(I) Twilights Dance
Prologue
I had this dream, this vivid image of my mind
This mercurial manifest; there all the time
A day walker I couldn't see
Comes into conception when I'm fluttering
the sway of ballet's dance of the twilight
My dreams...
The night bestows all knowledge
The Aurora of light in this ephemeral hallucination
A watchman, a Bohemian, a benevolent guard
Precious gems are they, who keep watch
over my treasures…
This underbelly for which are forever
Sacred
Profane
Myths
Unspoken
Naked
Absconding meditative forethought; nor
preponderance of this immaculate universe
Nocturnal in the Loin's of its imagination
I desire for my waking hours to be light
Of the twilight; mystical world
The moments when I'm most alive
This existence is already dead
To initiate dreams through exotic chemicals
Denied
Denied
Denied
I want to break through the baldachin
I want to cut a tunnel through the floor
In my dreams I see everything
Break through the door
Break through the floor
Break on through
Break on through…
The time draws near
The times are clear
Tighten the bonds
Don't like what you hear?
Some causing ecstasy
Agony's wail for others
You decide
Turn this off
Fire it on
Yours to awaken
To keep
Or put back
To sleep...
(A) Brave New World
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world!
“New World Order”
Dixieland man
Texas, Radio Texas
During “Big Jim's” foray
Glee in his drawl;
The fuss and chatter
Four corners closing in
Shadows the Lantern
Brave New World!
Computers to intimate
Begins a new world!
Lines on the map
“Pawn Broker's diamond”
Cold love of a woman
Brave New World!!
Where they end
We begin
Lord only knows
The world thrives
By drawing so near?
Prospero Governor
Greatest of wise men;
Opacity to rules
Paramount to borders
Goods pass on through;
Humanity’s sieve are
Lines drawn in between
Brave New World!
Computers to intimate
Begins a new world!
Lines on the map
Crow's feet eyes
Lines for nothing
Brave New World!!
Where they end
We begin
Subterfuge design
Enveloping cerebrally
For clarity
Man under one deity?
Man offering one charity?
Man speaking one tongue?
Every man, world citizen?
The closer we get
Divided we become?
Brave New World!
Computers to intimate
Begins a new world!
Lines on the map
Lines like the cracks
Fissures in the earth
Brave New World!
Lest I fall in between
For better or
For worse…
Tis the wind and nothing more!
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore
(B) Nevermore
Under the sky
This grey morning
Not a single ray
Will break through
Cold fogged mind
Impenetrable
There was a time
Of joyful triumph
A made man was I
Scorned woman
Made I of you
NEVERMORE
NEVERMORE
NEVERMORE
Years swept away
A flood of lament
Rueful creature
Of torment
Tales of whoa began
By a pen stroke
Our highness Prospero
“The Middle Kingdom
Now shall rise again!
At whose expense it will
Depend on the stature
Of every gentlemen
Comparative Advantage!
His future improve or impoverish
Proving useful or utterly futile”
Oh Lenore...Lenore don't leave me here
Alone in this desolate land
Lenore...Lenore!
I beg of you!
Lenore! Lenore?
Cruel heart has she
NEVERMORE
NEVERMORE
Oh Lenore...Lenore don't leave me here
Alone in my desperate manifest
Lenore...Lenore!
I beg of you!
Lenore! Lenore?
Cruel heart has she
NEVERMORE
NEVERMORE
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore
HELLO YOU LOWLY
LITTLE MAN
I HAVE KNOWN YOU
FROM AFAR
SO LET US BEGIN
THE TRIALS OF
YOUR MIND
WHAT'S DESTINED
A PROLOGUE
IN KIND…
This ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore
YOU LITTLE TWIT
NECK DEEP IN IT
THEY FINALLY
GOT IT
TOOLED AND DIED
OUT OF A VOCATION
FAMILY AND FRIENDS
ALL ABANDONED YOU
EVEN LENORE…
"Wretched" I cried, "my God has lent you—by these angels he has sent you?
Respite—respite and nepenthe, from my memories of Lenore?
I AM FREE TO FLY
AS I PLEASE
TO PLANT AND
SOW THE SEEDS OF
DISCONTENT
MY ADVISE HARD
TO IGNORE
AS CERTAIN AS I
FLEW HERE TODAY
HAD AN AUDIENCE
WITH PROSPERO
THE GOVERNOR
AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I blame my fate on offices of men
This vile creature that I now turn to
gives a cold blue heart to do deeds
because now of what and who I am
NOW MY LOWLY
FRIEND…CALIBAN
I MUTTER IN YOUR EAR
DIABOLICAL PLANS TO
AVENGE AND EASE
YOUR SUFFERING
BUT FIRST
DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?
(C) Azazel
Spirit of the Wilderness
I was there in the garden
Perched in a tree
I witnessed the Serpent
Deceive “HIS” blessed
Creation of man
Ohhhhh happy days in deed
I was there at the time
Of sorrow HIS torture
Unlike mine
Bound to jagged rocks
Not suffering the Cross
You question me?
Images painted
For your mind?
Images I provide
Through my words?
I'm lowly a bird?
A dullard?
In ancient times
Sent forth a goat
Sent your sin far away
Into the wilderness
So I would forget
But you forgot about me
I am here the Dark One
To see it through
My diabolical plan
Destroy the avarice of man
No woman nor man
Can resist my spirit
I was in the Gethsemane
Loathing and laughing
Perched on Judas's shoulder
Imploring him to accept
A few shekels of silver
Not for the Messiah
“Thy Will”; but, mine...
Raphael that snit
Bound me to a jagged rock
And caste me out
Of the heavens above
This “Lion King's”command
Persecuted me during his watch
Your myopia has set
Me free: EVERMORE
Through my little man
Caliban, I now act to
Lay waste the land
NEVERMORE
NEVERMORE
NEVERMORE...
Once upon a time
I who was there
Distracted states of mind
I'm where you are
There is no peace of mind
Here as shown
The derelicts Stalin
Manson, Hitler all heirs
To my eternal throne
It was me
Ear’s whisper
Invoking confusion and
Wide spread fear
Your inside of me
And I'm in you
For better or worse
Nothing left to do but…
bow down
Bow Down
BOW DOWN
(II) The Supernovae
“Prospero's Lament”
I am the Heir
To this Kingdom
Through ingenuity
Divine Providence
Far beyond expected
Achieving notoriety
Whale in a pond
Relentless my
Desire to grow
My treasures
As far as the
Horizon and beyond...
Antonio, Alonso
Convincing
In their arguments
Giving consideration
And all due respect
Their words offering
Keen acumen
Great insights
Full of mirth
To embrace
The Silk Road
Days of yore
Middle Kingdom
Of the earth...
No man is
An island unto
Himself
Our cohesion depends
Upon our kinship
Lone Wolves myth
Finds Tempest's Island
Abandoned; desolate...
I promised my father
Never to sell out
Our Craftsmen republic
Deceived by Antonio and
Alonso promising
Betterment for all
What have I done?
Reviled, now in exile
Like the desolate island
Of The Tempest...
I was so sure
My vision
Obscured by coveting
That which I see
A seed planted
Given time to root
The intricate network
Like tentacled ivy
On occasion poison
Pray for Miranda
My innocent child...
No man
Is an island
I have found myself
Our cohesion depends
Upon our kinship
My Lone Wolves myth
I have found
Tempest's Island
Abandoned; desolate...
Rueful and woeful
The chatter Raven Bird
Perched on the sill
Of my window
Crowing with
Laughter...
nevermore
Nevermore
NEVERMORE
(B) Borderline
Another carefree
Day in the sun!
My life of refined
Consumption!
Touring through the
Kingdom in my
New Mercedes
Doing as I please
Oh Brave New World!
How beauteous
All my friends
Digitally hands free!
Tailored skirts
Leather jackets
Bra pointed tassels
Going to hang
At the “Borderline”
Poindre spirits, fine
Food catering to
Beauteous people
Like us
Tough talking homey's
Scopeing gyrating vipers
College night at
"The Borderline
Bar and Grill”
Miranda baby doll
What will ya have?
A Jello for me
Schnapps for them
Marie,Opel, Sophia
My Corsican friends
Slam this one down
No time, second round
A few errands to run
Will swing back again
Dance the night away
Shut down this place!
Going to hang
At the “Borderline”
Poindre spirits, fine
Food catering to
Beauteous people
Like us
Tough talking homey's
Scopeing gyrating vipers
College night at
“The Borderline
Bar and Grill”
Ephemeral spirits
Our social epic
Adventurous foray
Pappa shouldn't worry
Innocence long gone
Young and free
This is my time
This is our time
Strange days
At the Borderline...
( C). Mr Heretic Lunatic
( “Rampart, rampart...we have a 5150...shots...I repeat...shots fired...2020 California Drive)
( “Borderline Bar and Grille"...over? Copy? All units respond...I repeat all units respond)
Caliban: I now see
The course to take
Beguiling Raven
Sent to me
Divine inspiration
Mystical
Rebirth,destruction
Subverted reconstruction
The world shall
See my genius
Revel over my
Plan thorough
And true...
To lay a renewed
Foundation
The Final Solution
Evermore!
Miranda: errands done
Time to kick back
Have some fun
Radio on
Digging the back
Beat, murky
L’American swamp
( Breaking news...SWAT teams descend on the "Borderline Bar and Grill")
( An intense firefight erupted with multiple fatalities; stayed tuned...)
One man's heresy
Another calls it
Lunacy
Opposite poles of
Thought
The blameless in
The middle caught
One man's heresy
Another calls it
Lunacy
Opposite poles of
Thought
The blameless in
The middle caught
Mr Heretic Lunatic
Masterful, disasterful
Thought
Caliban: Take the guard first
Lock the door
Look away, pull the pin
Until it goes click
Count to ten, smoke clears
Same as the first
Now even worse
Miranda: Oh my God!
Answer your phone
Run, hide or fight!
By all means necessary
Bathroom flight
Hide in plain sight
Face down, no breath
Dare not move a muscle
Throw a whiskey bottle
Throttle evil’s head
GPS on, no one moving
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Are they injured, crippled
Or dead?
One man's heresy
Another calls it
Lunacy
Opposite poles of
Thought
The blameless caught in
The middle
Mr Heretic Lunatic
Masterful, disasterful
Thought
(III) The Battle for Humanity
Civil Unrest
(A) “The Other”
Hear the bell toll?
It tolls for thee!
The mark is not with you
Instead chose “The Other”
Leader of the walking dead
The evil hides turning his back
On the ones with him who have fallen
No honor among thieves, pedophiles
And the wicked “Wiles” of the harlot
Easy prey already divided
March them into the abyss!
The “Word” as swords drawn
During the divine torture
Inquisitions repose
Eternal revival
Heed the call father's
sisters, brothers, mother's
“Bones to Stone” for the
“The Other”
The thoughts trickle in, unlike a deluge
Steady and slow; relentless as blood
Coursing through veins
An insidious onslaught of “Darkness”
Hollows you out leaving nothing but a
Broken, shrunken carcass
Crafty are Judas, Caliban
“The Other”
Nail them upon the inverted cross
Hang em high on the wall!
Given due time, if it isn't enough
Lower it and kick em below
Progeny of Judas who subvert us all
March them into the abyss!
The “Word” as swords drawn
During the divine torture
Inquisitions repose
Eternal revival
Heed the call father's
sisters, brothers, mother's
Progeny of Judas who subvert us all
“Bones to Stone” for the
“The Other”
Bones to stones for those who chose
“The Other”
Bones to stones for those who chose
“The Other”
Bones to stones for those who chose
“The Other”
Bones to stones for those who chose
“The Other”
(B) Hang em High! Hang em Long!
Hang em Hard!
How can it be? Gang bangers
Thugs, murderers, thieves
Behind a gilded cage
Doing what they do best
And please?
This ain't no reform school chump
Time to learn life's lessons and lumps
The innocent weap what you have upon
Them heaped
Don't blame God or anyone else
We didn't assail you pigeon smidgen dump
Forget it reprobate mind the time has come
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
For those that you have cast aside
Hang em high!
Hang em long!
Hang em hard!
Your arrogance that
Claims ignorance
To the abyss! Your lie
A lifetime of living
Don't tell me that
You didn't know?
On Azazel's chalkboard
Write this a thousand times
At the sound of the trumpet:
Groan “Humanities
Cry”
The lines were
Cast so long ago
It's bad enough that
You didn't know
But the fact that
You were so reckless
In your naivety as
You claim it to be
Set yourself up
To be the wretched
In Azazel's wilderness
EVERMORE!
Forget it reprobate mind
Time has come
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
For those that you
Have cast aside
Hang em high!
Hang em long!
Hang em hard!
Right here, now
EVERMORE!
(C)Time of Eternal Light
Head forth
Into the craze
Neon streaming
Zealously seeking
Through this corrupt
Infested maze
Nothing noble
Depraved inside
In the final days
Of this dying world
Wrath written upon epitaphs
Indiscretion leaves
Nothing; and,nowhere
To hide
Ooooo! Cross!
Rahhh! Lamb!
Ooooo! Blood!
Rahhh! Tomb!
Ooooo! Risen!
Rahhh! Revenge!
Don't dare look back
Lot warning his own
To ends of the earth
Shall turn you to stone
What thought was great
Now nothing in this world
Seven years of blindness
Distance through time
Shall transition from night
Powerful are the meek
They shall inherit the throne
Such will be the way in
“Time of the Eternal Light”
Ooooo! Cross!
Rahhh! Lamb!
Ooooo! Blood!
Rahhh! Tomb!
Ooooo! Risen!
Rahhh! Revenge!
The camel.passes
Through the needle's eye
Alonso's Illuminati who plot
Plunder won't hesitate to
Announce their roar
Project their thunder
Can't pass beyond
A measly gait?
What came first
The chicken or egg?
Monarch's or those
Left behind only
To beg?
Bountiful gains or
Senseless depravity?
Avarice or the life sustaining
Vocations that Antonio
Sent away?
Ooooo! Cross!
Rahhh! Lamb!
Ooooo! Blood!
Rahhh! Tomb!
Ooooo! Risen!
Rahhh! Revenge!
Don't dare look back
Lot warning his own
To ends of the earth
Turns you to stone
What thought was great
Now nothing in this world
Seven years of blindness
Distance through time
Shall transition from night
Powerful are the meek
They shall inherit the throne
Such will be the way in
“Time of the Eternal Light”
Arrière Pensée
In the “Times of Tragedy, and Tribulation”
Your on your own
So you had better cleave
The time of “Wayward Priests”
It's revealing...the times
The rain comes down
Bittersweet; battery acid
To the tongue
The time draws near
This time is clear
No place to run
Indian Shamen
Ephemeral Spirits
Gyrating on
Jupiter's
Moon
Yours
Mine
Never
MORE
(IIII) The Optical Refraction
Miranda's Song
I want to feel love
What else can I say?
Life here feels
So suffocating
Tell me what to do
Always been true
In this world, decadent
Decayed
For you...yes for you
For you...yes for you
The words upon the page
Centuries old…
But in truth never fading
The Dead Sea scrolls;
Confirms mindfields timeline;
Everything...
I want to feel love
What else can I say?
Life here feels
So suffocating
For you...yes for you
For you...yes for you
There is so
Much wrong here,
You can see…
Come back now
Release the bonds
Our shared humanity
Though rivers
Tumble over cliffs
Storm clouds here
To cosmos abound
For truth, certainty
There is a cost
But there is hope
it's not too late
Reclaim paradise lost
I want to feel love
What else can I say?
Life here feels
So suffocating
Tell me what to do
Always been true
In this world, decadent
Decayed
For you...yes for you
For you...yes for you
(B) You Know of It?
In the day of this present world
Can't you hear the whisper?
If you open your heart to change
What would be the danger?
The demons have come to
Claim your past
In truth nothing rarely changes
Through your stupor and paralysis
Nothing built on quicksand will last
Nothing that you say or do
Is going to forsake you
Time will break you
And then reclaim you
All of your will to resist
Only constrains you
I know it pains you
To know of this
I know yours; you know mine
The Lion King that comes
Do you know of it?
How can it be it's been so long
I know you have been wondering?
The Lion's King's heart is
Nothing you've ever known
Patient and long suffering…
Present can be your future now
Hands to knees his enemies
Not one soul ever forsaken
Day of reckoning coming
Our champion Lion King
Nothing that you say or do
Is going to forsake you
Time will break you
And then reclaim you
All of your will to resist
Only constrains you
I know it pains you
To know of this
I know yours; you know mine
Lion King that comes
Do you know of it?
Washed in Crimson's Love
Washed in Crimson's Love
Washed in Crimson's Love
Washed in Crimson's Love
(C).Optical Refraction
A glistening light
Illuminated Moon
When the angles
Are right...
Mysterious Stygian
Blinding dawn
Times clockwork
Birth to here
Rebirth to beyond
Return back again
Second Coming
Optical Refraction
Beliefs are reconciled
Mans second coming
Humanity set free
From contempt, profanity
Greed, Lust, Gluttony
Pride’s Envy of Wrath's
Sloth of in action
A bending of light
Optical Refraction
The mystery of truth
Obscured by the obtuse
Myths, legends, themes
Unknowingly common to all
Appearing in Hallucination’s
Dream since man's fall
Come on man, absque
Lay down your guns
Bite, swallow, cut out
The Serpent's tongue
Mine, yours, everyone
Optical Refraction
Humanity's Resurrection
Humanity set free
From contempt, profanity
Greed, Lust, Gluttony
Pride’s Envy of Wrath's
Sloth of in action
Parousia...
