Sunflower
Yellow rose on my grave last sunday of May
emerald glaives breeze like tsunami waves.
Her champagne curls whisper atomic dawn
pale palms on my stuttering casket
drowning chest filled blaze;
Tangling gold weaved rays cast new days shadow
misplaced memories surge as cherry blossom kiss,
Tendrils of earth ripped,
raw veins chewed by maniacal rats
twilight chains grapple buried faith.
Floret lashes brushed by diamond droplets;
silver locket sways gently beneath cloudy skies,
indehiscent bloom sparks gilded cage.
Oft her neptunian breath rings me;
bells ding and now we’re talking;
announcers call it:
red lips knock me out.
Ether
Porous concrete driveway rumbled hoppy
Gravel like militant pulsar-eye youth
Arms ready, chamber NATO rounds, say your
Peace: Legion bound- MACH 10- light bends as
Emerald tendril embrace, she calls like bear mace,
Scars my palms in hurricane dismay, stares
At feeble lightning lips, striking cancerous
Skies; Kneel, sheath Legion sword swift, Council nigh;
Entity with countenance of midnight,
Sizzling coals pulse red optic highlights
Like bulging veins; connected to Gauless,
Dark Tower command, he knows the skies as
Flippant Zeus, commander in another
Realiti, shined onyx leather boots,
Buttery flakes of gold flare the toe box
Cloaked staggered dreads rest on winded cape, steps
Confide in perforated steel steps, yellow
Lights radiate rustic boots, dress pants flow
After each collision; atomic glaives
Return to gunner slots. Aims and Cowells
Stand facing Entity 00-4,
Nameless after THE FINAL MARCH to denote
New hierarchy, only Council members
Were deemed with their true Entity design,
A means of departure from Legion ranks
From disintegrated armies, flesh was
No longer enough, nor metal as a
Substitute; Rise agents, direct me to
OBJ TARANTULA's sanctuary.
Aims scurried, crossing his fingers like a
Knotted pendulum, Cowells in awe, this was
His first view of a Council member, they
All project their holographic visage
From Dark Tower GLASS, they had not walked earth
Since their victory over Old Regime
Operatives, rumors of machines of
Council design brushed agent circles, none
Truly cared only passion Eden fruits
Called implanted eyes, Hellfire bikes killed darkness.
War ready 00-4 shattered industrial door
Onyx boots smelting feeble sanctum mouth
Devil's calling, strange grenade scrambles
Surviving comms, pulsing veins with goose bumps
Rising as laser rays shocked eyes with stray
Whispers of underground chatter, 00-4 knew
Within microseconds what this tattered, home of
Unfurling overgrowth was: entrance to
The Underground; a means of escaping
Historia with ease, a supersonic
Bullet train rumbling freedom: a grand gesture,
A means of rebellion to Legion.
Entity 00-4 unveiled wavering cloak
Facing dirt devoured wall, once flowery
Lilacs sung against seas of cerulean
Ether, molotov ignited… realms flee.
Empire
Dragon scaled midnight moon shedding indigo
Blades of interstellar dust, ethereal
Scales brush holographic cotton candy
Skies; plasma high fades primordial flames
Etching Cowells' cratered cerebrum, Aims'
Eyes coursing with tarsal veins, rampant cells
Gush in hexing spirals, roads viral locks
Suffocating chambered trauma, minor keys
Cling to Coupe’s marble breath, songs of life echo…
Retrofit headlights like outlines of black holes,
Abyssal darkness shrouds oncoming highway
Signs, creation beams expel veiling deep
Beyond extinction and unseen exodus
The Infinite awakens peering honey
Graced pastures, stratocumulus clouds shout
Heaven sent predations, flesh laced and clasped
Call forever never waning even
In far off Afterlife; claws crawl carelessly
Leaving pools of oxidized blood; squid scorned
Ink paints in the Book of Dreams fating a day
To be met: dandelion smile. crystal heart.
Winter never sang so cold, syrupy
Cerulean suburb embankment, sweet
Skyline clings to hazy smoggy tapestry,
Silky residue pours down leaves of grass,
Frontier houses consumed by overgrowth
Growl, planks and termites, spikes invite headlights
Revealing Legion Hellfire bikes and slain
Heads; Aims parked Coupe by evanescent optic
Wires, tires cough specks of ancient dirt, Cowells
Detects scents of electrified flesh, Rangers
Yell, pointing to a ranch house with a pine green
Industrial door; Aims at the ready kicks in
Feeble entrance, colt clears cluttered halls, soft
Pastel colors degrading from hungry summer
Fangs siphoning once docile identity
Now cultish resistance, banners of distant
Freedom, colors of old societies.
Cowells cleared the last room, snub nose revolving
Awaiting underground fiends to slice his skull
Wide open, what was behind the rosy
Rusted door was stacks of black and white notebooks,
Cracked pilot pens plastic scattered on a
Dove white dresser with dandelions painted
On the fractured wooden handles, blades of
Grass and freshly grown glass decorated
Tan carpeted floors, Aims scoured war run
Room and knew what Entity had resided
Within these crumbling walls, Aims called over
Legion MPs to confirm suspicions:
OBJ TARANTULA was here, inform
Gauless: COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 44
Is complete, awaiting course…Entity
00-4 preparing flight Delta,
Oceanside access to be determined:
We await Council. Cowells peered the infinite once more
Cascading bronze mountains glittering in
Maple syrup drizzled lens, new sun coded
To perfection reflecting shadows of
The unreal, unseen buried as centuries
Past, engines erupted from afar, mach
Ten majesty booming from Dark Tower,
Somehow aviation lighting reaches
Honey dipped pastures, soon we will arise.
Bespoke
I've got my father's lies
blood feuds and past pieces of familial armaments.
I open my dusty closet
brush six month old boxes, trinkets, electronics…
I slide shirts seeking something new to wear;
a new skin hiding behind
my tees or was it by my button ups?
I left it in here
waiting for it to be worn on a day
I could no longer stand my past.
coughing stardust tremors
Nothing ticks within my weary brain,
i’m still alone in january militant gloom.
I shatter like ice:
trillions of crystalline opiate screams.
Gaseous giants emerge from gurgling darkness
saps of sparking light reach out like hands from a swampy grave,
Wrinkled green ham hands breach my unsettling dreams,
horrors pave scolding tar roads…
I push away incoming sunshine,
embrace blanket zombified entities,
Tendrils sail blushing black hole abyss,
one purple suctioning tentacle blinks scarred orange sun bliss,
Phoenix risen fever beams dive like assassin mermaids,
dolphins onyx pulse my screeching unconscious,
noxious green flails swirling milky way.
Burdensome to my neighboring friends
i Isolate.
Eternal sunshine bury me with Death’s mercenary occult,
let me rule afar in nebulous realms:
explode with nuclear force;
consume garlic bread with diablo breathed supernovae
spaghetti soul fusing with unraveling dimensions
i am yours,
without doubt
no question
i
am
infinite.
Rose
I deceive pale night
sweet rose burns in lies.
Altered fate breaks my gentle state,
they want a machine, blood thirsty ghosts.
Blank mind buries me in ten mountains of snow,
sweet rose thorns my sides.
Crown of sorrows,
murder bound gentle beasts peck..
Flesh filet mignon
with squirming maggots in deep red.
Some notions return in apocalyptic scent,
hellfire bends afar- we dance among ghosts.
Slow december days winding to january gloom,
dearest friends learn my absence, off i wilt.
Sweet rose burns in lies
strange pangs sink and burst.
Dandelion love swallows goblet sun,
ruby wine thorns your midnight dress,
Red tie holds me like cerberus chains,
vain shadows meld my fate.
Valleys flooded harp your angelic entrance,
slopes splashing sol radiance
Wedding bells toll,
cold hel welcomes me.
Sweet Rose,
burns my veiling eyes.
홍대
Vintage clothes and tar spiraled smokes
fist fights with drunken model dames,
gents swaggering inn k p o p fashion.
Pubs booming with flesh-tearing bass
early 2000s hits send kids to rage;
tequila shots and capsuled white death.
Kisses ripe strawberry blush
baroque college girls buzzin’ under green and yellow
7/11 midnight neon hush.
Around devil’s den she scurries.
bar hopping dark-curled angel veiled with
razor tongue quick to butcher my ill-heart inflections.
I swim through Seoul afraid.
winter breeze fades my bare skull;
walking miles, passing thousands.
Streets narrow, shops call in neon buzz
skyscrapers fierce, unphased by glacial breath.
Sudden winds upend my nervous den,
flaky mind dropping anxious crumbs,
break bread with yourself;
Enemies come and go,
little by little you forget yourself and
meet up in a gleaming city all unknown…
Extinction
Crimson plasma soaring hazy highways adrift;
galvanic implosion divides misty abyss,
second chance to retort coming doomsday.
Soon blood will r u n
still… cold...
Palms leather bound rested on snowy peaks,
exposed grey clouds whisper ash sleet;
on wind shredded plateau we sing psalms sworn.
soon light will bind, claw stolen visage.
Like snake skin we fall
forever … slither s l o w.
Crawl spaces vermillion,
velvet warmth taps gravelly demeanor,
soft fingertips like chronic sunshine veiling void cellars;
Dilute frozen hatred with
past selves.
Alone we guide our cloned flesh famished for elapsing conscious
slide shows of traumatized prokaryotes,
hoppy malts splashing crusted walls- layers of past incursions-
sealed with demonic platelets thorned with keratin spikes.
Capillaries burst,
red cells rush.
We bury our ancient eyes resting till
sunlight punctures our eerie eyelids with cosmic radiance.
soon blood will run.
To Laugh Again
I remember that laugh.
12am shaking twist bottle caps.
Cool harbor mind deploying frigate fleets,
loading shrapnel cannon rounds.
mental artillery crashing eroded beaches.
Climb claimed machine gun nests,
rest once your weary heartbeat spits
re-sculpting fluids.
Vacay once voracious riptides,
shove hard liquors down.
Drunk to comatose depths,
swimming past layers of my room's darkness;
Laughing without
judgment.
hatred.
fear.
151
Sung night eccentric
tender evergreen nectar
infec.. tious…
Spread sentient liquor,
sweat of eve, revival infested.
anger swims like
Sea dragons in abyssal
canyons; burdens comet onyx
sealed, orange volcanic bliss
Covet our ghostly spirits
drifting unfinished countertops
nod at her, round up
Chivalry and spit wicked
whistle, sentient liquor
storms valhallan guts
Awake in afterlife;
unconscious fights my
snipers breath.
Caustic mind regrets,
fight time with swamped
Dimes, lost time and sickened
Seconds, lost to Beelzebub:
God reunites the visage, drink
to disunite the feelin'..
