My Daily Hypocrisy
I see dusty boots and a tortuous trail,
I watch the little girl lift a pink thermos to her lips and absentmindedly drop her lunch pail.
I see a myriad yellow and black signs the meaning of which I find difficult to decipher,
To the dragonfly carcass and detached translucent wings on the sidewalk: "everyone has to
pay The Piper."
To you: "I see your blue blood, the same blue blood that runs through me,
That liquid star dust; the petrol of humanity."
The little girl picks up her lunch pail and squints at me--either she didn't understand or, like me, she doesn't want to see the web the world is weaving,

Nothing
Nothing is the apex of creation, nothing is oblivion, and nothing is everything in-between,
It is ubiquitous, yet immaterial, felt and even heard, but not seen.
Nothing is an excuse, a small prevarication, a common mitigating circumstance,
the beginning of enmity,
The calm before the storm, the light at the end of the tunnel, nothing is the by-product of decomposed possibility.
Nothing is a flower's nectar to the sole of a boot fast-approaching, a nascent epiphany thwarted by a transient distraction,
An infidel's protestations of faith, that which lies behind the eyes of a widower, nothing is the result of inaction.
A black f
Roundtable of Defeat
Amidst the waiting there is something I hold,
A memory best left forgotten, an image of old.
Thick with dust and longing mixed with coagulated tears,
My whole world comes to fruition the disgusting copulation of all my fears.
A gathering of the unknown at the round table of defeat,
All of you, I ask your forgiveness; I cower at your feet.
I rend myself and display the pieces,
Stained glass soul for sale, defaulted upon leases.
Husk for rent, roomy interior, lots of hope, but musty with sorrow,
What will it cost to clean up this mess? Ill take care of it tomorrow.
Im caught in this snap-shot, th
Sea Salt and Confetti
Papier-mâché, turquoise blue sea,
Caress, envelope, taunt, and take advantage of me.
Cool like milk, soft as silk, weave your watery thread through the impatient eye of my needle,
Wash over me, terrible tsunami, soaked fingers fervent and curious, yet feeble.
Clawing, groping, pinching, and gingerly tapping every hint of flesh,
Patiently counting each goose bump manifesting with your every caress.
I take you all in and drown, papier-mâché, turquoise blue sea,
Spewing from my mouth, glinting in the sunlight, homage to yousaliva smeared confetti.

Vengeance Clouds
Rain pours from me to you,
Thunder trembles beneath my flesh.
The sky turns from purple to blue,
And glistens upon the grass wetly fresh.
Vengeance,gather in stormy silence in my time of need,
Spoiled Milk
The sickness of a rusty faucet swells in a
hole of colorless water,
and it glows in the radiance of the son of
earth and evaporates in the wake of her daughter.
The rain is a gentle massage of the living
and nourishment for the dead,
I don't care about the barren stems of roses..
I only wish to see their petals on my bed.
Grass so deep and rich in color--covered
with dew and shining like a wet emerald,
wicked birds swoop high and low,each acting
as the official herald.
The gentle drizzle of rain kisses my world
and dried leaves mount where I stand,

Cicatrix
A crystal spider without a heart..
translucent for all to miss,
Pear shaped scar sleeping on my shiny
abdomen..breathing unnoticed.
Crawling in the shadows while
cloaked in fear,
Looking about with glassy,blue eyes
and wishing someone would draw near.
Someone to touch and sweet water
to smell,
But I spiral endlessly into the dark,
timeless vortex of hell.
And I was beautiful,once..a heavenly
sight to behold,
Now,cursed to roam the wet blades of
grass in this crystal mold.
Desiccating anything and everything
in my path,
Anger me and suffer the
It lies beyond the mass of clovers where
the serpent hives swallow,
that's where I should be--the place where
yesterday is today and today is tomorrow.
The light beyond the mist was an energy I
used to call my own,
now I am inches away from my destiny and
lightyears away from home.
I hear a waterfall gurgling and the terrible
sounds of creatures only I shall discover,
and I see trees covered in blood..spiders that
glow,but the nymphs are infinite in number.
Somewhere,ahead of the chaos--covered with
ice crystals and falling snow,
that's where I should be--the place where

Let the black clouds roll and the
grey droplets fall,
Come down from heaven on your black
chariot and save us all.
From the destined terror..envelop
me in your doom filled gaze,
Allow my mind to step through your
threshold into that neverending maze.
Let the pink sky fade and the sun
goes down,
Whispers enter my ears as leaves brush
against one another and all around.
For the long awaited trial of the
ghosts with wings,
I wish I didn't have to see this..I
wish I didn't know these things.
Rise high into the sky,tsunami of
cold,black and tall,
Come down from heaven on y
Long Ago
Turn your back on me and remember that
pretty flowers bloom in private,
Think about how good my petals will taste once
you have forgotten what they taste like.
You must become invincible to my affection and
invisible to my loving eyes,
Carefully make ready my blood in ceramic jars
and prepare to kiss my heart.
Long ago,you held me in your arms and I
watched the sun rise behind you,
And with your arms around my waist, the
moon darkened behind me.
Turn your back on me and remember that
the sky changes colors,
Think about the fireflies that swa
It's coming..
I know what I saw and no, it's not all in my head,
I don't want any warm tea, don't touch me--no I
don't feel like going to bed.
It's out there, don't you see? It's going to eat
me alive,
Inevitable demise..the sun sets one hour after five..
It choked me last night and laughed when I
couldn't breathe,
I spilled the milk,ate the broken glass,but it
wouldn't let me leave.
I don't want the world's damn consolation prize..
I just want to go home,
And I don't want anyones comforting words or
reassuring hands on my flesh..I just want to be
left alone.

All Is Lost
Once upon a time in a world that was
mine to take,gloom came crashing down
upon one and all,
Tears filled in my eyes and forever
shall they flow..so they did when the
sky began to fall.
Crushed beneath grey clouds that
smelled of despair,I found myself
alive,but at a great cost,
For the world I had known no longer
existed..all was found and now all
is lost.
As I witness the barren nothingness
before me,I struggle to breathe,
And I wish that somehow,I had died..
all I can think about are ways to
leave.
The sky is
They are your lies not mine
But why then does it leave me feeling dirty
Her voice echoes in my mind
And it wasnt even love
But then
Why is it playing over and over in my head?
I want answers
But the truth is right before me
I wanted you to want me
And you hungered for me so
This I know
Now I know
It was her you were hiding from
Me you were using
Like a dirty rag
Spider webs around me
Images are haunting
Who was i
Whyd I do it
Whyd I let you touch me
God your eyes were lovely
Let me just say I was drunk, will that suffice?
But it doesnt
Because your finger prints linger on my chest
Your lips stil
Paradise
Carefully thought out, a delicious nothing; an endless journey,
It's paradise set upon a world in motion; it's paradise swimming through a cobalt ocean.
Complete comprehension will rise within time, during this effect of natural animation,
It's paradise under the black sun; it's paradise on the brown grass.
The clouds are larger than life--the whole world is in a fog,
Although it's tempting to remain asleep under these comforting sheets of constraint.
I breathe it all into my body until I become the vapor that I was,
Countless visions will mend during a rare, yet familiar realization..
Black sand below me and above me; all I

the hardest part is the intonation (ranging from 1-5). since i already know japanese, i can recognize the meaning of certain kanji (or han2 zi5) quickly, but i don't know how to pronounce them in chinese.
it's a lot of work, but fun. keeps the old noggin' fresh.
