In the Dark

Could you identify me
If we locked eyes on the street
Would you recognize my
Shadow or see my outline
Backlit across the drapes
Along the wall
I see the candlelight
Flickering beneath the sheets
Open your mouth
Let the light shine out
Sparks between us
Starlight enters through the
Windows and there’s a demon
Up ahead maybe we should
Reconsider getting out of bed
Disappear without a trace
Touch me now
Kiss my face
There’s a devil dancing
In the field below
Just past the edge of the
Rooftop you can see a
Pale moon beaming
Over a trail of tears
Fire and fears footprints
Burned into the years
Before us the past is ours
To let go of much like the
Emotions we’re desisting
Heat between us
Still persisting crawl onto
The roof with me breathe
And feel the mist of destiny
Beneath our naked bodies
Would you recognize me
If you saw me on the street
I’d recognize you in the
Way you speak even if I
Saw your shadow passing
Silently in the dark

Happy

Science and love
The wayside above
Requisite hardware
Is missing I swear
Underneath my back
Rescinded ruptures
Earthquake in my core
Full disclosure
These might be the
Erotic overtures
The devil warned me about
Would you tattle on me
If I told the world
That I loved you?
Embezzle my heart
Runaway from the start
Uncompelled to get up
Even by my own right
Needful sprawling around
I find my body is
Spread out all over the ground
Grassy floor mouth open
I watch the stars trickle out
Dancing up around your eyes
Orange moon changed tune
Sprite bones and a spark
Fold our fingers in between
Glossy melancholy dreams
You make me happy

Devil Crossed

The devil crossed the nine of wands
Chained to negatives alas
In desert country
Even cuffed in brass
Probes against resilience
Kicking up the courage
Was his test of faith
In a dark unholy bath

Seven swords of past betrayal
A king of intellectual power
Pages written for a novel army
Outcomes plague the midnight hour

Popularity contest for six
As the pentacles approached
The magician made a chariot
Fit with horses ten fold forth

Expand the feathers

Silence speaks a thousand words
A magic wand can say much more
The battle between angels
Happening on a hellbent floor

Fire and smoke
Can blind the best intentions
Without a rope the tug of war
Has no tension to resolve
A wicked trance an oozing sore

The serpent slides along the sand
The hierophant calls judgement too
There are good and bad folks out there
How will the shield protect the truth?

In love and death

Some will use the blade for light
Some will use the quill for dark
Watch the clock of these behaviors
When the magic hour stops

It’s a jungle out there!

All illusions will dissolve
Fall away unveil the star
Bright of hope above the slope
Machette through the Amazon
Pluck the forest of deceit
Absolve the personalities
Seeking the roots
That always supplicate
Pure love

Idle Tongue

Idle hands it is they say
Is where the devil be at play
Dance around the fire
Display in a
Delightful merry way

Light the candle
Shoot the spark
Watch the smoke rise
In the dark

My gossip queen
You plant the seed
Watch your tongue
Roll out the deed

Secret are the words
Projectile turns left yet to burn
Quiet quiet til they bubble
Up creating all the trouble

Dramatic fork we taste the
Naughty vulgar wicked
Licks of tawdry slippery
Unmistaken brazen
Things you say

Evolve into a sacred world
Make the changes that will
Swirl out a progress
Disenthrall the beast
That’s knocking at
Your door

Your choice to stay
Around the pit even
To hang out or in it
Is liberation to
A friend
Observation
Soon will end

To rise above
Is to defend
An age
Well spent
Deliver me
