Final Performance
Stripped of clothes and worldly goods
As the raven stands on watch
Shaved and washed and sterilized
A cloth place over my crotch
My limbs bent, flexed, and body massaged
I am prepared for my special day
My eyecups in placed and mouth sewn shut
My features are set in this way
Through the right common carotid artery enters my fate
The icy [...]
6:15
Home from the party I go to my room
There she stands in a beautiful gown
I come out of the shower, she is there again
Dancing all around
My parents are there, cheering me on
Which is odd because they are dead
She quickly undresses and continues to dance
Suddenly we are lying in bed
She sits by my feet and tightens [...]
The Hypocrisy
The father
Hears confession of sin
Offers body and blood of Christ
He resigns to his study
Writes a sermon
Condemning the evils
Evils of the flesh
Evils of the heart
Evils of the mind of the body
A knock on the door
An altar boy for his lesson
Trusting he kneels
Receives his unholy sacrament
Takes the body of man
Shattered trust
Faith no more
~Arnold Bailey
Meaning of Life
We look for it in our parents
Their guiding light of wisdom cutting the darkness of the unknown
We look for it in our peers
Their ideas, their insight, their support reaching out lifting us up
We look for it in books
Ancient words of discoveries past, tools that inspire and mold
We look for it within ourselves
Reflecting on [...]
We are One and so are We
Gently I lay her upon the bed
We remove our clothing then hers
I stroke her body
No words are said
She will be our first
My fingers glide across her silken skin
Her face her hips her thighs
She is ready
to let us in
We stare into her eyes
I kiss her subtle lips so red
Sweet release [...]
IT
IT attacked and raped a child
We put IT in a cage
Death shouts one Life shouts the other
But who is to really say
The laws are made to protect us
So long as us are them
The laws are made to punish
But it is innocents we condemn
We release the animal
IT starts life anew
The child’s punishment is for life
But what [...]
Eternal ME
I have been a king, a soldier, a killer of men and dreams.
I have been a spear, piercing the heart of life, the blood of all things
I have been a drop of water a tear an ocean
I have been a bird, a dinosaur; a bone nestled deep in the bosom of mother earth
I have [...]
The Party
The door opens wide
The welcome mat lain out
Inviting everyone in.
Love abounds fresh and new
All are met as friends.
In walks Hope and Wonderment
Mrs. Trust and Mr. Care.
The Cherishes have joined the fun
And Compassion is just over there.
Romance came waltzing across the floor
And Jealousy wasn’t far behind
Bringing with him Mr. Lust and Greed
But I didn’t see [...]
