Climb into the pumpkin seed
Salted trickling sweat
Bleeding beneath
Such a crisp tortoise shell
Breathe unto a cane
Violated blank defiance
Boldly sprouting
Such a carnival of disciples
Shelter fragile blossoms
Passionate ignorance
Carelessly awaiting
Such a firm mutilation
Pray to a jade goddess
Opaque veils of vines
Curiously shielding
Such a resilient rind
Cry for an earthly mother
Foretold silent submission
Cleverly aborting
Such a pumpkin in bloom
Swirling into an abyss of shadow
A thin white line is eagerly consumed
And with each dance of a faulty mist
A touch of morning ambiguously blooms
The sharp chime of coffee spoons
Panging against a sculpted crest
Awakens a ritual more essential than sleep
To transcend that bothersome longing for rest
A cauldron bubbles beneath a steady drizzle
Exciting the deep, rich substance prepared
With a teaspoon of sugar; a dollop of cream
The timeless potion is set to be shared
Through the aroma freely gracing the room
And last drops departing without a warning
The mesmerizing scent of a cup of coffee
Receives the familiar company of mo

Literature
The Roses Were Scarlet
The colors were beautiful, she said with a smile
Her voice was precise and kissed by the absurd
If only you were there, if you could see for a while,
You would then understand my every word
The roses were scarlet, but blue thorns adorned
Expanding and contracting with each quiet breath
Each second a new bloody rose bud was born
Each second another was defeated by death
And the swirling patterns, the dazed grape vines
Sprang to life among the scarlet surrender
The meticulous knots of the finest design
Decorated the world with a new kind of splendor
Such brilliance, such majesty that lit up the universe
Was neither kind nor callous
In harmony lay waves of comfort
Pressure felt only by auras of depth
Each breath conjures the moments life has offered
All that has been taken, all that has been silenced
Chosen in our memories, our reflections
Channeled to plains so foggy and damp
Beauty caressing the tenderest of thoughts
Turns ugliness and pain to a shuddering bliss
Raising questions that pure consciousness can only receive
A blanket of haze awakens passions of existence
The need for our faces to be seen with purpose
Tempt curiosity with distorted visions of reality
Dancing in the mist of newborn knowledge
Waves of nothingness mingle with fears and joys
Push
Four years gone by
Empty of expression and taste
With both ears closed to the words of others
Envy plasters every thought and emotion
She plays the keys, no grey between
Searching for the song within herself
The heat of maybe stomped by imperfection
Are remnants of the burden her own spirit seals
The drums beat louder
The passion of thunder reigns
Random and free
Just words on paper
Just notes between the lines
From her mind it will dance
She must write to live
Write to be
Write to inspire
Write to find peace
Such time it takes to heal the old routine
To unearth what lies within
Such time for these deep caverns unexplored
Climb into the pumpkin seed
Salted trickling sweat
Bleeding beneath
Such a crisp tortoise shell
Breathe unto a cane
Violated blank defiance
Boldly sprouting
Such a carnival of disciples
Shelter fragile blossoms
Passionate ignorance

Please don't get high.
Try to live again, please, for me.
Blood, spoon, lighter,
I don't want to cry
Anymore. The powder can't get whiter
And the floor isn't clean.
Lean on me, please, and I'll help you;
I'll listen, forget prejudice
And this, maybe, won't hurt you anymore.
Please don't get high.
It's selfish of me, I know,
But sighing hope away
Scares me. It shows
When fear slips out the corner of my eyes,
Searing down my cheeks, like fire
Dripping off my chin,
Because you're higher
Than you've ever been.
Please, it hurts, to see you rot away,
It hurts to see
That you don't care, and you don't care for me
Like you used t
There's so much I'd like to do
But so little power to pull it through
Psychedelic colours of acid rain
Crimson pidgeons on my window pane
Speaking in tongues of the vibrant ones
Stony-eyed watching the TV reruns
Beating their children to silence at night
Seeing the world in full black and white
Endless wires and stormy sea
Deliv'ring to doorstep in groups of three
The sins to repent and new ones to commit
In a room without windows, badly lit
The famous disappearing act
Combining fantasy and fact
To something way beyond your reach
A preacher's sermon on the beach
Contaminating sea and land
Contract diseases in the sand
Where
Ive done it all. I read the books, listened to the music, bought the clothes, got the haircut with the two different colours of dye went to the clubs, took the drugs. I did all of that. I said the words, I sang the songs, I shouted the insults and I whispered the secrets. Nothing ever changes in this shambolic nation. A nation of junkies and preps, of bastards and belles, of you and me. Together we built this society, this army, this carnage of culture. Between us, we are responsible for the creation of all that is good, all that is evil, all that is wrong and all that is right. The two of us wrote the rules, set the scene
Just beyond
the horizon,
where a white
line separates
brine from sky,
an infinite
oblivion
of blank space
envelopes
everything
with only
an impression
of solid ground
and the echo
of the universe
as it expands
past the limits
of existence.
