AshTO THE ASH CAT
(Defender of the Family Estate)

Dear Ashy with his paw so swift
To pull aside the window blind or snatch at flies
To hook peculiar tidbits from the bin
And pound upon a startled mouse with mighty claws

Our guardian, watch-cat, sentinel at all ports
His eye is stern as he patrols the house
Trespassing insects are punished by fangs and paw
Whilst eatables are vacuumed from the floor

All chairs are claimed and taken for his own
His fluff is groomed, His Highness falls asleep
But whether rolled into a ball or tucked with paws on eyes
Or lying on his back with legs splayed, paws akimbo

His eyes are ever ready to snap o

Santa ClausSatanic laughter thunders down
And I am not alone
I'm in a house with an active mouse
And a disconnected phone

Where are the cats who have battled rats
And eviscerated birds?
The bathroom's filling up with flies
The walls are red with words

A thudding on the roof declares
The fat man's come to play
His giggles echo through the house
I wish he'd go away

A feral clown with pointed teeth
A werewolf howls outside
I hear a gremlin in the clock
It's turned back time and tide

O how that mad clown tumbles round
His mouth a vicious leer
His pants pulled down around his boots
His knives fill me with fear

And now I hear the fat man s

SpiralThe soul's expanding flight
Exuding light
Darkness cradles comfort trust
Earthly crust of lust and dusk
Seeding green and fertile swarm
Sun is cold and night is warm
Take me flying to the stars
Melting through the lord's sweet bars
Rejoice, hold hands your time is near
Change is on me, storm of fear
Keeps me lying in my head
Beauty Beast upon the bed
Angels demons of the night
Soaring glorious in flight
Feline women penned in cages
Claw the dirt in sullen rages
Witch in castle fever few
Look in love at stars in blue
Rip the baby from the womb
Wild roses climb upon the tomb
Blue light pouring cleanse and scour

About A FriendThey lined up in their starched white bands
And tore my life-line from my hands
Snatched my innate ability
Conspired against my frailty

For I am a survivor who
Was brought up in a pirate crew
Who tortured me most horribly
Plundered my inner sanctuary

Harsh memories they disturb me
Destroy my equanimity
And so to over-ride the pain
I hurt myself to thwart the brain

Remembering those awful times
That come out now in random rhymes
A scent, a song, a piece of cloth,
Can change me into fragile moth

I cut so deep the blood did flow
From forearms to the floor below
I carved the runes deep in my flesh
And sliced through where the s

Strange and beautiful flowers can grow
To swell the crystal chest
Of accessible wonders
And hidden, timeless treasures.

well, i read some of the comments and i definitely agree with "umericanpiece"...

beautiful work...

btw. we have a new thing here in germany, in many towns and cities... on the market place, somewhere in a corner is a locker(?) full of books... most of them a bit older... you can take them out and take them home... if you want to, you can bring them back, or keep them...
so, everyone who has old books and doesn't know where to put them can put them in there for public use... i love this, it's pretty cool, found many decent books already...

what i wanted to tell you - i took one book from there because the title made me curious - nagasaki!
i started to read - it was written by a scientist, i think a mathematician, who outlived the nuclear attack in nagasaki, but was severely injured and wrote about the situation, in general and personal - i tell you, i'm no sissy, but after several pages i got so sick i had to put the book away...
and almost scary is that incredible humbleness that some japanese have - incredible and impressive - and that makes the horror of what had happened there visible to an almost unbearable extend...

*darkallegiance666 Jan 19, 2013

That's a fabulous idea about the book lockers!! More countries should adopt this idea. I've just gone through my bookcases and I have a lot of books to get rid of. I'm thinking of leaving them in the YMCA book bin - the YMCA have a secondhand book sale every Easter here, where you can buy all sorts of books very cheaply.

The attack at Nagasaki was horrible. It wasn't necessary - according to what I've read - & they only chose to drop the bomb there & not in Kyoto because one of them had been to Kyoto and seen the cherry blossoms there. I believe that the Japanese have been misrepresented by Australia - at least - in the past, and made to look like monsters, when they just had a different code of honor & behavior. I love the way that the Japanese mix ancient art, traditions & ornaments with state of the art technological stuff. It all blends in such a beautiful way.

oh, you seem to be one of the few people i've met, who knows a bit about these nuclear attacks by the americans... i have also read that they originally wanted to destroy kyoto... plus in the same context i read, that the japanes had already capituleted some days before, but the americans didn't make that public because they defintely wanted to "test" the nuclear bombs - they had two different types, so they bombed two cities - absolutely disgusting...
perhaps you then also know this brilliant movie by kurosawa "rhapsody in august" (literally translated from german, i don't know the official english title)?
it's about nagasaki and it's a very peaceful and heartwarming film - i found it quite strange that this movie has been forbidden to show in america - this leaves me puzzled and almost disgusted again...

i don't know too much about the japanese, and i'm not a special fan, but i surely like some things about them...

yes, this booklocker thing is super - the other day when i was looking for books there, i happened to meet the woman who has initialized it in our neighbourtown... she told me she actually had to fight for it - the politicians didn't want it, because the locker itself is quite expensive... but then she told them, that other towns and cities have that already.... aaaah, they didn't want to look inferior to other towns, so..... haha, sometimes they are like children...

*darkallegiance666 Jan 24, 2013

Yes, politicians are very short-sighted & usually corrupt. It's typical that they would only let the lady instal the booklocker if she made them think that other towns were ahead of them.

I watched a made-for-television mini-series/movie with American actor Brian Dennehy in it, about the bombing in WW2. In it, it said that the Japanese had capitulated, and that the bombing was unnecessary, but the Americans wanted to try out their new bomb, so they went ahead anyway. Way to go!!!! That's where I heard that they didn't choose Kyoto because of the cherry blossoms.

For instances of absolutely ludicrous censoring, just try looking at some reasons why some episodes of "Pokemon" - a Japanese anime series for children - were banned or censored, and the changes that the creators had to make to certain Pokemon creatures to get them past the censorship board. It's a real eye-opener, and it's so silly in it's pettiness!!!

Yes, I'm not a great fan of the Japanese or know all that much about them, but I have read a fair bit about WW2 & the Vietnam war. I could never really get interested in WW1, or the recent wars.
