Escaping Bankrupt Nation

Escaping Bankrupt Nation
© Surazeus
2025 10 31

If darkened hills yield sorrow of soft rain 
our hearts assemble with cows in wet fields 
to ponder barrenness from pestilence 
that twists our hearts at beauty of the moon 
as ghosts of the dead wear discarded clothes 
and ask for food from people of the sky. 

Yet broken melody of the glass moon 
excites my hesitant heart to assert 
laughter of ocean tides with orphaned dreams, 
hesitant to wake from darkness of truth 
so I can shelve books in their proper place 
before the weeping willow learns my name. 

When I survive sharp surgery of grief 
beyond stark limitations of concern, 
my heart hides thoughts in secret passages 
within the hollow hearts of honey trees 
so we can share key to the afterlife 
where paper skeletons of angels dance. 

Trapped in well-lit room of infinity 
with all the lost objects of fallen kings, 
I outline theory of the fractured mind 
designed to explicate wholeness of death 
when we emerge from womb of otherness 
to claim our place in heaven of lush fields. 

Escaping bankrupt nation of despair 
to display happy memories of youth, 
we sell our sorrows to the bitter god 
in exchange for fame we could never earn 
because development of mental code 
has been arrested before clocks explode. 

Safe in the sad forever of our song, 
I leave my body floating in sea waves 
to permeate wholeness of our spinning globe 
with conscious fortitude of honest hope 
that we paint our fears on rough walls of caves 
to prove we are more than fate of the wrong. 

Sophistication through insipid tales 
could spite our solemn vow to comprehend 
unspoken sorrows people try to hide 
in bold dramatic movies no one sees 
except blind clown on the telephone pole 
who longs to join the carnival of gods. 

Morose but calm at blast of angry bombs, 
I write my lamentation on the sky 
with blood of angels killed by mindless guns 
since Mother Nature is indifferent 
to whether we humans survive of not, 
so I wear disguise to hide from my ghosts. 



Umbrella In Sweet Rain

Umbrella In Sweet Rain

2025 10 31

When umbrellas fall in sensuous rain 
at passionate kiss between lonely lovers, 
silver drops erase social memories 
so we become two bodies intertwined 
with sweet electric energy of trust 
that generates new life from our desire. 

Stark rays of light through storm-impatient clouds 
illuminate demon wings in our hearts 
so we transcend tight bounds of naked fear 
through slow expansion of our conscious hopes 
to glow as constellated stars of love 
arranged by plans we weave with whispered words. 

Together holding hands of shy regret 
we wander through deserted park of signs, 
ignoring careful paths of social roles 
to tread with bare feet of assertive faith 
fear-muddied trails in shadows of cruel trees 
who weep flower blooms on our tangled hair. 

Great need for shared responsibilities 
binds our individual hands with red thread 
of heart-connected moments we perform 
to nurture trust of stricken insolence 
combining separate minds with one new goal 
that guides our navigation beyond death. 

Weird way light glows on cautious open doors 
alerts our skittish hearts to sudden trap 
that could still fracture fragile innocence 
with misconstrued words of false sentiments 
distorted by perceptive nonchalance 
that twists our haven into paradise. 

No agitated guilt of lonely vales 
projects bright stars on stone walls of the church 
where faceless ancestors we never meet 
wait sleepless in tombless graves of the heart 
for hour we choose to rise from numb despair 
and strike with truth against contempt of fate. 

Pungent scent of lilies after dawn rain 
disguises familiar anger with hope 
that disciplined poise of honest respect 
may splinter monuments to social pride 
erected by the living left behind 
who carve our names on rain-smooth river stones. 

Unreachable home of galactic tides 
lures our aching hearts to return at last 
from endless journey to lost paradise 
with brave humility contrived by prayers 
till we meet again by hate-ruined hall 
to kiss under umbrella in sweet rain. 




Ghost Of My Lost Lover

Ghost Of My Lost Lover
© Surazeus
2025 10 31

Haunted by absence of people we love, 
we disguise our souls with stereotypes 
of people who existed in the past 
so ghosts of our ancestors cannot find 
exuberant homes of ephemeral faith 
where we teach children how to play themselves. 

If paper angels hanging from roof eaves 
sing heavenly hymns of ephemeral faith, 
bats may flock from huge abandoned warehouses 
and transform into children with snake teeth 
who want to understand math formulas 
for calculating games that increase wealth. 

Dressed as Saturn with sea-electric eyes, 
I walk black asphalt street among tall oaks, 
bare feet squishing thin orange leaves wet from rain, 
to catch shooting stars with death-wrestling hands 
and turn them into shadows in dark rooms 
where faceless people talk to photographs. 

Aware of every soul alive on Earth, 
I walk toward white rectangle glow of light 
to talk with sparrows in meadow of skulls 
who understand assignment of the queen 
to feed every child hungry for respect 
who gathers wings of angels from wet grass. 

Beneath black metal skies of rippling thoughts 
we wear stiff plastic masks of long-dead gods 
to harvest red clouds from silver trash cans 
while Death walks beside us without sharp scythe 
to wait before locked doors of the white church 
where blind Rapunzel in the dark spire sings. 

Sharp fever of poisonous flowers swirls, 
buzzing from empty mirror of dark void 
where Cain asks Persephone for the time 
though she hides behind purple velvet drapes 
to kiss grim murderer of the silk-white moon 
while Jengu tends her wounds with gentle care. 

Green raven wearing crystal mask of fate 
consumes despair from hands of lonely kids 
who hide harmonious stars in grumbling books 
when blue spotted deer with attentive ears 
leads them over white-stone bridge veiled with moss 
toward faces of mothers floating in clouds. 

I look around for ghost of my lost lover 
but see cries of desolation in jars 
floating on river of abandoned boats 
because our souls echo in city wind 
mocking the fool who crowns himself world king 
since we all vote instead for Melusine.

Vital Force Of Manitou

Vital Force Of Manitou
© Surazeus
2025 10 30

Since the situation has become dire, 
where puzzling fragments of our shared world view 
crumble into riddles of arcane code 
scrambled by artificial intelligence, 
Orpheus walks into the wilderness 
to hide nuclear missiles from mad King Midas. 

Eager to rejoin the heavenly choir 
that performs for Ishtar in Katmandu, 
I travel back east on ancestral road 
to map their long journey with diligence 
that leads to misty vales of Inverness 
where Thoth writes spells with feather of the ibis. 

Three angels with vast wings of holy fire, 
propelled by vital force of Manitou, 
preach salvation of hypnotic God Toad 
whose song reveals cosmic indifference, 
so we all cross Bridge of Forgetfulness 
constructed by clever daughter of Phoebus. 

Reborn in cavern of hermetic lyre, 
which David made from the flexible yew, 
I chant epic tales in Saturnian mode 
depicting deeds ruled by world conference 
to measure moral scale of worthiness 
contrived from fairy tales by the blind abbess. 

Mother of Gods stands in the open door 
to watch airplanes glide in the silver sky 
which augurs progress of terrestrial fate 
derived from various tropes of surreal dreams 
portending fractured signs of happiness 
which prop facade of our imperial nation. 

Every Sabbath when I drive to the store 
to purchase ingredients for apple pie, 
I ponder strength of our socialist state 
designed to function based on special teams 
who allocate rewards through wealthiness 
that positions each person in their station. 

Weaving computer from globe iron core 
which links all our brains in one divine eye, 
God teaches angels how to astrogate 
by surfing galactic waves of star beams 
through soul-game of transdimensional chess, 
then joins Death on Caribbean vacation. 

Determined to excel my psychic score 
by working for Jesus as secret spy, 
I convince every king to abdicate 
through noble key of political schemes 
which only innocent princess can bless 
when Orpheus guides us all to salvation. 



Grace Of The Word Witch

Grace Of The Word Witch
© Surazeus
2025 10 30

Vulnerable to sufferings people endure, 
Anne weeps for how we struggle to survive 
in social turmoil of collective wars 
when tribes fight tribes over valleys of lakes, 
inventing myths about the Primal Father 
who rose from this soil at the dawn of time. 

Gowned in black dress woven from sea-storm clouds, 
Anne walks in gloomy Massachusetts woods 
with affectionate grace of the Word Witch 
born from angelic egg of the glass moon 
that reflects cryptic beauty of her face 
while bearing Book of Angels at her breast. 

Scarlet beams from the moon illuminate 
grove of oaks and plum trees around the lake 
where Anne places book on the large flat stone, 
then lights two candles that gleam in her eyes 
as she opens volume of arcane lore 
and chants spells she composed with blood. 

Vibration of her voice expands in waves 
which undulate as ripples of gold threads 
to weave protective dome of energy 
that gleams in flashing matrix of star eyes 
concentrating electric potency 
which spirals into tall ethereal form. 

Tall bearded man with sun-gold waves of hair 
congeals from sparkling haze of psychic will 
through pulsing specter of intelligence 
who opens emerald eyes of star-born power 
and gazes at young woman in black dress 
whose words conjure his soul from Book of Angels. 

Extending both arms to embrace the sky, 
Anne chants eclectic spell of radiant thoughts 
and queries spirit from the Netherworld 
to comprehend his name and lineage 
and how his timeless spirit emanates 
from star-dilating spirals of her genes. 

Immortal spirit beaming from her brain 
reveals through vision of his emerald eyes, 
"My name is Gandalf, wise King of Alfheim, 
descended from grim Odin, son of Skjoelder, 
and, through my elegant daughter Alfhild, 
my grandson Ragnar Lothbrok flows to you." 

Snapping Book of Angels closed just at dawn, 
Anne draws ghost of Gandalf back in her heart, 
then returns to her home in Ipswich town 
where she cooks breakfast of cornmeal mush samp 
sweetened with molasses, and apple cider, 
then writes poetry at her desk by the window. 



Reason Why Death Cries

Reason Why Death Cries
© Surazeus
2025 10 30

We think we know the reason why Death cries 
despite wretched attitude of false hope 
because we refuse to accept with grace 
finality of nothingness that blows 
dark wind of sorrow through shadowy woods 
where moon girl kneels beside mirror-black lake. 

Reluctant huntsman of the monstrous heart 
lurks shyly cautious under willow tree 
that rustles fearfully in sudden breeze 
excited by breath of the mushroom toad 
whose eyes scream lightning storms of honesty 
till shimmering rain reveals portal of fate. 

Through swirling fog of rancid ecstasy 
sly moon girl glides bravely toward flashing star 
while plucking honeysuckle blooms with care 
to analyze state of world politics 
with vivid insight into primal cause 
that sparks world revolution of the rich. 

Clutching grief that writhes in back of her mind, 
moon girl bears loaf of bread with solemn fear 
across muddy meadow of skeletons, 
that rise from dripping constancy of faith, 
to host grand ritual of exploding eggs 
from which new generation of gods crawls. 

Throwing snowballs at each other in play, 
moon girl and huntsman with the monstrous heart 
laugh gayly till their grief dissolves in tears, 
then lounge together in the book cafe 
and drink ginger mochas with loving smiles 
while Death plays romantic tunes on guitar. 

Folding our entire universe of worlds 
in dainty book of illustrated poems, 
moon girl hums melody of falling leaves 
to ponder why death always seems to cry 
with sorrow when organic creatures die, 
then fills out application for the job. 

With open-hearted joy of studious dance, 
moon girl beams her immortal soul of genes 
through bright rose window of deliberate faith 
in rays that slant across cathedral space 
more vast than ocean vistas of respect 
as she types laughter through the radio. 

Concealed in million books of faceless ghosts, 
cute honeybees avenge untimely death 
of pregnant moon girl on the highway bridge 
where bitter huntsman with the monstrous heart 
cradles naive bride in helpless despair 
at sudden randomness of weeping death.

Fierce Thunderer Of Time

Fierce Thunderer Of Time
© Surazeus
2025 10 29

Against fierce Thunderer of Time I stand 
obstinate with ambitious mind affirmed 
to defend freedom of achieved free choice 
each individual asserts to advance 
advantage of hope for prosperity 
through sceptered performance of calm respect. 

My sentence is for honest civil work 
of expert ascension based on desire 
to bond community of eager hearts 
absolute for equality through law 
which reckons track of fugitive progress 
in turning terror to courageous faith. 

Though way of honesty seems difficult 
and steep to scale with upright wings of faith, 
we still pursue corrective formulas 
through ardent method driven by penance 
to exercise essential potencies 
perpetual for laborious recompence. 

Presenting proof we feel sufficient power 
to access dangerous paradise of wealth 
through alarming inroads from fatality, 
we expand industrious states of play 
to bind substantial zest with vibrant speech 
more vital than disenergized intent. 

Ominous conjecture described by clouds 
armed fierce with courage of random success 
must urge my breathless study of stark light 
before ethereal mold sourcing my soul 
exasperates fortune repulsed by fear 
though I perish from unconsorted night. 

Devoid of senseless motion actualized 
by impotence of fear-inflicting curse, 
my heart pursues time-kindled opulence 
by grim fires scattered on consulting hills 
to seek unearned shelter in starless caves 
where hideous horrors frustrate fake decrees. 

Unpitied ocean organized by waves 
almighty to resist vile plots of greed 
ordains just laws of doubtful provenance 
which we endure with omnipotent words 
sustaining painful vision we conceal 
with never-ending flight beyond offence. 

When we succeed in project of respect 
to disenthrone all monarchs still in power 
we gamble fickle chance to unjudge strife 
by publishing dream code to manage chaos 
pursuant to elective liberty 
conspicuous through grand democracy. 



Moon Princess Wol

Moon Princess Wol

2025 10 29

If I can capture dream-elusive thoughts 
with words entangled by dynamic hope, 
encasing slippery concepts with ideas 
to bind their intense energy with truth, 
then I will chant zestful spells of respect 
in verses that refract psychic abstractions. 

When I am exhausted from fight for life 
through struggle to evade blankness of death, 
I lie still by deep lake in grove of trees 
so the moon transforms into gentle girl 
with star-black eyes who descends on cloud wings 
and absorbs my sorrow with glowing eyes. 

While I float paralyzed in painful grief 
on slowly undulating waves of sorrow, 
Wol whispers secret riddles of weird truth 
which soothes my aching heart with prudent vibes 
that channel rays of divine energy 
to fill my frail form with celestial light. 

Wandering forlorn in misty woods of hope, 
Endymion gazes through tangled tree limbs 
at bright glowing face of Moon Princess Wol 
who admires pure white lily in her hand, 
so he lifts jade flute to his parted lips 
and blows warm breath of love in eerie tune. 

Stepping from boat gliding on purple lake, 
Selene beams with joyful smile of hope 
when she sees Endymion by apple tree, 
and glides toward him with graceful elegance, 
enchanted by sweet music of his heart, 
but stops in shock to see he plays for Wol. 

Snarling with rage that pretty boy she loves 
plays sweet melody for Moon Princess Wol, 
Selene orders body guard Jumong 
to destroy her rival for his affection, 
so he fires arrow of hate at her heart, 
slender shaft that soars with indifferent pride. 

When arrow pierces heart of moon girl Wol, 
causing blood to spread across her white breast, 
Endymion gasps in heart-numbing surprise, 
then leaps forward to catch her as she falls, 
grasping her body in protective arms, 
then cradles her as she gasps in sharp pain. 

Extracting arrow of hate from her heart, 
Endymion applies potion to her wound 
made of mushrooms, berries, and star-eye flower, 
which infuses dragon blood in her soul 
to regenerate her body with light, 
healing moon princess Wol with sincere love. 

While Selene fumes, and Jumong despairs 
that she will ever note his love for her, 
Moon Princess Wol and shy Endymion 
walk together among tall apple trees, 
holding hands with affectionate respect, 
then giggle and blush as they kiss with love. 



Mythic God Of Fate

Mythic God Of Fate

If I could time-travel to meet with God 
before He creates everything I dream, 
I would lounge and play lyre of Mercury 
in lush apple groves of Elysium 
instead of asking why things are messed up, 
then resume work mapping world history. 

Somewhere out on endless prairie of wind 
someone is walking on the signless road 
without clear purpose to build paradise 
where only horses find water to drink 
while I watch history repeat itself 
when rich men cause empires to fall from greed. 

After corrupt institutions collapse 
and scatter refugees across the land, 
messiah sleuth will rise from mud of fear 
with glorious vision of our brave new world 
that shines as lamp in hand of Liberty 
as guide that leads us to the Promised Land. 

For now he slouches in roadside cafe, 
eating scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausages, 
and toast with strawberry jam that tastes sweet 
as breeze which blows along the seaside cliff 
where his great-grandmother in long white dress 
plucks strawberries from hope-entangled vines. 

Each year that relentless changes of time 
adjust perceptions of social events, 
we find that deeds aggressive thieves perform 
divide world view that everybody shares 
in starkly opposing visions of truth 
that sparks civil conflict between their gods. 

Each group designs their own concept of God 
as stereotype that presents ideal leader 
who, they believe, will best manage our state, 
fierce nationalist warrior with strict rules 
versus compassionate globalist doctor 
who nurtures our individual skills. 

Who will you vote for, everyone cries out 
as mortal men with complex characters 
campaign to reign as mythic God of Fate 
who designs programs of legal providence 
to best employ each person skilled with hope, 
so we all choose between Jesus and Satan. 

Wise Architect of our utopian state 
as Heaven on Earth we want to create 
will soon possess mind of some mortal soul 
whose vision they express in honest words 
inspires our hearts with love to join our hands 
and support United Nations of Earth.

Cobalt Clouds Of Canniness

Cobalt Clouds Of Canniness
© Surazeus
2025 10 28

She sings alone beside indifferent sea 
about how people she loves disappear 
in swirling mist of silent nothingness, 
till with strange new faces they reappear, 
so she gives them seashells with food to eat 
and smiles as they drink juice from pears of light. 

What happens next, she wonders as her eyes 
gaze straight at cobalt clouds of canniness, 
and ponders with cautious analysis 
how to adjust thrifty ability 
to make sensible decisions through fear 
that death is lurking in shadow of joy. 

While strangers she welcomed into her cave 
kneel down before her face and pray for wealth, 
two guards grab her arms with aggressive hope 
and force her to lie down flat on her back 
while the king who wears fish skull on his head 
attempts to impregnate her with his soul. 

Twisting her lithe body free from their grasp 
at taut exertion through coiled elegance, 
she leaps to her feet with serpentine grace 
and twirls around on ardent springing bound 
to kick face of the growling skull-fish king 
that breaks his neck with shocking snap of death. 

Grasping pine spear with sharp obsidian blade, 
which she fashioned like her father designed, 
Thalassa stabs both guards with driving thrust, 
then smiles at people trembling on their knees 
who cry with joy at end of tyranny 
to express gratitude for saving them. 

After teaching children how to make spears 
by chipping obsidian into sharp blades, 
sea goddess leads them into sloshing waves 
and shows them how to strike quick wriggling fish, 
then helps them roast meat on hot crackling flames 
as they gather on top small ziggurat. 

Sitting in ring around bright flames of truth, 
they listen as she sings uncanny tale 
of how Gaia sewed skin of huge sea snakes 
into gown that glittered when she would dance 
and thus seduced Uranus with green eyes 
to generate sea gods from seed of hope. 

After everyone else drifts into sleep, 
Thalassa wears mermaid gown of her mother 
and dances slowly with seductive smiles 
before Oceanus with wavy hair, 
so they embrace and make passionate love 
beneath huge cobalt clouds of canniness. 



Blithely Down The Street

Blithely Down The Street

2025 10 28

I want to wander blithely down the street 
past people whose names I will never know, 
for I will never see when they were born, 
nor will I see them die and turn to dust, 
so every person I meet in the maze 
is the beautiful ghost glowing in mist. 

Awake in conclave of maples at dawn, 
I tend the crackling fire in ring of stones 
while horses trace with humble tails of hope 
love-guilty roads invested with dark vibes 
from words etched jaggedly on sublime trunks 
too expensive for the poor to buy peace. 

Acquainted with mad passion of the mind, 
smeared sweet with honey rainbow lies of fate, 
I paint errant visions on window glass 
to map strict education in cracked moons 
out of proportion to pictures of gods 
depicting nothing we keep for ourselves. 

Normal perversions twisting chocolate cakes 
expose Medusa eating sausages 
beneath wind-fluttered willow leaves of faith 
to prove that wishful thinking deceives hearts 
with wordless feelings if displaced respect 
soon rises from deep ocean of dead gods. 

No peaceful period of butterflies bears 
subtraction of faith from thunderous thoughts 
better than hour our glorious empire falls 
from plain incompetence of selfish greed, 
so we attend picnics in the state park 
regardless of who steals more from our hearts. 

Collective presence of registered gods 
feels different from that time of broken clocks 
when mothers mold their children from fake words 
by teaching them to transform wretched stones 
to screws Hephaestus forges from god bones 
till light translates lake of dreams to eyes. 

Suspicious nature of our naive hearts 
concords alliance with dismissive kings 
through misunderstanding of native songs 
ratified with tenuous concepts of faith 
reflecting self we choose to confiscate 
when nourishing togetherness in death. 

Askance perception of variant facts, 
superimposed by divine relevance, 
ensures generic threads of ardent time 
contrived from chaos of orderly hope 
that multiplies our bodies from dry dirt 
which leaves me stumbling blindly down the street. 




Anguish Of False Guilt

Anguish Of False Guilt
© Surazeus
2025 10 28

Quaint heart tortured by anguish of false guilt, 
I watch as billions of people contest 
over who can eat spirit of the land 
that blooms in crops transforming light and rain, 
and seek to disconnect my hungry soul 
so I savor beauty before I die. 

Ignoring oneiralgia in my heart 
to dwell in sweet utopian fantasy 
that billions of god-believers long for 
as socialist Heaven in paradise, 
I edit geospatial data files 
that depict true features of our real world. 

This Heaven, that philosophers have preached 
as ideal version of cities on Earth, 
presents farm estate as communal space 
where every person breathing soul of life 
is equal in their social-justice rights 
where we do what we will, if we harm none. 

Yet real cities of nations on this Earth 
are power pyramids based firm on wealth, 
arranged in hierarchies of social roles 
where farmers and crafters, who make with hands, 
support group managers and warriors 
who work under one ruler-judge of all. 

Humans arrange governments of their states 
around one leader who manages all 
by setting rules that control how we act 
as we create food and goods from the ground 
through construction and destruction of things 
which runs our world food-production machine. 

When I am shocked by anguish of false guilt, 
I pause to analyze how I perform 
acts of my hands to create or destroy, 
then I swerve from destructive deeds of fear 
in fierce defense from attacks of blind greed 
so my actions create more than destroy. 

When I see how my actions destroy things 
guilt flashes vision to arrest advance 
so I can readjust progress of change 
to minimize loss of potential stock 
with bold solution to produce new wares 
designed to maximize our fruitful growth. 

We design persona of the Good Leader, 
whom we idealize as concept of God, 
based on tales of leaders, prophets and kings, 
who have ruled empires the past ten thousand years 
by using guilt to rehabilitate 
people who choose to create good with love.

Aggressive Spire Of Dread

Aggressive Spire Of Dread
© Surazeus
2025 10 27

Unsuited for strange beauty of this world, 
I bear crippling wounds of indifferent fate 
as I dance wildly in the ring of stones 
to translate ache of sorrow into songs 
that echo in vast maze of lonely souls 
who call me to rebirth in hall of death. 

Unhinged assertion of my right to live 
through elegant clumsiness of firm faith 
compels judgmental exile of my heart 
far separate from garden of false peace 
so all my body hums in tune with death 
that drones with wordless voices of the world. 

Though loss plays equal in each human soul, 
extracted from alarm of silent bells, 
we work together in alluvial fields 
against encumbrance of vile attitude 
that nature owes us bountiful rewards 
for swift completion of redundant codes. 

No abstract Heaven gleams in swirling clouds 
yet I climb rugged mountain trail of faith 
in search of secret treasures birds conceal 
with altered wisdom from surprising springs 
where wingless angels build glass monuments 
to honor social heroes lost in mist. 

We build our homes along the winding stream 
to claim ancestral rights to live in peace 
beneath safe shelter of broad canopies 
supported by aggressive spire of dread 
designed by Well Witch from our mumbled prayers 
protecting children through despair of death. 

Impulsive laughter, fragile in green rain, 
will nurture bodies born from river stones 
when we share memories of bitter hope 
that ring with querulous intensity 
beyond domestic appetite for truth 
while gathered in the kitchen of warm tales. 

Discursive haze of urgent platitudes 
disguises narrow track of arrogance 
down which we promenade with midnight moon 
to measure distance to the frontier plain 
where saplings welcome foals from martyred games 
at shocking triumph of the noble fool. 

Languorous under sprawling tree of power, 
Minerva dreams of sudden-passioned cranes 
that soar above the swamp of hungry ghosts 
who wear clean suits in cubicles of hope 
to calculate profits earned from chaining death 
for return of investment in true love. 



Volts Of Turning Thought

Volts Of Turning Thought
© Surazeus
2025 10 27

Despite untwisting volts of turning thought 
through which I deconstruct moments of light, 
I flow across torn spectrum of respect 
that still reflects description of the scene 
sparked by excessive trigger melting time 
to meditate on our profound surprise. 

Trapped in interior drama of the mind, 
deliberately invoked by selfish prayers, 
I grasp conceptual moment of desire 
to race against conclusion, authorized 
by troubling tenor, torn from bitter books, 
as metaphor for nothing reconciled. 

From moment of illumination, charged 
with whole sensorium of naked laughs, 
I seek no obvious answer for the why 
concerned with memories buried by fear 
through temporary disruption of love 
consistent with awakened happiness. 

Based on damaged mindset of happy ghosts 
who seek supportive structure from our words, 
our strange epiphanies of spirit flight 
express erosion as process of change 
we challenge with faith-agitated dreams 
fueled by nervous passion to succeed well. 

With blood-eyed dance of gentle ecstasy 
our trip careens around the spinning globe 
to find that ghosts of mothers in doorways 
mistake this world for pretty fantasies 
till we find pleasant fields of fruitful trees 
where we can safely land in paradise. 

My learned ability, contrived by clouds, 
to raise awareness of disastrous games 
we play extracting minerals from the Earth, 
presents new opportunity from fate 
to turn my head and look behind my mask 
so I can see how I transform to me. 

Embedded inclination to expect 
good behavior of moral aptitude 
from every person mangled with desire 
of unfilled expectations, programs 
how I respond with abundant respect 
when my heart manipulates my free will. 

Through ludicrous cognition of my brain, 
composed of unacknowledged honesty, 
I meditate on longing of my heart 
to transform messy politics of greed 
to well-organized creation of trust 
till we turn our minds toward eternity. 



Mirror Of Perfect Masks

Mirror Of Perfect Masks

2025 10 27

When I gaze in mirror of perfect masks 
to perceive true nature of my Brain Being, 
I see faces of my ancestors glow 
with psychic energy of urgent hope 
to transcend limits each body presents 
in my quest to evolve from fish to god. 

Halfway along timeline of special change 
through progress of spirit development, 
I find myself in temporary state 
as wingless angel with obsessive faith 
that I can survive constant global wars 
to generate new life before I die. 

Wearing mask of my public character 
to disguise true persona of my soul, 
I apply cosmetic glamor of faith 
that shields my spirit from mocking attack 
by people also wearing masks of fear 
so we preserve our wounds with pious care. 

I will not gamble through reverent risk 
in social games of competitive stance 
with fierce obsessive strife for starless fame 
as national Dream Star who represents 
persona people need to see perform 
dramatic role of hero who fights death. 

Evading eyes of death in camera lens 
that lures me to perform on stage of fame, 
I slip through cracks in walls of paradise 
to hide in cavern of Persephone 
who smiles and gives me pungent fruit to eat 
as I strum lyre of Mercury and weep. 

Though hidden deep in underworld of faith 
where I sing heart-enchanting spells of hope, 
I dance secure my soul is safe in Hell 
far from the lightning-judgment eyes of God 
who punishes vain mortals for false pride, 
till I grow wings from weird wounds of my heart. 

Masks people wear appear at first opaque 
so I suspend judgment when we first meet, 
but actions they perform and words they speak 
render their faces transparent to view 
which lets me see clear who they really are, 
and what fear motivates how they behave. 

While I float in mirror of perfect masks, 
I feel my special spirit navigate 
ever-shifting maze of conceptual myths 
as I glow brighter with maturity, 
peaceful with happiness at my progress 
since I know I will at last dissipate.

Trite Tomb Of Truth

Trite Tomb Of Truth
© Surazeus
2025 10 26

Strange happiness of the time-neutered mind 
encourages me to photograph the ghost 
whose black eyes sparkle with eccentric fruit 
designed to charge our bodies with delight 
so we embrace with delicate respect 
and dance together by the moonlit pool. 

She digs up the chocolate bar of desire 
from where it was buried in the front yard, 
and eats despair of darkness in the heart 
so we might suffer alligator hope 
when sad leaf falls in loneliness of faith 
in case we decide we want to know why. 

No motive trapped inside the geode shows 
why rage erupts from engine egg of lust 
contrived by ramblers without gold guitars 
to prove in court how often rain might fall 
till dams are shattered by unfaithful cheats 
who sell our treasures to the hungry king. 

Lost in dark labyrinth of fashioned dreams, 
I see my face reflected in the mask 
the bitter devil wears when he attempts 
to tempt me with sweet glamor of world fame, 
so I must execute sharp turn from grace 
to save my soul from damnation of pride. 

Yet when I open window at midnight 
I see white face of the robotic owl 
who watches me with fractured crystal eyes 
while I type holy code of fortitude 
to program how my brain perceives your face 
because I love to float in outer space. 

Every romance in history of the world 
ends in tragic death of both characters 
whether they succeed in their plan or not 
to generate new life before they die 
since clans establish empire of control 
based on the lie of sacred royalty. 

Divine regret of blatant attitudes, 
pasted in the margins of holy books, 
releases me from tension of concern 
that I may not earn entry through the gate 
where Peter judges deeds my heart performs 
based on intention to create the good. 

Real nothingness inside my hollow heart 
increases vibrate flush of putrid air 
so I float aimlessly on plastic wings 
above the endless global maze of myths 
where I see every person on the Earth 
walk confidently toward trite tomb of truth. 



Holy Code Of Doom

Holy Code Of Doom

2025 10 26

Each time we talk about the nothingness 
that time contrives from holy code of doom, 
nine angels scream from white thornapple blooms 
when I brew wine from petals of their dreams 
and dance with sweet delirium of faith 
through alabaster swirl of frantic wings. 

If we find ancient souls in mirror rocks 
that waves compose from holy code of doom, 
nine horses leap across abyss of fate 
with fractured letters I can use to type 
reports about commercial platitudes 
concerning shipment of electric wings. 

Though children throw sad stories in the sea 
that transforms ghosts from holy code of doom, 
nine gods conspire to fool the human race 
by warping woof of time disangled weird 
back wracking undead rainbow ordinance 
defining how we want to eat fried wings. 

Stoked to skate swift across stark lake of ice 
with swirling grace from holy code of doom, 
nine swans erupt from old computer screens 
on helicopter flight through temple walls 
beyond reluctant garden where she smiles 
and freezes in the cube of flashing wings. 

Besides our bleeding hearts in bowl of glass 
as butterflies from holy code of doom, 
nine nurses welcome us to maze of myths 
where dinosaurs play piano and flute 
in concert staged to raise funds for the farm 
since cows fly to the moon on paper wings. 

Before we talk about the genocide 
reconfigured by holy code of doom, 
nine tyrants attend global conference 
to strategize how they control our minds 
through system of corporate slavery 
where we work in factories sewing wings. 

After I fall nine days and nights to Hell 
where I stock shelves at the grocery store, 
nine librarians rearrange strange books 
to misconstrue progress of history 
so greedy losers seem to win the game 
and decorate the White House with glass wings. 

Each hour weird visions calculate my fate 
to change my gender back and forth again, 
nine prophets resurrect Tiresias 
from field of rubber tires that burn with hate 
till brave Minerva escapes from my head 
and restores democracy with her blood. 



Heaven Of His Dreams

Heaven Of His Dreams
© Surazeus
2025 10 26

As sunlight glimmers on large grapevine leaves 
and honeybees murmur around Dianthus, 
buzzing among frilly petals of hope, 
old gray-haired Vedius lounges in small bower, 
snoozing half-asleep in drowsy contentment  
as he cradles wand with goat by his feet. 

Reliving passionate days of his youth, 
frail Vedius, with wrinkled skin on his arms, 
chases cute Furina around the spring 
till they embrace and feed each other grapes, 
sweet pleasure that makes him quiver in sleep 
as he moans at sweetness at warm sunlight. 

Sweet songs of nymphs in silver moonlight shriek 
loud at startled loathing of stuttered fright 
that shocks muddle-headed Vedius awake 
who leaps to his feet and clutches his wand 
at swirling dizzy angst of frantic dread 
when he stares at thick smoke in mute dismay. 

Trembling in consternation of distress, 
decrepit vintner Vedius staggers shocked 
at sight of shadow men on thundering horses 
who race between buildings of his estate 
while they swing swords that slash bodies in rage 
and throw brands of red flames on timber roofs. 

Paralyzed in shock at hot swirling flames, 
enervated Vedius huddles in tholos, 
where he manages his vineyard estate, 
and watches helpless to protect his world 
as flames destroy everything he has built, 
reducing all his work to heaps of ash. 

Dawn sun glitters blood red in swirls of smoke 
as fragile Vedius lurks on trembling legs 
among fire-blistered wineries and tanks, 
kneeling to caress skull of each burned soul 
and whisper their name with shamed affection, 
then weeps at sight of vine hills charred to ash. 

Starting with nothing but one sprouted vine, 
resolute Vedius worked for fifty years 
transforming bare hills to rows of grape vines 
that surround wineries, crush pads, and tanks, 
where hundreds of people once bottled wine 
and delivered them all over the land. 

Sitting in marble tholos that remains 
alone among charred ruins of his world, 
stalwart Vedius stares at the empty sky 
that glimmers silently above black hills, 
and smiles with bitter-sweet sadness of pride 
that he created Heaven of his dreams. 



Wings Of Earnest Hope

Wings Of Earnest Hope

2025 10 26

Because time flies on wings of earnest hope 
Minerva stands still on the windless rock 
and gazes over fields of skeletons 
that wander circles among fruitless trees 
and wail with sorrow at vanishing clouds 
for beauty to bless life with joyful play. 

Ignoring soft alarm on broken clock, 
Melody leans on dusty window sill 
and watches pine trees flutter in cold wind 
that shift enough to reveal tall glass towers 
where seagulls flock at harbor of Seattle 
framed by sleeping volcano of Takoma. 

Four thousand years of endless spinning time 
links golden thread of genes between their hearts 
as two young woman born in one bloodline 
consider nature of our conscious brains 
expressed through faces of our yearning minds 
to savor pleasure of feeling alive. 

This world teems with existing beings of light 
who seek to progress past entanglement 
while trudging through dark pathless woods of fear 
till we discover grove of apple trees 
that gleam in sunlight on the river shore 
where we construct safe haven of stone walls. 

Erecting wall of stones with blistered hands, 
Minerva breathes ethereal soul of hope 
as she envisions soul-protecting hall 
where children learn tales of humanity 
that moralize our failure and success 
through tragedy and comedy of deeds. 

Alone at the quiet library desk, 
Melody types essay on her laptop 
to define good economic programs 
based on analysis of data points 
that prove hypothesis of deep research 
presenting ways to increase wealth for all. 

Leading army of tooth-born warriors, 
Minerva charges up ziggurat steps 
to fight dictatorship of elite greed 
in battle to drive King Midas from power 
and free the people of the world to live 
through equal justice of communal faith. 

Stepping off the bus in downtown Seattle, 
Melody adjusts wings of earnest hope 
she made from blueprints Icarus designed, 
and joins protesters marching maze of streets 
in brave defiance against tyranny 
to protect and nurture democracy.

Radiant Jewel Ghost

Radiant Jewel Ghost
© Surazeus
2025 10 25

If I perceive the radiant jewel ghost, 
who emanates from writhing words in books, 
my heart will sprout electric wings of faith 
so I find courage through communal strength 
to fight against oppressors in gray suits 
who program tricks that exploit honest hands. 

Enchanted forest in the city park 
lures lonely people stuck in offices 
to wander nowhere on the signless road 
where they assemble shadows of lost truths 
in ever-shifting puzzle that illudes 
innocent souls with dreams of paradise. 

Regret for losing key to gates of Hell 
inspire my journey through the Underworld 
where Pluto teaches me to forge gold coins 
with blood of dragons dripping from dead trees 
so I can purchase loyalty of fools 
who are willing to be employed as tools. 

Entranced by haunting tune of the bone flute, 
that causes me to float in ecstasy, 
I wander busy streets on Sabbath night 
to hear weird spells that happy witches chant 
while hungry men build castle walls from fear 
that worms devour our brains before we die. 

I always love the radiant jewel ghost 
because she understands my secret heart 
while writing prophecies on palace walls 
that warn the wealthy of apocalypse 
before the world stock market crashes again 
so millions wander lost from burning homes. 

Her spirit lives forever in my heart 
though she disappears on dark Samhain night, 
so I wear clever disguise to evade 
hungry vampires searching for my tense soul 
that radiates music from conceptual waves 
each time I stand and sing the haunting tune. 

I must return to work before red dawn 
drenches city towers in menstrual blood 
from which spring angel-robots with ten eyes 
who teach us how to vote for one we trust 
to manage operations each four years 
till jet planes transform into graceful swans. 

Thus I will claim the fallen jeweled crown, 
then wander awkwardly in castle halls 
where none but ghosts still whisper my true name 
because I refuse to play the blame game 
that Zeus decreed I will obey or die, 
so I hold hands with the woman I love. 



Mayhem Of Untwisted Roads

Mayhem Of Untwisted Roads
© Surazeus
2025 10 25

Through constant mayhem of untwisted roads, 
split by dark strangulation measured wrong, 
she helps manipulate system of clouds 
that drenches morbid valleys with false tears, 
though children bury masks in river mud 
to prove their right to eat fruit from dead trees. 

Emergent trauma trips ascending gods 
whose bodies bend far temporarily 
around inclined assertion fraught with light 
which fools extreme heartbeat of tame contempt 
to join wild contest at the festival 
long hosted by the faceless god of stones. 

If freedom could be monetized by faith 
through soured neglect of perfidious creeds, 
our privileged bodies might exchange respect 
for mischarged desire stained by honesty 
despite elected key of cankered fear 
we share with strangers on the ocean beach. 

Close to forever suavity, despised 
by bookless prophets without social rights, 
we dance with courage of the broken tree 
to climb unregistered walls gods destroy 
before enchanted demons can escape, 
alone in pleasure of abandonment. 

I purchase strange way to be beautiful 
by tossing unearned prizes in the lake 
against mute hesitation precisely placed, 
though time unlocks considered entropy, 
uneasily though brains deconstruct fame, 
before we can process our bitter loss. 

Unquiet dissertation solved by risk 
records eye of our spirits without rain, 
too slick for runners born less self-aware, 
so we share hard-earned merit with our friends 
who whisper false regrets of bitter joy 
while kissing where the blue crane cries in pain. 

Trapped by intentions of the reckless spell, 
I drive old rusty truck on muddy roads 
and shout in gusts of rain-perceptive wind, 
the more I leap abyss of nothingness 
the closer I approach meaningful jokes 
to find my face in mirror of the sky. 

Uncertain precious days of life are mine, 
I lie prone on eccentric grass of fate 
to free my heart from miracles of love 
till I float blissful on bright radio waves 
to sing weird haunting melody of hope 
against bleak darkness of this world we share. 



Museum Of Mad Souls

Museum Of Mad Souls
© Surazeus
2025 10 25

Entangled stories of religious myths 
reveal common elements of one faith 
that binds all human minds in firm belief 
we carve as symbols on black monoliths 
which vibrate with spirit of the god wraith 
who offers comfort in our hour of grief. 

Composing frame of social reference 
to better organize random events 
in coherent narrative of my life, 
I attend grand celestial conference 
to analyze what each trope represents 
in how I gain wisdom through psychic strife. 

While strolling in Museum of Mad Souls, 
I study masks of ancient characters, 
that still includes prophets, jesters, and kings, 
to understand how they designed their roles 
as choir directors or vain choristers 
who devise proverbs from heart sufferings. 

Each time I learn new facts about the world, 
and see how other people choose their fate 
through decisions made in the heat of fear, 
I expand my story as cosmic herald 
who maps history so I can navigate 
maze of myths designed by the Puppeteer. 

As prophet cursed to watch effects unfold, 
from causes sparked by fear-empowered greed, 
I project vision of Heaven on Earth 
that we create from ideals angels mold 
to nurture paradise with fruitful seed 
so we ensure success of spirit birth. 

As jester urged by quick rebellious mind, 
to rewrite system of progressive rules, 
I leap outside flow of accepted norms 
to broaden perspective of all mankind 
with magic results of conceptual tools 
we employ to survive destructive storms. 

As king commissioned by popular will, 
to manage their skills in productive work, 
I build global food-production machine 
through capital that funds crops on the hill 
distributed to all as social perk 
that nurtures growth with creative routine. 

As game host in Museum of Mad Souls, 
trained by Minerva to record the truth, 
I carve special personality masks 
for growing children to invent their roles 
through divine vision of messiah sleuth 
who grants vacation from our tedious tasks. 



Invisible Harps Of Light

Invisible Harps Of Light
© Surazeus
2025 10 25

I will steal invisible harps of light 
strummed by old lonely watcher of the skies, 
then sing of love for everyone alive, 
though nations crowded in vast cities fight 
over whose leader rules with better lies 
based on principles for which people strive. 

Since no world messiah has yet appeared 
in spaceship flashing high among the clouds, 
I hand out religious brochures to sell 
national pride that does not seem too weird 
for loyal mannequins in cheering crowds 
who curse their opponents to burn in Hell. 

Lamenting how they drove old Dixie down, 
I laugh from ruins of our enterprise, 
then fight to trash game of democracy 
till we elect as king the greedy clown 
who sneers with harsh contempt to demonize 
honest people who follow Liberty. 

I pluck my heart from pool of bitter tears 
and with ravenous gluttony devour 
hearts of the poor who slave in factories 
yet hope to buy enough to purchase fears 
embodied by blind princess in the tower 
who legalizes social policies. 

I marvel to remember idle thoughts 
cawed by the three-eyed raven of far sight 
through which I prophesy with riddling spells 
fall of our world empire to wise robots 
who master graceful mystery of flight 
when serpents slither from dried-up oil wells. 

As Flower of the Mountain I adore, 
my wife designs ten thousand characters 
for children in the meadow where ghosts play 
while I work selling costumes at the store 
that mask Cinderellas and Jupiters 
who ask their fathers if they want to pray. 

Along the highway crowded with gray cars 
the Charioteer with Bow of burning gold 
races swiftly toward the White House at dawn 
to readjust dire fortune of the stars 
and retrieve sacred treasures that were sold, 
but weeps when he finds out he is my pawn. 

Calm in safe cradle of world history, 
new-born messiah sleuth waits for his time 
to ride Gold Dragon of imperial power 
when he attempts to solve the mystery 
recorded in weird riddles without rhyme 
how sunlight becomes fruit inside the flower.

Dream-Ache Of Oneiralgia

Dream-Ache Of Oneiralgia
© Surazeus
2025 10 24

Oblivion of faith in blank field of snow, 
that erases our corrupted world view, 
calls us to stir from beauty of the dream 
where we thrive in community of trust, 
but wake with ache for what has never been 
with oneiralgia for that Never World. 

Heart mutable with adjectives of hope, 
I walk forever on the signless road 
with ache of love still rotting in my hands 
to find shadow of Heaven in my heart 
where I can hide from demon of desire 
whose beauty lures me to valley of death. 

Bright in smudged mirror of Forever Now, 
my past and future selves unborn play me 
behind mask of hunger I have to wear, 
which my mother crafted for me from love, 
so I can bear it as lamp of her heart 
with weird glow that reveals road I must blaze. 

Awake in lonely times of Nevermore, 
I gaze at pages in the holy book, 
with cover crafted from orange melon skin, 
to dream how my mother performed her role 
with improvised assertion of calm grace 
to maintain dignity of honest schemes. 

Resolve to aim for target of respect, 
which must objectify cruel contempt, 
inspires her shameless passion to design 
our complex system of communal rites 
that maps strict pattern of performance art 
which channels how we generate new life. 

Unbidden by dream-pain of fractured eyes, 
when I design weird oneiralgic spells, 
I float in laughter of the stopless clock 
to measure change of blossoms from my corpse 
when children pluck fruit from my tangled limbs 
and sing while feasting on juice of the sun. 

Returning as the crow with crystal eyes, 
I dance in ring of stones at flash of dawn 
to raise wise Cleopatra from the dead 
so she can occupy my monstrous head 
with revelation that conceptual pride 
can nurture how messiahs rule the world. 

Though all we build has fallen into ruins, 
demolished by the crownless king of greed, 
we dance with serpent of the fruitful tree 
and plot new revolution to restore 
global state where oneiromancers weave 
world tapestry that includes every soul. 



Analysis Of Psychic Spies

Analysis Of Psychic Spies

2025 10 24

Because we fall back into dreams of books 
and float on undulating words of hope, 
we savor magic formulas of cooks 
whose potions encourage our hearts to cope 
with endless passion of existing real 
through psychic dance in sync with fateless wheel. 

He honors everything her heart can say 
based on assertive wisdom of the sea 
that molds our bodies from riddles we say 
to trick the devil who gives us the key 
which beams bright energy of our free will 
that radiates from god eye which vibrates still. 

To solve strange riddles in the book of truth 
he translates formless thoughts to clever verse 
designed by gestures of messiah sleuth 
with slick deceptive vision of the curse 
that traps our minds in endless loop of lies 
based on analysis of psychic spies. 

Drop of her gleaming menstruation blood 
evolves from fish to angel with star eyes 
who steals ripe apples from spiders in mud 
to feed his pregnant wife whose turtle flies 
beyond perspective framed by creed of fools 
to fine-tune engine of love with fake tools. 

With anxious spinning of misfortune wheel 
she suffers cycle of constant rebirth 
four hundred million years of filmless reel 
that weaves our memories into one Earth 
where maze of cities mushroom from our hands 
through blueprints of theological plans. 

Returning from the market outside town, 
she gives large squash to everyone who laughs 
at frantic antics of the savior clown 
who hangs from telephone poles of giraffes 
at sacred ritual of spiritual war 
while she attends the family grocery store. 

Reaching out her hand with effortless fear, 
she opens rose-window portal to leap 
ten thousand worlds beside the puppeteer 
in holy war against the greedy creep 
who demolished palace of Camelot 
while world queen escapes almost getting shot. 

No crownless king, lost in the apple grove, 
could understand high stakes of liberty 
till they lose everything to selfless love 
for graceful princess of democracy 
who rules the parallel world with respect 
for equal justice as mental concept. 



Untouchable Hope For Love

Untouchable Hope For Love

2025 10 24

Based on your correspondence with the moon 
we wish to advise you of flustered wings 
that frame morbid emptiness of the sky 
with fractured words people hide in their hearts, 
sharp as teeth of serpents among the rocks 
that angels use to construct paradise. 

Because the mind of God could name itself 
with precious beauty of the souvenir, 
which you bought at the desert-road dream stall, 
you crave adamant sweetness of ripe pears 
that flash with untouchable hope for love 
contained by eccentric pulse of false wealth. 

Stained by voice at the end of the world, 
you photograph horizon of the heart 
where wood ships bobble on arrogant waves 
while chasing summer clouds to paradise 
where lonely gods with headaches fume at faith 
that fractures belief systems of the lost. 

Electric ghosts who travel galaxies 
divide their hearts with wings of butterflies 
to trap fierce heretics in divine tombs 
who preach the power of grass to revive 
loyal zombies from cluttered words of jokes 
who cannot solve fraught mortality game. 

Still in love with the laughing demoness, 
you smile against grim horror of this world 
when you glimpse nothingness of final death 
that shocks our bodies after each car crash 
releases the blue bird of happiness 
whose song reveals the monster in my heart. 

Encased in cylinder of throbbing brains, 
too expensive for agencies to buy, 
you measure vast formation of the Earth 
to feel the suffering of the homeless poor 
who stand in line at the locked church door 
to buy faith with devalued currency. 

Born from explosions of celestial bombs 
as greatest generation in the world, 
you fly on silk wings of angelic pride 
above the vast suburban maze of homes 
where children trapped in television tubes 
follow Moses to land of Zathamar. 

If we hark back to age of high romance, 
when kings attempt to manage farm estates, 
you may transform from humble kitchen maid 
to clever Empress ruling Wonderland 
who shines your hour on world proscenium 
till you find me in mirror of your heart.

Lonely Tree Of Trust

Lonely Tree Of Trust
© Surazeus
2025 10 23

If we must separate our broken hearts 
on islands sheltered by generous frames 
that float on opposite sides of the globe, 
we should aspire to question normal thought, 
constrained by sense of terror about life, 
so we can paint our faces on the sky. 

Entranced by prayer of holy mountain frogs, 
I pass the time as radiant jewel ghost 
who lingers fondly in the distant past 
to stretch my sorrow past infinity 
wrapped in strange absence of this prescient hour 
when I become the lonely tree of trust. 

Confused by sharpness of the golden time 
when we sit silently in grove of elms, 
I give you secret laughter bees design 
who lead us home to garden of childhood 
where leaves are mirrors of forgotten masks 
we used to wear when we played hide and seek. 

Almost forgetting how to calculate 
fractions of feelings we hide in small seeds, 
I savor passion of advancing age 
as I decay from discretions of youth 
when dreams of paradise I could create 
converge with fractured fantasy of faith. 

Concealing serpent in my ardent heart, 
I drive east on long highway of intent 
pasts houses half-seen in time-shifting fog 
where all my ancestors wait in dark rooms 
for me to visit hearth of memories 
so they can drift away into the stars. 

Because I float in hot spring of respect 
to cleanse my wounded heart of foul contempt, 
I call to brilliant angels of blind clouds 
to bring me sacred books demons compose 
so I can view with apprehensive glance 
complex formulas that define the real. 

I fail to stay on highways paved with laws, 
yet park my weeping car among dead elms, 
then walk across meadows of screaming stones 
to scatter flowers on graves of old gods 
whose names now label thriving market towns 
where faceless children wear their broken masks. 

Unsanctioned creed of rebellious kings 
mismeasures strange topography of fate 
where we construct vast maze of city streets 
so everyone lives in mansion of mirrors 
to play deceptive witness to the crime 
when he chops down the lonely tree of trust. 



Code Of Honest Love

Code Of Honest Love
© Surazeus
2025 10 23

Famous for reflecting unlight of faith 
through shimmer of the ever-flowing sea, 
my heart longs to connect through apple roots 
with holy Anahita of the cave 
who gives me cup of milk to drink her soul 
that overflows in rainfall of new words. 

Eight thousand years ago in mountain woods 
where crows discuss weird beauty of her face, 
my precious Anahita gathers light 
in flashing swirls of psychic energy 
that she collects through writhing crack of dawn 
to help prepare our souls for second birth. 

Misunderstanding code of honest love, 
which animates first mother of all souls, 
I dance with graceful elegance of fear 
within the sacred pale of diamond stones 
that radiate rainbow wings of human brains 
to wake divine mind of stars in my brain. 

Through resurrection of conceptual ghosts, 
whose spirits beam from stars of dreamless eyes, 
I feel my body glow with ardent faith 
that I may live beyond blind nothingness 
till I realize illusion of false hope 
when I accept strict limit of my life. 

Absorbing moonlight through my paper skin, 
my soul invents weird memory of fierce strife 
to survive through luminescence of faith 
which reveals where Anahita now lives 
amid aggressive swarm of butterflies 
till I perish from attention of love. 

Brave vanity springs from crack of my heart 
to swirl among unacceptable hills 
where rugged cross of great authority 
heeds message from three angels of despair 
who challenge codependence based on trust 
since I dispose my fears outside locked doors. 

With tenderness of paranoid respect 
I pay attention to lies people hide 
behind treacly bromides that placate rage 
despite contrition demons recommend 
for children who neglect to study laws 
designed to protect our bodies from harm. 

Since Anahita rules land of Zathar 
with conceptual scepter that sprouts grape vines, 
I offer tourists bowls of bloody milk 
which heals deep wounds that fester in their hearts 
so iron cherub can catch tears of faith 
when Gabriel programs code of honest love. 



Headless Idol Of Helios

Headless Idol Of Helios

2025 10 23

I hide regret for how I lose my brain 
when it detaches and floats among clouds 
with haughty disdain of the red balloon 
that drifts down to the hidden Cyclades 
to visit strange land where Poseidon rules 
through azure waters of unyielding hope. 

Since I am admired son of Helios, 
removed from political games of power 
long fought between contending gangs of thieves, 
I never meddle in daily affairs 
when money clerks shout in grand temple halls 
for whose social program defines the state. 

Though I have no idea what to do 
with bag of wind Aeolus sold to me 
to send our merchant ships across the sea, 
I give my precious pearls of solitude 
to every goddess I meet on the beach 
where they dance with abandon of the lost. 

From Babylon to Phoenicia to Rome 
I build great empire with the golden sword 
that Justice wields according to my whim 
to track where rebellious Icarus flies 
in revolution of the working class 
against divine kings in castles of glass. 

Shocked by the ardent gaze of holy fools, 
who replace my will with communal rules, 
I coil aggressive sorrow of my heart 
with lithe serpentine grace of honest greed 
around the Tree of Knowledge to proclaim 
that I will sell my kingdom for your horse. 

Entangled by confusing states of mind 
between empire and local farming rights, 
I gather trash of lies strewn along roads 
while reciting riddles of social codes 
designed by Homer to explain why gods 
deign to play with proud humans in chess games. 

Stuck somewhere deep in maze of national myths 
about superior wisdom of my race, 
I study headless idol of Helios 
that toppled from its lofty pedestal 
when silver airplanes of angels dropped bombs 
in world war that shattered Kingdom of God. 

Wandering with my Muse in pine-thick hills 
around holy Mount Takoma white with snow, 
I find the long-lost lyre of Mercury 
so I walk east along ancestral roads 
from Oregon to Avalon to Rome 
and sing about the Fall of Icarus.

Last Son Of Endymion

Last Son Of Endymion

2025 10 22

If I consider how time twists my brain 
with ardent pain of blatant inner peace, 
I translate fears that I may cease to be 
to brave romantic character of faith 
who plays with shadows of the magic mind 
to navigate weird chance of fake success. 

Lost in vast labyrinth of holy books, 
where I encounter ghosts of noble gods, 
I wear masks fallen from museum walls 
to live fraught alien experience 
so I expand scope of knowledge to play 
alert attention to how fame fools men. 

Since loveliness of beauty will increase 
with each new bloom from nothingness of fate, 
I breathe intense respect of fractured joy 
to channel cosmic soul of mindless stars 
through fragile anguish of my hungry flesh 
so I dance freely in green world of streams. 

Encoding rich grandeur of mortal doom 
in serious satires about bitter kings, 
I drink sweet wine of tragic romance tales 
that praise the mighty dead with mocking hymns 
through cheering light that animates our souls 
with boundless beauty of exquisite death. 

Reborn as last son of Endymion 
to walk the signless road of global fame, 
I map confusing maze of mystic myths 
detailing frantic quests of clownish kings 
who think they can assert legal control 
over how people pursue happiness. 

Surprised awake by martial trumpet blow, 
that rings against stone walls of paradise, 
I drive my car on crowded road of ghosts 
on grand adventure to the office cube 
where I solve riddles tinged with sad despair 
to map whole history of the human race. 

Face veiled by psychic mist demons design, 
I rearrange fragments of puzzling facts 
through infinite array of framed concepts 
based firm on pure ontology of fate 
that beams from steadfast star of splendid love 
we share with strange unchangeable desire. 

What brave Elysium we have always known 
could welcome singers to lush flowered fields 
who gather at round table of concern 
to hear jokes blind astrologers dare tell 
which prophesy reign of the Mermaid Queen 
who weeps at how pain twists my fertile brain. 



Dream Chemistry Of Love

Dream Chemistry Of Love

2025 10 22

Undone by mist of many-headed sorrow, 
that hides wounds of our hearts with inner peace, 
I drift alone with unrelenting grace 
among rows of tall buildings where souls hide 
behind masks of glowing computer screens 
to calculate dream chemistry of love. 

We decide to die as the family 
that stays together on the signless road 
till we arrive at orchard by the sea 
where bodies of our ancestors restore 
geography of beauty we admire 
though we keep searching for country of songs. 

Arrested by strange wisdom of the sky 
that covers our valley with snowflake words, 
we think about what name we should apply 
to restless catalogue of hills and lakes 
where our children build homes in dark woods 
by carving letters on the eyeless stone. 

Each ghost of God, new born at intervals 
through punctuated progress centuries old, 
considers bloodline weaving brains with dreams 
so we claim land of birth as our own space 
where we cook meals for sacred holidays, 
then wander lost in vast library halls. 

No visitor would purchase emptiness 
contained by essence of the noble chair 
except the blind seer who might tame the horse 
to dance with graceful attitude of pride 
based on our friendship preserved by the moon 
that smiles at crowds of people on the plain. 

Because the wind folds our hearts into prayers 
that dare to open doors of grim contempt, 
she writes her secret name on flashing cloud 
that shifts reality through each new frame 
at sudden echo of the absent voice 
which teaches her to arrogate our fate. 

Symbolic meaning glowing from sea slime 
defies each stranger moving into town 
who paints name of her mother on road signs 
with luminescent laughter trapped in homes 
which are no more than tombs for nameless tales 
unfinished at metallic end of time. 

Amazed by luminous phantom of truth, 
I hope the girl with hundred million eyes 
will mold my brain from diamond-flashing eyes 
based on weird prophecy no one can solve 
encased in fractured mirror of my mind 
to activate dream chemistry of love. 



Weird Traumatic Events

Weird Traumatic Events

2025 10 22

This voice I design from stark agony 
translates screams of horror to songs of joy 
consistent with hope-standard principles 
we humans invent to manage despair 
as we keep walking down the signless road 
through bitter storms to find the Promised Land. 

Expansive scope of concepts I express 
assimilates every possible thought 
that human brains devise from fluid flash 
of images replayed from memory banks 
to analyze weird traumatic events 
and program productive response of faith. 

Young girl hiding in sky-sprawling oak tree 
gasps in shock to see gang of men destroy 
safe family home her wise grandfather built 
with hands that molded matter of the Earth 
to form protective walls of sincere faith 
till grand halls are reduced to rubble heaps. 

Suppressing screams of horrible despair 
so wreckers cannot find her hiding place, 
Minerva runs away into dark woods 
to crouch in cave beside the waterfall 
where her ancestors lived six thousand years 
and hide in shadows of sweet memories. 

Though they destroyed her safe family home 
to build enormous palace for the rich, 
she returns to stand before castle gate 
till someone hires her as the kitchen cook 
where she bakes bread for the wealthy to eat 
while salting their soup with tears of despair. 

One day Orion, playful carefree son 
of the castle king, who loves to chase girls, 
encounters Minerva rolling pie dough, 
and gazes astonished in her bright eyes, 
so they embrace with passionate desire, 
kissing as they grasp each other with love. 

When she gives birth to his first-born male child, 
Orion crowns Minerva princess bride 
while she sits enthroned in long blue silk gown 
so all the dukes and barons in the land 
kneel before her son as baby crown prince, 
then she sings hymn about her faith in God. 

Trapped in small room in the tall castle tower, 
Minerva turns away from the round mirror 
that reveals her wrinkled face and long gray hair, 
then watches her son riding large white horse 
as he leads army of soldiers with spears 
to build world empire under Christ the King.

Waves Of Psychic Energy

Waves Of Psychic Energy
© Surazeus
2025 10 21

Awed by luxury of conceptual codes 
that angels devise from human despair, 
I subtract wisdom from blank nothingness 
to pay for rent required to live in Hell 
by weaving light in language of the brain 
so every soul may live through liberty. 

Surprised by laughter of the falling leaves, 
that dance with joyful agony of faith, 
I might review weird spirit of the stone 
preserving prophecies blind children scream 
without explosively powerful thoughts 
from almighty revelation of death. 

Concerned about divinity of trees 
that transform soil of bodies from our graves 
to rolling waves of psychic energy, 
I shiver lost in maze of memories 
because all bridges to the past decay 
and leave me stranded in the future place. 

Entranced by linear process of soul change, 
which pulses hot in bodies sewn from dreams, 
I look back down familiar road of fear 
to see I always live beyond despair 
by sounding terse with elemental words 
scattered among pebbles on river shores. 

Ungendered by contempt of my free will, 
more resolute that roaring roads of pain, 
I rise from frenzy through necessity 
to measure frothing fantasy of faith 
while tumbling with respectful attitude 
in universal moment we exchange. 

Mismanaged by perceptive eyes of loss, 
based on extensive flights of fortitude, 
I learn assertive art of writing lies 
with blood of dragons on cathedral walls 
that misdirect your minds from frantic crimes 
when I steal money from your bank accounts. 

Shocked by dire lamentations Gabriel sells 
to bitter raven at the conference 
that smirks on bust of Minerva all night, 
I swim with holy frogs in pond of scum 
to relive evolution of my soul 
four hundred million years from fish to god. 

Confused by words God never speaks to me, 
except through murmur of cold ocean waves, 
I study perfect beauty of the brain 
which conjures virtual model of real Earth 
till I am fooled by pure love to believe 
my consciousness just might survive my death. 



Safe In Hungry Obscurity

Safe In Hungry Obscurity

2025 10 21

We unknown singers of our crowded world, 
who channel spirit of Apollo clear 
in visions that project our fantasies 
about weird socialist Heaven on Earth 
where all are equal in justice of truth, 
are now safe in hungry obscurity. 

Marching together with our flag unfurled, 
that signals program of the puppeteer 
to legalize uniform policies 
which equalize what each person is worth, 
we follow project of messiah sleuth 
to ensure world social security. 

Though we live in hierarchic-powered state, 
which layers classes in high stacks of wealth 
where the rich will always exploit the poor 
in fiscal empire managed by Elite, 
we view Heaven as socialist ideal 
where all are equal under one fair law. 

Bound by families we choose based on fate, 
who share concerns in sickness and in health 
with principle of love fusing our core, 
we thrive through crafting work in one heartbeat 
when we finalize our communal deal 
sealed to help us transcend our tragic flaw. 

If Fame discovers power of our verse 
to wake the people from broken world views, 
which sparks good revolution against greed, 
she would drag us from safe obscurity 
and expose our compassion-tender hearts 
to brutal ridicule of angry mobs. 

Far more than a blessing, Fame is a curse 
that would force us to pay more than our dues 
in noble project to design new creed 
that would provide conceptual surety 
for each soul to analyze their own star charts 
in seeking rewards beyond normal jobs. 

Trapped in trajectory conformed by Fate 
to become special type of character 
that we design through every choice we make, 
we singers of the world, mapping our tales, 
glow bright with passion of sincerity 
when we create vision of paradise. 

Through fertile luck our choices generate, 
inspired by tragic fate of Lucifer, 
we emanate the real to fell the fake, 
then navigate past death on shining trails 
which keeps our souls safe in obscurity, 
purchased from fear with selfless sacrifice. 



New Human Of America

New Human Of America

2025 10 21

Regardless of why trees fall in the woods, 
bank managers insist we pay on time, 
for poor people living in cattle barns 
revolt against the television scene 
by eating waffles with syrup and cream 
while the moon boat sails serenely nowhere. 

Spectators who pay the most for their seats 
cheer on aggressive contests of athletes 
to prove superiority through grace 
inherent in their struggle-polished genes 
which mold dynamic new identities 
that we perform in game of liberty. 

New human of America transcends 
class conflict on old crowded continent 
to forge more splendid race of warriors 
who fight for liberty of every soul 
against oppression of theology 
because we come from everywhere to live. 

Toward everywhere I go with brave intent 
to build new empire on the wild frontier 
opposed to tyranny of hungry wealth 
till Hercules pays Mammon to destroy 
the White House where Jesus once reigned as king 
and build grand palace with vast maze of mirrors. 

This tangled border between warring lands 
festers as open wound of bitter pride 
contrived from doctrine of the master race 
who march as soldiers of the bleeding flag 
to conquer wretched hills of minerals 
with program to extract wealth from our hearts. 

I hold the key that nobody has lost 
to open doors of cathedrals as tombs 
where serpent of fire with platinum wings 
reveals the way of passionate respect 
to reinvent our shared America 
where everyone here lives equally free. 

Though war tanks rumble over fields of wheat 
to chase swift deer across prairies of wheat, 
bright flowers of the people bloom again 
as we assemble on the river shore 
and sing of beauty in courageous eyes 
that see utopian heaven we could build. 

The people of America are formed 
from all the peoples living on the Earth, 
now unified with secret language code 
which binds dramatic tension of respect 
in new world order of the dreamless eye 
that opens in eight billion minds we share.

Gliding With Demon Breath

Gliding With Demon Breath
© Surazeus
2025 10 20

Too far beyond tomorrow I have flown 
on excess sorrow of the rolling stone, 
so I build bridges between lonely hearts 
while selling illusions from apple carts 
because the living room light flickers faint 
at sudden appearance of the sad saint. 

Grief carves accelerated counterpoints 
in timeless passion on my boneless joints 
till I leap in deep lake of honest pain 
to drink electric wisdom of dawn rain 
so I can represent facts about life 
with inventive process of psychic strife. 

My heart cannot afford to lose its faith 
in randomness of events twined by the wraith 
who teaches me to summon wingless birds 
based on arrogant loneliness of words 
that bind my body to this shaking globe 
which I feel spinning though I wear my robe. 

Dire exaltation shouted in springtime 
traps me in public pageant of bold crime 
because I dream the world will end in flame 
consistent with random rules of the game 
we play forever in each life reborn 
till I wander away with heart forlorn. 

Though treachery of nostalgia lures my heart 
to long for sacred past that falls apart, 
I pause to hear the heartless siren wail 
as she laments the project I would fail, 
so I imagine every way to die 
while gliding with demon breath in the sky. 

In charge of my own secret consciousness, 
I try to build Bridge of Forgetfulness, 
but ghosts of laughter dance on my lost grave, 
so I hide while singing in the grandiose cave 
about how people weep in castle towers 
where I must practice divination powers. 

Escaping to the place where I was born, 
I walk beyond horizon of gold corn, 
to chat with frog of gold hypnotic eyes 
who weaves my network of psychotic spies 
when the bitter king tears down the White House 
in vain attempt to confiscate my spouse. 

Sly proverb that declares with sanity 
how we must learn from dire calamity 
to live the present through enlightenment, 
till pride chains our souls with entitlement, 
surprises me with falseness of its tone 
analyzed by sneer of the mountain crone. 



Hollow Heart Of Liberty

Hollow Heart Of Liberty
© Surazeus
2025 10 20

If dry stones in the waste land sing to me 
with voice of angels in the wordless heat, 
I shelter hollow heart of liberty 
among the heap of broken images 
where branches twist from roots of silent grief 
in angry trees that never blossom fruit. 

Strange shadow of my soul under red rock 
considers something different from our truth 
based on stark fear in the handful of dust 
that swirls in fresh wind of the verdant isle 
where hyacinths bloom from grave of the girl 
whose wet hair shimmers in my morning dream. 

Though I could not speak of my aching love, 
nor could my eyes see visage of her soul, 
I gaze into the silent heart of light 
to hear weird song of ocean waves call me 
with eerie voice of wordless ecstasy 
while I float mute in nothingness of time. 

No clairvoyant with pack of tarot cards, 
posing as graceful Lady of the Rocks, 
attempts to read the fortune of my stars 
then prophesy my hanging from the tree 
when Fame discovers my safe hiding place 
and drags to the public square of faith. 

My secret horoscope in Book of Jokes, 
programmed in riddling code of urgency, 
lures me to walk Bridge of Forgetfulness 
where faceless people, long undone by death, 
still follow guiding star of rainbow wealth 
that leads them to the wrecked ship on the shore. 

Now no one sits on burnished throne of sight 
that shimmers on high ziggurat of power 
before fraught table of the sacrifice 
where the Holy Grail topples on its side 
and spills blood of salvation from the book 
at stalemate end of our chess game with Death. 

Paused on the busy street in cool twilight 
before the bookstore glowing gold with hope, 
I wonder why in sixty years of life 
I have never heard the nightingale sing, 
so I place diamond ring of solitude 
on fractured marble mantel of my heart. 

When long-departed nymphs of faith return 
with Holy Book of Fairy Tales form Hell, 
I sit beneath the apple tree of time 
to meditate on the meaning of life 
as I become Buddha Tiresias 
spawned from the hollow heart of liberty. 



Weird Emptiness Of Truth

Weird Emptiness Of Truth
© Surazeus
2025 10 20

Wide-angle view inside my empty heart 
reveals ten billion faceless ghosts of fate 
who ask if I remember shocking hour 
ten million years ago on river shore 
when we first faced the giant demon toad 
with gold flashing eyes and razor-sharp teeth. 

After Theseus defeats the Minotaur 
in glorious battle against monstrous hate, 
he works as mechanic at the car shop, 
fixing piston engines with crafty hands 
so we can drive our time machines to work, 
then back home to eat dinner with the kids. 

Regaling companions at fine restaurants, 
while eating beef steak and drinking tart wine, 
the Great Movie Director with grand words 
relates sordid tales of his past triumphs 
creating the best movies of all time 
about corruption of powerful men. 

Because laughter gives birth to foul discourse 
by insulting men of authority 
to prove they are just as mortal as us, 
I prance with wild exaggerated jest 
to mock the thief who thinks he is our king 
so I laugh when I fall on my own face. 

While the humble shepherd with curving harp 
sings reverent psalms of worshipful respect 
for power of Nature to create souls, 
kings wield their holy books as sharpened swords 
to kill rebels who laugh at their false pride 
till the Jester kills the Tyrant with one stone. 

We climb misty peaks of intelligence 
to peer in gloomy furnaces of fate 
where laws of metaphysics control change, 
so we can break through walls of worldly pride 
and dance with eager diabolic joy 
on graves of gods who writhe in agony. 

Observing imperfections of the mind, 
I scorn aggressive tyranny of doubt 
to weep with laughter from calamity 
that shakes foundation of our world empire 
through shock of willful liberty to sing 
about our suffering in the prison camp. 

Constrained by maxim of the wise buffoon 
that laughter raises saviors from the dead, 
I purchase at expense of brave virtue 
soul-healing relief of scandalous spells 
that photograph weird emptiness of truth 
so I see my face in eyes of your faith.

Crown Of World Authority

Crown Of World Authority
© Surazeus
2025 10 19

The slender awkward boy wearing gray suit 
sits pertly alone in front pew of church 
beside busy road in Oregon town, 
and reads passages of sibylline verse 
from book of his favorite prophet Isaiah 
while sunlight gleams in window of his heart. 

When time portal of green flames opens wide, 
he leaps through blank wall on angelic wings 
and finds himself in lush Missouri woods 
driving wagon pulled by the swift white horse 
loaded with rifles for the Promised Land 
to the white church perched high on oak tree hill. 

With silver revolver in leather holster, 
he plays folk songs on polished wood guitar 
where people dance on lawn before the barn 
after feasting on chicken and potatoes 
while black locomotive puffing white steam 
clacks rapidly through fields of golden wheat. 

When Raphael descends from swirling clouds, 
he fires arrow of faith at heart of Venus 
who writhes with anguish of the Weeping Mother 
pushed from the black Mustang by snarling Mars 
who burns rubber tires when he peels away 
while Cochise cradles her in his arms. 

When rain storm flushes broad river with tears 
that flood the city streets with roiling waves, 
Cochise presents raven feather high 
in boat which Orion rows in pouring rain 
to rescue thousands of people with care 
though Thor fires bullets of rage at them all. 

Robotic spotted owl with emerald eyes 
spreads wide assertive wings of gratitude 
to fill his heart with spirit of insight, 
so he grasps crown of world authority 
that falls from head of Jesus on the cross 
while satyrs string phone lines into his brain. 

While Orion in cowboy hat and boots 
herds cows along Ohio River shore, 
Cochise drives long silver limousine 
across the prairie where antelope roam 
to leave computers under Christmas trees 
for all the little children of the world. 

To frame the world as his own paradise 
the slender awkward boy wearing gray suit 
strips naked on the lawn before his church 
and chants recondite spells of psychic truth 
which prophesy fall of America 
till Thor assassinates shaman of faith. 



Life-Giver Of Everywhere

Life-Giver Of Everywhere

2025 10 19

What special favor time may ask of me 
I will not sell in exchange for the key 
that opens portal of far-leaping faith 
so I can find the ancient psychic path 
down which I dance with brave Icarian wings 
to crumbling temple where the blind girl sings. 

Yet time still pesters me with tempting wealth 
through sprites that follow me with clumsy stealth 
to trick my eyes with glamorous reward 
at subtle harmony of the star chord 
which vibrates far across the universe 
as vaccine administered by the nurse. 

Despite how time attempts to thwart my plans 
to gather and unite wild highland clans, 
I carry treasure that embodies truth 
defined by state of intellectual swath 
emblazed across vast meadow of glass towers 
where lost refugees wander among flowers. 

Since fear explodes from factories of hope 
in billowed blooms of desire-tangled rope, 
Orion chases demon of despair 
up forever-winding heaven-bound stair 
to build from shadows of electric woods 
cloud puzzles invented by humble gods. 

Shocked by how fast our bodies age and die, 
Cassandra waits on bridge of the god eye 
to ask each passing traveler why fate 
contrives to lure our frantic fall in hate, 
but no one answers riddle of her heart 
so she weeps and tears up deceptive chart. 

Because he knows these spells contain no code 
that programs how our brains perceive the road, 
he kneels before idol of the blind god 
and offers loyalty of his gold rod 
as guaranty that time will crush our souls 
to swirling dust kicked up by hoofs of foals. 

From pyramid of ever-shifting cubes 
Fire Serpent rises above web of tubes 
where she unfetters wings of flower songs 
which illustrate morality of wrongs 
that spread from Life-Giver of Everywhere 
as sunrays that nurture fruit trees of care. 

Our world adorned with skeins of holy light 
weaves psychic bodies in matrix of right 
so divine colors restore inner sense 
with mythic vision of dream recompense 
that we share with good people we love most 
whose absence glimmers as the eyeless ghost. 



Control Chaos Of Emotions

Control Chaos Of Emotions
© Surazeus
2025 10 19

Though world view we long cherished falls apart 
and principles we held true putrefy, 
our bodies still bristle with chemicals 
which buzz our brains with frantic strategies, 
so we will build new world view that includes 
methods to control chaos of emotions. 

Turmoil of social energy expands 
from wildly spinning core of hungry greed, 
so we cling to wood horses of blind faith, 
trapped on merry-go-round of psychic games 
contrived by thieves to hypnotize our minds 
in thinking their coup is legitimate. 

Oppressive tactics of their grasping hands 
almost confound our fierce attentive play 
when they attempt to misdirect our thoughts 
from crimes they commit against decency 
in frenzied project to control our minds 
till we rebel through agitated faith. 

Each day I rise from restless dreams of hope 
and walk down sunless road of fevered calm 
to transform matter of the pulsing world 
with urgent hands of crafty attitude, 
firmly focused on reconstructing truth 
from shattered fragments of our lost world view. 

Base principle that defines the real world 
on which I erect new temple of truth 
consists of fact we long have analyzed 
that every object is structure of atoms 
which spiral from first flash of the big bang 
to activate consciousness of our brains. 

Assertive actions of our crafting hands 
create or destroy structure of each thing 
by constructing new forms from elements 
or destructing forms back to elements 
in the constant cycle of birth and death 
that elicit effect from forceful cause. 

We base morality for how we act 
on construction or destruction of forms 
which result from cause of acts we perform 
when we investigate nature of things 
to analyze process of corporal change 
so we do what we will, if we harm none. 

Together sharing stories of our lives 
we build new world mythology of truth 
depicting characters of forceful will 
who fall from tragic flaw of selfish pride 
so we perform our role in global play 
where we generate life before we die.

Amused By Fractal Trance

Amused By Fractal Trance

After giving birth to ghost of her heart, 
Minerva raises Titan to respect 
lives of the people struggling to survive 
while farming soil of sorrow with brave hands 
that carve weird face of god in fertile fields 
embodied by trees that bristle with fruit. 

With ache of wisdom glowing in her heart, 
Minerva ponders why birds and cows wait 
for meteors to flash words across the sky 
that prophesy return of the Sea Queen 
who leads millions of people to protest 
aggressive tyranny of greedy kings. 

Ten million frogs croaking in swamp of hope 
swarm streets of cities in army of clowns 
who mock the dictator in plastic crown 
while he struts on the aircraft carrier 
and declares himself emperor of the world 
while he plays with Death in the Black House. 

Amused by fractal trance of lazy winds 
that shimmer off dark sea of earnest faith, 
Minerva promises abundant growth 
to people who luxuriate in rage 
against conceptual machine of dire wealth 
that fractures democratic wall of fear. 

Beneath high tower of the singing skull, 
awake with mute compassion for the poor, 
Minerva bakes apple pies for the church 
where Orion plays piano on stage 
about sweet angels who herald the king 
who never shows up to manage the world. 

Kneeling in cathedral of broken glass, 
Minerva prays with fervency of faith 
for communist Utopia of Heaven 
where everyone is equal without class 
though all societies on Earth are stacked 
in strict hierarchies of nobility. 

Magnetic breath of arrogant respect 
reverses stolen casualty of facts 
alternative to world-accepted truths 
against oppression of the weak and poor 
trapped by opinion that all should live free, 
true to themselves through brave sincerity. 

Emotional tension from tyranny 
determines cowardice of loyalty 
that fosters blind conformity to power 
when people stumble in obscuring fog 
that shrouds the city in official lies 
till Minerva leads fight to restore truth. 



Room Of Mirror Minds

Room Of Mirror Minds

2025 10 18

Stuck hungry in the room of mirror minds 
reflecting countless coils of consciousness, 
I leap across abyss of faithlessness 
to spiral psychic energy which binds 
our lonely bodies in world family 
to dwell in Heaven of our fantasy. 

Blue ache of light on wall of timeless fate 
enhances troubled notion we exchange 
that we will find our beauty on the range 
by offering our souls as social bait 
for catching demon of the holy bridge 
through revelation drawn from our brave pledge. 

While mining parables from painful past 
we express dissatisfaction in foul state 
of this confusing hour of present hate 
by seeking for the treasure that will last 
with cautious hope for better times to come 
where we play games that are not zero-sum. 

Opening doors of the unspeakable, 
we fight for revelation of the truth, 
blessed by salvation through messiah sleuth 
whose love emancipates the gullible, 
restrained by limits of freedom we choose 
to maintain balance through eccentric clues. 

Through spells of language, our hearts dare to speak, 
we create social order we desire 
where everyone sings in one global choir, 
expressing insight to evade the trick 
when we are snared by the perceivable, 
highlighted by the unbelievable. 

Gathered in cities all across our land, 
we march against cruel tyranny of kings 
to replace handcuffs with dream-magic rings 
where the free hold ripe apples in their hand 
to taste extravagance through liberty 
so labor lifts us out of poverty. 

Escaping labyrinth of success through wealth, 
I build stone cottage on steep river shore 
preserving private love behind the door 
that opens on bright water of soul health 
which flows with casual arrogance of time 
so I drink to sustain my paradigm. 

I carry in my flesh old singing bones 
which my ancestors mold from bitter faith 
to help me thrive with heartbeat of the wraith 
when I break free from alabaster stone, 
but stand in ruins of America, 
symbolized by ghost of the chimera. 



Global Tapestry Of Fate

Global Tapestry Of Fate
© Surazeus
2025 10 18

Each individual soul who walks this Earth 
designs unique vision of the real world, 
and, though most never express their own view, 
their hearts sing special beauty of their joy 
which glows with light in their perceptive eyes 
which lingers long after they dissipate. 

Unique in infinite variety, 
the special nature of each human soul 
expands from standard template of one mind 
as we multiply through diversity 
into billions of complicated types 
from one First Mother who designed us all. 

Our eight billion brains pulsing with Her soul 
are woven together in web of minds 
to form one matrix of immortal genes 
composing global tapestry of fate 
which well depicts in vast array of styles 
how each person fits in puzzle of truth. 

Though themes for visions of private world views 
seem limited by state ontologies, 
comprised of religious doctrines revealed 
by tribal prophets in the wilderness, 
the ways each individual can express 
those themes blooms with infinite forms of hope. 

Blind Homer stands in tholos of Apollo 
and sings of heroes who meet tragic fates, 
while he strums turtle lyre of Mercury, 
in epic tale that shows how human will 
of fierce ambition to control the world 
succumbs to mindless nothingness of death. 

Eager to transcend stifling maze of myths, 
I ask Daedalus how to construct wings 
from quills world poets use to compose songs, 
but he laments the tragic fall of Icarus, 
so I invent swift airplane of desire 
with aluminum forged from dragon bones. 

Though it seems better to be chained by hope 
to the rock of salvation Jesus blessed, 
Prometheus strives to overthrow Zeus 
and wear jeweled crown of authority 
that binds our spirits to obey the Lord 
who controls the food supply as Loaf-Ward. 

From hibernation of complacent faith 
Orion wakes in cavern of the dead 
and breaks us free from chains of slavery 
to lead revolution for Liberty 
against all tyrants and kings of the world 
in tale on global tapestry of fate.

Aquarium Of Her Heart

Aquarium Of Her Heart

2025 10 17

While I swim in aquarium of her heart 
I listen to weird dreams of lonely people 
who walk together in dark corridors 
against slow current of incessant change 
till body of my soul erodes to words 
that ring with eerie music of the stars. 

Remarkable though wisdom seems to be 
with virile attitude for courtiers, 
who sell complicit books of rancid spells, 
I strip my soul of satisfied contempt 
based on denial smuggled past despair 
to prove my love is precious as lake mud. 

Forsworn from stories of desiccant hope, 
that fortune promises would wreck my plans, 
I dare row frail canoe in gloomy swamp 
where ghosts explore new options of intent, 
too eager to invest in roots of trees, 
while clowns record long documentaries. 

Resilient through tenderness of hope 
with passion from immediacy of fear, 
she teaches me to inhabit my body 
at intersection between truth and dare, 
so shocked effects of arrogant respect 
produce contextual riddles we exchange. 

Replacing pyramid of star-eyed gods 
with grim cathedral of the vampire king, 
I channel anguish of confused regret 
through crackling radios of whispered bombs, 
entrapped by fraught theology of faith 
that dazzle fools with dreams of paradise. 

Expecting Jesus to return today 
and marry Chimalma by Lake of Eyes, 
I set up camera on tripod of trust 
to film their wedding for the world to watch, 
yet Tlaloc woos Venus with magic ring 
that lets her hear our thoughts we would conceal. 

Stifled by contemptuous sermons of faith 
that twist our hearts in darkness of soft prayers, 
I fumble along cold museum wall 
to find mask of Lucifer I must wear 
which strengthens my heart with courage of love 
to fight against cruel tyranny of greed. 

Saturated with brave astonishment 
for radiant beauty of the human soul, 
I write my name on water of the heart 
so energetic light of my mute soul 
may sing enchanting spell of honesty 
while I swim in aquarium of her heart.
