Stare Down

Stare Down

I've been shushed 
by better

been chastised
by wiser

been blasted
by stronger

but 

that gaze

you just 
threw
my way

devastates

looks can kill
looks can maim

my life
will never
be the same 

End Game

End Game

Off in the
rapidly
diminishing
distance

the end 
of us all
is coming


relentlessly
advancing
on our 
once great
Empire

we tried to 
stop it

tried to 
delay it

destiny and fate
those bitch hounds

coming to
wreck the party

soon to be memory

brought down
by our own
arrogant
stupidity

Stick Dancing

Stick Dancing

Lonely
stick man

fancies

frustrated
stick girl

buys her
a drink

she concurs
for
she's lonely too


the evening
goes to 
her head

loosens
up
her
inhibitions

desires
released
in the back seat

she does
down on
his wood

up goes
stick man's
joystick

too much
pressure

he snaps in 
two


boo hoo
hoo

stick girl
still
frustrated

Hot Front

Hot Front


Storm clouds
roll in

take cover!

force of nature
blowing hard
over me

this was unexpected

not prepared
for her force 

I resist
she persists

I concede

She proceeds
to ravage
me

now my body
belongs
to her 
totally

next time
I will ride
and not
resist
her whirlwind

Telescopic Droppings

Telescopic Droppings


I'm reading 
the obituaries
short story
tragedies

death check

old peoples hobby
morbid curiosity 

sadly saw
a past pal 
of yesterday
passed away


we'd lost touch
in the drifts of time

use to be close
this dead man 
and I

no big blow up
or juicy
confrontation

we just
disconnected

the deceased
past pal 
memory

of course

be me

Iron Fisted

Iron Fisted 


Rules

we got em
we need em
we enforce em

structure parameters

boundaries to contain

control the sheep
 
We CRUSH those
who stray

who dare
not to 
obey

We reject 
and deny
your timid
protestations

GET IN LINE!
GET IN LINE!!
GET IN LINE!!!

Let There Be Light

Let There Be Light 


Sunday mourning

church bells 
ring hollow

calling the
congregation
to bear witness
to the latest
stained glass disgrace

the dogma sinner
is brought in

head bowed

to be excommunicated
by the corrupt
bishop
clad in a 
pointy white hat

gold crucifix
on his neck

lace black
thong panties
beneath
his robe
of hypocrisy

Mother Church
look within

pray for all sinners

starting with your own

fiat lux !!

Seance Dance

Seance Dance


Tap tap tap

table top
symphony

direct from 
the afterlife

holding hands
doing the
seance dance

spirits enter
our dimension
through
cosmic doors

earthbound souls
interactively link
with the great
beyond

charade you say?


perhaps maybe

but no harm
playing a game
we to want play

if death is a door
to the other side

let's knock on it
and see who answers

Dream Domain

Dream Domain



When you 
find yourself
stuck in a place
you don't want to be

don't despair

imagination the key

close your eyes

find the sweet spot
of imagination


and reside in
the daydream
for awhile

Abra Cadaver

Abra Cadaver


Now appearing
on the great 
global stage

limited engagement
closing soon

The Great Garbo
Magic Show

here we go

PAY ATTENTION!!!

now you see him
now you don't

all a smoke screen

invisible
puppet strings

all an illusion

just like us

watch your step

leaving the
theatre of
the blurred

Light Fantastic

Light Fantastic


Darkness black
void of light

heartache
regret

darkness black

nothing seen

life without
vision

is life
without hope

so we need
to see

we need to
believe

do not despair

send up a flare

and let 
the world
know

you are
there

Out of Place

Art gallery

picture show...

Pretty mural scenes

purely serene...

Tarantula

crawls up the wall... 

Oblivious to it all...

Patrons scream...

Women flee...

All because

the visitor looks creepy...

So unfair

to be stereotyped..

Security arrives..

Excessive force applied...

Unpopular spider dies.. 

It's squished body stain cleaned..

Once again the scene is pristine..

Like the intruder was never there..

But it was..

And so were we...

Witness to the cruelty

of a repressive society

that can't tolerate diversity 

Daily Value

Daily Value


Tis written
in a book of
note

ashes to ashes
dust to dust

we all be
for a limited
time only

ALL OF US

we are fated
to be citizens
of the clouds
someday

looking
down 
on the ground
we once tread

before time
rose up and
stamped us
dead

so live
each
precious day
like it may
be your last

cause it 
just may

Stunted Love

Stunted love


My current love
Miss Perception

my elusive
charlatan


proclaims her
love for me
for all eternity

if I could 
simply define  

and somehow
justify

how a selfish guy 
like me

could love
anyone else
but myself

I had to let her go

cause I do not know
how to give her
what she needed 

now I be loveless
since I broke
up with myself

Out of Solitary

Out of Solitary


We are not alone 
in the Universe

We are not alone
on this Earth

We are not alone 
We are not alone

Open your 
despondent eyes

look around

Even in the
worst of times 

you are not
ALONE

Butterfly Ride

Butterfly Ride


Welcome to
the garden

we got 
fun and games 

butterfly 
looking fine


evening out
with the girls

flower hopping
cruising the scene

neon light show
visually attracts

flies into the bright
ZAP goes the night

butterfly autopsy

death by
electricity 

Blow Me Down

Blow Me Down


Unpeel me
like a banana

wrap around
my core

savor me
on your
tongue

love explosion

swallow my
essence

what's left
of spent me

you can
dispose of  

heartlessly

Spark Quest

Spark Quest


Can you feel it?


that chemical reaction
when we touched

charged particles
brush dancing
 
magnetic attraction
bonding us tight

you don't feel it?

no chemistry? 

guess I'm
just full of
static electricity
