tracing Iblis

Run my serpent tongue along your teeth,
I’m a crocodile watching you sleep.
I’m the sandman in your wildest dreams,
snatching your breath supping fleshy meat.

Demon of the night: guttural growl,
nothing can stop the onslaught now.
Storm in a teacup brewing black clouds,
waking rituals, murder most foul.

Devil’s palm smothering glossy lips
roughly trace distinguished fingertips.
Snarled curvature mimics a grimace,
burned, sizzling, layered epidermis.

Rusty spear plunged into dragon’s spine,
writhing: rhythmic; gouging scarred waistlines.
Mute protestations, request declined,
obscene shrieking as I bite inside.

me and erring

gothic spikes
glitter blood
venus fly trap,
twins of Sirius,
if you knew it,
unfurling inferno
god of war
ebony sky though
burns us
flesh deep far
no reasons why,
sensing light leaks
original sin,
three letters
two vowels
interchanging,
mutated,
give you unseen gifts,
two emeralds,
and a pearly string,
I am the third king,
two faces of the moon,
guessing I’m the rough,
you are the smooth,
mysterious phases
stranger churlish,
pushing away
unguarded beaches,
perched on rocks
eating salted seaweed,
past points of learning,
knowledge is…
curvingly yearning,
tired of waiting
continue to do so:
why do you steal my dreams?
who invited you in?
Terrified of committing,
penance is limbo
wandering earth lost,
searching,
for something
at what cost?
R
E
W
I
N
D
searching,
for something
within me all along
stupid song
rusty nail
apparent stake
resembling a fake
on the cross
thudded a nail
through his hand
palm was your heart
expecting him to beat,
with seams ripped apart
dangerous waiting,
anticipating fated
a Second Coming,
God takes my living,
deceased,
might not be strong enough,
I stare into space,
you stare into shrouds
making a wish
on your face in the clouds
you can see me now,
encircling globes
I Am : Miss Understood

god and my right

Trace my jawline with the rough of your thumb
Eat out of my hand, panda like bamboo crumb
[Deletion]

Lacquered words varnished glossing numb
Platinum darts sinking into genuine puns
[Poison]

Dirty luscious things, diamonds or scum?
Stifling acrid metagrobolizing columns
[Come]

Sudden fearlessness in pinging bedlam
Mortifying collaboration crystallising flotsam
[Quandom]

Pierce my fragmented heart with daggered love
Sing your jaded song to every jezebel above
[Stinging]

Shattering bone cracks sickening sputum
Seeping into devilled tongue stagnum
[Venom]

Hissing steam encasing son of gorgon
Snaking cat eyes fixed and stubborn
[Wanton]

Twisting corkscrews clashing sacrum
Releasing bridled apocalyptic tantrum
[Chasm]

Collapsing topaz clarity inciting phylum
Resonating roars of decorum
[Silence]

Distinct death resurrects stench of a phantom
Living malignant melanoma biopsies, ad infinitum.
[Perdition]

eat my ology: the disintegration of a butterfly

Sitting here, wondering what to do. Yes. Wondering. Wish I was wandering through.

Cutting quicksand with laser beams like Moses parting the Red Sea. Digging for the lost soul of an Egyptian mummy. A lost soldier of fate and philosophy roaming schools of thought with my invisible army following behind me on transparently sturdy deep chestnut horses, my battalion of strength fails and falls to its knees sucking up clear dust through pretend dry nostrils. Or is that inside my head?

What’s the different between f and ph anyway. It just appears to be that iota bit more intelligent. Maybe because phD randomly comes to mind, automatic genius. Automatic rifle. No wonder the world is insane. Confused. What is arty about artillery warfare, is it the same arty art in the arterial network of capillaries giving me life? Is that an oxymoron in a random way, or are life and death intrinsic to art itself? It’s rhetorical, don’t try to answer. I suppose you must be a moron to physically want to kill another human life for a bit of soil, a bit of land, that you can’t take with you into the afterlife anyway. Make sure you haven’t got spots though, Oxy 10 is not as effective as the adverts say.

Machines have automated me to a point where silence is no longer permitted which is amusing, to me, as the machinations of my mind(s): my thoughts, are never drowned out by their white noise. Why is it white noise? Not black noise or brown noise. Latent noise. Red, green or magenta noise? Is a noisette whirl noisy because it’s not exactly nice tasting, or maybe that’s why it is noisy? Or am I being too nosy? Why does the rest of the world drown out conscience, and what is good in god? It’s only a matter of an o, it’s a nice letter, all vowels are lovely.

I wonder what happened to that girl with the teddy bear who sat so nicely against those colours in that weird psychedelic circle of electronic rainbow life, end of transmission, good night. Now (now is a funny concept in itself, fleeting, flitting, never held down, different to the millisecond before and after but still the same) I am transmitting all the time. I am always on. But the switch is just there, try it, it’s not hard. You will realise what you have been missing. Personal solace and you wonder, No wonder I keep losing my trails of thought, no wonder I am wandering who I am because you’re w – a – o – ndering and you don’t even know it.

Oh, I thought I was sitting down but I find myself looking out of the window into the sun behind the clouds. Except, I, am, sitting, down. Why do you not wonder about getting up? Oh but I do, I just don’t know if my feet will take me where I want to go. But your mind will speak. I don’t know if my mind can utter words of wisdom. Hush already, this is confusing enough. Just imagine then. That’s latin, that. But don’t you find everything is? Just a variable cipher. Still living the same way, except there’s exponential freedom to kill at will. Thou shalt not kill. Murder / Kill – what’s the difference, taking a life, that’s the same too. Expunging breath, it breathes dirty on your soul for all time as you struggle for a way to make it bad right. Remember that movie, The Good, the Bad and The Ugly – who was who was what anyway?

Back to that wily serpent, love: the origin of change. She was not afraid to re-arrange yet she is apportioned all the blame for all the rest of history. Another irony (maybe God invented it and not the British after all), she was formed of his rib but was ultimately, the thorn in his side which made him fall.

cracking

crackling skin skingling in mingling djinns,
I’m walking through spiked glass, stunned and numbly bleeding,
nameless, painless, shameless shade of grey seething
contempt as he prepares to wrestle with me every day,
testing strength and resolving might with an array of stray plays.
He makes me pay, he gives me faith and yet He takes it away,
riling me in every conceivable way,
I can’t understand why He puts me through this pain
inflicting worldly conscience turning my diamonds to rain

he rests his head on my already broken shoulder blades
when I can barely even breathe his pressure and strain

when I can barely bear the reality inside my too cuckoo brain.
Multiplied exponentially by a million mulled thoughts again and again

And I set off to wondering which game to play, who shall I be today?
I am in plain sight for the sane but absent from the same,

I see me, a puppet in his lame game, but does he see me?
Where is my lost part, the second half of my phoenix heart,

placed in this universe somewhere far, fading from my destiny, lost at the start,
Lost on a pathway to neverending peace, I stand beneath a planted tree,
I wander this earth continuing to belong to an unspecific nobody.

I wade through shaded shadows, engaged, enraged, caged
to a spirit who leaves me at the first sate of daybreak,
he promises me love but he’s a calamity on a page
wishing whispered nothings to something about delay

and my dreams sycamore falling like snowflakes

until the dust devours my skin,

belonging to nowhere,

to no body,

nothing.

boys break their necks for their boyz

blowin’

cop chase for joke
for blow we need to blow away
wreckin’ streets forgetting meets
protectin’ gentle safety
mine and yours
creepin’ seats on all fours
logs and plates ketch fame

today

my man stig
two blues hit and licked
driving untamed
they know my name
see the game I play
five oh witness lay claim

boi

layin’ his life down
infront of big wigs
faded majestic crowns
wearing four-day frowns
roughin’ sleep on streets
whisper a surah yeah

seen

dangling from rear views
lookin’ stretched, I love yous
inbetween mistakes and regrets
life of torment
