Rabbit Holes and a Tea Party for Old Nick

Take your shoes off before diving into the mud;
and make sure your socks are made of nylon

Rabbit Holes and a Tea Party for Old Nick

Sing those hosannas and halleluiahs to the Lord when you lie and cheat;
for hypocrites are the pillars of the community

Rabbit Holes and a Tea Party for Old Nick

Puff away on the magic pipe and juice up the veins with dream candy;
the Jack of Spades carjacks the King of Hearts and fondles his Queen

Rabbit Holes and a Tea Party for Old Nick

A blow to the head and a little duct tape on the mouth;
why pay for it when you can get it free

Rabbit Holes and a Tea Party for Old Nick

“Off with their heads” shouted the holocaust deniers and jihad criers;
as 100,000 Virgins swallowed the keys to their chastity belts

Rabbit Holes and a Tea Party for Old Nick

The rabbit jumps back into his hole and is eaten by the Fox
Old Nick’s Tea Party was a wild success

(psalm 999 from the roachcerian scriptures)




The Ice slowly melts and evaporates within the wailing winds-It cracks and moans above and below Me – the deep and comforting cold no longer numbs and sooths My festering wounds - into the ice I sink no more and begin to rise up from the depths of My healing tomb- the day of judgment will soon be at hand and My Wrath against those who have gnawed upon My Bones will be merciless…

The Great Monk used his considerable willpower and strength of mind to break away and disconnect himself from the dream thrall before it overtook him completely. Lately, he had been finding it was becoming more spiritually and mentally draining, as well as physically painful, to return- with his identity intact- to the waking world of his reality. The Dark Lords Dream Thoughts and the landscape of His Self-Imposed prison were becoming as real and vivid to him as his own. He knew his time as Santo Nicola, was drawing to a close; as it was only a matter of time before his True Identity would manifest itself and consume the false one -He- made to protect the true Nature of what he truly was. The Great Monk found himself back in his meditation chamber soaked in his own blood and sweat and aching from head to toe but was relieved to find that his humanity was still intact. Before the inevitable happened, he needed time to fulfill his destiny and set things on the natural path by locating the Greenfire Tapestry; as only one soaked in humanity and blessed with the veil of ignorance can do…


Fire
hell’s bane God’s flame
brimstone ashes and dust
burnt corpses dead grins and tainted
Smoke

Hailstones
dragons breath; death
sickly winds frozen sin
the mighty beast lies trapped within
The Ice

But It lives and…

It Sings
of ghastly things
to the beat of its horrid wings

It Weeps
and never sleeps
as blood and scum drips off its fiendish cheeks

On traitors bones
that rotted meat
does it eat and eat and eat

(from the book of Legends, Lies and Myths about Hell and the Morningstar)

Well, Bob, you did it again, what can I say, except to say that it is good to see you awake and your work posted again. Pretty gruesome this one, particularly that last poem, yuck, but oh, such good dark reading;-)

Apocalyptic Snapshots
When I read your poems, I think to myself, "these would go great with illustrations." I have a low gore tolerance so I don't know that I would be able to stomach them but it's just an idea.

You have a way with words that evoke a sense of dread in the reader. This reader, anyway. You list two source books: Are they yours?

I'm slowly get back to the tapestry world. That last poem was from my cycle series --the nine levels of hell- It was writing those poems that inspired me to write a more broader view on the nature of God=-thus the tangled tapestry- You were the one who loved my cycle poems and gave me the confidence to write something other than poetry so in a sense you are the Godmother to the tangled tapestry...

desvelado

It's my hope one day to illustrate these works. Those source books are all a part of my working novel "The Tangled Tapestry."I break the book into various parts. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. It gives me a smile to cause dread in a reader:)

my warmest
bob
