American splendor

A pop carnavale

The greedy get famous

The poor rot in jail

The glitter and star light

Is doing its job:

Distract and divide while

They rape, kill and rob.

Is that a pimple on my face?

Oh, I'm such a big disgrace!

I can't keep it all together as I should.

The only explanation's I'm no good.

I want too much. I need to much.

I never learned to mind my p's and q's.

I didn't toe the line and pay my dues.

Now my dreams,

Oozing day by day,

Bleed out

With the atmosphere.

What am I even saying?

If the right people hear, surely

It's a treasonous crime.

And, unlike those

Whitehouse lackeys

I may well end in a cell doing time.

Samantha's Monster

A monster?

More like a reverse butterfly,

A noble creature turning into a worm.

Samantha is not the power,

That is corrupting brave Hillary.

I say this not in anger, but in sorrow.

Turning in principles for power,

Is selling your soul in bits and pieces.

Eventually you become something.

That is called a monster in archetypal realms.

Being a monster does not show up in birth charts.

It can happen to anyone.

Blowing through Life

I drink them in,
Your words
Of lithe and light
And falling into meaning.

Hot, parched soul that I bring
To party through the changing,
Moods and captured essence
Enrapturing liquid emotion.
Capturing brief moments,
Dripping down my throat like song.

Blowing through life,
Into a magical canyon
Stygian rain ignites
Wandering visions.

Madness unbound
By resplendent derision,
Rocks into devastation of lullabies
Expressed through Lilithian eyes,
Way past the limits
Of light and reason.

In a gentle corner,
Made of more glorious dreams.
Love's candle burns
Warming celestial clay
New worlds orgasmic in grace,
Explore passion.
