‘A witches heart’

My heart is big for I love nature.
Authority, I always question.
Magick is a current inside me.

Magick is a thought-twisted; bent.
Equilibrium is what I am.

The wise beg for equilibrium.
King master of the middle pillar.
I seek to discover the unknown.

A neophyte on the throne to seek.
No desire makes me a master.

My true master is the Phase of Moon.
Truly indeed, I learn from her tides.
Forever in service the gaia.

Forever not will to hypnotize.
The path reveals my own bewitchment.

Along the path; I even hug trees.
Dancing of love and live to meet Pan.
His forest is indeed my center.

Don’t Throw Snow

DON’T THROW SNOW *

The prison guard yelled!
“Put that snow down”
The snow ball fell from my hands.
Down to the ground.
Also did my head look down.
I sad in place for a time to ponder.
What harm becomes of snow?
Twa’s not ice that I held
Sensory deprivation.
Just to touch the snow is a privilege.
The prison guard came close.
A shadow upon me.

Inside was oppression
Outside was rage.
OK’
I wont throw snow.
Torture!
My inner child has been held back.

It’s being held hostage.

The Prisoners Dream Girl

The Prisoners dream girl

I would want of her peace and tow birds kiss.

Lots of suspense and what do I do next.

Reading and writing surely her passion.

Apples and berries is all of her scent.

Bonnie and Clyde but nothing of murder.

Two of friendship, holding on to each will.

For the last breath of one, holds as both, cry.

Simple evening food, one great kiss held still.

White soft sand by the lake without any sock.

Her flower dress would ripple with the wind.

She would have dreams of music, as like I.

We would face new love, I would poem, sing;

‘An ole song thats stuck in the 60’s love,

Put a peace sighn up, before I wake up!

Recidivism Nightmare

Recidivism Nightmare

 

Insanity hath no rest upon me.

Does my current grasp the scent of wrongness?

Lack of control surely is my demise.

Snakes slide and slither in circles with hiss.

 

Be banished ye serpents!  I see as traits.

My chemistry is outlandish, help me.

I can find no balance in my tumble.

It is misery to feel this discreet.

 

For a second the days sun brings good joy.

For a year decades pounce me thunderstorms.

The says sun comes quick and makes a half smile.

Then my own snakes, so lustful, find dreams torn.

 

‘Freedom oh freedom’, your sweetness lurks me.

A lovely strawberry; rotton, I eat.

G/A/C/D

(power chords)

I guess I’m a drifter

just living a show

I guess Im a hipster

With no where to go

I dont like TV

I need a radio

Music right no

In mind I’ll go

(V1)

Like a bird that flys away to the warmth It’ll be ok

Passing bye halo and wings It’s an angel an angel with wings

(chorus)

I guess Im a seeker

just passing bye

I guess Im an outlaw

The honest kind

I dont like hatred

I need some LSD

I am free now

Come fly with me

(V2)

(chorus)

I guess Im learning

just trying to slow

I guess Im a convict

down in a hole

I dont like pain man

I need religion friend

listen close now

I sin amen

Homelessness

HOMELESSNESS

 

Outside the city a bridge becomes home.

The old metal can burning rubbish flame.

What kind of next is broken glass and cold?

 

Nocturnal torment feeding wanning flames.

Microsleep of rest because of this cold.

Piss and beer with dirt still this is my home.

 

Life like this turns even the heart to cold.

Can I make this soil bridge a happy home?

How many drugs will I touch with this flame?

 

Cold this body; send me home to hell, to the flame!

The Circle Now It’s Time

The Circle Now It’s Time

 

I cast the circle now it’s time to thrill.

Wonderful him with horns playing the flute.

So if I sing to gaia pan comes quick!

Spirits dancing all of us as a group.

 

How many songs have sung to the earth?

Pagans before me chanting melody.

Apollo has come with his bass gutair.

My worship will become a symphony.

 

What is a sonnet but music to all.

Gods are dancing and bast does the egypt.

Thoth will soon come because there is much voice.

The warble continues love the music.

 

Crackling of fire a ballad of awe;

I will close the circle right before dawn.
