of the crimes that happened to your life as you're reaching for the knife, screaming on the inside, but my words you don't abide when I'm trying. I'm just trying. ****** I'm trying. I'm trying. I walk away in a silent vision of all things that are violent. changing the description of faults, you default back into the shell as if it were your fault, but it's none but their own from what the records show. And I try to make you see that inside my eyes you'll see a soul that's ment to be the reason that you breathe. but my words you don't abide, but I'm trying. I'm just trying. I can see, that you're trying. I'm trying. Delirious to the mysterious succession of the furious fears that settled in to the demons that are near to us and thus we make them dear to us. my friend you are just missing out on what your life could be all about. a future that you surely doubt but realise that you're finally out. so wipe away the salted wounds that only you can see and despite all of the water you have to let yourself breathe because you're free. but my words you don't abide but I'm trying. I'm just trying, she not special but you're trying. In the end do you love? or perhaps it was lust? or perhaps it was a must, for you to claim your trust. that you lost from your past? as a child you didn't last very long in a fight internally ignited by the crazed human beings that you said you wanted to show you your affection? instead of dereliction of a fantasy of perfection? and I read all of your sections and my words you don't abide even though I try. and man, I am trying. stop fighting it and try. I'm just trying. Albeit that you must realize who I am. I'm ashamed of what I was, I'm ashamed of what I became. I could never hide my sin, and I never could fit in, no matter friend or kin. so I hide the voice within trying to tell me to let them in. but what you know is just the skin. and you see. the skin sheds. as it dies, it tries to hide. and me? I'm just trying. so a hermit I will become. because all I do is try. and for now. I'm done trying.

He wakes every morning  To stare into the mirror  And wonder when his face  Turned like elephant skin; For all his mind recalls Is a memory of a laughing girl Who pulled the ribbons from her hair, Until one day she stole his sheers To carpet the floor  With black raven wings, All because she longed to drink From the basket of life, But in his animal-instinct weakness He cut the cord From the source  To her lips.

Where her preponderance takes over rainbows will overtaketh thy dark cloud, the phantism of her queen screen projection is for all to daydream of!!! What a riddle shell leave you upon thy emptied tray, her mysticism and mystification can leave a bruise upon thy name!!! An atlas of lost time, shell pursue to all oceanic depths, a mall thief of unbelief, she just could pile all thou has left!!!! An intensive heart throb to maximum proportions, she will jeer you to distortion if thouest forget her special occasions!!! How lovely is thy own grass when it withers? Still leaving behind sheers of myrtle grove? She will dissavow your heated warm loathe.... Discerning one, disclose me all the way, where is thy key to ones disorderly dungeon? The embellishment to all real estate!!!! One whom I can fascinate and rellish to mine and hers own doings!!!!!!!

He didn't like the flowers that sprouted beneath my collarbone. He hated the red oak and the fruit that I'd grown. So I plucked every petal, brought sheers to my throat No longer my haven, I was a garden of smoke. Now he holds my wilted pieces with a face of disgust and decides an empty garden is just too much fuss.

I was once a garden
Mother Nature, green-thumbed, with eyes of purpose, with floor length gowns, went about her morning gardening. Singing to her crops of we, the skin of her feet tracing mountains and reefs, granting rain to the thirst farmer patch, her scent driving men to humility. Lungs filled sharp as she winced her eyes, at the sight of blood she grit her teeth. The urban thorns were growing now and choking blossoms of unity. Remnants of her song now ghost, the sky grew dark as she approached. She snipped, with hurricane-force sheers, and trimmed Louisiana's coast.

Watch movies about daughters who killed their fathers, you are obsessed with paintings that are crude words written in children’s crayons, and your wife exhausts you, you can’t stand how her shoes match her gardening sheers, your house is intentionally or unintentionally patriotic red doors, blue shutters, white vinyl, hey I’m successfully sedated, it’s so much easier this way, I don't even have to drink scotch to fall asleep by 10, "at least I don't have to pay women to **** me," I was proud of you for that one, everyone tells you "I’m one of the good ones," chairs set in an illuminati triangle around the dinner table, you ask your daughter how school was, she says "spectacular," the poison trailing from her mouth to the carpet to your loafers, cameras everywhere, through the window, through the drapes your wife is on a dinner date with your boss, your wife is in a motel with your boss, your wife just wanted to **** a powerful man for once, you sell me **** in your garage, my dad sent me to an institution but I fall in love so easily, I watch your daughter in a shadow on the lawn at 11pm, I convince your daughter not to **** you, convince her to run away instead, hours of film of small private lives, the glare from the window pane not enough to obscure how embarrassing people are, but I love you for this, the best footage being inanimate objects dancing in the wind, it’s proof I think of forces in the world we don’t recognize at first til we feel them, then we can’t stop recognizing them, then we can’t stop trying to get them back, then we spend our whole lives in pursuit, of that evasive silent lightning strike, moments before a kiss from a beautiful sad girl, how it hurt a very specific part of our chests, but like in a good way; like in the best way possible.

Watch movies about daughters who killed their fathers, you are obsessed with paintings that are crude words written in children’s crayons, and your wife exhausts you, you can’t stand how her shoes match her gardening sheers, your house is intentionally or unintentionally patriotic red doors, blue shutters, white vinyl, hey I’m successfully sedated, it’s so much easier this way, I don't even have to drink scotch to fall asleep by 10, "at least I don't have to pay women to **** me," I was proud of you for that one, everyone tells you "I’m one of the good ones," chairs set in an illuminati triangle around the dinner table, you ask your daughter how school was, she says "spectacular," the poison trailing from her mouth to the carpet to your loafers, cameras everywhere, through the window, through the drapes your wife is on a dinner date with your boss, your wife is in a motel with your boss, your wife just wanted to **** a powerful man for once, you sell me **** in your garage, my dad sent me to an institution but I fall in love so easily, I watch your daughter in a shadow on the lawn at 11pm, I convince your daughter not to **** you, convince her to run away instead, hours of film of small private lives, the glare from the window pane not enough to obscure how embarrassing people are, but I love you for this, the best footage being inanimate objects dancing in the wind, it’s proof I think of forces in the world we don’t recognize at first til we feel them, then we can’t stop recognizing them, then we can’t stop trying to get them back, then we spend our whole lives in pursuit, of that evasive silent lightning strike, moments before a kiss from a beautiful sad girl, how it hurt a very specific part of our chests, but like in a good way; like in the best way possible.

I’m Picking you Picking you Picking you out And Bleeding you, bleeding you, bleeding you dry with The Sharp sheers of my too clever coffee-lipstick-stained Lord And the garden variety scorn you Rose-hipped hipsters Said Your rosy glasses and tinted cheeks proclaimed, and: I’m Casting you Casting you Casting you out The Immortal, infallible garden of meaningful Man And his poetry-stained bedsheets and love bites Has Taken to candle lit vigil nights and too tall pedestals, has Become More or less himself, of himself, for himself, for nothing, really, One With smug sadness and the proud self-aware death Of Self-proclaimed martyrdom sold to Us Twenty-five percent off at Walmart. I’m Taking you Taking you Taking you down To My level, (game over, hit restart) Know That you were always player two and Good Intentions are nothing more than fancy dress And On your sleeve sit a collection of hearts, Evil, They pave the way to hell.

Rose-Hipped Hipster
Flakes of mica and diamonds Scattered on the cold, grey floor Reflecting the faces of yesteryears And people forgotten Rotten memories eaten at the core Histories erased, scorched and burned By our own fires at heart and word Sheers for cutting crystal And teeth for devouring silver Bending the True Gold with its lips And justifying pyrite and iron For what did change That living truths would become deceased to the worldly That poisoned deceit come of value to the trade and less to traitors? For who did slide his alluring hiss to Manipulate and falsify The common thought? Insight from the outside Forced but widely accepted Did bind what smooth tongued statements Then blinded to what has been bound Add that desire has been labeled “the sacred emotion” Love has been fired down And showered by water like William Blake’s To grow a new love Secret identity: Lust But for its shaded reality must mean A hero A tolerant, but unloving hero Or heroine

What Follows the Poison Tree
. Whispering apricot beams shine upon frilly sheers, lazy shadows dance in daffodil dawn colours, pirouettes of pleasured moments, silently flowing on smooth brush stroke walls You breathe, softly, the sweetest sonnet, rhythmically exhaling beneath satin sheets symphonic…bringing a grin to the sunrise, blushing clouds hide behind a bashful horizon Placing a gentle kiss upon rose petal shoulders, you stir ever so slightly…eyes flutter, chiffon wings hugging the pillow wistfully, floating within, cascading between dreams of us Exploring the mesmerizing curves of your body, my lips touch warm porcelain skin, the faintest sigh escapes, a smile appears as your wispy fingers seek my own A purr escapes, whispered desires sooth, tranquil thighs twitch as they part slightly, the sweetest scent tempts me, awash in dewdrop bliss, glistening beads of summer rain memories Probing gentle folds, serene recesses of silken slivers sipping the morns perfect elixir, ambrosia, seeing your eyes wide open now and falling once more deeply into their hypnotic beauty Maple sugar cravings, slippery pearlescent glimmers, tasting your flavors as methodical moans sift dawns hush, drippings linger my lips…nectarous indulgence, essence of honeysuckle breezes *Hands ****** my hair, wavy lengths, grasping*   tickling heated embraces, melting into the morning reaching beneath arching form…pulling nearer, closer quilted comfort massages Sunshine illumines the room with sparkled effervescence, writhing deep into the blue sky destinations, azure visions of springtime promises kept and green grass wanderings I rise with you, fall with you…with this perfect time,   mirroring movements in reflective crescendos, rapidly, as your voice sings my name, feathered pillow melodies, ending in an ovation in hummingbird quivers And you collapse, tethered breaths, tiny giggles pulling the sheets tight to your chin playfully I peer up, cinnamon eyes gleam, twinkle rejoicing as brand new day begins…in love

One hundred years ago My Mammy was just three, The exact same age as me, When she sailed us across the sea, All those years ago. Just lately,  just now, I said Mammy's Mammy's name out loud. What was that, I asked. For sure her name's not been said For many, many years. Margaret Duffy A dog barked. So I said my mother's: Mammy A breeze furled the window sheers. The dog continued to yelp, So I said her other names louder: Brigid...........Nellie I will keep the wind inside me, And allow the dogs their day; Your names will still be called upon, In stress or tranquility.
