There Is A Tempest
There is a tempest in the the temple tonight
All of my values, morals, are shaking from fright
There is reason for all of my fear
When red in color, it turns, my water clear
There is blood from innocence and souls,
Caking my fingers, dried by the cold
In the darkest of winter my seed willingly spills
Sickening sweet, the cost, such a cheap thrill
It crystallizes screaming without making a sound
Upon white flakes of frozen ground
You shuddered when bloody caked fingers
Stopped to caress, silken breast, they linger
I briefly touch, with the back of my hand
Your perfect cheek, flowering this land

Caged Love
My love is caged
Like a wild beast
I see you walk by and growl
Deep within my throat
These bars that separate us
Will not be forever
One day I shall be free
To have my way with you
I stretch my claws for someday
I will claw you
I lick my fangs for someday I will
Bite your neck and thrash you
I shall stalk you
And crouch in shadows
With only yellow-green eyes
Will you see in the reflection of your light

The Black Barrel of a Gun
You say you're going to shoot me up
Yeah, shoot me up
If I don't do what you want
Yeah, shoot me up
While looking over the black barrel of a gun
You say again do what you want or it's going
To be the gun
Yeah, be the gun
If I don't do what you want
While looking down at the black barrel of a gun
Oh, well it's a good thing I can't hear
Yeah, I can't hear
Cause I'm not giving in to wants
Yeah, I can't hear
While your shoving a black barrel of a gun
Oh, yes and I can't see, no can see
When you give me your ultimatum

Wonder Poem
She was a rockhard
Firm chassied, sleek
Chic, two toned
Wonder of a poem
Her smile could
turn you on a dime
Make you feel that
You've been left undone
She had a way
with her words
That made me
smile now in my tears
Her rear end
Never shimmied
Her trunk never
left undone

Lost
Sadness comes creeping in like
a rising tide under a fulloon
Under stars
in darkness
between the proverbial
Heaven and Earth
Loneliness wanders like a
homeless vagabond, a bag lady
hovering in darkened doorway's
fallen ways
They're different, so different
the normal people.
While in oceans deep
step in shallow seas
and are able to sleep
Sleep, sleep away

Slug City
There once was a family of slugs
That lived in a cabbage patch town
They went out every nite to eat
Found a cabbage and began to munch down
All through the night they could reduce
A cabbage to a stalk in the ground
All night they would munch and munch
But you would never here them, not nary a sound
But Mrs H was becoming fed up
Her patch the proudest around
With malace, blood red, she schemed
She vowed to eliminate those clowns
She purchased the best poison they had
She tried every trick she read
But the slugs just kept on coming
Every nite long after it was bed

Summer Night
The air is soft only the way it can be
in the citified fumes of summer downtown
The grays and dull orange and lemmon peel skies
cling heavy to the ridges and all my sighs
The way lighted lamps cause warm shadow figures
to dance, ah just a cat and moth
And grumbling four tired vehicles sash away around
the corner restoring 'Concerto de Emtomology'playing
every night as first showing all summer
The air is warm, but soft, soft and.warm with dampnesd
to my collar.There is a lone srar, flickering, maybe a planet
Hard to be for certain for smog lays heavy in the heat.
Just one star, billions waiting back, holding onto the
darkened shroud we so ineptly call eternity.So this it it
With everything cascading down into this one point.
My existence only as far as I can see, sunset, street lamp light,

Enigma: Part II (Loose Form)
I. I saw the past flee from me
leaving puddles of memories-
(memories and sadness, salt and pepper
bread and butter) -
How close we were together;
the Glenn and Iris in September
II.The ocean swelled and crashed on the rocks
We made love not unlike the sea
The winter was cold, frozen in love
when she chose to leave me
And all my seed fell frozen
and all my dreams lay shaken bare
III. For February fallen and March ascending...
long tears, soft wails subdued with shivers
There are stars out tonight whose light
is older than first love
has endured through a void and cold
and comes to me softly with comfort

Enigma: Part One (Form Rigid)
I. I contemplate non de plume
the nomenclator pax- kiss of peace.
Coddle the dowry, the dowsables
pas de deux
Fill the kyack with tidytips
from California, that land lease.
No irrational number, reality two.
II. Fattened on krass and farina,
fanfaronade, mordancy,
honey and beurre noir on toast'
nothing too ambsace.
The guidon carried by a guidon
betraying the one, one's fancy
only to be crushed by a juggernaut
-pomace.
III. Could I quintuplicate the subdebutante
becoming tag end?
Would I cozen the bulblet from the branch Circe?

Monkey and Goose, Snake and Bull, and Tiger Lou
Monkey and goose
Snake and bull
And there friend tiger lou
Met at hummingbird's garden
For afternoon tea for two
In hummingbird's garden
Raised the most precious colors
Be they red or blue, pink or white
To all who viewed
It was such a dazzling sight
Somewhere between succulent sips
The question of God's existance
Became more than a quip.
Where is it that God can be found?
Is he here upon Earth's holy ground?
Then goose said, 'I will fly across
This land, my wings are strong and
