Reflexes

I just gush about you melt
Semi-circle cannot help
Call it reflex impulse
That crumbles oblivion peripheral

There is none other like you
There is not one other
as you
There are no others conceivably who

Claim focus

So I write her a poem

tacit sight texture tactile

Appetites

And we so fever famished
baited breath
salivating

infectious inflectious delicacies

intonation modulation
appetites invoking

she is his for filling
swilling
fine drink
sumptuous ravishing

She drips olives calamari
Barolo wine
Stilton

Our parched palates
tongue
stoke smoked salmon spawning

loins rare sirloin
tartar oyster tang

we anticipate
such orgy
magnificent gorge
delirious feasting
our communion consuming

Oxygen

We all ferment
A face can change but souls stay young
We're all connected
So take a journey with someone
Learn to be as one
Still living, sinking, falling, twisting
But I'm beathing you in
Breathing you in
Oxygen
Oxygen
We all ferment
A taste can change from days so young
You feel rejected Just hold your head up to the sun
Learn to be as one
Still living, sinking, falling
We're still living, drifting
I'm beathing you in
Breathing you in
Still living, sinking, feeding, twisting
I'm living
I'm breathing you in
Breathing you in
Disconnecting
Oxygen

Still living, sinking, falling, twisting
We're still living
I'm breathing you in
Breathing you in
Still living, sinking, falling, drifting
We're living
I'm breathing you in
Breathing you in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm breathing you in
Breathing you

Kicked A Dog To Death

When that hound
Came around
The first time
It was wagging its tail
We were all smiles
We were all smitten
No one could know
I'd kick the dog to death

Oh when we lay out on the beach
Burning in the sun
The wind playing tricks
On the heat we thought we felt
Another of nature's illusions
There was no way of knowing
There was no way to guess
I'd kick that dog to death

I made a joke
You made a mess
And we both lay in bed
Eyes wide and hearts beating
Trying to focus my thoughts
You were trying to focus your thoughts
But we would have never thought
I'd kick a dog to death

I was living
You were living
We were breathing
Like it was all we knew to do
You were staring
My mind was snapping
Like it was all I knew to do
The dog was barking
The day descending
Like it was all it knew to do
I heard it growling
I heard you screaming
And my body answered the moment
And I kicked a dog to death

In those slow beating moments
Right there on the pavement
All the sounds of the world faded out
The contrast of the colours increased
You were on mute in my head
But you were saying something
Over and over
On mute in my head
As the dog lay there dead

I was living
You were living
We were breathing
Like it was all we knew to do
The dog was bleeding
The pavement darkening
Like it was all it knew to do
The sound slowly came back
The colours returned
Like it was all they knew to do

Waking that morning
We could never have known
We would never have guessed
I'd kick a dog to death
The moments before it
All erased
The years before it
All erased
When I kicked a dog to death
Like it was all I knew to do...

Land Of The Living

i found myself
in another world
i found myself
alive and well

i am the vapor
i am the gas
you be the angel
of everything

this is the land of the living
this is the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the living
the living

i lost myself
too wide a plane
i opened up
i'm not the same

i am electric
made of wire
you be the match
i'll be the fire

this is the land of the living
this is the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the living
the living
the living

in myself i try for you
walk a thousand miles to get us through
airways
jet planes
safe landings
no branding

land
land

this is the land of the living
the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the land of survival
survival

land

this is the land of the living
the living
the living

Last Living Souls

Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Take a gun
Or how you say
That's no way you behave
Just a law, a new begin
Sing a song that doesn't sin
And it grows
Hey, you know
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last to get away to some another day?
Do we know
Well, we know
Doesn't seem to be complete
Are we, are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Get up, get up, get up, get up...
What you say?
Cause all I was on
I got it down wrong
I see myself to get
And the Lord, seeing all now
Can you take us in
The part that comin' on
The coldest man doesn't see it's all
We go to the car
I see you walk to the far
And when you get there do you see
You fit the last you need on me
Cause we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Yeah, we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls

Living God

Living God
Maker of all the heaven and earth
We want to worship you
Living God
You are the prince of peace
The master of the universe
Living God
We are your children
We will never forget you
And you will never forget us either
Living God
We give all the glory to you
Living God
You take away our sins
Living God
We are not perfect like you
So I hope you understand this
Because we are human beings
And we have our faults also
Living God
You are worth to be praise
Living God
Take the place of all the power
Living God
Behold, it comes in might,
The power that is power,
The light that is in darkness,
The shade in dazzling light
It is joy that never spoke,
Living God

Who's Living With That Mission?

Who here,
Lives to dance and sing?
Who here,
Lives to hear the birds singing?
And who here,
Lives their life just to give?
Who's living with that mission?

Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?

Who here,
Wakes up to give a damn?
Who here,
Demands to give a helping hand?
And who here,
Knows that peace has a chance?
Who's living with that mission?

Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?

Who here,
Thinks about their fellowman?
Who here,
Gives their neighbor understanding?
And who here,
Wants the bleeding done by man...
To end and please them?

Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?

Who here,
Thinks about what is right?
Who here,
Wants to do that day and night?
And who here,
Prays conflicts and fights
Would end!

Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?

Who here,
Lives to dance and sing?
Who here,
Lives to hear the birds singing?
And who here,
Lives their life just to give?
Who's living with that mission?

Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?

And who here,
Wants the bleeding done by man...
To end and please them?

Who's living with that mission?

Who's living with that,
As ambition?
To live to give as a mission?

Bound

THE DELICIOUSLY NAUGHTY FAERY TALE OV ALCHEMIC LASCIVITY

CHAPTER III: THE BLACK WORK

(excerpt)

BOUND

Stalemate
Many moves ago
Grand Master's magical deadlock

We invoked each other
We provoked each other
She revoked me for another

But I gave her my word
Pledged for life

She cannot forgive me
I can her
We cannot forgive ourselves

My word is my bond
There is no release

Time runs short
I am in a bind

Smokin through his medicine head.
Watch him get down to the unreal voodoo
And shove it to the living dead.

Whats happenin, found his face in a bad dream, momma?
(flying on the dead of the night)
I woke up and then I let out a bad scream, ooh!

Rolling thunder said, ya got this one started
What happened there, did the kid get high, high?
All the dog soldiers shootin uncoke-a-cola
Get em dancin til they lose their minds.
Incantation, (oo-oo-oo) ah, yeah!

Menno Krant's Cat

Mister Menno is playing
With a polydactyl cat
They both the rarest of breeds
Are do such without trying

Possessing unique dexterity
Demarking originality
God broke their elegant mold
There are no copies

She is at his easel impromptu
Chasing oily slippery cherry
Furtive follow for their forage
Flowing frantic feather frenzy

As his paint brushes
She brushes
Lunges violent
Leaping luscious

There is grace
Bewildering beauty
Prolific peculiar proclivities

Affinity between
Their very own and mutual
Pristine primeval sensibilities

They are purring perfect
Magnificent exquisite
Dancer-Painter symbiosity

They sweep stride brush bold beholding

Yet they are oblivious mutations enraptured
Supernatural organic process
Muted in their understandings less stated

Incomparable magnificent mutual organics
Original exclusive castings

I wrestle with sensibility

Dollhouse

Well ever since you were a little girl
You set the rules in your little world
But girls grow up and throw their toys away
Youre a big girl now but you still wanna play
(girl were living)
You dress them up the way you want to
(girl were living)
You make them do just what you want them to do
(girl were living)
Once I thought we had a love that was true
But Im just another doll in your dollhouse to you
Were living in a dollhouse
Were living in a dollhouse
Girl were living in a dollhouse
You may feel safe and sound
But your dollhouse, girl, is falling down
Its all been neatly arranged in your mind
Every detail fits your own design
Every room is perfectly in place
But I can see the sadness, baby, on your face
You had a plan and darling like a child
You thought its down to fashion, down to style
But your little dreamhouse is runnin wild
Before your very eyes were shrinking down to size
Were living in a dollhouse
Were living in a dollhouse
Girl were living in a dollhouse
We may feel safe and sound
But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down
Everythings as you dreamed it would be
But theres something wrong that you cant see
Room by room you keep looking for some little flaw
A crack somewhere in your dollhouse wall
Something, girl, that will explain away
The hurt you feel, darling, when we play
Your little dolls they got a grip on you
Until youre just another doll in your dollhouse too
Were living in a dollhouse
Girl, were living in a dollhouse
Oh were living in a dollhouse
We may feel safe and sound
But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down
Oh were living in a dollhouse
Girl, were living in a dollhouse
Yeah were living in a dollhouse

LETTER TO YOUNG POETS

Beware of those bearing outrageous professions and promises. For they shall only break each and every one of them- often when you are most vulnerable. They will be replace with threats, infidelity and unimagined dishonesty. Lest such come as any surprise, or suddenly. Be grateful for the fantastic illusions which they fed you- fuel for finer poetry.

Write as you must, but do not haste to publish with any sense of immediacy. Review the pieces ages later, marking growth for journey.

Above all:
Be grateful for the well-earned lessons learned, rare slim jewels of exquisite poetry; expecting nothing else in return. For it was their acting which fed you, moved you; so hungered for ink-spill willing. Expect such and that only.

Your experience is truly the least uncommon. Try as you may- we are all too human. So strive that your poetry be truthful, wise, humourous, distinct, sensual, moving, exceptional as extraordinary; inspired of horrors' temporal folly- from the profane and mundane unto ageless bewildering beauty.

Be kind to yourself. Remain healthy. Life and poetry only grow the more rewarding.

Liter scripta manet.

You're my Angel

You're an Angel that nobody can see,
Still an Angel is what you are to me
An angel from heaven is what you are
In my sky you're definitely a heavenly star

You're an angel with beauty & grace
You're so kind & sweet,
you have an angel’s face
You have a pair of angel’s wings
Happiness and joy are just some things
That an angel can give

In my heart & mind is where you're living
You have hair as soft as the white clouds
A guardian angel is what I have gotten.
Your eyes are like sapphires that shine bright.
When everything is dark, you give me light.

You're an angel that gives me a reason to live,
You're an angel that teaches me to give.
You're an angel that teaches me the right things to say.
You're my angel & Ill always care.
You're my angel & you know Ill always be there.
