Finding Face
--------------
He found the face on the side of the road
it had been beaten, but he needed to pick it up,
it screamed at him to put it down
but he looked at it even harder close-up.
It yelled at him to throw it down
------
and kick it and throw dirt at it,
the man couldn't do what the face asked
for he'd fallen in love within a minute.
The man spit on the face, and it smiled
but he took his handkerchief from his pocket,
and he dabbed the face with it, he smiled
the face began to cry: no one before had loved it.
The man used the face's tears to clean it
and the job was done very quickly,
Fortunate Young Devil
-------------------------
The fortunate young devil
found a crust to eat,
a sliver of an oat
crushed beneath it's feet.
He thanked his Master well
and ate the thing he found,
a sliver of an oat
molding on the ground.
He laughed and sung and danced
for the night was new again,
and he would now go hunting
for the things he knew as "men".
They were seldom seen
in his dark and brooding land,
but the fortunate young devil
hoped a hunt would be at hand.
He would track and impale
any Adam or Eve he could,
grateful for the rotted oat
that tasted like burnt wood.
The Devil
-----------
The Devil saw me thinking,
said "A penny for your thoughts."
I said "Okay." and took his money,
now I can't remember what I was thinking of...
Are We The Storm?
Something finds its purpose in the night
and howls of its delight,
on iridescent horizon, the Storm-Bringer appears
and the billowing lightning bank nears.
Racing moisture marbles the starscape
its light is suffocated; no escape,
are we the storm? Finding solstice in rain
are we the storm? Feeding on the pain.
Armageddon In Sunlight
Red horizon ribboned in white
blue sky turned pink with fire
the gray cold air suffers a blistering strike
and the elemental rapture ...all of it...
Electric green spiked across turquoise
red blood turned black with rot
the silver strike of damned demon lightning
and the cursed earth ...all of it...
Airless horizon littered with life
blue planet turned black with rot
black flame lights and comforts the Earth
Armageddon in sunlight; ribboned with lightning.
Beddy-Bye!
----------
I'm looking all around me
but cannot see a thing,
and the voices that I hear
are a little more than witching.
I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling
and the laugh comes from under the bed,
and I think that it might be mine
but the laugh sounds too cold and dead.
I pull the covers tight
and look over the side,
and I see a pair of feet
pulled underneath to hide.
I hear the laugh again
and I think I'll start to scream,
but won't it be waiting for me
to spout and stream blaspheme?
I have to look under the bed
before I totally loose my wits,
my eyes turn into widened saucers
by God, you'll never believe, i
Budding Wings
-----------------
Finally,
on it's back,
the beast admitted defeat.
It's eyes were still only moments,
before it rose to it's feet.
It's mind was now unclouded,
it was ready for it's reward.
But it had forgotten it's final task:
it would have to taste it's makers sword...
Life Is A Circus Circus
It was a dark blue morning sky, and the hay smelled sweet on
the ground,
In the distance a man yelled at an elephant, the boy laughed
to himself at the sound.
Something to his right ruffled a tent flap with a GROWL!,
And he heard a man in there yelling, screaming, gargling and
then a howl.
He looked up to his father, who was smiling from ear to ear,
He was looking around, ignoring the sounds that his son
thought he couldn't hear.
"Come see the Circus, Circus of the wondrous!" the carnival
barker yelled,
It blasted through the circus with the megaphone that the
man held.
"See the Headless man! And the jar
Christine
----------
Fire engine red
and faster than Jesus on a Harley,
she couldn't be caught
running, with a lover like Arnie.
He'd power up her engine
and race her all night long,
She'd power up his soul
and encase his heart, Evil strong.
Sixty-five, seventy-five,
eight-five, ninety,
the faster she goes
the more they get hungry.
Evil incarnate
blazing down the highway,
better get out of her way
or you'll be standing where you lay.
Contact
The masses of dawn
Stood there and gazed,
With awe and wonder
Of the silent doors upraised.
The guns were down
And scopes unattended,
When the light was fourth coming
And the beings descended.
