       poetry is a means of looking into the soul. without the
       confines of grammar and paragraphs, rigid form, or even
       spelling (witness e.e. cummings), the poet can merely lay
       out the words that describe his purest intention, using
       pattern, rhyme, and structure to outline the intended
       effect. a poem can say in four lines what an essay cannot
       say in four hundred. therein lies the magic of poetry - written
       well it can be a timeless expression of the human condition,
       without the trappings of an over abundance of words.

       Interlude

       Lightning opened the room
       And cast shadows on the bodies
       Twisted in a naked embrace
       Tossing in the blue-black light
       Teeth gnashing tongue flicking
       White flesh colliding with sin
       Frenzied motion and gritty words
       Thunder closed the room

       demonika



       regarding music

       cool trance of unethical meditation
       sounds of silence and noise of art
       little box on the floor with reverb
       quiet me, soothe me, relax me, rape me

       dis



       right now

       Daggers hidden deep within her eyes,
       dodging direct contact,
       and avoiding the obvious.

       Loud music, rhythms blasting.
       Bass pounding, as a heart beat,
       a soul so shattered.

       Green pools with brownish gold swirls flowing down, around them.
       Fair skin, the softest at touch,
       and a look in her eyes that could kill, if she wanted.

       Running her tongue over her lips,
       a bright colour, full of life,
       a fever runs through her,
       that no one would ever know.

       Daggers hidden deep within her eyes,
       dodging direct contact,
       and avoiding the obvious.

       Jaded heart,
       shattered soul,
       murderous look,
       a spirit trapped,
       now gone from hatred ...
       And, left as dust.

       Me, Myself, and I.



       Amnesia

       Once filled with images,
       Words, colors.
       Now grey, desolate;
       Lingering scent --
       Dust?

       Fragments smeared,
       Blurred,
       Shattered.
       Wiped.

       Erased.

       Legion



       Can we say, non-sequitur?

       Next time you see the pander kissing find a strong bow to
       pluck their feather dust. Make the caravan an open house
       to fold the witty unknown. To love we give our devotion
       and passion. To lust we throw caution through the pole and
       make fidelity mark the raven's tongue. Oh you passionate fool
       we know the broken mirror. Oh you rapturous being who makes
       the fleet of evil dance around in decay. For tonight is the
       time of carrion men. The lips of death claps but once upon
       the mortal man so in love lies eternity. Come to gather straw
       for the gods. This mental block shall show no road block. For
       the time of love has become the moment of now. We can hold
       bells and whistles and know truth but love is forsaken by the
       immaculate and the witty. All round the angel's head with
       common ground.
