Drifters
I hate the drifters
That come from city to city
Hole to hole
They just come here to steal, absorb and conquer
They dig their trenches
And bury us in our flooded redness
Beat
And felt up like a hell-hole
Of under represented
Not respected twenty-eights
Drifters
Those fuckers
The nerve of them
Giving me unordered spinal-taps
Making me have oral condensation
Listening to star
They come and go
Travel on
But I don’t need them
Or you
Because you abused
You used
You are a drifter
I hate those drifters
In and out they come
They never stay a while
For a cup of English tea
They take away our teddy bears
No try-ons, just thieves
Everyone is like a walking sarcophagus
Filled with freshly read newspapers
They borrow and burrow deep down inside
They don’t get to know
The take and never give
Those drifters
The just spend your money
And waste your time for some delight
And leave out the back door
With your warm towel
Damn drifters.

Darkness (Version #2)
I’m starting to descend
Into the angel’s grave
I’m painting dark paintings now
Come into their depth
The paintings are blackness
Cold, dark midnight blue
I need to bolt them to the walls
Permanent and Resistant
To the children’s grabbing
And to Salomé
My passion is growing
To fertilize the land
With my lasting soul
My shadows no longer lurk
They capture me and pull me
To the underground
The silence is no longer my enemy
But my constant friend
And eager lover
They continue to lie to me
Telling me about the fantasy lover fame
And I cannot even make a frame
I pretend all these years
Not to work in a morgue
Not to feel the grooves in which we slide
The door is opening for me
I must go
For it is time
To move
The door is ajar
I can see the darkness
Forgive me
As I must go ...

Daily
Daily
I think of needs
And want the wants
But when it comes down to the simplicity of it all
Its so difficult to just be
So I wind down the clock
Take it back
Fix up the drugs
Give myself the injection
And think about her
I rank on the thoughts
Contemplating it all
The worlds collide
And the wonders keep up the juxtaposition
She says shes not the devil
She does not torture me
But I know the facts
She is just a playboy spinner
I sit quietly in the corner
So when I come up
One day
She'll say hello
In a different kind of way

Dollar For A Dream
Why did you bend down towards me?
Show me your cleavage?
And how do you do that trick
And spin your necklace around and around
Your charm falling between your breasts?
Why do you do that?
Flaunt and tease me
Putting handcuffs on my warm hands
And make my heart full of a snake’s cold blood?
And how do you cast shadows
And make the darkest night darker
How come my depth is only commercial to you
Yet you can reveal your inner self
Infront of me with your tits?
Why is it when I mention real English
You shutter at the thought of what I say?
Why do you do that?
And question my origin?
How come you can leave it open
Or close it
But when I come in
It does not exist?
How come the power that can be seen
And the mirage that can be felt
May seem to me
Just a fake orgasm?
Just a time that I want to hold onto forever?
Why do you do that?
Why do you shove your breasts in my face
If I have not given you a dollar
for a dream?

Dance of Love
Walking away
Taking you by the hand
Killing rabbits driving by
Thousands subjected by blood
It’s Christ who is preventing
Yorkers are telling me I’m going to Hell
I love you
Really, I love you
How to express it
How to find it
I’m taking you by the hand
I can repeat
I’m entitled
Let’s have sex
Baby
Devour me
Sink on me
And show me your inner light
Pour some golden honey down your back
Glide, slide and feel your inside
Dance
The times are mammoth
This town, I’ll get out of
No one said anything
When I put a gun up against my head
I love you
I do
It’s Christ who stands in the center
It’s God who is the devil
It’s me who you see, you fuck you like to draw on your April birthdays
It’s Valentine’s day
And you think you know my rap
Mother fucker
You just fucked your mother
Political bullshitter
I think I’ll be the baby sitter
I love you.

(Disease)
witchcraft taxes
whirlwind cyclops of Cassidy kids
dumfounded complex glass dusters
inject me with lost blood of
your period slash soul
question authority after the fuckers
bend my metal brain plates
deflower my fluid and suck out my protein levels
spinal tap screw driver me 13 times twice
fetal neuro and nurse me to
better times
because I love you
calendar years and days pass
I’ll be a cure for your horrors
and blow my raw head off
to save your thoughts from puberty dreams
and maggot pussy holes
upon grandmother’s Chinese carpet

duck duck dye today
death is only a matter of time
created by your own thoughts
of adventure
and bi-products
of mankind so-called corporate relationships
duck can be found on canal
just a way from 296 past the restaurant machinery stretch
kansas knows what i talk about
on occasion
it’s the greatest
the most possible
that split second, its alive
grey skies over tone
cartoons of refreshed coffee brews
avenue west of london memories
and numbers inside humid times
burning cigarettes
proving love and vitamin c
beach bundles exploring inns
coming together
dinner times
how much is that?
light magic
complicated on her breasts
in the bottom of my mind
my lips tied together
stapled with rusty school bikes
protected over
not giving in
hiding the want of malcolm x blvd
and putting on girlie underwear
showering tests
so happy to take a normal one
after those bad meds

Dream
I met her
just the other day
she was walking
in my shadow
I knew her all along
but just met her the other day
Beauty presented herself
In my darkness
She came in front of me
My lonesome path
She entered me
passed through me
but she got caught
caught in my heart
She is dancing there
dancing, wearing black velvet
She thinks there
and as She does
I whisper to Her
during the nighttime
and day
I try to dream
but no memories come out
accept the one in my shadow
the Princess of my heart

Darkness
Approach the darkness
encompass it
hold it
let your dreams dive into it
share the memories
don’t be afraid
the love will last
and pull you through
the darkness
it makes us scared
and some strong
to me, though,
darkness is good,...
because you don’t know who kisses you.

Do you prefer angels or devils?
On sunny days I like angels.
On rainy days I like devils.
On some sunny days I like devils.
On some rainy days I like angels.
On all sunny days I like angels.
On all sunny days I like devils.
On all rainy days I like angels.
On all rainy days I like devils.
Sometimes I am one.
Or the other.
Other times I pretend. Or dress up.
Other times, its someone in the mirror,
or over my shoulder.
Sometimes you are.
I prefer both.
Red or Cold.
Heaven and Hell.
Both, below and above,
from the East they come.
Dig down or rise high.
It’s a position I’m always in.
A debate I continue every day.
Sunny or rainy.
