ventricular solvation - original poem

ventricular solvation

only salvationists know

of the solvation of awareness

the ability of the unconscious

to protest in psychic projections

like mouths in every airy cloud

vomiting etheric liquid spew

raining on selected coordinates

of humanity going on below

only a handful of the honored few

the indigo girls and boys

flying past humanly time and space

into the atmosphere of Jupiter

where they choose to evaporate

like the anhydrous solvents

carrying the leftover residues

that transpose their scattered bodies

fueling the violent gears

twisting and gyrating

their neural wars for GABA

their fantastical fights for truth

dissolving in the evenpool

of the third ventricle

on this night only

the dark triad's unholy youth

golden gryphon eyes - original poem

golden gryphon eyes

your golden eyes

focus on the far

rather than the best

how do you behemoths

gryphons of the night

train your black pupils

so precisely and purposefully?

teach me the secret gift

how to collimate and illuminate

my scattered visions

bouncing off the god head

these waves of pure motions

and unadulterated entropies

combine into a singular cloud

of calculated creativity

they become tainted by the grey drabness

of a cisternal reality

they become pliant on the walls

of flattened vesicles told to stay quiet

I beg of you please

to lend me your eyes gryphon friend

I must get even with God

I must heal my internal wounds

all of my absesses flow

from being shunted too soon

from the terrarium of childhood

and streams of ever-flowing life

I had no choice in choosing

but was forced to mount my windowsill

to stare into the dark dismal skies

and dream of perfect germination

but inside my headscapes

I have learned to ride many mutant beasts

that can fly through opaque pink clouds

and sweep past shadows dripped in darkness

so I'll stand true

in a tall hood of glossy jet black

these alchemical responsibilities

may have made me into an outcast

But I'll still name the names of those

who stole the movements of my hands

and forced me to write of pain and truth

struggling to breathe in a cancerous youth

so pray for me please

your woeful widdiful friend

I just want to see through sparkledust

and your golden gryphon eyes once again

to peer upon the shine of the sun

similarly golden and everso bright

Dave Wolverton Covers

Dave Wolverton is an author who most people know for his contributions to some of the Star Wars novelizations.  However, his writing runs deeper than that, with a handful of titles and covers to his name.  I recently picked up a copy of On My Way to Paradise (last picture) and I am extremely excited to read it.  Seems like a gory Halo-type of adventure.  I am all game for that!

Here are some covers now:

the devil's biologics - original poem

 

the devil's biologics

normal orbital

sinus rhythm

and phlegmatic secretions

spewing out of leaky pipes

a prophetic sepsis

and transcendental hyperemesis

to remove all the gastric pus

and floating, circulating germs

taking turns

dipping and diving

in the swirling wavepools

of homicidal blood

and cystolic distress

decanting blood-borne biotics

with a re-purposed

dialysis machine

spinning smoothly

on a clamoring pump

rid us of our humanly evils

dissolve our primordial pasts

de-methylate the dark magician's mathematics

and spoil the growing cultures

contaminated with the devil's biologics

copper crown - original poem

 

copper crown

the copper crown

is falling off my slick skull

these collagen deposits

never called royalty home

and the ruby jeweled necklace

is snapping off my neck

a poorly sewn heart

doesn't know how to handle emptiness

and the alternating moonstone beads

wrapping around my wrists like handcuff mitts

only serve to strangulate my veins tighter

pull the stretchy skin back tauter

reminding me

there is nowhere to escape

from the crazed concrete mazes

encapsulating these old

creaking Lakewood homes

medical nightmares - original poem

 

medical nightmares

I'm tactfully placing

these white and yellow

wildflower spirals

in the centerfold

of my chipping vintage

Grey's anatomy hardcover

right by the pages

with pen and ink sketches

of Machiavelli's skull

by the illustrations

of honest bones

humored through discipline

and utmost diligence

to please the residents

at the grand round wards

encroaching on my room

with cold lavender hues

I'll put a metal canister

from old gurney steel atop

pressing all the captured moisture out

and get the rich flowers flat

so I can feel like I'm doing something

with the fruits of hard cased seeds

unfurling and expanding

when lost alone

in the halls

of medical nightmares

The Dust of Emotions - New Allpoetry Community Book Project (October 2022)

Kevin Watt, author and owner of allpoetry.com, is putting together another community book project featuring works from multiple poets and writers on the website.  I submitted my work for review and inclusion, marking my third time being involved with these projects.

Overall, I think Kevin and his team do a great job offering writers feedback on their work and compiling a great book with compelling design/structure.  I like to use these books to connect with other writers on the site and to see my progress as a poet over time.

The next book is entitled The Dust of Emotions and my poem entitled apothecary dust will be featured.  I figured the title and content of this piece was fitting for the title of the book.  I will post links of where to buy once it is out in mid-October on Amazon and bookstores.  

Cheers!
