the legend off jack doe

second i was born reformed
beliefs just thought i was deaf punk 
as my songs got more outta tune 
judges thought i was in a down beat funk 
geez bees  
i was a screaming acid metal junk 

well im just your suicide jumper busker 
on the departure platform i drop my hat 
you'd only hear off me if i became a husker 
to tune into this station 
well the world ain't flat  
no it sure can't be said
that the astronaughts world is flat 

i fretted over the sleepers i laid 
left behind me some fresh bending blue tracks
rum amped the bad ass deeds i delayed
as i went on a sustained attack 
all day long licking snow off the lines
geez bees  
backmasking hypno crossroad neon signs 

well im just your suicide jumper busker 
on the departure platform i drop my hat 
you'd only hear off me if i became a husker 
to tune into this station 
well the world ain't flat  
no it sure can't be said
that the astronaughts world is flat 

i won't leave any one hit wonders behind 
no band-aids could ever staunch my minds tempo 
as mayflies dance on the crescendo aligned 
they screamed out my last stage name 
JACK DOE
JACK DOE
i layed down a ghost track critics could reject 
geez bees 
that i never never used any special effects 

well im just your suicide jumper busker 
on the departure platform i drop my hat 
you'd only hear off me if i became a husker 
sow tune into this station 
cause the world ain't flat  
no it sure can't be said
that the astronaughts world is flat

a capitulating Haiku

life keeps on twisting
a breeze hangs from a tree branch
such a short short breath

©bg 2018 

the drowning pool

the lighthouse doesn’t exists in the emptiness
so the jagged tooth rocks can’t be seen
beneath the current sticky bloodied darkness
where the voids poison eats away one’s ship’s spleen

one’s lungs are full of the voids foul gas
a buoyant heart no longer keeps one’s ship afloat
cause breathing has corroded away one’s mass
while the perps preached scriptures as the antidote

one takes a short drop into the black hole
of the drowning pool

drifting through the void all you hear is a hum
drifting through the void a veins about to burst
drifting through the void all one feels is numb
drifting through the void
all one feels is a scream echoing the first

morbid Angels breaths fatten ones blacken sails
cannibal corpses feast on one’s ships salted bane
screams behind the shadows guided the forged nails
the land of no return lost under twelve days of rain

a storm of unstoppable burning flaming acid rain
eats the bedeviled flesh of ones fatten sails away
ones ship is rudderless for it’s the scythe parting one’s vein
bleeding one into the bloodied darkness to escape
ones decay

one takes a short drop into the black hole
of the drowning pool

drifting through the void all you hear is a hum
drifting through the void a vein about to burst
drifting through the void all one feels is numb
drifting through the void
all one feels is a scream echoing the first

smokey tendrils coil from ones dried rolled paper-thin tongue
ones resin memories are ground into fuel for the beast
dragged down into the cancerous bloating of the voids lung
ones residue absorbed to block the light from uncovering the feast

the suspended one has a vivid dream of the immortal dead rising
while black dogs tear the reflective moons breasts to bloody pieces
the craters of the moon are filled with grief from
one’s own eyes uprising
while the black dogs devouring feral reflective hunger
never ceases

one takes a short drop into the black hole
of the drowning pool

drifting through the void all you hear is a hum
drifting through the void a vein about to burst
drifting through the void all one feels is numb
drifting through the void
all one feels is a scream echoing the first

a throwback haiku

a snagged sprat landed
life must evolve dear mother 
to times fishy end

life just gives you pity sex

i say if it ain’t happen to you yet 
it’s gonna happen to you very soon 
you’ll wake up &your life will be long gone 
and that’ll be the end of the honeymoon 

yeah ’cause life just gives you pity sex
now ain’t that the truth 
i said life just gives you pity sex 
before leaving you 

well it don’t matter if your living rich 
but it might be quicker if you’re poor 
it don’t matter if you’re good looking 
or your face looks better behind a door 

yeah ’cause life just gives you pity sex 
now ain’t that the truth 
i  said life just gives you pity sex 
before leaving you 

your life’s got a devil  of a lawyer 
and they’ll be leaving you in a deep hole 
yeah your life’s gonna take everything 
including your truly taxing lost soul 

yeah ’cause life just gives you pity sex 
now ain’t that the truth 
i said life just gives you pity sex 
before leaving you 

you’ll  try playing the immortality clause 
but there ain’t no forgiveness in life 
you won’t be  getting no encore  applause 
no matter your deeds or righteous strife 

yeah ’cause life just gives you pity sex 
now ain’t that the truth 
i said life just gives you pity sex 
before leaving you

Treading water

He exists
on a lost island
A beardless
clueless hermit
stewing away
in a hippy
cauldron

on this inhabited
adrift island
He is their guru
The king rat
The ark sinker

Deep
Inside the kings
Grotto
Red wine flows
Through urinal
Tracks
Pot luck
Last suppers
Are Crushed
By false teeth
Karaoke
Poetry
Its Life read
Slowly
Then
Methodically
Crucified

i do not attend
i walk on puddles
past the cave
past the stalking
hearse
up on ice bricks
motor running
for a quick
breakdown

i am not
neighborly
i meditate
at my bus shelter
as the funeral
possession
passes over

his apostles
implore me
to perform
one final
exorcism
one final
roll
of the rune stone
To release
Their redeemer
before i return
to the mainland
but the tide
tis on the turn
this netting
sunset

i cannot walk
on sand grains

miracles
cannot wait
an encore

You

it was cruelness
to have me fall in love with
you

i was broken
but i fell together for
you

i learnt to breath
my hand resting on the belly of
you

i filled my mind
till all my hearts beats were for
you

i was stupid
i believed the love word from
you

i became blind
from lies your eyes covered for
you

i was hungry
i ate red poisoned kisses from
you

i became sick
i vomited in fear of losing
you

i woke a waif
the reality of dreaming with
you

i am sad now
because eternity knows i love
you

it is cruelness
to fall forever in love with
you

Windows

Should I see
through windows
Abstact art
A lone
Mouldy sun
Panoramic pictures
Under the flames shade

Climate change
Corrupted
Cold modern day
cavepersons
Struggling with survival
Superstitious darkness evolved
God’s flayed
Their bodies converted
To nut houses

Delusions ascending
skyrocketing
Towards Armageddon clouds
Exploding
Third world style
Drizzling
Narcissistic entrails
Over star gazing lovers
Picnicking in yonder lands

Should I see
Into the windows
Of your soul
A bloody abattoir
Unable to satiate
A golden parasitoid
God’s wrath
Consuming
Your Id

Solitude Confinement (my epitaph)

i entombed myself
so no one
can see
me decomposing
as trashcan poetry
