Nostrum
6-2-15


Go and proclaim
Know his Word and name
Take it slow and play the game
Don't try to force it
Still in love with madness
And its core delusion
Where Crazy is a good thing with sadness
Return, O backsliders
That float from mountains on hand gliders
Need that morning fix
Four, five, six
According to my mixology
I try two flavors together
And simply talk about the weather
Starting with a fresh batch
Another nostrum
A secret quack remedy
But all will be well
Go and proclaim...








Oldmixen
6-2-15


Looking for Oldmixen
To befriend my seductive vixen coxcomb
Conceited and shamefully entreated
For opiates and sedatives
At the chime of five
The path so leads to all the darkness in the north
And I am ready today to bring my true self forth
Given pastors to feed us with knowledge and understanding
No longer uncouth
and now that I've turned forty-two
I know not if I can say to be beyond my youth
For opiate and her synthetic derivatives
Beauty is overrated
In that I love you
Just the way that you are...








Arras
6-2-15


Hanging another arras
Meeting up with my Taurus
Where labile emotions in rings want to spar us
Nauseated and squeamish
I write to the heart of matters
O, beautiful cacophony
O, purple haze
O, madness
I come to listen to your song again
Making happy another virgin pen
Given this meaning
My basic essentials
I'm ready to go with no extra added needed credentials
I don't need to know
Hanging another arras of Flemish origin
With morning dew on my big toe....










Hartshorn
6-2-15


For the antler and the hart's horn
As an ox treading out of the corn
O, bless God the day when I was born
Used as a source of ammonia in smelling salts
To be amazed where oneself the randy yet exalts
Home and dry
I was happy to be last night
After being drenched in a storm passing over
With my ecomium and tribute
I say to my hero
O, backsliding Israel
Ye still are and shall come anew
Out of the land of the north
For our goodly heritage
Of the host of mansions...








Return
6-2-15


Many waters cannot quench love
The bride speaks to Solomon from within and above
To hear the sound of light
And take the challenge
To live on earth with happiness and strife
Baby's waiting there for you
Like his treasure, O listen to this water
And give the sound of life for Penelope
For Danaans For Asreris
And the aster composite for you and I
For everyone there will come an answer
A voice is heard upon high
Places with weeping and supplications
Of the children
O, return ye backsliding
You can always get back in there...








Return (Part 2)
6-2-15


For thralldom in my captivity
In bondage according to ones nativity
Come servitude
We can talk about it and come and reason
Where the world's beauty is in season
To waylay, to lie in wait
With so much more to say
And no more to hate
For whitecaps by the crest and foam
A beachcomber as one whom scavenges
For the wayfinder and her summoner
We are called together to convene
We are perfect just the way that we are
As a slave and serf
And no need to claim our turf
Return...
