Madrigal Of The Inner Eye

Madrigal of the inner eye
Shining through with abundance
Farcical shuddering of youth
Infected with dubious exile

Letting go of radiant thoughts
The devil facing a starlit plain
Renegade machines cutting boldly
Separating the wheat from the chaff

Automatic starry delusion
Precipitating nocturnal adventures
Draping ourselves in mad illusion
Killing the inner sun

Faces awash in lavender and crimson
Beckoning us to destroy all inhibition
Merciless attack of urban lice
Destroying all that shines

Diamond studded miscreants sulking
Stalkers of the inner mind
Following impulses downward
Meting out what must be

Accidents waiting to happen
Searching for a way out
The cold essence of warfare
Crashing around our naive ears

Justice has been blinded
The city marches in time
Smoke rising from the streets
Oedipus decapitated

Crying blood from our tear ducts
Murder in the streets
Walk with caution and presence
Forbid death driving down the door

Insatiable curiousity
Kneeling at the altar of blasphemy
Odious knowledge seeping blood stained
Contradicting natural instinct

The battle cry of revolution
Apathy executed by firing squad
Loneliness sentenced to the gas chamber
Anger eventually appeased

Falling down hard on my knees
Closely inspecting the asphalt
Ripping up my skin
This is my Easter Sunday

Resurrection of the twilight idols
Cigarette smoking charismatics
Looking for a rich kid thrill
Wandering the blackest night

Annihilation of shyness
Awkwardness convicted of petty theft
Insurmountable excitement
Hearts pounding in their chests

Molotov cocktails embracing daisies
Emerald green absinthe soaked hell
Playing without a full deck
Monopolizing the theft of time and peace

Figure skaters open a brothel
Friendship requires a contract
Miscellaneous ambidextrous madness
Stab my colon with spicy excess

Purgatory at a discount
Souls for sale cheap
Coupons for a mental institution
Raving zombies on parade

Going to a rock concert with a mugger
Uterine lining as an opening act
Facing the most boring epiphanies
Tabby cats ruling the world

Serial killers playing backgammon
Judas Iscariot dealing blackjack
Speed freaks serving prime rib
Gunsmiths eating shoe leather

Musical chairs open a pizza parlor
Beer is up for sainthood
Vodka replaces Santa Claus
Nose fetishists at the racetrack

Middle management monotheistically medicated
Charles Darwin on a cheap date
Palm trees playing parsimonious pinnacle
Savage reprisal for unwanted thoughts

Acrimonious social workers
Living on noodles and dreams
Finding money in your shoe
Pedicure salon kicked by an ostrich

Biker gang joins a convent
Sophocles arrested for molesting the Sphinx
Pollock working at a paint store
California renounces statehood

Follow me down a dusty dirt road
Dust off my boots with eyelashes
Living under a freeway overpass
Realizing you are free

Temptation to drink battery acid
The last of the hemp shirted cowboys
Anthropomorphize strawberries
Fall down a manhole

Everything fades to black
Start chewing on my lips
Turn off the T.V.
Wash away the dirt
