The Beggar and the Beast

May 12th, 2008 · Comments Off

 By fire’s incandescence, a ragged beggar warded himself from the cold of the night.
No sounds carried on the wind, save for a horse’s neigh and an alley cat fight.
He sipped gingerly of a cheap wine and roasted mysterious meat on a spit,
while rats watched from the shadows, weighing the odds of stealing it.
From those shadows […]

Cheeto

CHEETO
cheeto, cheeto
tiny curved delight
whenever i am down
you’re there to make it right
for cheeto, you are cheezy
yet i am much the same
but for America’s obesity
i feel you are to blame.

Toaster

TOASTER
small metal box
with artificial heat
fits all my bread
wholegrain, white and wheat
small metal box
made an inferno for my bread
leaving only remnants
in your crumb collecting bed.

What Happened to Hollywood

May 12th, 2008 · Comments Off

The lights in the city went out
On the street roamed a sunken movie star
No place to call home but a sour trash can
Roaming until he found a rusty waterfall
At which he stared into pools of still water
And loved his face
And wondered where all who once loved it went to
So he found comfort in the flirty […]

Facts, Factors, and Fiction

May 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Fact:
My skin adores Ra,
Some say I´m cursed
But I call it a blessing.
I am not black for black is a color
 The sprits within me raise and set on Ra´s command.
Who am I if I’m a reflection of him?
 I am Son
Factor:
 Ra shines life unto the earth and dominates the skies
He gives consul to the bird that flies […]

Distracted

May 9th, 2008 · No Comments

These words are therapy.
They help me,
To forget the,
Things that live inside my mind.
The nightmares I find,
Of distant memories,
Of things I’ve seen,
And wish would not be,
But unfortunately,
I’m brought back to reality,
With harsh ferocity,
And unforgiving hostility.
You’d be shocked,
At the scenes I’ve blocked,
From the view of you,
And those who knew,
The truth but choose,
To lose themselves,
In their own comfort […]

Eternal Love

May 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Let your skin caress mine.
Let us bathe in our eternal love. Let us forever be young. Let our minds mold into one. Never before have I known such a beauty. Shall I never again know such a love? Let me place the gift of eternity on your hand —
And embrace you with a kiss.

Let us […]

I Wonder

February 25th, 2008 · Comments Off

I wonder what life’s about
I wonder why the lights are out
I wonder why the door opens after I leave
when I come back closes right in front of me
no key or solution
left to walk back to the world of pollution
I wonder what heaven’s like
and I wonder about the rebirth of life
I wonder why there’s so many […]

forward as the strangeness of my fingers
compliments my ambitions and this ice dance frolic

Untitled

February 6th, 2008 · No Comments

He cried out to me in that dark night behind the porch and sidewalk. Just a sweet lullaby
of a man lost on a sweet fairytale trip. So, I guess I should walk down to visit him. To be
cordial.
I guess. But the dream, he forgot to mention contained three babies and two mothers.
Everyone else but me.
A […]
