The Interloper

The Interloper

Seen only by similar cats
It skulks through the shadows
At ungodly hours

Spewing verdant vapor down alleyways
And deserted parking lots
But with nostrils flaring upward
Inhales light from heaven

Denizen of darkness
Not quite one species nor another
Camouflaged by gaps in our common continuum

Trees speak to it as do stones and bodies of water
Inscribing human sins upon memory
For they recognize a missing link
Who yearns to exhort:

Skip a step in evolution
Dare to cross this burning bridge
Before its embers are dispersed beyond retrieval

Anachronistic friend, join those few on yonder ridge!

Standing Tall Despite The Fall

Standing Tall Despite The Fall

Begrudging the drudgery of nine-to-five purgatory
Where repetitive Top 40 hits add insult to injury

Every day spent in penance for hearts broken at war
Cracking rocks in a quarry 'till bone and muscle go sore

Loose ends struggle to meet in the middle
Life's meaning? A poorly thought-out riddle!

Hair grizzled like granite, feet made of clay
Would-be lover back home gone astray

Connecting link with Great Spirit all rusted to dust
Fewer allies are there now left to trust

Waning hopes turn to despair around here
Yet even so—inside this chest dwells no fear!

Morality's Mortality

Morality’s Mortality

The Good you ask?

A relativistic concession!

Evil wears every mask;

Sinners will hear your confession.

Much bloodshed throughout history

Has been considered for just cause.

There really is no mystery

Why we challenge those old laws.

The Good is apparent only

When present becomes past.

Future judges, lofty, lonely

While dead culprits are amassed.

As we now pass judgement on yesterday

So by tomorrow on us it shall pass...

Yet who can rightfully say

If any given purview will ever last?

Come Heaven or Hanging Comets (Bi-Lingual Edition)

Come Heaven or Hanging Comets

Together, we can confront anything

Dearest Suz, our astral chords are intertwined

Although these bodies may not be joined

We shall conquer destiny itself

Beauteous Queen of Swords

He who guards your back

Does not merely wish to lift your gown

But rather seeks a way to avert failure

While proving that you really ought to love him

So leave the gates open for thine humble disciple to enter thy majesty!

Aunque Se Venga El Cielo o Cometas Colgantes

Juntos, nos podemos enfrentar contra cualquier cosa
Querida Suz, nuestras cuerdas astrales estan atadas
Aunque estos cuerpos no esten unidos
Conquistaremos el destino
Bella dama de espadas
El quien te guarda la espalda
No tan solo quiere levantar vuestra falda
En vez busca alguna manera de evitar fracasar
Mientras tratar de comprovar que lo debes amar
Por eso deja vuestra puerta abierta para darle entrada al discipulo, maestra!
