"shotten" poems
The Raven flies,
But just to die,
For the children that it bears,
Bit of the hand that fed them
In a land bereft claimed fair.
A world where god bids all to live
When they say “If we dare”.
A place where all that was is not,
Yet The Raven does not care.
The Raven, dead,
Its children fed,
Its life, long forgotten.
Covered in red,
They laid their heads,
Leftovers, ever rotten.
With its soul fled,
The life it lead,
Its memory now shotten,
The land it left ignored its death,
And upon it grew soft cotton.

Fragile cosmos; not expanding but exploding what it wished were a
soulful, solitary display
All of His contemplations;
a quarry of quandry for
which the upper depths of
space are the baseline
Stars, no longer an expression of a
dying Son, ethearalize upon a canvas that can either
crush The Father
or remain
painted on the dark side of the
moon; a face mistaking it's
frown for a grin, nobody to correct him
Of His own volition;
a never-ending shift of balances
throwing Everyone into it's tantric evolution
Shotten wishes, raining onto the unawakened
Hushed gasps collapsing into
vacuous nothingness

Your softest nature elicits returns
With silver charms and gold tooth smiles,
And your love for fellow mankind burns,
Your existence free of turmoil and trials.
When people defend your ranks and reputes
And are willingly kind when speaking your name,
Your character fine in practice recruits
Alliances forged, animosities tamed.
No fist that is hidden within a velvet glove
Nor sleight or disdain so worthless and shotten,
And all is good and fair in love
And war is ever to be forgotten.
But see how soon your prized elation
Is made to fail and crash to Earth,
From super gliding elevation
To ditch go falling in scathing mirth.
And how you turn like the change of season,
You come, incognito, dark wings furled.
Tempestuous and wild without rhyme or reason,
Caught and lost between two worlds.
What difference in words of you now spoken
When you, your reputation embrown,
Your wings unfurled will soon be broken
And your saintly crown falls
Down
Down
Down
