Too Bad About That Virgin Sacrifice
The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale red chest scar
A Christian or Muslim
The six wives and their husband
The Buddhist, Hindu and Jew
Add them to the queue
God wants borders
God wants light
God wants peace
God wants war
What God wants God gets God help us all
The Cardinal at the altar
Took the blade from its hook
The mother goddess in the corner
Read the ritual in the book
The hooded encircle the aura of fear
Reporting the truth can never come near
God wants blood
God wants sweat

Rubi's Art
I never miss a special occasion.
Placing the rich red fruit on the canvas; peeling off
The leather skin exposing a spongy labyrinth.
Careful not to Injury the tightly packed red juicy sacs,
She cautiously works her way down to the
Delightful pearls…the finest art.
A picture perfect woman thou art:
Virtue covers your person.
Charm coats your smile.
Warm colors encircle your heart.
My friend, go ahead, consider me disloyal- in part-
in my testament to your modesty and talent that
you prefer to conceal, accuse me of
"blowing your cover". You're dear to my heart; and I
accept the charges of honesty and the freedom of expression.
Some are of "Noble Birth", others not, still others feel they ought"

Time XXI
And an astronomer said, "Master, what of Time?"
And he answered:
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,
And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not form love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?

LUv 3v3rlasting
He’s fierce and uncaring when he leaves her side,
Ruthless and vicious a humor that lies,
When he’s around his friends,
He puts up his shield,
Laughing and joking about all that is cruel,
Humorless and thoughtless about how others would feel,
But when he returns to her,
The one he holds d3ar,
His armor falls off and his heart is revealed,
Clattering to the floor to echo enclose,
His cold heart of stone,
Turns to one of liquid gold,
Vulnerable and loving,
& all the emotions,
Left behind the curtain,
Is drawn back,
& come out on his face to play,
Strolling across his cheek bones,
Acting inside his pure blue eyes,
His wings no longer thrash at everything around,

Go, Little Book - The Ancient Phrase
GO, little book - the ancient phrase
And still the daintiest - go your ways,
My Otto, over sea and land,
Till you shall come to Nelly's hand.
How shall I your Nelly know?
By her blue eyes and her black brow,
By her fierce and slender look,
And by her goodness, little book!
What shall I say when I come there?
You shall speak her soft and fair:
See - you shall say - the love they send
To greet their unforgotten friend!
Giant Adulpho you shall sing
The next, and then the cradled king:
And the four corners of the roof
Then kindly bless; and to your perch aloof,
Where Balzac all in yellow dressed

(Naughty Poems) A Challenge You Cannot Hide Away From
Little darling
Again he is gone to sow
Mayhem among the soccer
Loving fraternity and they
Are sick of his twaddle debates
And I whom you desire
For yourself I am issuing this
Challenge you cannot run away from
I am all alone tonight
I need to encircle you and crowd
You in the square jungle of the thunderous
Entry of my passion and you can
Run from my hugs but you cannot hide
Forever from my wild all out love
And I am left to my devices and
This is a dare you are asked
And tempted to grab as soon
As your beautiful heart starts
To rage with the pangs of love
You cannot hide behind the trees

A sun blaze
It might have definitely rained somewhere
The sun was not to be seen anywhere
The clouds were running here and there
Some sort of clash was there to fear
So far sun was omitting full blaze
The animals were avoiding grazing
The grass was almost burnt to death
Everybody feared most with his wrath
The earth was about to shrink
The sky too was clear and about to sink
It was assumed no respite in near future
The sky had let loose the ray’s terror
The clouds were charging heavily to overshadow
They were peeing through open window
All preparation was on to encircle the sun
They intended to out smart and make him run

The good Samaritan
The Good Samaritan
Suddenly there occurs an incident,
‘Tis a harrowing gory road accident,
The man affected, is on the mid-road, bed,
Lying helpless and bleeding from his head.
His mo-bike is smashed from the ride,
And his belongings all strewn aside.
The passers-by for a view encircle him,
Curious at the happening so grim.
Many a vehicle did zoom past,
None did halt for they hadn't any heart.
A renowned, reputed and lauded man,
Too passed by in his popular van.
People around rushed to him for help,
But he turned aside and gave a yelp.
There came forward a person, guileless,
And spotted the man lying forlorn and helpless.

I, Twitter, Stutteringly Remember In Cyber Chases
for Ocean Vuong
a reprise from
Stillborn Falls.
'It's got to do with America,
my love of music, my grotesque loneliness...' - Henry Miller
Are not all summer nights
born late in America, fading
only when morning glories
breech fairgrounds entire
continents long,
fog draped at dawn?

The Demon Has Been Set Free
You're just not good enough I keep hearing over and over again.
Fairly marginal at best.
Well let me I say I will not rest.
I will perfect the art form till I see some kind of success.
Or collapse from all the stress.
Forever is a long wait.
And it's not a chance I will ever take.
My dear son you will always fail.
The ship is already sinking here's a pail.
It's the only help you will ever get.
You've got the absolute worst social disease,
From the inside out you're just so god damn ugly.
Watch as my personality splits.
A fracture of the mind.
I'm no longer just one man.
I have overcome that one of the soul of the damned.
The floating angels encircle me.
They are looking for a way to destroy me.
But I will not let them.
No never give in.
