POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Bitch
I feel somehow that they have mislabeled you
Perhaps just penned you in the wrong ink...
I'm not sure
It seems when I try to describe you, the idea goes sailing away and never anchors home
Slippery one might say...
As the man crawling beneath a rolled-over vehicle, slathered in blood and puke
Like the words that had beckoned to him "C'mon let's go for a ride..." now thoroughly lost
Nothing more then a few grueling moments in agony before it was just a memory and a phrase that didn't quite seem to fit...
Unreal....

Guilty Confession
I wish I could explain how your failure disappoints me...
How I somehow feel stained by your fault
Tarnished-- My regret filled shame washes over me in a suffocating wave
All but destroyed my heart lies stricken on the ground before me. Lifeless...
My love for you has beseeched me and not even my own choices can save you now
I feel that now without words to further express myself I am left with nothing
Nothing more to say or do or become... I have lost everything

Admirable Trash
As I approached this new anomaly I couldn't help but notice how seamlessly it danced...
Flowing through the street like a land-based whirlpool with the elegance of a veteran ballerina
It's distressed white plastic tutu left drifting freely, spinning into a pirouette in spite of it's singular audience
A defiant weed between sidewalk blocks--It's simple presence is a bolder then life statement

Behind The Curtain
She's right there... --My friend I mean
She doesn't have much to say but I can hear you now
Grey innocents in lieu of child-hearted tragedy...
I'm sorry.
I never knew you had made these plans for me now
Could you find it in your heart to condemn your love for me?
Just this once?
Fading white I feel we may never stray past this point...
As though when I turn the page the story you had tried to show me will be lost
Alas...
What have I now but a passing traveler's blessing??
Running...

I Vow To Be Free
Upon this parchment I scribe a vow...
To never turn away even if it burns my eyes to look...
To go on with-out fear of failure and to cast all doubts aside...
A vow to be ignorant of this plague of ignorance!
I solemnly swear that I will spit in the face of prejudice indignity and deface the figure-heads of unimaginative creationism
...And I will not back down nor shall I be deterred from that which is inspired!
I shall embrace freedom to it's fullest extent and will die upon compromise of that which I have deemed sacred.
This...

Sunday Oranges
Delicate tang spritzes the air with a sunshine kiss
Peeling so gently it's lady-like tenderness is an elegant tea party with white gloved fingers and daisies on the mantle
Her majesty will be pleased!
A romantic encounter of citrus delight and sun-bathed security in ever loving om and happiness
A candidate as sweet could never be asked for such a casual Sunday outing and for you my dear we are but a shared slice of raspberry accented pie
So powerful but yet so softly subdued...
Like piano ballads or string quartets it is here simply for...

It's In The Details
See the colours moving, watch them taking shape
Translucent green against florescent yellow, peeling away to red and then back again.
Imagination takes its toll where comprehension comes unglued and realism takes passenger on our journey down and into the unknown
Linking arms and taking the plunge. Delving further then our fore-fathers ever dared to enter
A prisoner of your own mind -- Lost in oblivion
Thoughts dribble into nonsense and mind transferal begins...
Quiet like a...

Static
Sitting quietly amongst the noise I travel on the horseless steel caravan
Seeds of guilt are planted and they cultivate restlessly in my mind...
Burning ignorance
Even as I scribe it plagues me!
My own anarchist desires as unique as an army lemmings -- How original...
My tongue is made of lead and my saliva mercury bullets
Unable or perhaps just unwilling to shut my yammering noise box, it spews relentless, babbling idiocy into my life's endeavours...
Acting as a veil blinds me to reason

Burying The Day
Organic cog machines belching smog and mechanical components siding to pass
A pale sickly yellow as though it's dying sun heart were bodily translucent for all to see...
Quickly they grab to their shovels and frantically begin burying their time in the muck!
The lot of them. Machines--rumbling, exhausting, rolling on by
All of them consumed with madness and plagued with burden
Spewing the sludge of the last X-generation, with the black clouds that never settle and storms that never rained...
All on their own, one by one

Ya' Feel Me?
While this is happening you will be my secret
Until this is over nobody will hear you crying out
But unless I let you go then the moon will fall
You must know I do this for you...
Clawing at the eyes that must see
Feel this release around you.
Intimate. Embrace. Soothing...
I need this.
Empowering me, I become weightless and soon float away...
To watch from above
Knowing exactly what has to happen
And dreading the day they ask of my return...

Blur
Apperating into the distance it flawlessly exceeds my view
Effortlessly sailing higher- transcending into the nothingness
Beyond the clouds and into the blue
Transpiring into what must of been the fabric of existence itself
A void of any distinguishable colour or shape
It's black, blue, grey aura is all that's left behind
Like lingering dreams in the dwindling morning hours- just before they fade to black and leave us in silence
Gazing out into the nothing around me, my feeble eyes hang motionless

Flood
Every little drop must consume
Every one completely as necessary as the last
Feasting on tears and blood of the innocent
All the while...
...Rising, Rising
Blacker then tar and twice as thick
It greets your open lungs with a kiss
Toxic and grey
All the while...
...Rising, Rising
Until all has been consumed
Quaking to the foundations
Decimating
All the while...
...Rising, Rising
