AIR
Dawgs Life
He chewed the end of his cigar
And rotated ice in his whiskey glass
Tail just a waggin'
To the beat of that dawg
Up there tearing up the keys
They approached him
Said they needed to talk in the alley
He didn't sense any danger
So he said, "Alrighty, sure, why not?"
They headed out that way
When they got there
Those dawgs got straight to business
"Wanna buy two pounds
Of some Afghani-smack?"
His tailed started wagging real fast
"Make it three"
Brown parcel and money exchanged
They shot him a little sample
He strolled back into the cozy candle-lit room
A bird was now on sax
He was happier now
Then he had ever been in the past
A hustler who knew how to have fun too
"You scratch my belly
I'll scratch yours"
Was always his mentality
No gangsters messed with him
Too cool to be taken out
Even the police felt that way
He struts around with sunglasses on
All day and all night
"What it is Snoopy"
He'll say to his random friend
"Let's all give a round of applause
To my dawg snoop dawg"
Cigarette smoke clouds the room
Music kicked up a notch
Deranged howls from the crowd
This dawg was gonna turn this mutha' out
He makes his way to the back room
Where the musicians stay
Tied up their arms
And let all their cares float away
If only for a moment
The dawgs life can sometimes
Reduce a dawg to nothing
Adversity
Their not sure how to handle
Mercy, mercy, mercy
On their dawg souls
For one day they will be lions anyway
Sea of Nothing
A silent hymn of praise
I sing to darkness everyday
Nothing came from nothing
And nothing will go back to nothing
Language is a sea
It will take you wherever you want to go
Whatever you want to see
But the captain abandoned ship
Long ago
All that is left
Is you and the horizon
Drop your anchor
At anytime
Any day
Past, present, future
It's all in your mind
Just say the word
And there you will be
Atlantis is far beneath
The ocean blue
But with a single thought
You could be too
Thoughts are but a bubble in your mind
Enter the bubble
And be transported through time
Or pop the bubble
And calm the mind
A silent hymn of praise
I sing to darkness everyday
Nothing came from nothing
And nothing will go back to nothing
Primus Nu
All sorrows are but shadows
That will surely dissipate
What remains
Is not of Light
Nor of Night
But that which is given unto Man
Shall be for Him to choose
But what is taken from Him?
For nothing is to lose
All sorrows are but shades
Hero's are born to Die
Unless they martyr for Death's reign
Than to Live
Is the same
To them as to Die
When the King has been given his Crown
No where on Earth
Will He be found
Experiencing sex within a suit
The fire will burn
Leaving only Soot
Nuit's traverse
Let's chaos loose
All sorrows are but Night
Bringing forth The Holy Light
Out of Darkness came The Truth
That All Things
Are Ever New
Symbols
Send me a bowl filled with both
Water and fire
Their very way
Of overcoming
The other
Is to breathe
Thanks to air
When you send me a bowl
Filled with opposites
Suddenly
There is nothing
Nothing left
But the breath
Send me a bowl
And the ramifications
Will be infinite in proportions
Fire will become water
Water will become fire
By the time the meaning
Has taken its time to transpire
There will be nothing left to see
But luckily
Air isn't just nothing to me
Send me a bowl
And I will show you
The symbol
Of meaningless meaning
You may look and see nothing
But air is not made for our eyes to see
Its purpose is to breathe
To be as free as the wind
Send me a bowl
And the magic I will concoct
Will let you see
That there is nothing to see
My Queen is a Reptile
Slithering behind the scenes
Resting on the wings
Of abstract dreams
My queen holds out her hidden hand
And gestures towards me
I can see freedom in her slitted eyes
A primordial reflection
Of the land before time
The Dark Lands
Not an actual tangible place
But a state of mind
It's what you've always known
Yet you forget every single morning
When you open your eyes
You are the direct reflection of your day
A day built upon lies
Lies aren't necessarily bad
But a lie is a lie
Come home at the end of the day
Go ahead and give all your lies to your bed
Take off your disguise
Close your eyes
Venture into The Dark Land
The land before time
A primordial reflection
Of all that is
All that will ever be
That is where you will catch her slithering
Where there is no where to go
Where there is nothing to see
Driving down the astral highway
In my cosmic car
Just about to pass Saturn
When I see a hitch hiker
She walked with a limp
And from one look at her eyes
I could tell she was a familiar stranger
"What is goin' on gurl?"
I say to the beautiful lady entering the door
She gently caresses my arm
Glides her head over as if to give me
A kiss on the neck
I give a little moan
And then she gives me a little bite
Two holes in my neck begin spewing blood
Instinctively I jump out of the car
Drifting off into the void
Blood shooting from my neck
Floating down into the triple darkness of space
I realize it is actually nothing but a womb
Like a shooting star I came into life
Not in a hospital bed
But in a castle made of gold
Birthed directly on the dinning room table
The hitch hiker I picked up in my last life
Is now sitting at the very head
With a fork and knife in hand
Licking her mouth with her slitted tounge
My little baby life hasn't even begun
Isn't it just such a pity
To be born
Just to be eaten
By our reptilian queen
Once a Toad, Always a Toad
The cloak was a little tight
But he felt alright
A fresh meal he just scored
For free too
He was on duty protecting the toad kingdom
Some human boy randomly appeared
In front of the gate
Looking wide eyed and confused
The boy didn't know the password to get in
So our toady friend Bragi preceded to eat him
Proper procedure is to send
Unwanted, confused guest
Back from which they came
But today Bragi was hungry
And human is an exotic meal for this land
"No one will find out about this
It'll be our little secret"
He said to the boy digesting in his belly
For the next two hours he just rubbed his food baby
And thought about his lily pad and Susana
Every so often he'd get really excited
Then swell up like a balloon
And let out a long croak
Soon it was time for him to clock out
High five the warty gentlemen relieving him
Hanging the cloak up for the day
He had the next three days off
Waddling away
He felt everything was more than okay
Little did he know
Some human spirits were on their way
To pay him a visit
They caught him just as he was about to reach home
"Hello Mr. Bragi"
Said the spirits
Tapping him on the shoulder
And revealing themselves before his eyes
"Buddy why don't you just leave me al...."
He turned around
And knew right away
Spirits of humanity were seeking justice
For a debt he had to pay
They came all in one body
Of which was composed of part owl, snake and cow
A hideously beautiful creature
That made this toads skin all crawly
"Bragi"
They spoke in unison
"Every action has a reaction
You have acted
So it is time for reaction"
Bragi was a level six wizard
A master in the toad kingdom
As the spirits were talking
He was drawing a sigil in the dirt
With his magic wand
But the spirits saw this fool doing this
And smacked his wand away
Then smacked him in his slimy face
"Listen here toad scum your options are limited
We suggest you choose wisely"
His toady fingers dancing away
Trying anything to throw out a magic hand sign
But all in vain
"Well whats my options?"
The spirits transformed into a glowing violet orb
And engulfed him
Took him to the most depressing dimension
Of all time
Just a giant glass pyramid room
With nothing inside but vast space
And just a tiny, almost microscopic hole
At the very top
All you could see outside was sand
One particle at a time the sand fell through the hole
"Okay option one is to stay here
Till all the sand finally drops in and kills you"
"Alright well what is option two?"
"Become human"
He shuddered
Was obviously visibly shaken
"How long will it take for the sand to fall in?"
"We're not sure how to say the number
It is too long"
It was all happening so fast
One minute he was ten steps away from Susana
The next he is locked into paying debts to spirits
"Please just kill me"
The spirits were now just floating eyes and grins
Laughing and bouncing around the room
"No toad scum
Choose now or we shall choose for you"
He sighed
"I'll try out humanity"
They let out demonic cackles
"As you wish toad boy"
Suddenly the hole at the top of the room
Opened all the way
All the sand was flowing in like a tidal wave
Awaking and jumping almost ten feet out of bed
The boy arose
Standing instantly on his toes
Sweat pouring from every pore
A big bag of mushrooms on the floor
Amnesia was his best friend
For he would not want to know where he had been
All he knew
Was that in some odd way
He felt somewhat toady today
That Magic Night
She gave me the sign
I began to wave
There were many things we both had to say
But they were too abstract to relay
So we decided to talk in mental images
It was always a surprise
We didn't even know what we were gonna say
We did the little ritualistic dance
With the candles and incense burning
Soon we were in that old familiar place
There it smells the way you think
That purple would taste
If you know what I mean
A very quiet place
The communion of two souls
Staring collectively at our very own minds combined
Just watching
Quietly observing
From almost infinity away a cube was approaching
Had the face of a horribly ugly man
Almost demonic looking
It was crying heavily
We knew why
There was nothing to buy in the void of our mind
And we guess he left his wallet at home
We suggested he go ahead
And try creating something
What else is there to do in an empty void?
He looked stunned
Shocked
Like he was seeing something we weren't
Then his eyes rolled back in his cubicle head
He whispered
"I was never even here"
Then the cube imploded
The shock waves were heading our way
When it reached us it sent us through a tiny tunnel
Pastel rainbows of the softest light
Shining each and every way
We realized we were in a cave
Made of holy stained glass windows
With heavenly iridescence
Pearls of light giving birth to night
Then murdering night with a big hunting knife
Drinking its blood with a bendy straw
Laughing at us because we thought light
Was an alright guy
Little did we know
He was a psychopath this whole time
Night approached us from the back
Ha ha!
We knew he could never die
"Now that you've been down the tunnel of day
Why don't you ride the tunnel of night?"
"Wow he's actually a nice guy"
Was the first thought to enter our minds
"Come children I'll show you the way"
Grabbed our hands and we went on in
What we experienced is beyond words
Beyond sound
Beyond emotions
A primordial soup that we all drink from
Unconsciously everyday
So close
Yet so far away
Father night tipped his diamond crusted hat
And gave us a smile full of golden teeth
All we can really say
Is that we now have peace
At the end of the day
We know it is all going to be okay
Wizard Time
A Wizard is never late
Nor is he early
He arrives
Precisely
When he means to
