Simply Beyond HelpZounds!
longing for a
merciful descent into
the terminal ground
where smoky eyes
semi-watch
streams of
semi-(dis)information
exhaled from
smoking brains
on a mission
to search &
deconstruct
ticking clocks
taunt
timely bombs
lost in
purple blobs
of
orange haze
awaiting
purging deluges
sprinkled with
white bolts of
blinding hell
the raving
raven's
feathers flicker
while
flippant tentacles
grope...

Glossolalia
"Glossolalia"
I closed the external noise out,
and upon entry to that strange place
the colour of Love,
silence broke the heart open
like trumpets penetrate the heavens
revelations were opening in my mind,
and the invisible surrounding me...

Hey Diddle DiddleHey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon--had no fiddle,
The little dog laughed, got smashed as a Poodle,
the cow laughed a little, and found the fiddle,
The cat played to Nero,...

Zero, One, or TwoI
Two wiener dogs and their owners so proud
Approached each other right there on the green.
Then, the hounds commenced at yapping so loud.
But that wasn’t the dangdest thing I’d seen.

Circus VisionCreepy patience, eerie desires following the dreamlike honeycomb,
consistent unawareness, wax in tatters, exhaling fortune-tellers, spooky scenario,

Artificial Iris
"Artificial Iris"
Orwell was lurking in the background, somewhere;
the dream was eerily familiar,
the words and their meanings, read in Syntax,
once read between pages of hardcopy in school
were aptly ignored -
however,
our Overlords were...

Hieronymus Dipped
"Hieronymus Dipped"
The neurochip sucked me like a lollipop ... mind first into the dream,
squeezed my thoughts out like tubes of candy coloured toothpaste
all over the deus ex machina, Hieronymus dipped his brush in
an attempt

Liminal Space-SurrealityClassical infusion Beethoven’s “ode to joy”

Purposely looped to destroy vagrants with electronic music

lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting,...

the surfing sailor tosses on the waves of youthful life,
rolls on the curled crests with the splintered moon,

and weeping
