Book Cover & Preview Text
BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE SPIDERLAND
Crawl the first step to the keeper of the stars
And demolish a mother’s love
With your sweet and spiteful cry
Linger in the drama as you satisfy a shaking view
Then sweat the suede and wade into a Square Insect High
Hold consenting hands to find the untold truths
Under the tack-head dust of your black-star sacrifice
Cycle in the senses and seek a gliding bruise
Then trust the call and fall into a Square Insect High
Strap on your head for the spiral roll of life
Embrace your selfish needs in a slipstream state of mind
The blood and chocolate spiderland is painful and pretty inside
Sweet powdered alienation laced for the Square Insect High
Nail the hounds with attitude to the psychobabble wall
And perfect your chosen star by having it atomized
Stone the roasted child and house a horned tornado
Then sweat the suede and fade into a Square Insect High
Crawl the last step to the keeper of the stars
And blame a mother’s love
With your sweet and gurgled cry
Tortured moons all yearn to float in a Babylon waste
So take the call and fall into a Square Insect High
THE SOUL
The soul provides
The mind and the heart
With the innate ability
To recognize what love is
To understand how to love
To comprehend why we love
To distinguish who to love
To ascertain where love is
To sustain a life with love
But most of all the ability
To live a life without love.
DARK SIDE OF THE SUN
Summer mummers fed the lash of kings
They teased all John The Baptist types
And the thirsty every night
With their midnight dreams
From valium pucks with watershed goals
To shoe-shined listeners of titillation fuses
Criminal Eden’s anxiety
Is a reality rented from the lost forsaken scripts
Laid upon every hand carved casket
Laid within every homespun sermon
Power flowers met the corpse of matter
They sought the shaken and the peers
And the Salomes in tears
With their midnight specials
From far off peeks at petrified performances
To lofty explanations for heating frosty bruises
Criminal Eden’s anxiety
Is a reality coming down to trip our interest in hope.
