HINDER

Syncopated sorrows
searing through used flesh
Pain crystals beat point-blank
aiming toward frayed chest

Why wicked, this showy
when it comes to feed
And hidden in deepest
preternatural need

Requisite breeds soldiers
and its army thrives
Military bases
cold trembling hives

Slow salute forced combat
trudging forward fight
Solemn cry faintly heard
war-racked silent night

Sun hinders the darkness
creep away the beast
Retreat back to the light
anxious achy feast

Gnash away gnarly teeth
fleeting safety met
Deceiving asylum
child eyes not earned yet

Inevitable join
this eve or afar
Heal in sunlit hallows
wear the scars that mar

PASSING PAIN

Guilt embraces like metal thorns
Surmised sin fraught and deeply worn
Let tears through guardian lashes
An end of blood-hot to ashes

Over-indulging reveries
And wicked one-way fantasies

Turbid smoke permeates my wounds
The color of anemic moons
A stifling cue of creeping fire
I wince against the taut barbed-wire

Graceful love like healing fingers
Massaging soul touch that lingers
Allow joy to draw through ripe veins
A splendid finish line remains

Conjure good and visualize
Healthy daydreams to realize

Intimate tact beating my heart
Tangible strokes creates raw art
Grazing palpus reminds the brain
I hug notions of passing pain

THE HUMAN QUANDARY

SENSUAL HOMO-SAPIEN
FLESHY FEET OF CLAY
COSMOPOLITAN NOMAD
WITH
IMMORTAL LIVING SOUL

MERCURIAL ANTHROPOID
KINETIC BEAST OF EARTH
TEMPORAL CARNAL CREATURE
AND
ANIMAL FATALITY

SAFETY

Sometimes
I sleep,
my eyes
pinned open
by lucid needles.
Orbs leaking
because
dry will
bring
an extinct thirst
originating
in
nearby
ripened
nuclei.
Transparent skewers
rending
ancient saline
exterior.

Sometimes
I wake up,
my eyes
sewn shut
by
invisible threads.
I cry silent
since
loud will
ruin
the only safe
created
by
distant
childlike
synapses.
Organic fibers
keeping
infantile tears
intestinal.

DAMN.

Scream, hear you, why so loud, so insistent?
What am I missing, is it really that friggin' obvious?
Can't be.
All I need is to do what?
It's not that easy, clarity I need.
I am failing to see a link.
The most and the least important.
I have the end and the beginning.
The middle, the middle?
Really?
Why is that the answer?
No, the beginning...
The end...
The end hasn't ended yet, so is the answer my ending?
I think action will lead me to my ending.
My beginning becomes changed if I change the end?
Drat!
Always stuck with that: a question of action, and my motives are to judge.
Scary realities, too much, too handle.
So I careen, forward without meaningful...
For this reason: safety.
It's key to sleep, to create, to dream, to love.
So many things hinging.
So then how do i feel safe creating my end? 
That's the quandary and the answer: all at the same time, damn!

BRING TO NAUGHT

I

shut

my eyes

sensing

a thought.

It graces my presence.

Only it is so

fleeting,

leaving

my tongue

of burnt shadows

singed

at the sides,

like old love letters.

If only so tangible.

Grasp it fast

would edify.

But i cower from it:

the result.

Thinking

knowledge is lethal,

I will let the savor

suffice.

By

reason logical:

fear

plus

enlightenment

equals

failure.

And bringing to naught

is

poison.

Paltry

yet

potent.

MAKING THE BED

YOU ARE MESSING UP MY BED
OFTEN TIMES ITS LEAD
PLURALIZE PLEASE THE MISSION
COMING TO FRUITION
CAN YOU MAKE IT?
YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
JUST NEVER MIND
I'LL NEVER FIND
SOMEONE
TO COMPLETE
THE COVERS
ON MY BED.

8/29/10

SEARCHLIGHT

I can't find them,
body cold.
Hello lover,
under sold.

Lady get it
in my gut.
Sever it like
silver smut.

Incognito
all around.
Kisses blown, but
never found.

Maybe warming
blood it flows
from deeper heart
out my toes.

I can see it
through the veil.
Almost alive,
grunting male.

Mixing the two
in my brain
causes meltdown,
darkest pain.

But i endure
somewhat there.
Flickering, not
worse for wear.

I can find them
I just learned.
Earn light love, and
evil's spurned.

8/29/10

BIRTHDAY

erupt from cozy armored skin
unsure limbs reach out for depth
outraged breath shakes surrounding ears
watery orbs search for comfort
in that angled
unfolding face
of just seconds
before the light

8/21/10

SCARS

My scar will be better
Deeper turning black
Cut it open
Keep moving
Mom
That fucking hurts
All muscle
Worst pain
Mom
Pictures
Then curse

8/7/10

COMPOSITION

Inside, my string of thoughts
Lie
To me
Saying
Candied words are more important,
Liberal dollops of twist will suffice,
And much grammar can be thrown out.

Outside, my docile tongue
Reads
Aloud
Singing
Truth leaps around the drabbest notes,
Blunted lyrics are accepted,
And fancy counts can be embraced.

8/3/10

SPIDERFLEX

hold it steady
one last time
endure the raw
creeping jolt
ZAP
manage tidy
unleashed cells
intricate web
of clear flesh
GLEAM
sentry feels it
unfold ripe
faceted eyes
beating down
SPY
wicked needles
count to eight
poky black limbs
padding near
STALK
silky tendrils entomb bzzz
poison whispers
pinch the loud
HUSH

8/3/10

REFLEX

Slow motion (easier
angles relax and soften)
proves nothing special.

7/30/10

ME WORDS

Absent minded prophecy
Beating in my chest
Writing aching hand
Ragged manifest

Twisted words they come
Creeping down my arm
Scrawling jotty letters
Quickly taking form

Coming from the deep
Scrambling into sight
Ambling into place
Tetris-angled light

Ink meeting paper
Passion flutter free
Out in the open
Absolutely me

7/25 or 26/10

BLUES

I SING THE BLUES
BETWEEN SHOCKS DOWN
MY SPINAL CORD.
I TEND THE BEAT,
KEEPING AT BAY
MY DEMON SWORD.
I LEARN THE STEPS
AFTER BUGS ROT
MY DANCING HOLE.
I KNOW THE SONG,
NAMING IT WELL;
MY DOUBLE SOUL.

7/17/10

CAPTURE

Heart's eyes are crying.
Seeing pain reflect off flesh.
Salty sinew tomb.

7/17/10

TIMES

sometimes i fly
else i'm falling
it is just hard
finding the strength
but i prevail
my soul intact
slowly changing
times to always

7/15/10

TANGLED SUNNY

Hear my tangled insides erupt
onto ash-free
ears.
Tainted belly of crier's past
rending acid
tears.
Dance around mottled cricket chirps
deep beneath the
beat.
Colored iris and brow be wet
surging through the
heat.
Wide scream at clouded frailties
over mountain-
tops.
Solar melt disdain into pools
stringing timid
drops.
Mask the enduring up and down
joyous end to
come.
Make this growth a sunny soul one
anything but
numb.
