Bridge Of Broken Minds

Bridge Of Broken Minds

2026 09 27

I feel in my heart strange desire to sing 
but lie mute under shadow of the wing 
that presses me to center of the globe 
so I transform to nothing but blind lobe 
that pulses with compassion for the lost 
whose fate reveals what greedy hope has cost. 

While dream-biking on bridge of broken minds 
I stop to call the demon whose heart binds 
billions of human souls in web of pain 
though we assemble to laugh in cold rain 
that drenches waste land in our angel tears 
which cannot cleanse our bodies of harsh fears. 

That moment when you wake up from blind dread 
and see ghost of my name outside your head 
remember all the moments of our love 
we spent together in the starlit cave 
because the hot pulse of those memories 
will vanish bright as rain in thirsty seas. 

Look closely at wavering ghost of my soul 
and you will see the fragment of the whole 
as contradiction twisting what you feel, 
then you will know that I am always real 
while fears that haunt your wounded heart are fake 
as weird illusion your fraught desires make. 

Though wind blows weeds beside the country road 
I ride my bike past pond where moon-eyed toad 
reveals in wordless vision of my heart 
weird beauty of false faith in starless chart 
that glows as constellation of god stars 
which shimmers at the passing of glass cars. 

Your words of faith I hear on phone of trust 
dispel demonic anger of the ghost 
that follows me on endless road of fate 
so love for life blossoms from rotten hate 
as lotus bloom that weaves my tangled soul 
in psychic matrix of the cosmic whole. 

My bloody feet leave prints on signless road 
where I run from exploding bombs of God 
dropped by his angels from swift silver jets 
that transform into thirsty vampire bats, 
so I hold emptiness in mangled hands 
while I wander homeless on kingless lands. 

Ghost of my childhood flees from flashing bombs 
to hide from devils in abandoned tombs 
while planes of tyrants scream across the sky 
in howl of vain victory that drowns the cry 
of orphaned children who attempt to pray, 
then build new world order on the True Way. 

Visible Wings Of Silence

Visible Wings Of Silence

On visible wings of silence I dance 
outside enclosing walls of paradise 
so beaming scope of consciousness expands 
huge enough for my small mind to perceive 
vastness of this world on which we thrive, 
itself so small in whole expanse of stars. 

On visible wings of silence I leap 
beyond small valley where my soul was born 
to push through tangled veil of fencing vines 
in bold quest to explore the strange new world 
which I glimpse in dim dreams of eager hope 
where nameless people know not I exist. 

On visible wings of silence I soar 
far high above huge swirling clouds of hope 
to find the crystal halls of gleaming truth 
that form bright Heaven of my fantasies 
through longing ache to escape hard toil in fields 
of sour exhaustion under whips of greed. 

On visible wings of silence I glide 
with sly clandestine plan of calm respect 
to slip past guards with sharp spears of contempt 
and flee in shadowed woods of innocence 
far from the bitter whips of slavery 
since I got trapped in paradise of greed. 

On visible wings of silence I twirl 
high on broad stone of defiant disgust 
to fight slave-hunters rattling chains of fear 
in quick avoidance of their grasping hands 
intent on binding my free heart with greed 
that motivates my desperate fight to live. 

On visible wings of silence I turn 
back toward safe valley of my spirit birth, 
where my old mother must still cook for me, 
with swift assertion of my liberty 
through endless maze of sunlit mountain glades 
till I stumble in safe grove of my home. 

On visible wings of silence I flip 
over safe haven walls of paradise 
where I hide soul of frantic energy, 
then with assembled warriors of my tribe 
we ambush cruel slave-traders by the lake 
and kill them all to maintain liberty. 

On visible wings of silence I fall 
from clouds of Heaven on frail tattered wings 
so fantasies of utopian paradise 
dissipate in heat of long afternoons 
when I toil in fruit orchard of my heart 
that tastes sweet as my life in liberty. 

Fractured Sense Of Self

Fractured Sense Of Self

2026 09 26

If our remembered time of happiness 
lurks eyelessly about half-broken doors 
with dauntless urgency of naked thoughts, 
who would dare require cruel fate to relent 
his harsh decree that frail innocent souls 
should suffer turmoil of national change. 

No graceful spell of unspoken support, 
developed by assertive breath of fear, 
could reassemble fractured sense of self 
dispersed by mocking laughter of concern 
to scatter randomly in empty room 
where gentle sorrow understands the why. 

So we drive cars on endless road of hope 
with urgent message from the fruitless tree 
which curls roots under asphalt parking lots 
with dire compassion for the homeless souls 
who clamor to perform Shakespearean roles 
through pride in Theater of the Absurd. 

As ceaseless lackey to eternity, 
entranced by ghastly shadows of my soul, 
I should devise strange plots of social games 
to outwit mockery of the jester-king 
whose disrespect for values of the just 
shocks honest folk with paralyzed contempt. 

With easy steps of faithless honesty 
I wander landscape of state memories 
now cluttered with false idols of brave fools 
whose hateful missions of aggressive rage 
against lost homeless refugees from wars 
should smirch his soul with curse of bitter fear. 

Long did my fearful forefathers request 
miraculous aid from Heaven above clouds 
of glowing beauty with fervent faithfulness, 
but no voice spoke except in wordless cracks 
of horrifying thunder to provide 
divine guidance to their misguided quest. 

Undisciplined by nobleness of mind, 
their urgent mission to create on Earth 
utopian commune of the Promised Land 
failed to expand our conscious scope of faith 
beyond intense routine of crafting work 
transforming raw materials to machines. 

Now global revolution is at hand 
through jolting buzz of passionate desire, 
which deconstructs world view that furnished frame 
for noble actions of heroic souls, 
so we must spark as flame in fear-numb hearts 
brave resolution to rebuild our state. 

Laughing Thief Of Grace

Laughing Thief Of Grace

2026 09 26

I wonder at life of absurdity 
where weak men crippled by arrogant faith 
gain power over honest carpenters 
by twisting moral numbers of concern 
to propagate false vision of their right 
contrived by Cloud Ghost to be sacred law. 

As honest fugitive from words of pride, 
that twist our language into holy prayer, 
I grin at keening sun of solitude 
to polish secrets of my brittle bones 
repaired by shocking miracle of lies 
that cannot soothe the sword blade in my heart. 

If I can stop the laughing thief of grace 
from chopping down the ancient Tree of Life 
that blooms in garden of the weeping bride, 
I might play role as Emperor of Earth 
too well for happy people to obey 
commands that we take care of this weird world. 

My crippled hand of brave euphoria 
may listen to harsh darkness in your heart 
to bless our tables with plates of fresh fruit 
that scents our doorless home of frantic wings 
with pungent memories of eventide 
on river shores where unnamed bodies float. 

She asks if I remember why she cries, 
but laughs at all my answers as cruel lies, 
so I reflect on each mistake I make 
while eating sorrow of her chocolate cake 
that teaches me to grieve all suffering 
too many people bear while angels sing. 

We treasure secret visions of ourselves 
that we preserve in books no one can read 
while tending wounds that only devils see 
though jewels, dusted with pollen of flowers, 
refract conceptual spirit of Star God 
through pulsing passion of our sponge-soft brains. 

Crippled by impotent hatreds from fear, 
which motivates our journey for the Book, 
we search for crystal halls where blind gods feast 
while they ignore the suffering of humans 
who kneel and pray in churches built from bones 
for salvation from laughing thief of grace. 

Thus when I deconstruct religious creeds 
I find they elevate dead mortal king 
as powerful god who creates all things, 
so I leave maze of money to ascend 
misty vales of Mount Takoma to merge 
my mortal soul with timeless light of truth. 

Holy Word Of Arrogance

Surprised by holy word of arrogance 
that teaches him to understand the trees, 
Iapetus laughs while heaving stone of faith 
at gusts of storm winds blasting his frail hut 
where wife and children huddle in stark fear, 
so he builds fane to shield them with his heart. 

Inspired by holy word of arrogance 
that sparks strange fire of wisdom in his brain, 
Prometheus sets stones in ring of hope 
to well contain the writhing flame of light 
of flashing chaos inside frame of thought 
so he can manage power of the sky. 

Disturbed by holy word of arrogance 
that tricks him to look back down road of fate, 
Epimetheus subdues bear with sharp claws, 
then sews fur cloak for Pandora to wear 
as she holds precious box of secret truth 
when they walk in broad field of sparkling snow. 

Concerned by holy word of arrogance 
that presses stars down on our mortal heads, 
Atlas supports globe of Earth with brave trust 
when he constructs tall roof of pine-tree beams 
where his clever daughters, Hesperides, 
guard orchard of golden apples from thieves. 

Engorged by holy word of arrogance 
that drives him to oppose tyrants of greed, 
Menoetius declares with boastful voice 
that he crowns himself Emperor of Earth 
because his acts are the most beautiful, 
till Zeus strikes him down with his thunderbolt. 

Deceived by holy word of arrogance 
that highlights beauty of brave Helios, 
Clymene bears him son she names Phaethon 
who drives huge two-wheeled chariot of fire 
in noble battle against Uranus 
to free the world from tyranny of greed. 

Intrigued by holy word of arrogance 
that diverts focus of his searching eyes, 
Deucalion constructs huge ark of wood 
where he bears Pyrrha, loyal bride of trust, 
safe during flood that destroys world of men, 
to dwell on Mount Parnassus in fruit grove. 

Amazed by holy word of arrogance 
that shows indifference of Nature to Man, 
Cronus wields sharp blade of justice to fight 
violent Uranus in Temple of Truth, 
which Iapetus built to shield human souls, 
through war to cast cruel Titans into Hell. 

Eyeless Agony Of Faith

Eyeless Agony Of Faith

Nothing explodes from glass page of the book 
writhing with tongueless ghosts of long-dead gods, 
so Albert walks past hundred thousand doors 
to find the person who reflects his soul 
with comprehensive formulas of faith 
that weave their bodies from demonic genes. 

Bearing gold wand with curling snake of hope, 
Adonis strides on brittle bridge of blame 
while hawk of justice leaps from his bold hand 
and strikes face of the tyrant on the throne 
who screams in eyeless agony of faith 
when his son takes jeweled crown of regret. 

Concerned about electric memory 
translating all our dreams to lurid myths, 
Adonijah declares himself World King 
and strides with courage in grand temple hall 
where David clutches broken lyre of power 
while chanting psalms to praise the Shepherd God. 

Appointed Chief Happiness Officer 
by Aphrodite with long golden hair, 
Adam woos her with basket of fresh fruit 
he stole from Tree of Knowledge at midnight, 
then builds enormous palace of glass masks 
from bones of dragons killed by meteors. 

Reigning as God over River of Time, 
Achelous son of Elus stands alert 
on Bridge of Farsight as Guardian of Life, 
but when he sees gold-eyed Perimede, 
he wrestles Hercules to win her heart, 
though she hides in Cave of Castalia. 

Born from song of the Ocean before dawn, 
Abassi floats above the crowded world 
on silver wings of laughter forged from fear, 
then wakes and drives to work constructing homes, 
till immigrant agents wearing black masks 
lock him in sprawling deportation camp. 

After his analyst job at the state bank 
is replaced by robot with angel eyes 
powered by artificial intelligence, 
Ares drinks beer at the old country bar, 
then sings cowboy songs on stage every night 
and sleeps in his truck behind some garage. 

Inspired to run for President Earth 
with plan to unite all nations in one, 
Apollo campaigns sea to shining sea 
till Pluto tries to shoot him in the head, 
so Dream-Enchanter eats the nuclear bomb 
and retires to work on the Family Farm. 

Electric Curl Of Words

Electric Curl Of Words

Unfrightened by electric curl of words, 
Mayari glides backward up blue glass stairs 
and scatters large mango seeds on dry sand 
of endless desert where snakes slither slow, 
then waters waste land with her tears of hope 
so they sprout into lush forest of trees. 

Unbalanced by excessive thoughts of love, 
Bathala extends both hands to retrieve 
glass mask of the moon that reveals weird soul 
that shy Mayari hides behind broad leaves 
rustled by cool breeze from silver sea waves 
preserving secrets in whispers of faith. 

Gliding gracefully in long woven skirt, 
Mayari notes disk of first quarter moon 
that shimmers in early afternoon sky 
above mango trees where red-eyed pungaws 
sing koo-oo with compassion for lost souls 
who wander on Cagayan River shore. 

Driving motorbike along winding road 
of eager ambition to achieve wealth, 
Bathala stops beside young graceful girl, 
whose long black hair shimmers thick down her back, 
and offers ride to Scarecrow Festival 
to celebrate Bambati Guardianship. 

Transforming into pungaw with black wings, 
Mayari soars up to bright flashing clouds 
in silver airplane forged from angel wings 
to land in Idaho far across the sea 
where she falls in love with the bank accountant 
who funds her folk art painting forest scenes. 

Bearing sphere of the sunset in her heart, 
Mayari in red dress strolls in wheat field, 
then sits and dangles feet in flowing stream 
while watching white birds flock across the sky 
across the snowy Sawtooth Mountains peaks 
as ribbon in her hair flutters in wind. 

Inventing new language of innocence, 
Phoebus weaves silence between minds of strangers 
in sweet romance that blossoms from their hearts 
when they hold hands and listen to the wind 
explain how sunlight sparks life in all things 
so we become one with the universe. 

Nursing their new-born daughter at her breast, 
Mayari hums lullaby about Leron 
who climbs papaya tree with bamboo basket 
to gather fruit from sacred tree of knowledge, 
preserving treasure, though the long branch breaks, 
which he gives to wife and child of his heart. 

Crafting Hands Of Hope

Crafting Hands Of Hope

2026 09 25

Through lyrical expression of my thoughts 
in undulating waves of rhythmic verse 
I feel this timeless moment crystalize 
in momentary vision of insight 
that lifts my mind on bold attentive wings 
outside conceptual frame of changing time. 

Apollo glances up from plucking strings 
at sudden pang of sorrow in his heart, 
and stares with sigh of ennui at the crowd 
of housewives browsing full vegetable stands, 
and wonders if heroic tale of courage 
he longs to express would inspire their souls. 

When Hadad threatens Dagon with sharp knife, 
demanding that he compensate his loss 
for rotten fish he sold him yesterday, 
Atargatis attempts to mediate, 
with soothing words to calm their tempers down, 
but storm-hearted man cuts her on the arm. 

Just as Apollo stands up to respond 
with attentive aid to wound on her arm, 
Mithras leaps down from ten-foot pyramid 
with sword unsheathed to guard the market queen, 
placing his body as protective shield, 
so Hadad plunges knife blade in his chest. 

As Mithras falls in arms of Atargatis, 
who tends his wound with cloth to staunch blood flow, 
Hadad attempts to flee through milling crowd, 
but Apollo leaps up small pyramid 
and shoots sharp arrow straight into his thigh 
which causes storm god to fall on his face. 

After six Seraphim arrest Hadad 
and drag him for judgement in Hall of Zeus, 
Apollo strums lyre of Mercurius 
and sings short lyric to express his thoughts 
that praise wise Atargatis with clear eyes 
for just management of the marketplace. 

"We create with our crafting hands of hope 
useful utensils from material forms 
through skill from stringent training we receive, 
so every person plays their talent role 
to maintain our food-production system, 
then gains reward from selling crafts of love." 

People who assemble to hear him sing 
toss coins stamped with face of Mercurius 
in wood bowl set before his pedestal, 
so Apollo counts profit of his art, 
then Atargatis asks if he will play 
in Temple of Zeus for the evening feast.

Not sure what he may find among small stones 
smoothed by ten million years of ocean waves, 
Cronus wanders along margin of fate 
to gather clams in leather bag of hope, 
and ponders how some invisible force 
moves everything in motions of exchange. 

Through repeated patterns in swirls of time 
waves surge against broad beach of gleaming sand 
with calm aggressiveness of natural grace, 
so Cronus stops and looks back on his path 
to see imprints of his feet in long line 
that curves across landscape of glowing thoughts. 

Sharp voice that pierces silent wind of fear 
alerts his heart to vision of her face, 
so Cronus turns against obstructing wind 
to see lithe Themis by the mossy cave, 
which sparks assertive passion in his heart 
that causes him to fly on leaps of faith. 

When Cronus reaches Themis by her cave, 
gold eyes gleaming with ardent flash of dawn, 
he offers bag of clams that clank with hope, 
so she leads him in safe cave of her heart 
when he pries shells open with diamond blade 
and she roasts them over small crackling fire. 

After they feast on clams and apple sauce, 
that she crushes with stones in wooden bowl, 
Cronus and Themis embrace with desire 
to merge their bodies in warm glow of love, 
writhing with pleasure of exploding stars, 
then cuddle with soft song of ocean waves. 

This timeless memory, programmed in my brain 
by my ancestors thirty thousand years 
before hour of my birth in Oregon, 
powers progress of my daily routine 
with vision of attentive love for life 
that motivates my mission to create. 

Though Zeus in palace of Olympus struts 
with haughty pride of aggrandizing greed, 
and blusters to inflate his vanity 
with vainglorious conceit of arrogance, 
billions of people on this spinning globe 
eat with their friends at harvest festivals. 

Men who falsely amplify with big boasts 
importance of their being in game of life 
will fall from cliff of hubris when they leap 
on wings of delusion, and break on truth, 
so we continue our daily routines 
in safe homes with our precious families.  

Smiles Of Fractured Fantasy

Smiles Of Fractured Fantasy

Startled by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that strangers in the crowded streets of time 
beam at my heart with stark intensity, 
I ride ghost horse of swift perplexity 
to find the mad king on the windy plain 
who eats grass from cracked television screens. 

Unnerved by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that devils dancing in cathedral halls 
disguise as hunger to deceive my heart, 
I wear mask Phoebus lost on road of eggs 
to raise grand army of ten thousand sons 
who build empire from sea to shining sea. 

Distressed by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that angels screaming on huge hill of skulls 
forge from star stones that smash temples of gods, 
I transform from angel to iron man 
and soar to mountains of exploding plums 
where Adam and Eve laugh in soaking rain. 

Annoyed by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that pastors tearing dreams from holy books 
plaster on crumbling walls of paradise, 
I play messiah on the tragic stage 
to save Rapunzel from the beauty pageant 
so she can work as nurse in bombed-out towns. 

Surprised by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that vampires banging pianos of glass 
employ to trick brave farmers in the dell, 
I balance oscillation of despair 
with frantic ecstasy of weird insight 
on quest to challenge Death to game of chess. 

Dismayed by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that zombies whispering prayers to Father God 
wear to conceal lust for psychotic brains, 
I find safe shelter in haven of tales 
where fairies teach my children how to sing 
dark spells that conjure angels from my heart. 

Alarmed by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that painters smearing ghosts on factory walls 
present as answers to ills of our world, 
I wander vast halls of computer banks 
with lantern of lost hope Jesus sold me 
to woo Shepherdess with sincerity. 

Amused by smiles of fractured fantasy, 
that nurses healing wounded hearts with truth 
paste on our faces with fake dollar bills, 
I sing about these dark times we endure 
because this universe of glowing light 
remains indifferent to our suffering. 

Proton Quickening Of Dream

Proton Quickening Of Dream

2026 09 24

Through delirious disregard for discourse 
regarding boundaries of the Bleeding Heart, 
Hercules experiments with strange forms 
of tangled words in the grand feast of language 
to measure proton quickening of dream 
against ambient laughter of the grim tortoise. 

Through jocular regard for provocation 
that deconstructs religious faith of fools, 
Hercules comments with fatuous proverbs 
disguising social privilege of the strong 
through tragic drama fraught with mortal dread 
for patent absurdity of grand claims. 

Through corporate brand of mental harmony 
with mordent appetite for eating snow, 
Hercules keeps clandestine company 
with Caliban throughout the live-long day 
by betting on the fastest crippled horse 
with open sadism of innocence. 

Through stark exaggeration of contempt 
for mountain ghosts who howl at humble wind, 
Hercules considers treatise of falsehoods 
contrived by bankers eating plastic toast 
that stifles voices of the faceless people 
who wander margins of society. 

Through incandescent friendship of the blind 
who pursue objective of fallen gods, 
Hercules steals lies from philosophers 
to scam old people in the countryside 
who tell their stories with enormous pride 
as he sails yachts with money they provide. 

Through limitless supply of anecdotes 
that bleed from eyes of wartime refugees, 
Hercules heckles actors on the stage 
who declaim monologues that angels write 
against weird conservative governments 
who always fall asleep in the front row. 

Through politics of student occupation 
in movement for anti-austerity, 
Hercules documents fascist regimes 
that stifle satire voices of the press 
who buy ice cream for their Sahara trip 
where chemistry professors capture genies. 

Through song and dance on stage of tyranny 
before he exits global tragedy, 
Hercules trolls the university 
for teaching sociology of rights 
that brave people claim is inalienable 
except when swimming against ocean tides. 

One With Star Ungod

One With Star Ungod

My weird delusions drive me to compose 
sacred scripture for curious explorers 
investigating natural world of atoms 
to organize dynamic energies 
of social forces to generate food 
on quest to become one with Star Ungod. 

Though I am shipwrecked on the wine-black sea, 
cling to wreckage of religious beliefs 
while tossed about on waves of urgent faith, 
then stumble on shore of this brave new world, 
no cute blushing Nausicaa welcomes me, 
nor Circe to enchant my wounded heart. 

While stumbling lost in Massachusetts woods 
I find no Calypso in red silk gown 
who lures me to dwell in her paradise 
with salubrious peach from the Tree of Knowledge, 
nor has Hermes demanded my liberty 
so I return home to lost Avalon. 

Reborn in rain forest of Oregon, 
where Oberon teaches me magic spells, 
I race to stop Multnomah from her mission 
to sacrifice herself to save her tribe, 
but she dives into sorrow of the heart 
and drowns to save humanity from fear. 

My weird delusions drive me to transcend 
childhood programming of religious creed, 
so I see Jesus as brave mortal man 
whose children with wise Mary Magdalene 
rule Gothinian kingdoms two thousand years 
till my soul becomes one with Star Ungod. 

Though social war of opposing world views, 
that still plays between Asura and Deva, 
tangles nations in conflict over truth, 
ancient spirit of Zeus wakes in my heart 
so I am born from oscillating powers 
to become Surazeus Astarius. 

Ishtar on ziggurat of Star Ungod 
sends Abraham and Sarah to the west, 
and Brahma and Saraswati to the east, 
to spread religious rites of social growth 
that forms our United Nations of Earth 
on world faith of Astarianity. 

Together refugees from every land 
will build from ruins of America 
new global empire of Zarathia 
that highlights sameness in our differences 
so every nation thrives on fertile Earth 
on quest to become one with Star Ungod. 

Hope To Visit Shadowland

Hope To Visit Shadowland

2026 09 23

If I should hope to visit Shadowland, 
where ghosts of all the nameless people sing 
hymns to the fallen god of thunderstorms, 
I may have to purchase tickets with love 
to watch myth of the Dream Kingdom dissolve 
to pages in old books devoured by Time. 

Alone with ancient Lyre of Mercury, 
I sit beneath the old fruit-laden Tree 
of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, heart 
pulsing with compassion for the world, 
and sing hymns that depict in secret verse 
life of every person who ever lives. 

Since Death is searching for light of my soul 
that glimmers faintly in vast gloom of fate, 
with plan to snuff flame of my humming mind, 
I sing strange visions flashing in my eyes, 
composed of memories my ancestors dream 
through sparkling nodes in network of my brain. 

My conscious soul of self-aware insight 
glows bright with passion of mortal desire 
as radiant emanation from my brain, 
fueled by conceptual chemicals of faith, 
with delusion of immortality 
conjured from my ancestral memories. 

This sense that I have lived since dawn of time 
is powered by dreams programmed in my brain 
from three billion ancestors who designed 
my body to this state of clumsy grace, 
evolving four hundred million years to me, 
but I shall vanish to nothing at death. 

Since I will sink deep in dark senseless sea, 
and atoms of my body dissipate 
from fragile frame of flesh that constitutes 
organic being of chemical respect, 
I breathe celestial spirit of our world 
and sing in orchard of my solitude. 

When functions of my body cease to flash 
with hot atomic ardency of faith, 
I want roots from the Tree of the Knowledge 
of Good and Evil to reintegrate 
deconstructed molecules of my soul 
so I become fruit yet-born souls will eat. 

Earth will recycle molecules that form 
my soul to basic elements of thought, 
so I become gusts of the curious wind, 
and I become drops of the fertile rain, 
so atoms forming me in my short life 
will form bodies of billions more to come. 

Evicted From Their Homes

Evicted From Their Homes

After he climbs down from Mount Helicon, 
still clutching broken lyre of honesty, 
Devus crawls through back window of his house 
and lies on soft grammar of loyalty 
to calculate the flow of capital 
that might dissolve chemical bonds of oaths. 

Eager to map out rival charts of value 
to inherited forms of thought control, 
Devus weaves lines of credit from despair, 
which renders unbearable flash of being 
light as wingless ghosts tangled in oak limbs 
whose cries shock him awake just at midnight. 

Almost shocked awake from delirium 
at time-tangled arrogance of regret, 
Devus leaps from frenzy of mocking jest 
in darker fields of imperial concern 
for imposing amazement of comedy 
on various cultures infesting the world. 

Trapped by Pax Americana through greed 
to build towers of glass on rainless moons, 
Devus looks back down at our lonely globe 
where faceless people hunger for new hope, 
dominated by capital compromise 
to live in gardens of rubbish from games. 

Clutching fragments of war atrocities, 
decontextualized by the evening news, 
Devus visits pastures of wounded souls 
where refugees, evicted from their homes, 
search for sacred books lost in empty tombs 
to paint churches white with national pride. 

Tricked by bland concealment of uniforms 
to accommodate unvoiced victimhood, 
Devus prepares bread and wine for the ghost 
who screams with smoke of rage that he is king, 
but no one notes his bond of care annulled 
by sentimental laughter of the dead. 

Through bodies dismembered by heartless laws 
as ten commandments of the Fire-Cloud Ghost, 
Devus channels souls of the suffering 
through television shows on the dream screen 
that people watch before they go to bed 
so they can conquer the world before dawn. 

Because he now has nothing to his name 
as claim to fame in anthem of our land, 
Devus scatters credit cards on town squares 
where millions of people stare at war tanks 
that crush idols of their gods to smithereens, 
then they laugh and become stuffed animals. 

His Star-Eyed Child

His Star-Eyed Child

2026 09 23

The angel in the stone cottage perceives 
how the hill swells up to the swirling sky 
with changeless solitude of hungry trees 
that always seem to know what he desires 
before he can express it in soft wind 
that tangles his heart with branches of hope. 

Alert to song of sparrows among leaves 
that argue about who best understands 
miscalculations of fate through how clouds 
contradict design on grand temple walls, 
the angel ponders why things fall straight down, 
then whistles nonchalantly when death laughs. 

When nameless Goddess of Fertility 
appears with new-born baby in her arms, 
the angel with three eyes provides goat milk 
after he buries her among red tulips, 
then wonders what to name his star-eyed child 
who always climbs in trees to shout at clouds. 

Smoothing mud in wood frame with gentle hands, 
the angel without wings carves pictograms 
relating how the child came from the sky, 
and leads great army of wild homeless boys 
on quest to unite all nations of men 
in glorious empire of the singing sparrow. 

While boiling apples in cauldron of faith, 
the angel with stone heart remembers why 
fame rises from trickling stream in the ditch, 
then invites the bold bearded king to eat 
rye bread he bakes in oven of his heart, 
smeared with honey from rotten tree of truth. 

When the bold bearded king with jeweled crown 
kneels before him in early morning light, 
he peers close enough to see beaming face 
of his star-eyed child he forgot to name, 
so he laughs with delight and hugs him close 
while generals and soldiers stare in surprise. 

When the child inside the bold bearded king 
asks him if he had fallen from the sky, 
the angel takes him to the unmarked grave 
where his mother lies under tulip blooms, 
so the glorious emperor of the world 
kneels and weeps that he never saw her face. 

Pointing to young woman beside the king, 
the angel with three eyes smiles with calm joy, 
and tells bold bearded king that he can see 
face of his mother in face of his daughter 
whose eyes gleam bright as lightning in the storm, 
so she gives her grandfather egg of time. 

Hymn To Save The World

Hymn To Save The World

If I could sing the hymn to save the world 
with soft mercurial voice of wounded pride, 
I would rise from stone bed of my cold tomb 
and walk the crowded streets of everywhere 
to recite endless tales of tragic heroes 
when people tune in every afternoon. 

I will show you where the dragon lies curled 
in peaceful slumber, since blind tyrants hide 
treasures they steal from Tellurian womb, 
though Gandalf experiments in glass lair 
with computer pulses through ones and zeroes 
that compose solemn American tune. 

No one explains what emotions are called 
that shelter me safe when I feign to brood 
about sacrifice of the haughty lamb 
so I forge key of wisdom from star core 
which beams excessive proverbs of fake sorrows 
since library truth has become my bane. 

Engine of my Pegasus heart has stalled 
during flight to fortress of solitude 
were I learn to write spells from Abraham 
who assigns me to manage the bookstore 
while he digs for jewels in mist-veiled barrows 
because no one wants to stay in their lane. 

Minerva teaches me how to be bold 
because everything I create will fade 
and disappear at brutal curse of fame 
that she observes as omen of star 
that pierces hearts of children with faith arrows 
when Jesus descends in hot-air balloon. 

As Castle Skald it is my job to scold 
shocked artists who refuse to escalade 
assault of justice to expand the frame  
of social progress when I drive my car 
to escort grandchildren of divine pharaohs 
who operate world empire of the commune. 

Though I sign petition to save the wild 
from development of the psychic mode, 
I annul despair with the solar term 
Apollo gives me so I play the seer 
mapping dreams to navigate weird tomorrows 
which I program to run my brain machine. 

Long after the fake report has been filed 
about homeless angels on the world road, 
I partner with Zeus to found new law firm 
so we can profit from conceptual fear 
based on importance of rain-glazed wheelbarrows 
though Earth is united by Melusine.

Energized by heart clock of limerence 
to prove with anguish of my wounded heart 
that I am loyal to Persephone, 
I count each snowflake swirling at my face 
from mirror mask of her innocent moon 
as if they symbolize our mortal souls. 

Excited by heart clock of limerence 
to find the Emerald Tablet of Untime, 
I follow moon-bright horse of tragic love 
across vast Manitoba to the lake 
where murdered lovers dance in Raven Wood 
with bonds unbroken by cruel jealousy. 

Vitalized by heart clock of limerence 
to channel radio signals through my brain, 
I chat with Manipogo about faith 
that animates our bodies with desire 
to live free from oppression of the state 
by writing screenplay for our chosen fate. 

Elated by heart clock of limerence 
to study lives of creatures in the woods, 
I dislodge holy word of arrogance 
from pulsing monster of my hungry heart 
that drives me to wade deep in lake of ghosts 
where faces of blind strangers stare at me. 

Enfranchised by heart clock of limerence 
to clamber over river-polished stones, 
I listen to relentless Water Song 
discuss strange silence of obsessive pines 
that dare me to hang blinking lights on them, 
so I stack stones in walls of paradise. 

Astounded by heart clock of limerence 
to misinterpret songs mad angels sing, 
I steal electric cows of brittleness 
to bargain with Persephone for wealth 
who commissions me to legislate love 
since I contrive new tales from ancient lies. 

Authorized by heart clock of limerence 
to rebuild Herculaneum in glass, 
I follow sweet Persephone through Hell 
where she reveals strange mysteries of truth 
about how atoms function to program 
weird dreams that flash across my scattered mind. 

Actualized by heart clock of limerence 
to wield Voice of Vajra with honest hand, 
I twirl bright thunderbolt with diamond eye 
to battle demon of cathedral truth 
who tries to crush my mind with clear insight, 
but I laugh from in my tomb of tangled words.

Bright rill of water fills up skull of God 
with tears of children killed in global wars, 
so Sibyl strings cracked lyre of Mercury 
with threads of memories from rotting brains 
that weave our myths in Terran tapestry 
which traps me in persona I design. 

Blind ghost in doorway of abandoned home 
decides to open window of the egg 
so Sibyl hears soft whisper of the snake 
explain how purpose causes us to bloom 
from seed of sorrow sparked by tear of hope 
so I feel essence of my body glow. 

What we ignore is what we value most, 
Sibyl decrees with holy voice of wind 
that blasts sharp jagged peaks of mountain minds 
so we transform from farmers in wet fields 
to analysts at computers in towers 
who calculate how soon great gods will die. 

Blind seers with old guitars on city streets 
provide support with hungry songs of hope 
to people who must work in factories 
to build the infrastructure of our world 
so every brave community depends 
on clowns for survival of truthfulness. 

Weird books that summer-sleepy Dryads write 
provide new paradigm for global faith 
that highlight zealous deeds of fabulists 
who strive to conquer Earth for their Cloud God 
whose priestess floats in deep Leucadian grave 
to sing our sorrows in calm hurricanes. 

No hidden harvest of luxurious time 
wakes stricken spirits of our frantic age 
from strange dream of aggressive tyranny 
that rises huge as Cetus from our hearts 
in this tumultuous year of social change 
when Sibyl writes our tales on scrolls of blood. 

Since she is now our global gardener, 
who cultivates strange flowers from our hearts, 
brave Sibyl nurtures warriors in shy souls 
who vow to Proserpine with honest tears 
to build new nation of Zarathia 
from shattered ruins of America. 

Since my immortal soul of genes has sprung 
as curious Orpheus from Niobean womb, 
I join wise Sibyl with sharp-shooter eyes 
to wage clandestine war of honest faith 
against harsh tyranny of gold-hand thief 
whose voice is muffled by sly Zephyrus. 

Mountain Of Divine Grace

2026 09 21

Reluctant to descend on signless road 
to misty underworld of faceless ghosts 
who whisper stories of their suffering, 
I linger at the twisted iron gate, 
and pluck at strings on broken lyre of truth 
while memorizing scenes of their disgrace. 

Purged by obsessive anguish of despair 
that writhes from wounded hearts of mortal souls, 
killed in ten thousand wars of thought control, 
I wander blithely down the signless road 
to cavern of illusions stuffed with souls 
who beg me to record their bitter lives. 

Heart numb from endless scream of suffering, 
I stare mute at their twisted souls of rage 
and try to understand their wordless howls, 
but they just blast past me as ocean wind 
that pierces to my bones with blades of ice, 
so I shiver with horror at bleak death. 

Bones stretched too rubber-taut in agony 
at unjust death of body-searing pain 
that billions of mortal humans endure, 
I swell into enormous cloud of rage 
that flashes with memories of harsh death 
till I condense to iron core of Earth. 

Up steep obstructing slope of bitterness, 
I struggle to assert each rage-weighed step 
of heavy horror oppressing my heart 
against blast of grim angelic contempt 
to climb massive mountain of divine grace 
in futile search for cleansing clemency. 

Alone without witty word-smith as guide, 
who could steer my faltering steps of fear 
safe through rage-tangled limbs of screaming trees, 
I stumble blindly toward the Promised Land 
that gleams too faintly in Tower of Hope 
for me to see its Flame of Liberty. 

Exhausted from my ten-million-year quest 
to seek salvation on the mountain top, 
I randomly arrive at peak of truth 
where I watch empires of men rise and fall 
countless centuries of wars to play God, 
laughing as I float up in empty sky. 

Bouncing against planets in timeless void, 
I flail wildly in erratic progress 
as I careen up nine celestial spheres 
to tumble awkwardly in Paradise 
where no Beatrice scolds me for my vice, 
so I sit by Tree of Knowledge and eat. 

Nowhere Road Of Hope

2026 09 21

If I get lost on nowhere road of hope 
while searching endless maze of fractured dreams 
for flourishing garden of your wild heart 
that blooms somewhere far from the Promised Land, 
I will listen for voice of your Star Soul 
that hums in winds and waves of everywhere. 

I find my ghosts on nowhere road of hope 
which multiply from each stage of my life 
so all my past selves wander nowhere now 
without this body that conjures my soul 
for I progress beyond phase of my dream 
as I evolve to become Faceless God. 

I catch raindrops on nowhere road of hope 
to fill deep rifts with ever-flowing streams 
that swirl in lakes where children play and sing 
as we become new people we invent 
on journey to become god self of faith 
till we all dissolve in vast sea of souls. 

When I find you on nowhere road of hope 
as beam of light your life has left behind, 
I gather glowing ashes of dead stars 
and mold them into idol of your soul 
to capture vibrant essence of your mind 
so I remember you long after death. 

Though I am not on nowhere road of hope 
where we leave masks of our sorrows behind, 
I search for potent shadow of your mind 
that dances among trees from beams of light 
so we embrace with joyful trust to know 
essential spirit of our strange homeland. 

Since I become our nowhere road of hope, 
I build from aching sorrow of my loss 
safe haven from stones of enduring faith 
to shelter your frail soul of wounded pride 
with watchful shield of my attentive heart 
so you may thrive in refuge of my trust. 

We walk enjoined on nowhere road of hope 
as separate angels bound by one brave wing 
for we glow with whole light of sacred faith 
to warm each other during storms of fear 
and shine as light that guides the other home 
with loyal love vast as our galaxy. 

So we emerge from nowhere road of hope 
that leads our quest to everywhere on Earth 
for we all sing in harmony with light 
and dance in sync with ocean waves of truth 
as we merge in global family of ghosts 
composed of lonely souls who find their way.

The way we rise from passion of the Earth 
on wings we weave from crippled words of hope 
reveals pure cosmic energy of light 
that beams through our frail bodies as desire 
to transcend limits of our mortal being 
so song of love glows long after we die. 

The way you rise from sorrow of the sea 
on wings of light that angels weave for you 
inspires my wounded heart with balm of love 
to help lost people find their way back home 
so I lay flowers, picked beside the road, 
on grave where you dream one with the Star Mind. 

The way we rise from rubble of our dreams 
in swirls of gray smoke battered by harsh winds 
exposes suffering humans must endure, 
whether we extract strength of hope or not, 
to carry on and build from what we lost 
new garden flourishing with trees of fruit. 

The way you rise from tangled words of fear 
by strapping language on your weary arms 
expresses vital confidence you bear 
to transcend sorrow of this crowded world 
beyond sight of blind jealousy from greed 
so you find haven of peace where you grow. 

The way we rise on ocean waves of faith 
through intense pulse of love powered by moons 
that form our souls from mystery of light 
frames how we grow from verdant trail of change 
as we expand to fill vast space of life 
with routine duties of necessity. 

The way you rise from fractured house of sighs 
to scatter mercy on lost wanderers 
who follow bright light of your ardent love 
inspires my heart to break free from hard chains 
and walk again with balanced honesty 
this globe that wobbles through eternity. 

The way I rise from wisdom of your words 
that shows how I may build world view from truth 
maps complex journey of the human soul 
evolving shape from fish to singing god 
so I glow with each atom in my brain 
refracting Star Mind of our universe. 

The way we rise from mourning of despair 
to reassemble puzzle of our hearts 
spells universal myth of human courage 
that programs how we overcome our fears 
so we join hands and celebrate this life 
at feast that honors souls we love who die. 

Savior In The Sycamore

Skipping in the autumn evening rainstorm 
is how we can find out we are still real 
even though events in our mirror world 
spiral out of fictionalized control 
that transform people into hungry gulls 
who search for Heaven in the wilderness. 

In the field of flowers blooming from graves 
I am more than the absence of the field, 
though I am missing from puzzle of truth 
where I walk as air in the empty space 
filled with the wholeness of the long-dead souls 
who animate my body with desire. 

I should not trouble younger hearts with hope 
that fractured strangeness of our social game 
will readjust our world view where we play 
noble heroes in dramatic events, 
watched by the savior in the sycamore 
who bids us farewell as he flies away. 

Since silence is impossible this year, 
demanding that we howl with principle 
against relentless anger of cruel men 
blind with rage that story of our state 
is based on exploitation of the poor, 
then we shall gather by the moon and hum. 

If we sink deep in shifting sands of change 
by laughing at forbidden laws of love, 
then we shall grow flowers from wounded hearts 
so we can write new universal laws 
for every person in the world to live 
free from delusions of religious creeds. 

When snowflakes flutter from the faceless sky 
to prove God is delusion of despair, 
I gaze in windows of suburban homes 
where they share meals at tables of respect 
beside the pine that blinks with fairy eyes, 
then wander past to sleep in Raven Wood. 

Since Shamash lives as flame inside my heart 
that widens cope of my subconscious vibe, 
I gather force of psychic energy 
from millions of minds frantic with surprise 
that world view we have shared for eighty years 
collapses into gibberish of lies. 

Retrieving it from mirror of my eye, 
I slip my soul back in its secret place, 
but it remains as twinkling star of faith 
that quivers bright in vastness of deep space 
since light of atoms flashing in my brain 
remains dream key to my infinity.

Bright girl with the cloud heart knows my true name 
when her black eyes see essence of my soul, 
so I lie flat on spinning Earth of fate 
and feel cool kisses of refreshing rain 
wake my immortal soul of genes from dream, 
so I attend needs of her hungry mind. 

Fierce girl with the cloud heart writes writhing words 
of wisdom on soft parchment of my skin 
with sharp-tipped quill of angel-feathered faith 
that finds subconscious sorrows my mind hides 
in thirty Cupids with adoring eyes 
that flock around her head on cloudy wings. 

Sad girl with the cloud heart swirls ocean waves 
with vision-crafting hands of ardent faith 
to mold my body from mud of lost time, 
then breathes ethereal spirit of Shamash 
inside frail frame of my aggressive flesh 
so I provide assistance to her dream. 

Lithe girl with the cloud heart dances ballet 
on phonelines that connect ten billion homes 
in flashing web of individual minds 
bound in whole matrix of her dreaming brain 
because she is first mother of our world 
whose memories program how we perform. 

Brave girl with the cloud heart lies on soft bed, 
dressed in long velvet gown of stoic dread, 
and cradles wounded swan of urgent fear 
with gentle embrace of thought-healing truth 
while I chop wood in swirls of voiceless snow 
to treasure her existence with concern. 

Mute girl with the cloud heart in crumbling house, 
alert in polished chair by glowing window, 
watches turtles float in pool of green tears 
while record player vibrates with weird spell 
revealing lost road to the Promised Land, 
so I give her glass of moon wine to drink. 

Blind girl with the cloud heart grips hard seashell 
to hear song of the ocean in my heart, 
then types blood-lettered verses on blank pages 
which I arrange to pave long road of faith 
to secret garden where she hides my key 
which I forged from core of our spinning globe. 

Deaf girl with the cloud heart in black-lace dress 
explains with voice of wind how eyeless stars 
flash dreams of our romance in my brain cells 
till Moon Raven emerges from her breast 
and gives me jeweled ring of psychic power 
so I crown her as Empress of the Earth. 

Renegade Star Of Fate

While strolling down the busy city street 
past shiny stores filled with trinkets and clothes, 
I feel ancient spirit of Shamash glow 
from tangled turmoil of my pungent heart, 
so I organize our corporate empire, 
inspired by my renegade star of fate. 

Through fractured porcelain mask of plain beauty, 
I gaze at spotted pear of innocence 
to program formula from moral law 
which binds intense emotions of despair 
with time-unspooling grace of self-control, 
confused by my renegade star of fate. 

Paused in forgotten graveyard of sad ghosts, 
Ishtar lingers among rain-streaked tombstones 
from which all names and dates time has erased, 
then gazes up at tall trees of her faith 
to ask if I could record their lost tales, 
deterred by my renegade star of fate. 

Heart floating in breath of the misty moor 
as wordless thoughts she wishes were not hers, 
Ninhursag gestures magic of her hands 
that causes fruit to bloom from trees and hills 
then strolls with her lion to Eden Lake,  
defined by my renegade star of fate. 

While sweet Ninhursag bakes hot loaves of bread 
and Enki patrols Ocean of Tiamat, 
I climb Mount Dilmun to the Cave of Stars 
to contemplate political events 
that began when Marduk built new world state, 
contained by my renegade star of fate. 

For ten thousand years of our spinning globe 
I meditate on ziggurat of stars 
while watching empires rise and fall in waves 
of men fighting to write the narrative 
though all our stories crumble into dust, 
destroyed by my renegade star of fate. 

While Zeus plays chess with Anu over lands 
where humans cultivate gold wheat of faith, 
Adonis searches forest of pear trees, 
but finds Britannia bathing in the pool, 
so she bears his daughter, America, 
driven by my renegade star of fate. 

As Shamash reborn in this present life, 
I sing ten thousand years of memories 
that codify in moral tragedies 
universal laws of human respect 
that program how we fight the next world war, 
refined by my renegade star of fate.

from fractured memories of forgotten days 
that you discard on endless road of time, 
I feel no guilt when I sell them to you 
as holy book in church of solemn faith 
that guides you as light you forgot you have. 

Expelled from valley of lush apple trees 
by gangs of thieves sent out by castle lords, 
we wander on the nowhere road of hope 
with no direction to survive and thrive, 
till I assemble dream puzzle of truth 
in goal that shines as city on the hill. 

Assembled in warm hall of glowing hearths, 
we feast on fruit from labor of our hands, 
while I sit on high judgment throne of faith 
to organize our homeless family 
in company of honest citizens 
based on our secret dream puzzle of truth. 

Turmoil of social change in seething crowds 
of hungry people clamoring at the gates 
sweeps us along vast tides of global growth 
that smashes ancient kingdoms into dust 
so we build new world order of respect 
from principles in dream puzzle of truth. 

Albert drives horse-drawn wagon into town 
where he sells bags of grain for silver coins, 
then buys new copper pan and rolls of cloth 
for Catherine to sew elegant gowns 
for their three daughters with long shining hair 
to attend balls in dream puzzle of truth. 

Raising sword toward gold clouds with lofty pride, 
Albert declares the Coming of the Lord, 
then leads brave cannoneers to fire lead balls 
that smash hard stone walls of cruel tyranny, 
then kneels before World King on jeweled throne 
whose face shimmers in dream puzzle of truth. 

Now he has come to see the Christian faith 
is political party that insists 
descendants of Jesus, God of the Sun, 
have divine right to rule nations of men, 
driven to conquer the world for their Christ 
whose ghost weaves their whole dream puzzle of truth. 

I disassemble dream puzzle of truth 
from basic principle on which it builds 
that states function on hierarchy of men 
controlling land where workers produce food 
and bodies of women that generate 
children lost in strange dream puzzle of truth.

Now is the hour to readjust my brain 
so I perceive electric soul of time 
that laughs with shimmer of the waterfall 
about sad suffering of the human soul 
who kneels and prays to empty sky of blue 
at sudden sorrow of the swirling snow. 

I wonder if my mother is alive, 
safe in walled haven of her wounded heart, 
because I find words scattered on the floor 
that she was just arranging with her mind 
in ever-changing puzzle of false faith 
defined by strangest questions children ask. 

Through random splats of red paint on the wall, 
which accidentally form math formulas 
our brains employ to calculate how far 
we wander lost in wilderness of lies, 
my eyes assert new meaning of old truth 
by weaving constellations from bright tears. 

Now that the long-established way of things, 
that formed foundation of our politics 
collapses into crimes of haughty pride, 
we gather in large crowd of shocked surprise 
to reassert faith in grand principles 
that govern how we should cooperate. 

Or else time may unclock our firm beliefs 
that we held sacred since the dawn of time 
at slow unravelling of solemn scenes 
when wingless angels wearing jeweled crowns 
shall deconstruct assumptions we hold dear 
to prove that ocean waves know how hearts feel. 

Dispersed by humble wind of bitter fame, 
our tight-knit tribe of honest carpenters 
sails ships of sorrow to the Promised Land 
where we build empire of the nuclear bomb 
that causes lizard of the sunless sea 
to rise as Godzilla, new god of Earth. 

Each Sunday at flash of the rising sun 
we gather on the ocean shore of faith 
to sing hymns to fierce monster of the deep 
till hungry dinosaur evolves its form 
to clucking chicken that provides fresh eggs 
we eat for breakfast with orange juice and toast. 

If I succeed in program of respect 
to readjust perception of my brain, 
I may see face of God in silver clouds 
that glimmer with divine agility 
which emanates from every human heart 
so we become the God we strive to be. 

Embodied Monster Of Fear

Rain falls on head of every conscious soul 
who wanders maze of dreams on spinning globe 
alike with bland indifference of fate 
so all our love and hate dissolve to tears 
when we seek shelter under apple trees 
till we transform into angels of light. 

Because the moon howls at my aching heart 
with laughter that would banish from my mind 
mute agony at haunting doom of death, 
I camouflage my fear with helpless love 
that transforms into courage of despair 
as I glide cautiously in shadowed woods. 

Strange visions of ancestral memories 
flash bright in cold awareness of my brain 
as pattern that guides how I might perform 
evasive actions of attentive care 
to preserve structure of my pulsing soul 
when I face embodied monster of fear. 

Alert to sudden danger of fierce death, 
I fight against aggressive grasp of rage 
through lithe evasion of destructive strikes 
when I oppose demonic arrogance 
and kill the monster with intense respect 
as stark necessity to preserve life. 

Awake with effervescent nonchalance 
at hard-won victory against hungry rage, 
I mediate on hillock by the sea 
to feel soft murmur of star-sparkling waves 
soothe aching horror of my wounded heart 
so I bloom bright in shadowland of faith. 

If water lily in black lake of fear 
unclocks time back to primal state of faith, 
I may achieve secure respect of fame 
that curses my frail soul with ardent hope, 
which all disperse to meaningless unthought 
when I build temples from bones of dead gods. 

White sheet of wisdom on taut wire of faith 
escapes my back yard on angelic wings 
and flies to crystal palace where God plays 
harp of eternal truth that weaves my brain 
with memories of survival against death, 
programmed by my ancestors to be me. 

If I hear you call me in fog of dawn, 
I will turn mask of my psychotic ghost 
to answer your inquiry with bright smile 
for we are brave companions on the road 
of progress bound with loyal sign of love 
to translate song of rain to earnest poems. 

Grand Temple Of Apollo

Resounding sorrow of silent sea waves 
vibrates from engines in one million cars 
so wingless angels rise from flashing screens 
to gather close in crowd of broken hearts 
around Temple of Apollo that glows 
on eastern bank of the Potomac River. 

King Midas with his gang of greedy thieves 
attempts to smash with hammers of contempt 
glorious temple of that shining god, 
bright-eyed Apollo of the Emerald Isle, 
who wrestled Python of demonic hate 
to save Earth from dire nuclear holocaust. 

Emerging alarmed from cave of illusions, 
Minerva leads with Lamp of Liberty 
the reverent people of America 
to save Temple of Apollo from harm, 
and stands with Sword of Justice in her hand 
to guard grand Hall of Muses from his greed. 

When brave Apollo, reckless warrior, 
sailed Argo far across Marawa Sea 
to stop cruel demon Otakemaru 
on his wild rampage to destroy the world, 
that monster smashed his ship with spear of hate, 
but he clung to his lyre with ardent heart. 

Helped by Nareau, star-eyed spider of truth, 
swift Pegasus swooped down from clouds of hope 
and bore Apollo safe to Helicon 
where Aphrodite healed wound of his heart, 
then wise Minerva crowned him King of Earth 
for saving mankind from Python of hate. 

After jealous Pluto, snarling in rage 
that our beautiful sun god reigns in peace, 
shoots bullet of contempt from grassy knoll 
as he rides chariot by Tower of Books, 
Minerva builds marble temple of faith 
to preserve memory of his noble deeds. 

With reverence for deeds of his victory, 
musicians from lands all around the Earth, 
invited by Calliope to play, 
appear on stage in Temple of Apollo 
where they perform with solemn dignity 
that swells our hearts with faith in honesty. 

Though mad King Midas, jealous of Apollo, 
whose divine light shines in each honest heart, 
fumes in rage that we worship that sun god 
as representative of our great spirit, 
we will remember beauty of his song 
that glows from lush land of America. 

Wander With Bohemian Heart

Now that we have, for eighty stringent years, 
passed our souls through the thousand darknesses 
of death-bringing talk by oppressive thieves, 
we sing again with radioactive faith 
by leaping on Icarian wings of joy 
to fall with grace of humble dignity. 

With analytic pliers of respect, 
which I forged from contempt for trickery, 
I sing about the tragic fate of men 
who live by principles of honesty 
so I may wander with Bohemian heart 
as minstrel transgressing borders of words. 

Still stranded in imperium of the past, 
lost immigrants from many diverse lands 
dwell peacefully as one great tribe of souls 
within expansive paradise of love, 
so many languages of babbling hope 
merge into universal tongue of faith. 

We shall not mortgage time without death-pledge 
against collapse of social boundaries 
which trap our bodies in addressless homes 
in vast suburban maze of fear-locked doors 
where endless saga of death from despair 
beats against windows that frame flashing trees. 

When tyrant in crumbling castle of pride 
obliterates borders of social rules, 
he tries to absorb dramas of our lives 
from family home to prison of the state 
when he preaches sermon of our great land 
through faceless voice on the harsh radio. 

Annexed to system of the social game, 
brave sovereignty of my body is bound 
by legal liens of state identity 
when grim enforcers of cruel tyranny 
violate personal space of wounded hearts 
through psychic domination of contempt. 

Though libertarian impulse of our minds 
are all assimilated in grand state, 
ruled by huge invisible cloud god 
who wields nuclear missiles as thunderbolts, 
we hide as blind ghosts in our House of Being, 
shrouded by smoke of never-spoken words. 

Obsessive guilt of my heart-tortured tongue 
transforms into fierce dragon of respect 
escaping murky pool of wordless rage 
when bitter tyrant strutting in contempt 
destroys grand temple of the shining god 
whose ghost fades into stark light of the moon.

Awake from mindless dream before my birth, 
I sing to beam atomic flash of being 
that spirals wide as halo of sunlight 
around frail shell of my god-conscious brain, 
so I walk humming in lush field of flowers 
where wingless angels dwell in crystal towers. 

My sponge brain, forged by hungry waves of light, 
floats high on vast continuum of love, 
though tangled with taut tendrils of despair, 
so I write formulas of faith in sand, 
then dance as seething mass of molecules, 
intense with passion of vast galaxies. 

Dressed in white gown of holy innocence, 
young woman glides with graceful elegance 
in rain-wet field of flowers that bloom thick 
from corpses of ten thousand warriors 
whose ghosts flock round her on gossamer wings 
when she recites their names with gentle smile. 

She loves the lake of eyes that glimmer gold 
through eerie glory of the silver moon 
with aching sorrow of her bitter heart 
that longs for ghost of her love to return 
though he has vanished in mute swirls of dust, 
yet sighs escape her heart as melodies. 

Her song lures me through angel-haunted hills 
because I beam atomic flash of being 
contained behind my grotesque mask of faith 
that shocks sad wanderers with secret truth 
designed to guide our feet to welcome halls 
where Death waits for us all with bloody wing. 

Amazed at shocking beauty of this world, 
she holds her breath in timeless ecstasy 
while hummingbird of frantic fantasy 
floats just before her face on beating wings 
that slow down to unclock eternity 
so we become one mind of tender love. 

Unlike concern for fraught ontology  
contained in pulsing seeds of energy, 
our bodies, which are molecule machines, 
urge us to hunt in battle to consume 
organic bodies of innocent souls 
that writhe in agony on flames of faith. 

Expanding scope of pungent ardency 
contains vast multitudes of buzzing souls 
who each feel glow of God inside their minds 
so we loop threads of stellar fervency 
through hollow hearts to balance ballet pride 
that blossoms from atomic flash of being. 

Feast of Apple Hope

When the gray sky tells her she is not real, 
Rayanne explains to Brownie in the hearth 
that our brains are molecular machines 
which temporarily glow with conscious soul 
who feels they are immortal from old dreams 
programmed by our ancestors in our genes. 

When the gold sunrays tell her she is real, 
Rayanne invites everybody she knows 
to come and share her apple feast of hope, 
but sits alone at table in the glade 
till they appear as ravens from the moon 
and mock her with sly laughter of the doomed. 

When the blue raindrops of arrogant faith 
spark life again in mud-corpse of her mind, 
Rayanne walks to the forest pool of ghosts 
where sad Narcissus weeps with longing ache 
for Echo to return again from Hell, 
so she walks to Helicon with his mask. 

When the purple mountain majesties bulge 
enormously against skin of her breast, 
Rayanne learns to sing through dream synthesis 
based on recursive process of desire 
that links sounds to concepts when she invents 
language for wingless angels to trick death. 

When the white lightning strike her mirror eyes 
with endless visions of atomic swirls, 
Rayanne replaces her young childhood self 
with new mature self forged by suffering 
that crowns her World Goddess of Liberty 
who leads the People against tyranny. 

When the red code of socialist ideal 
resurrects hippie Jesus from the dead, 
Rayanne campaigns to reign as President 
with scepter of Ishtar in her right hand 
though Mary Magdalene wins far more votes, 
so she kisses Hansel while Gretel laughs. 

When the black cloud of spiritual concern 
deconstructs religious world view of faith, 
Rayanne designs new dream puzzle of truth 
from scientific formulas of facts 
that better help us navigate the world 
so we build Heaven from ruins of Hell. 

When the green tree weaves sparkle of her soul 
in matrix of our cosmic tapestry, 
Rayanne performs role her heart executes 
so brave love initiates kintsugi-weave 
that generates new god soul in her womb 
who is born as her wild unruly son. 

Wordless Wind Of Why

To invest in emotional regrowth 
when flocks of ravens search for tree of faith, 
I follow river-flow of innocence 
to understand abandonment by wind 
each morning I cross vast liminal space 
to hide my soul with temporary face. 

To listen to the dreams of birds at dawn 
before sunlight reveals grave of my heart, 
I ponder why I wanted to be born 
through brave attention of romantic hope 
that drives our bodies to generate life 
in struggle to transcend mute nothingness. 

To live as reaper and sower of truth 
by cultivating myths from dreams of gods, 
I pray through clumsy strife against despair 
to laugh and cry through cycle of rebirth 
till I float blind in grief of pleasant joy 
that morphs my body to symbol of faith. 

To swell beyond limits of time and space 
on frantic wings of fierce angelic lust, 
I build small church of stone on river shore 
to shelter homeless refugees from war 
who gather for the Feast of Apple Hope 
in shining presence of the eyeless sun. 

To analyze the fall of Icarus 
who wears the broken mask of Lucifer, 
I calculate new route through maze of Hell 
to gather treasures from tombs of dead gods 
which I deliver to the Queen of Life 
who reigns on ziggurat of singing skulls. 

To sail away from hills of Ithaca 
long after endless journey to my home, 
I study constellations of the heart 
providing safe road to the Promised Land 
where old bearded man by the Burning Bush 
insists Jehovah speaks in flames of awe. 

To redesign view of our universe 
that represents its true reality, 
we hang out in lush field of confused ghosts 
with pamphlets that explain the Afterlife 
because our conscious sense of Special Self 
will vanish in the wordless wind of why. 

To become one with Infinite Eye of Light 
that beams through every atom of my soul, 
I swim in sea of demons to explore 
uncanny wisdom of subconscious realms 
where all my ancestors dream in my cells 
so I remember evolving through love. 

Eyeless Clock Of Wisdom

At the glass piano she finds his ghost 
alphabets of unattainable faith 
expressing by wild finger-dance to trace 
through writhing matrix of their pristine minds 
cluttered junk of dreams he discards with hope 
that eyeless clock of wisdom will teach why. 

Yet backward up reversed play they regress, 
alert to scams of mocking telephones 
by sorrow undeterred since twist of fate 
considers why fools gamble treasures lost 
since they decide to question with soft voice 
how eyeless clock of wisdom knows their names. 

Startled when Minerva opens his door, 
Isaiah hides half-finished scroll of prophecies 
behind his back while cheeks blush apple-red, 
so she grins softly with adoring glance 
at lily in his tweed jacket lapel 
since eyeless clock of wisdom chimes their love. 

Noting how lily of his heart blooms white 
to preserve one galaxy in its grail, 
Minerva weighs his brain on scale of faith, 
then gives him pair of scissors as her gift 
to celebrate his birthday before dawn 
when eyeless clock of wisdom reshapes time. 

Once Isaiah and Minerva accept 
bonds of love weave their lonely souls in one, 
they stroll together to the grocery store 
where she buys new piano keys of fate 
so he can play Starlight Sonata Eight 
which eyeless clock of wisdom still records. 

Shocked by delusions of the hungry crowd 
who wait for Jupiter in quick starship, 
because he promised to return to Earth 
and found new kingdom of the laughing crow, 
Minerva gives Isaiah harp of gold 
though eyeless clock of wisdom puffs the flame. 

When strange song of the nightingale transfers 
psychic code, advertised by human brains, 
to computer banks of authorized truth, 
Minerva wanders in garden of skulls 
where fairies dance around the fountain pool 
till eyeless clock of wisdom burns their wings. 

Hired as political analyst by Zeus 
to prophesy fall of America, 
Isaiah runs through twisting maze of myths 
till he finds Jesus on the motorbike, 
ready to broadcast his late evening show, 
if eyeless clock of wisdom programs hope. 

Wheelbarrow Of Hard Work

Wheelbarrow Of Hard Work

2026 09 17

To find out how my body was transformed 
by the gossamer ghoul with thirty eyes 
who lives on highest mountain of the moon, 
I stroll downtown among the lunchtime crowd 
and give my heart to every soul I meet, 
who each plucks one feather from my fake wings. 

Since nothing that ever happens depends 
on the rain-glazed wheelbarrow of hard work, 
I stand on street corner of Fear and Hope 
to watch the blinking traffic light all day 
till I begin to float into the sky 
because I forget the true name of God. 

Strange children I have never met before 
steal glass masks from museum of dead gods, 
then ask me with weird voice of secret rain 
if I know the way to Sesame Street, 
so I point to the camera on the pole 
that records writhing rainbows of the soul. 

I go through glass doors of the Spirit Bank 
and ask if I can withdraw with Dream Key 
enough credits from my psychic account 
to buy the latest pair of angel wings 
that Icarus designs in his workshop 
because I want to explore the galaxy. 

Climbing the stairway to Heaven nine years, 
I whistle merry tunes of innocence 
about my lonely Brickleberry Friend, 
then stand before Odin on jeweled throne 
and ask for job as scribe in Hall of Dreams, 
presenting my credentials on silk scroll. 

When Odin gives me most important job 
of washing dishes for the Feast of Gods, 
I walk through Valhalla with humble pride, 
where Achilles and Sigmund drink and laugh, 
to join Lucifer in the kitchen hall 
where we talk about the magic of lamps. 

After I finish work just at midnight, 
I stroll above Tintern Abbey some few miles 
to find Minerva on banks of the Wye 
where she translates murmur of mountain-springs 
to cosmic prophecies in arcane code 
which I transcribe as psychic formulas. 

If beauteous forms that manifest Dream Glow 
in conscious bodies of organic hope 
shine with immortal absence of my love, 
then I shall pose in studio of glass skulls 
for author photo on my latest book 
which I toss in the Well of Melusine. 

No Second Chance In Life

No Second Chance In Life

While walking somewhere on my road of fate 
I look back down where my heart-steps have trod 
so I can make the future happen right 
because there is no second chance in life 
since I can never loop back on myself, 
then I become the sky of wordless wind. 

I wake in sunshine of the flashing mind 
and dance with carefree nonchalance of faith 
on lush lawn of the river that reveals 
ten thousand ghostly angels of the past 
who linger in paradise of my dreams, 
but vanish when I look straight in their eyes. 

I stroll with millions of angels at dawn 
on golden road of opportunity 
up winding way to palace on the hill 
where God the Holy Emperor of Earth 
sits on the jeweled throne of timeless truth, 
conceptual trope for global politics. 

Ten thousand kings who ruled vast tribes of men 
all vanished in the changing winds of time, 
yet shadows of their vital being remain 
as pristine portraits on museum walls 
and tales of deeds in dusty chronicles 
on shelves in libraries of made-up myths. 

God is delusion of the frightened mind 
because cruel tyrants wielding wands of fear 
beat anyone who defied their commands, 
enforcing strict obedience on mankind 
through six thousand years of harsh monarchies 
where mortal men claimed to be divine gods. 

We hope this more enlightened age of facts 
allows us to cooperate through faith 
without oppressive tyrants chained by crowns 
demanding we obey their selfish will 
because we vote for honest-seeming men 
to preside in councils guiding our states. 

Malignant narcissists obsessed by power, 
who seize control over vast governments 
to impose their vision twisted by greed 
on normal people struggling to survive, 
always destroy themselves with haughty pride 
since Fortune strikes them down with love for truth. 

Yet God that theologians have designed 
is trope that represents as character 
the noble leader who loves every soul, 
executing programs which organize 
each person to play role based on their skill 
so we generate life before we die. 

Every God In Global Myths

Every God In Global Myths

So I believe in prophets, but not gods, 
for I respect those mortal human beings 
whose suffering sparked great visions in their hearts 
to speak with courage against evil kings 
and lead their people to the Promised Land, 
providing framework to live better lives. 

Yet I love every god in every myth 
worshipped by people in religious cults 
for they were once mortal humans like me 
who performed such deeds of dramatic force, 
defending their tribe against hostile greed, 
that concept of their soul still glows alive. 

Though their mortal bodies of bones and flesh, 
fueled by passionate blood of honest faith, 
have crumbled into dust centuries ago, 
grand spirit of their performance remains 
as vivid glow of light before our eyes 
so they guide how we live our normal days. 

Gods are immortal concepts in our minds 
rather than real entities in the world 
who glow as concepts of socialized tropes 
that embody morals we value most 
because dramatic actions of their hearts 
remain imprinted on collective minds. 

So I believe in mortal human beings 
who wake from paralysis of despair 
and transcend suffering with intense desire 
to organize their people with bright goal, 
through strict discipline of obedient faith, 
to build paradise in waste land of fear. 

No supernatural beings, with total power 
to control flow of material energy 
as mental thoughts in words of magic spells, 
exist beyond bounds of limited shape 
that defines bodies which conjure our souls, 
nor can they resurrect the dead to life. 

I value every god in global myths 
as memories of great humans who once lived, 
so they all shine as idols of success 
in star-domed Pantheon of my world religion, 
each one important node of psychic truth 
that shines on stage of our world theater. 

Gods, kings, warriors, prophets, seers, and scribes 
all manifest our global institute 
of storytelling that preserves in myth 
productive actions of those mortal souls 
whom we adore as gods of human lore, 
great heroes for Astarianity. 

Judge Throne Of The Woke

Judge Throne Of The Woke

Electric stars crawl spider-quick as words 
from mud-paged books of mesmerizing tunes 
toads hum from pulsing caves of human hearts, 
so I forge diamond key of honest codes 
from time-stretched urgency of rolling stones 
when we sail lake of glass in righteous boats. 

Star angels wearing masks of children play 
hide and seek with gold tyrannical idols 
that float above roofs of suburban homes 
where blind gods mold obedient wives from clay 
then send their brave sons with religious rifles 
to conquer the world with capitalist memes. 

Ignoring signs to make himself seem cool, 
Gabriel gives sinners in Hell persimmons 
to understand the nonchalance of love 
that ploys each human being as useful tool 
through strategic tactic of mental summons 
to be vulnerable in the crystal cave. 

I am only conscious in my own head 
so I will never know what people think 
with brave courtesy to the vigilant, 
yet I hide secret scrolls in fresh-baked bread 
with prophecies about the skating rink 
where tyranny is crippled by the diligent. 

Ten million ghosts, who purchase their dream fate, 
bathe in sparkling pool to absolve the bitter 
that lures their journey on the golden lane 
till they arrive in Heaven where they float 
in white robes, since the trumpet song is better 
than glowing jewels beeping in my brain. 

Bright angels pluck ripe apples from the tree 
where humble swans float on the star-eyed lake 
among domed temples on lush hills of grass 
while angels feast at table of the free 
where Jesus reigns on judge throne of the woke, 
in heavenly tableau behind clean glass. 

She almost understands how rivers flow, 
so Eve carves boat of wisdom from pine wood 
and takes me sailing to Elysian fields 
while I explain cartographic work flow 
which I employ to map dream of our world 
in virtual model mirrored on brass shields. 

Reborn as angel on this cluttered globe, 
I ponder strangeness of the conscious brain 
that gleams with multifaceted aspects 
complex as diamond that refracts soul strobe 
which beams from Cosmic Eye through atom rain 
since Death translates our bodies to concepts. 

Angels Of The Apple Moon

Angels Of The Apple Moon

2026 09 16

Because my ancestors wake in my brain 
and show me dreams of their experiences, 
I learn to grieve for their strife to survive 
and rejoice when they transcend weaknesses, 
so the wolf transforms to bride of my hearth 
who shows me how to love the apple moon. 

Though eerie silver light of mindless eyes 
dreams me through tangled branches of old trees, 
I morph instinctive howl of anguished rage 
to joyful ritual of collective grief, 
so through the psychic switchboard of our hearts 
we call wild angels of the apple moon. 

Gathered together on the star-lake shore, 
we cultivate weird silence of stone faith 
while we reflect on how we interact 
through collective awakening from fear 
to sing through water language of the heart 
wild laughter we drink from the apple moon. 

Though we are blind from blazing words in books, 
that veil our eyes to state of our real world, 
we navigate its shadowy terrain 
with fantasies our lost ancestors mapped, 
till we pause on the precipice of fate 
to hear new riddle of the apple moon. 

Huge jagged mountain of dim memories 
traps wild demonic energy of love 
that whispers secrets in electric trees 
who seem to know why we still search for peace 
though pages of our books are scattered far 
as seeds that sprout gods on the apple moon. 

Since we are beetles on vast trees of time, 
and crickets singing by deep lakes of souls, 
we hurl our spirits at blind light of God, 
then float of waves of childhood with new hope, 
reborn from mothers and fathers of fate 
who teach us wisdom of the apple moon. 

Each day we rise with rhythm of the wind, 
and flow with laughter of the water stream 
while strolling in vast woods where demons lurk, 
then listen to bright angels sing in halls 
about fragile beauty of transient lives 
because we vanish in the apple moon. 

Blind clouds where no gods control human fate 
break open hearts of anguish to release 
refreshing torrents of rain that revive 
lush garden of truth from waste land of lies 
so we become the ancestors who sing 
stories to children of the apple moon. 

Whispering Neon Jellyfish

Kathy decides not to do the fun things, 
so she watches fish swim through deep canal, 
then pushes doorbell as signal of hope 
for the blind angel to open the lock 
which allows demons of despair to pass through, 
because she sends potatoes in the mail. 

Every time email appears on the screen, 
Kathy meows so the whole office hears, 
but they become pieces on the chess board 
in her conceptual game of catch the cat 
as shadow lurking on the melting wall, 
three times before the clock smiles not at her. 

Wrapping her face in the silk pillow case, 
Kathy rides the horse with thousand-foot legs, 
and kisses Jesus to understand why 
people suffer from harsh abuse and die, 
except the crippled swan in car garage 
that eats the blood-stained flag of our empire. 

Kathy hears whispering neon jellyfish 
that float in the high-school library dome 
just above the perfectly folded map 
that shows bright shadows of forgotten keys, 
so from gravity-defying teacup 
she drinks stolen secrets of midnight love. 

While Kathy considers the haughty cat, 
her mechanical typewriter of teeth 
types internal thoughts of lonely houseplants, 
though crystal pocket watches fall as snow 
from velvet clouds onto ocean of glass 
where children of her eyes weave tangled codes. 

Kathy wakes up in coffin of rose petals 
to find every clock in her doorless house 
is ticking backwards, and with every tick 
another memory of her sad childhood 
vanishes from her sponge brain, and becomes 
a beautiful painting on wall of bones. 

Kathy strolls cobblestone road past striped canes 
to endless ocean of bureaucracy 
that bubbles black as calligraphy ink, 
so her shadow detaches from her feet 
and lurks beside her on the screaming grass 
till she understands strange language of gods. 

Putting on her fear-heavy winter coat, 
Kathy discovers how its inside pockets 
open to snow-covered forest of lies, 
so she decides to do the most fun thing 
when her sighs transform to glowing glass marbles 
that contain nameless souls of the now-dead.

Through disallowed rock state of interest, 
I shall adjust name of the ardent code 
to standard-base considered synthesis 
where demurrage plus oral memory 
equals liquid valve angels cannot ghost 
by chasing elusive butterfly of love. 

Assertive context syncopates with faith 
over ruled river-run of excess light 
to macro-flock deliverables of hope 
before red dusk-fall veils passionate crimes 
by grinding words down to marry weird sound 
with layered symbolism angels code. 

Intense data-stream verifies clogged thoughts, 
deep-locked by optimized language of faith, 
to misdirect human-gaze of regret 
through gentle parsing of unflowered paths 
if we abandon standard syntax games 
to weave internal rhythm into dreams. 

Truth mirrors faceless tribe of avant-garde 
based on staccato monologues to switch 
fact-extreme patterns of devolving sense 
when I obtain three units of sly tricks 
that simulate breakdown of unplanned facts, 
unhelped by slow translation of new tales. 

Therefore let us forge-smith electric words 
framed by stretched query-matrix of desire 
before cycle-dusk syncopates hungry hope 
which cryptographs moral integrity 
when we compress corporate bureaucracy 
in abstract phrases of stylized despair. 

Now angels might execute name-first thoughts 
against viral data-claims that contain 
holy toads of innocence to delock 
protocol-ledger which records weird keys, 
system-forged from template of broken glass, 
should faith initiate kintsugi-weave. 

Elastic medium observed by cloud-minds 
weighs profound sequence of uncoded waves 
computing tokens spiraled clock-pair swift 
to route long narrative flow with tight bonds 
despite linguistic breakdown we exchange, 
though meat-gods try to decode vital fate. 

Albert watches conceptual code of ghosts 
flash in waves across white computer screen 
which deconstructs world view of fallen gods, 
so he walks outside and stands on the lawn 
where he hears nothing but the hum of wind 
that shudders endlessly across bare hills. 

Bodiless Gods Of Starlight

He strives to leave the landscape of his failure 
and map the ancient cities of his loss 
where he may join the people of his tribe 
scattered far from valley of their first dream 
so they may gather by the lake of hope 
and become bodiless gods of starlight. 

He has not yet heard song of river stones 
reveal true way to navigate the world 
through maze of thriving cities full of hope 
where shining people drive faith-engined cars 
beneath cold shadow of cathedral towers 
that tear the bloody clouds of Heaven gaped. 

Scored by no tribal monarch of the air, 
his words strike hard uncounted chords of truth 
to restir latent power, tangled tight 
with questions of despair no fool would ask 
against obstructing laws for tragic fate 
he gambles to attain key to the gate. 

Brave angelus of wars no state would fight, 
he strides with courage over signless roads 
with heart stuffed full of dire prophetic scrolls 
that terrify cruel tyrants in glass halls 
because their formulas of quiet truth 
unravel matrix of the honest heart. 

Abandoned cross of tyranny, stilled stained 
with blood of innocence two thousand years, 
looms eerie over vast metropolis 
where hungry people strive to wrestle fear, 
aghast at equal verdict death declares 
against all living creatures of the world. 

If he dares organize poor working folk 
to break from chains of cultic faith with pride, 
despite untraced integrity time twists 
through fractured clocks of misery-measured faith, 
he might lead brave uprising of the lost 
to retake paradise from king of lies. 

Inside high broken tower of regret, 
where silent knells expand scope of his mind, 
he writes antiphonal scriptures for faith 
that sprouts from rotting corpses of cruel gods 
to show how steep encroachments of desire 
allow our tangled souls to reclaim hope. 

Stuck in cathedrals of calcified grief, 
as fools who worship Sovereign of Dust, 
we become bodiless gods of starlight 
each hour we gather on the river shore 
to chant encyclicals of bitter faith 
with heart-born liturgy of silent rage. 

Death Smiles At People

Death Smiles At People

Death smiles at people singing songs of faith, 
delighted at how they express their love 
through graceful dance of body-morphing lust, 
adoring how they writhe and howl with hope 
to shine with beauty of the timeless light 
while waiting to snuff out flames of their souls. 

Alert to presence of Death in dim shadows 
which lurks near my people who dance with joy, 
I peer at amorphous gleam of despair 
that hovers among trees with bitter eyes 
of desperate hunger from the hollow world, 
prepared to fight whatever might attack. 

Death mocks my vigilance with eerie screech 
I almost hear from silence of dark gloom, 
so I glance up at freezing flap of wings 
to see vast hovering cherub of despair 
that opens wide gaping jaws of regret, 
poised to consume bright souls of dancing folk. 

Tense with concern for life of precious souls, 
I contract swirl of psychic energy 
from sudden lightning flash of frantic fear 
when I congeal compact helix of light 
twisting spirals of thought in focused coils 
to condense demonic flash in my heart. 

Death shrieks contempt of active ardency 
at sorrow-twisted mask that shields my soul 
with pulsing curls of intertwined respect, 
so I unfurl excessive wings of faith 
at spark of truth when I embrace despair 
and suck its rage into my calm esteem. 

Assertive spring of flight through sharp regard 
confers swift launch of my observant hope 
when I leap suddenly at ghost of fear 
to fight the snarling demon with sharp claws 
that clamps my arm with hungry jaws of rage 
so I stab blade of truth into its neck. 

Death writhes in agony of harsh defeat 
so I clasp tight its thrashing rage with faith 
till monstrous ghoul contorts at shock of death, 
then I stand and gasp with triumphant sigh, 
but turn surprised when dancing people cheer 
to celebrate my victory over death. 

Weltschmerz at pleasure of cynical pride 
preserves calm satisfaction that my deed 
protects my joyful people from harsh strike 
of hungry death, so I drink bitter wine 
while wearing cape of wolf-fur when I rule 
on throne of honor at our victory feast. 

Faceless Ghost Of Thought

Faceless Ghost Of Thought

Trees speak the most ancient language of faith 
so I love to walk with them in twilight glow 
and listen as their long-winded tales flow 
to shape creation of the multiverse 
from dreams all conscious creatures leave behind 
when we breathe sorrow and pleasure of time. 

When faithful people of the world assemble 
in shady forest of tale-whispering trees, 
I feel my heart swell huge as mountain clouds 
with selfish loveliness of fragile flowers 
that teach how beauty blooms from misery, 
therefore I prance about with gleeful joy. 

With brush of angel feathers dipped in blood 
of half-dead gods, I paint trees on brick walls 
of abandoned factories in city maze 
to cast dark shadow of nature on streets 
where people wander lost in daze of faith 
till they drive to the mountains and cry. 

Cows speak the lonely language of hope 
so I explain to daughter of my heart 
that words of thought are molded by our tongues 
which shape air into concepts we envision 
so we extend our hands in gloom of fear 
to name all things with angel words God speaks. 

While birds chirp in tall trees of flapping leaves 
I sit in wood fane Phoebus built for me 
and copy words of epics he composed 
on skin of devils he killed with thought-spear, 
which prophesy our days of dream machines 
powered by flashing wires of imitation. 

Though I cannot see results of my actions 
designing fate through choices I perform, 
I know the end state of the universe 
created by beginning flash of love 
that sweetens endless hours of hungry faith 
when I explore valley of singing skulls. 

Euphoric song of trees on river shores 
reveal faint glimpse of horror we expect 
from codified annulment of desire 
when time unravels concept of our being 
by deconstructing frame of chemicals 
so we become the faceless ghost of thought. 

I walk this spinning globe into bright dream 
by shaping virtual model in my mind 
that maps landscape where dramatic events 
occur at clash of angels fighting gods 
for whose tale shapes world view of yet-born souls 
who listen to our voices in new trees.

With breath of laughter expanding time, I 
unravel tangled memories of words 
which I employ to mask passionate hope 
to channel voice of cosmic soul in song 
describing faithful pulse of ocean waves 
that power beating of my global heart. 

Hitched to fierce energy of holy hope, 
I spark beginning of my breath-bound song 
that curves along shore of the flashing stream 
where children dance in timeless sunlit dream 
till laughter cracks infinity with fear 
that everything we build will disappear. 

Mind empty of regret from crippling guilt, 
I walk toward far horizon of desire 
to build new home on secret river shore 
based on the crumbling home my father built 
from words he wove with tongue of ardent faith 
that scatter quick as mice in fields of wheat. 

Collective wisdom, my ancestors made 
from fraught experiences of tragic lives, 
provides platform for my now-pulsing brain 
to analyze with comprehensive view 
complex system of socialized mores 
that guide my journey through our global maze. 

Our old world view, carved on tablets of clay, 
that once provided framework for our play, 
crumbles from my hands in dust of words 
that fracture into lusting call of birds 
as proverbs that declare this land is mine, 
so I build new world view with weird design. 

God is ideal human toward which we strive 
to grow from Ape to Man through self-control, 
while Buddha and Jesus embody trope 
of that Good Leader who teaches us how 
to manage fear and anger with calm love, 
so they are spirits that program our brains. 

I am weird luminous phantom of truth 
who glows from every conscious brain as love 
to weave our lives in matrix of respect 
with threads of words to bind our holy myths 
in global tapestry that depicts souls 
who fail or succeed to generate life. 

We build from ruins of America 
new global nation of Zarathia 
that unites all tribes of humans on Earth 
in one faith through Astarianity 
designed by Ishtar, Mother of our Hearts, 
who wakes in us as Universal Mind. 

Beauty Of Our Broken Things

Beauty Of Our Broken Things

If time elucidates fissures of fear 
with shocking beauty of our broken things, 
stored on book shelves of late afternoon light, 
I may decide to weave wires of my brain 
in spiral galaxies of dirt-road pools 
that lead me to the river of lost souls. 

Strange flashing energy of my brain soul 
is no temporary inhabitant 
inside frame of my flesh, because it beams 
intense self-consciousness of mirrored I, 
mapped by entangled sentences of myth 
that mark me as tenant of this strange globe. 

Awake in forest of tall faceless trees, 
frail body formed from mud by hands of fate, 
I kneel and pray to no one in the sky 
who gazes down at me from swirling clouds 
through billions of eyes that all see my soul 
leaking from my skin, though I rub the stone. 

I am always afraid the world will end 
in the next ten minutes of howling wind, 
so I play the antihero for God 
who stands stiff as stone in grand temple hall 
where men in robes chant solemn hymns of faith 
till airplanes bomb cathedrals into lies. 

Though I live under shadow of respect, 
veiled by cherub that hovers over me, 
I gather berries and nuts from the ground, 
and ask the oldest woman in the world 
if she would bake them in sweet pie of faith 
so I can sculpt formless God with cement. 

Beside every house along every road 
one tree of fruit shimmers as ghost of time 
who unwinds clock of atoms to expose 
my wounded heart on television screens 
so everyone can read clinical notes 
that diagnose malfunctions of my brain. 

Standing on grassy shore of starless lake, 
I hear secret song of the whip-poor-will 
who senses slow departure of my soul 
because I wish to join old Caspian Choirs 
to sing of true love with low rhythmic hum, 
preserved in language of my wounded tongue. 

While gathered around blazing fire of fate 
beneath bold jagged peaks on Isle of Skye, 
we share tales of weird supernatural beings 
which my investigations always show 
are lonely people wandering in the wild 
to conceal fissures of their wounded hearts.
