betrayal

a beatific grin

lit his face

while a knife he clutched

with feline grace

i stepped into dark

where friendship was

but i knew in my heart

what was lost

and i let me be stabbed

just to see what it felt like

it felt good

in a masochistic kind of way...

Complaints from the heart

This place aint big enough for all of we

that girl, her and she

veg pat

my veggie patch has grown
overgrown actually
with neglect

rabits have run away
with my carrots

people have run away with my
potatoes
or was it those damn pigs again?

rooting through the torn earth
I must replant
at least a little

for where would I be without my Veggie Patch?

Close brush with death by auto accident

The bend looms as the death angel swoons
You are his dinner tonight
When you scraped through you sighed
But would that sigh have been so much sweeter
Had the fuel in your tank reached the end of its meter?

Taking flight into the ultimate fire of Truth

The sky is light
the light
is sky
the Might
is right
you are not

we are lost
unless we
are right
and we forgot what
right was
when we chose
to fight
without reason

when shame failed
to correct
and faith failed
to survive
within us
we were forsaken
to become
dust
thrown
into the fire
at the complete
mercy of Him

Fake Party People

Parrots in the dawn

tired after screaming all night long

peace around the bend

as sleep exercises its slow trend

they used up their reflexes

in crude unnecessary antics

and now when the time matters

there is no energy to get frantic

and now life calls for its fatal sacrifice

it's always there; it's grip like vice.

But now their energy is gone

and they revel in perpetual suppositions of a temporary dawn

knowing that the blight of the new days light

will only lambast their sleep dimmed eyes.

And they will dream lies

until the next party at sundown arrives.

The Greatest Jihad

The night is peace until the rising of the dawn
The day is a beast that will torment you long, long, long...

The greatest battles are fought inside
Glory is not for your fellows to decide

And so i fight from the crack of morn to the break of dusk
Through dead heat and lightning, thunder and dust.
