Those who think ‪#‎tags‬ are shallow
Should read some haiku:
Fragmented image in words.

Mortar and Pestle

Mortar and pestle
My Friday night ritual
I've been crushing on you for years

Dressed up in your latex suit
The red light gleaming off your boots
I'll see you again in Xanadu

The dead will rise
You'll see your mother's eyes
For the first time
Your lover knocks
Takes off your prison smock
Cleared of your crimes

Time is always relative
The extract filters through the sieve
I still feel your lips upon my face

Bitter as a poison leaf
More certain than true, just, belief
Darling, I'm floating your way

The dead will rise
You'll see your mother's eyes
For the first time
Your lover knocks
Takes off your prison smock
Cleared of your crimes

When I heard you singing late
Rope held in your hands
My summer sense migrated
To far crepuscular lands
Now I can hear that tune
Sounding in my dome
The more I taste of the red moon
The less I am alone

The dead will rise
You'll see your mother's eyes
For the first time
Your lover knocks
Takes off your prison smock
Cleared of your crimes
The dead will rise
You'll see your mother's eyes
For the first time
Your lover knocks
They've picked your mind's last lock
And you are sublime

Flow My Liquid God

I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Bound by an unseen thread
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Beneath the rains I'm fed
I'm fed, I'm fed
FLOW by churches
FLOW by worship
FLOW by conscience
FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW

I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Leave it a book unread
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Beneath the rains I'm fed
I'm fed, I'm fed
FLOW by churches
FLOW by worship
FLOW by conscience
FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW

I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Light flees my bandaged head
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Beneath the rains I'm fed
I'm fed, I'm fed
FLOW by churches
FLOW by worship
FLOW by conscience
FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW

Roll Forth You Stormy Tide


Roll Forth You Stormy Tide

Roll forth you stormy tide
And wash my mind
Clean the pollution
From my stinking life

How many pink pills
Must it take?
Before my rapid
Torrent reaches a lake

How many days off
Need I lose?
I'm working solely
For my rent and booze

The foamy waters rise
Above my sinking eyes
Soon I'll be diamond
Or vodka
Clear as oxygen
A stream rolls down the glen
Carrying my love
Whatever

Roll forth you stormy tide
And wash my mind
Clean the pollution
From my stinking life

How many friends will leave
Before it's done?
They all pack up and
Walk into the sun

How long will I reflect
On misery?
Till I accept the
Blessings of the sea

The foamy waters rise
Above my sinking eyes
Soon I'll be diamond
Or vodka
Clear as oxygen
A stream rolls down the glen
Carrying my love
Whatever

Roll forth you stormy tide
And wash my mind
Clean the pollution
From my stinking life

Four Bloody Hands

Four Bloody Hands

Let's become romantic
You can pet my nervous ticks
Let's salt each other's sores
Four bloody hands coated with gore

Let's become
Let's become
Let's become
Let's become

Let's become a coupling
Please think of me as a thing
Let's spike each other's drinks
Four bloody hands washed in one sink

Let's become
Let's become
Let's become
Let's become

How can you be so cynical
Don't you remember your past?
When the slightest touch of hers
Gave you a dopamine blast

How can you be so cynical
Don't you remember your life?
Before you shacked up with the bottle
Before you took on the knife

How can you be so cynical?
Well fuck you, that's how.
I did not choose chastity
I did not make a vow

21st Century Forest Titan

21st Century Forest Titan

Buried alive under the old forest
My limbs are tendrils curled round roots and stone
While above the pagans make their naked fest
I am the spirit of being alone.

Let fly horns bought at romantic supplies
The Celtic people dance round their fire
Nipples like gargoyles for the night flies
Will shun the existential void's mire

I hear the pumping of their feet as round
They leap and caper like faeries or dogs
I feel the fucking in my deepest sounds
And hear the oaths made in secluded bogs

I can taste the ecstasy in your piss
Rolling down my furrows into my streams
I am too old for these beings yet miss
The surreal passion that flows like dreams

There is a prophecy I will awake
But I do not believe in human rites
I will stay buried under these old woods
And under foot of these ecstatic nights.

Bloody Drips

Bloody Drips

There's something warm as bloody drips
When we are touching fingertips
And running through Dunedin ways
With burning neon for the day,
Where all about is whirling light
I think I've drunk enough tonight
To be my own self undilute
And tell you that you're more than cute
But that's just bloody drips and booze
'Cus being horny's never news
For all the chemicals we buzz
We're little more than monkey fuzz
And though this night is going well
I know I'll wake up in a smell
That makes me want to grimly boke
And so I'm glad we've never poked
For life is nauseous twisting mass
And we're reflections in a glass
Of moulding faces leaking spores
And that's why I won't taste your ichor.
