Almost Empty
I love her I love her more than my own life For her I would do anything To her my heart belongs She is my precious The only jewel I wish to hold among the sea of possibilities I love her Though she casts me aside many, many times Breaking my heart She is the center of my world I am not her center Though I stand beside her always Aiding her in all that she does When I turn for comfort I have no one beside me Alone I go through my own hardships How much more must I take? 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Balloon Panties
Balloon panties floating in space The last exploration Strange peacock planets orbit a new earth Dawn of creation Prophets come with unusual religions Future dogma future wars Sacred sex becomes tainted Fear of women spreads from man to man Thus it has been Cycle of tyranny Now women are reclaiming there lost status Men take a bow Balloon panties floating in space Balloon panties floating in space 7/31/11 9:43 AM

We belong dead
We are corruptions Made from other peoples flesh A thief here A murder there Abnormal to the core We are the children of Cain Our only love is pain Shunned by the world They want to destroy us We couldnt change Too far into the realms of strange Deep down we know We belong dead We belong dead No place in this world for us We belong dead Jacob tries to help his world Cheating death building machines Frankensteins labors were unknown Until his secrets were revealed Made in the image of a mad man Even he shunned what he couldnt comprehend We belong dead We belong dead No place in this world for us We belong dead Dead Dead We belong dead Dead Dead

Bourbon Cloud
The taste of bourbon tickles my nose The smell of oak plays off my tongue Cloud of Cuban fills my room Relaxing wiggling my toes My body is in Massachusetts but my mind is in Kentucky An hour passes unnoticed Another smoke Start the process all over again 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Brain Blur
Wasting my day Staring blankly at the TV. Flickering pictures Show after show One long blur of brain numbness 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Chap
Every morning when I awake I read my bible Every night before I go to sleep I read my bible It helps me on my way Read a chapter twice a day Is it opium for the masses? Or is it revolutionary? This depends on the persons state of mind Love is the message Love is the law Those who live for hate will suffer Spread love through out the world Even when the world doesnt love you Read a chapter a day and youll be on your way to Zion 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Forty-Foot Owl
I have seen the rich and powerful men in the grove Cremating the cares of the world Drinking and chanting Drag queen stripping Elvis belly flops Straight sex with animals Homosexual activities behind velvet ropes Pissing on red wood trees Money beds souls lost The owl speaks deeply The thirst for knowledge is never quenched Wisdom is not welcome All happens in the summer embers glow During the chaos the future is molded Who will lead the people is decided Wars conceived Manhattan project laughed at Public decisions without public consent Hush 7/31/11 9:43 AM

I am God
I dont follow traditions made by ignorant men I dont chant because I must No, I follow my heart Create my own traditions Celebrate that which speaks to me Shakes me to the core Brings me face to face with the Name I pray I pray to myself Myself is God I hear my prayers just as God does We are one Indivisible Heretical?
5/28/11 6:29 PM
Many pray to God but have no understanding that they are God All of creation resides in God Every aspect of that which was, is and shall be resides in you I am you You are I We are only God I am God Birds, trees, stars, aliens, galaxies, all of the are God Follow the will of God Higher self-manifestation reality Embrace what you are Everything Nothing God 7/31/11 9:43 AM
JAH Word
When I read the words of JAH My soul takes flight I feel connected to everything I go out of myself I go into myself A new revelation springs to mind The uncertainty of life becomes certain Fragmented static puzzle JAH word is all I need Praise JAH 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Lonely Walk
Lonely gray haired priest walks down an autumn road His days coming to its closing His eyes droopy Murmurs leave his lips An all black image with a full color backdrop People wave as they drive by No one stops to pick him up He is like Moses overlooking Israel Knowing that he has gone as far as he is allowed Many gifts he has giving Still he is an outcast For the people but not of the people Lonely gray haired priest walks alone Walks alone 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Montego Bay
Underneath the willow tree You are you and I am I Deception never works Clothes cover my unmade bed Left teeth hurt after brushing An evil twin fades out Bitter wine scrubs face Red lobster blue lobster Wooding combs tasteless toothbrush Hurl your box into the sun Deodorant wizard falls asleep Naked people jump the moon Gold wrappers float in the air Passions disappear Caramel eyes point to skills Full moon Bikini turkey dances on T.V. Rastafari draydel spins Unchain the past derail the future 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Ocean Music
Doing the waltz with Nazis On a moon lit beach T-Rex swaying to the music The waves sing a lulling chorus In the great distance the Black Pearl sinks lovely 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Ordinary
How can I adjust my eyes? So that I dont see through the bullshit So that I can be like other people Accepting the stupidity of the higher class To be a pawn but not realize it To be looked down upon but not get angry I must adjust my eyes So that I can live happy, sublime In a blissful ignorance that is ordinary

Persian eyes Dry Mouth
Mithras is Krishna Krishna is Attis Attis is Christ Many times arriving Healing the wounds of humanity Suffering for our transgressions Descending into Hades Ascending into heaven Four leaf forms One root Many times crucified A star hailing their arrival Young babies killed by jealous rulers Twelve companions Zodiac revealed Putting right what man placed in the wrong Saviors called by ALL those who had eyes to see Transfigured before a few Thrice holy are the four, One Take there body eat them Take their blood drink Worship Mithras is Jesus Jesus is Krishna Krishna is Attis Four distinct times One holy being 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Rotten Teeth
Rotten teeth make me smile Rotten teeth make me smile Black horse rides again Ending the ginger man Barking dogs wave a white flag Bourbon barrels fall from the sky Murray is baffling a bitch While Bob chases a lion Meditation turns off the light Young Betty is naked at sunset Turtles battle goblins at night Hawaiian music feels like salt Marijuana in the pockets of life Another score says the television Old Greg smiles sleeplessly Souls take flight at 7:33 pm Broken crosses cover the floor Number thirteen crowds the union jack Holy mother, mother of me Holy mother, mother of me Guru speaks to deaf ears Tan skin ocarina Living the crazy life This world is bizarre Neighbors wave good-bye A mouse and mole become detectives What happened to the private asshole? Lost at the train station

Teenage Dreams
I never had a teenage dream Was never allowed to soar Broken from birth My enemy my father Chaotic home life I still dont know why Daily confrontation Smile for the strangers Anger buried deep down Emotions squashed I never had a teenage dream 7/31/11 9:43 AM

Ghost it
Vampire slut wants to dance for me Tight leather clothes with too much underneath Her movements do not amuse me I want to leave but now I must I stay Acting interested is the hardest thing to do When shes done I have to nail her The minute Im done I got to leave Not even going to take off my clothes Ill be ghost so fast her head will spin Ill be gone before the east wind blows Silly little Sadie wants to be my world But shes just too boring A perfect body with no brain Every time she speaks she becomes more annoying I know that she means well So Ill have to bed her Then Ill be ghost her head will spin Ill be gone before the east wind blows Ill be gone Ill be gone Before the east wind Before the east wind blows your fantasies away 7/31/11 9:43 AM
