I said hello to a young man I saw

At the bank of Transylvania

He is a blond young man

That is what I did

Since you've been gone

Doing what you do

When you are gone

 

The young man was soft spoken

And he seemed very gentle

I wonder if he would lie

The way you have lied

Or hide himself

The way you hide

I don't believe he would do

All that you have done

 

I dream that perhaps

I could feel feelings for him

The way I did for you

Do for him

All that I once did for you

Would he tell me he loves me

The way that you once did

With tears

And would he break my heart

Has you have done

 

I said hello a young man

 I dreamed of him

And wished he were you

You, as I remember you

The dark haired, green eyed youth

Sad, and brooding

Hopeful, and lovely

Oh where have I chased you to

Away from me

In my miserable solitude

Deep in screaming loneliness

My friends are all dead

 

I can not feel

My body yearns for endless sleep

And quiet dreams of love I knew before

A love left battered and bleeding

Dead. Just like our love

That is no more

And will never be again

I said hello to a handsome young man

I made another smile

And another young man

I thought I saw blush

All of this

Since you have gone

To be where you must be

 

As if some unholy mystery

Abandoned, without a tomb stone

Knowledge of my name absent

-from memory

who shall ever think of me

Again? Gone, my world

Silent

Away for all eternity

I rest under tumble weeds

and flies

I will tell you how I fell in love

With the man who pissed off Jesus

The Son of Predition

Jesus can't forgive

Must have pissed him off pretty good

Because Jesus usaully don't hold a crudge like that

The Man who pissed off Jesus

Must have lost the number

Because the two haven't spoken in Ages

And even Jesus

Don't love him anymore

My good friend Death

We dine and laugh

About the awfulless of things

But if anyone has one to burn

He does

And so we sit in our gloom

Sitting smoking doom

Been mine since back in the day

And now he is here to stay

Nothing hurts me anymore

It is my season to be me

Losing all and having nothing

But everything there is

Is mine

And only Satan wins

My heart aches And it feels broken in pieces Such a fiery desire That went unspoken   The times I cry Only because I know you have others Better than I   I can not compete Against those You choose over me I loose every time   I would whisper to tell only you Kiss you, and lick only you Over and over, all over Until you were sure   Say farewell, then into the night Still, I wish we'd never part I miss your smell And yearn to be close again   I love your skin; white, it excites Your hair turns me on Hazel eye dark and sad Quiet soul, mingled with good and bad   But your feelings for me Are not what I had hoped for My insides are cornered Corralled and excellently roped   You do not want me, at all Not the way I want you You have chosen another, now There is nothing to do   If I could, I would show you all You would ever need to know I would do anything you want... All needs, I would fulfill   I would do anything, just say it What ever you want, I will do it hat is how I love And how much I dare, for you

Monster Serenade

  Dedicated To A Friend    

  

      Preface     

 This is a short poem for a person who I really don't know. But he is someone I think about a lot. And a man I care about a lot. There is more to it than this. Much more, I am sure, than I will ever really know. And so, it is okay to conclude that I never had a clue, and still fail to understand. Consequently, this poem is rife with sentiment. As such, how serious can we take all that it emotes? You can take it serious, though. Because my emotions are true. This poem is true too. -The Mog  

     Introduction  

     I am cemetery weary     Creating a crazy scenario     There is no god, there is not love     There is no looking back     I trade sanity, for all of that     It's been impossible to know     Where my soul is at...      

  Part 1  

 Imploring  

  How can I tell you Young man What you won't understand? But, in the evening rain I wish I could Teach you To feel as I do, And forget everything.   Is it possible To capture, and in a trance Tell you What is hard to say But, I smell poetry And gentle rage; Unsettled softness In your bottomless eyes.   I want to Tell you all. And more besides. To touch you; Unfold ourselves, in twilight Make you feel with me, Trusting in eternity Beyond death like smells.....      

Part 2  

On An Elevated Vantage Point    

 Looking out across a sea Of thorny trees; sprawled out magnificently Sparkling like an emerald This jungle forest lay Before him.... At first.... Behind you, now    So many mindless worlds    Left behind you,    A light over your shoulder To guide you.... To remind you....          Thinking of everything, You won't be surprised to find yourself Surprised, unknowingly innocent Everlasting beckons us always, forever Before.... You now; deserted Before you...     Just to remind you,     To prod you....     Electrocute you. So many endless screams Your victims haunt Cavern like escapes cascading An avalanche of spurting blood Before you lay A graveyard of dung On sunburned earth.     A place for sex And lies Pretext: Sits before you To remind you... Nothing inside you... Only emptiness. The hole The pit No one lives there, Only rotting stench....    

Part 3  

 Monkey On Me

    Break it all up, pry the corners up Go through every little thing A person ever owned, all they had But couldn't take.   Build up around this one Spitting, and drooling, self degrading Undertaking; lights waiting for me Buzzing, driving,fretting, until    I couldn't take it    I learned to hate it    I was so strung out, then;    I was so insane.   But no one sees you; but you Don't keep secret What you know. No one sees you Do, what you Don't want them to.   Can this be, or Does he wait? Inside of me; Astride of me, I saw you looking.... I was pleading, Because I want you For me, young man.    

Part 4  

La Dumpe'  

  Empty fields Run dry, like brittle bones forsaken blood and drunken voices; echoing across conscience, Guilt ridden game Played upon murderous shame.   Unpillowed, and naked Down back roads, trails polluted Trashed, watery gulch, tumbleweed patch A bridge, and a syphon to burn with garbage all around The discarded sounds can never relinquish their hold On your mental shoulder, your soul   I want to say the words, So you can hear me say, I want you so much. And can you feel me breathe Never leave, oh unrepentant One of nature's doings can you ever feel as I do? Buried beneath wormy sorrow, I entreat love, for Love's sake To live, to sigh By and by
