POETRY CORNER
REVENGE
___________
Four graves they'll find
when at last you come for me
One for the regal pride
upon which I stood high
One for the wretched soul
I tried, but could not save
One for the broken hearts
that lay scattered at my feet
But this I pledge to you
The last shallow earth
I will save for thee ....
EMPTY FACE
__________
I remember you
first to make
the battle cry
but last to take
the field of honor
Yes, I remember you
preaching from hell
the gospel of love
for each and all
who did not question
And I'll remember you
as they lay you down
not for all you were
but for everything
you'll never be
TIME
___________
Time moves
in slow circles
fingers of smoke
taking apart my
mind from within
as I search
myself
for reasons
to build again
with less
than yesterday
but more than
tomorrow will bring
I fear nothing
beyond the dreams
I leave behind
with you ...
QUEEN OF THE PIXIES
________________
From your throne
granting audience
to every wayward myth
and random misconception
Radiant in your denial
you are the queen
of the kingdom
of the fragments
of the lives
you seek to destroy
With your - pity me
and whorish sigh
resplendent with cleavage
as you grace the court
ever alone
ever apart
from the love
you would call your own
DILLINGER BLUES
_____________
I walked out of Crown Point
with a wooden pistol in my hand
but it's never what it seems
I'm not a legend
I'm the man
and time honors only
the forgotten and the dead
the melody remains unchanged
but each lyric
is subject to interpretation
moment to moment
hour to hour
day to day
Some are born to rule
others still to die
but in the end
it is not death
but reckless abandon
to pace
which lures us
to the edge ...
