#14 sheep

                                         sheep



crimson clouds, viscous seep, cloak heavenly nations and
the wind no longer rises from its sleep,
leaving sky to steep in thinning blood of faithful sheep,
pure coated, deep,
in years, which thousands’ reap, of this momentous tear
from sunken crawling green eyes, as ocean morning keeps the clear,
witnessing forsaken fear of slumber at eternal moment
before self-sovereignty, as told by
static, boxy, Godly seer

within his risen right, his risen reich,
is curtly clenched a wordy spear, a scare upon the mass it sear;
this beast, a god upon thou ear,
sign marked by feast on righteous fear,
but for sake of he, his Trinity Three,
are forsaken the people, chose by Trinity, He

six and six and six
and five and two, this mix
and three through nine
they mark these sheep, a fatal sign, but
still these arms are claimed divine

“all hail this Cretan plaque!
this conception by one
from hatred made!”
these bounding clouds, for he they reign,
and hit the heart, the most reverse
a royal reaction  the most perverse,
a catalyst for depth in earth
bound toward death in natural hearth,
while perilous cries tread upon breeze
as fireflies sporadic light the skies

these sunken faces amass in millions,
but save them the number,
and grant them a nothing-numerical slumber

# 13 my divines

                                 my divines

clutched in each my feeble hand,
two spheres settled, divinely planned;
december’s crimson roses sprang,
‘fore silvery song of canaries rang;
deep blankets of glistening snow, his weeping did hang,
beading sweat bedewed this earth, this cosmic yang;
merciful streams slashed fields vast,
and seas of past, so savage, ravaged civil sand,
while Sexual light, on midsummer night,
bore fingertips Lilliputian Grande;
oh, sweet these mortal sensual spheres
clutched in each my feeble hand,

but a stitch in time, not even could it save
my two divine

                                                                     for

tides colliding to rhythm of my pulse, outpoured
upon the floor, my heart bled for these adored;
discord struck frequency the fair ear could not withstand,
buried in stark basement thought was, of time, this delicate strand
whose shadows rose through virgin heavens, taking stand and
even most viridian moss declared to sun in eastern hand “we must disband”;
these wombs, flush, once fertile life, now futile strife, cried unheard,
and In effigy burned her word, two warring lords in stride abhorred;
millionth shattered bit that longing moons no longer lit,
and to my soul, ceased to befit, for it was I He so deplored;
for now you see, this i’ll ever be;
i clutch in each my feeble hand,
the remnants of two lives once planned.

# 12 my glass menagerie

         my glass menagerie


hello,
     my friend, my foe, my end.

kissing nickel and kissing dime,  your key
seduces with Sirine chime upon
my ears, this Never-rhyme.

set to free, this Never-free,
my ever-be, my glass menagerie,
and oh, how you frighten me, but
despite me,
you ignite me,
and my essence burns brightly
enshrouded from creatures most sightly, but
brethren of you, sees ever so Slightly
and even in fall, He prays for this blight,
                                                               me.

your shackles, they sear through my flesh and my blood,
left am i craving this this life giving bud,
but this poor wasted seedling, a withering dud,
this poor waning seedling, not a stem in the mud.

for this stem, how you’ve thieved, and placed to my lip,
for my life, how you grip, leave me gasping for air,
for my life, how you rip, leaving utter despair,
for my life, how you strip, of the women most fair,
                and for what?
this mental repair?
fleeting moments of this feeble, fruitless love affair?

and how i dare, stagger six feet
down, and into your eyes stare,
in helpless cries, i swear, to
break from this snare, for  no
more can i bare to depart at declare,
must unshackle from your lair
or with death i shall share,
oh, i swear, i shall share with this death and despair.
