Unworthy is a poem about dungeon pillaging pure and simple, words related to volcano, search, succumb, games hark back to role playing games for me. 

volcano

Unworthy

Veteran of the volcano fires
submerge into depths of demons

In search of quartation stores
games to some known as foolhardy

Where life and death are the stakes
those who succumb to lavish hoards

Elation being their final mistake
dungeons do not reward the unworthy

-Poem by Justin Germino

guest postClearing Sky is a poem about the sun punching through a grey and bleary sky one weekend morning. 

The word that gave me the most trouble in this poem was acylation which virtually had no good way to tie into an analogy or metaphor.

Clearing Sky

Not some priceless Monet impression
apathy of a debris filled grey sky
the disconnected wallow in the weekend

Sun exerting a seemingly spiritual pressure
strong reaction not derived from acylation
oligarch nexus royalty over grateful populace

Skulduggery of the light and heat
as white waves its own shaded flag
and the virtuous clarity shines brighter

Lego Project

Giant personalized turtle
knotted conclusion an epiphany
dedication like a nocturnal priestess
patience thin like a summer breeze
this Lego commission delivered
as one killer piece of art

When writing today’s poem I had a few thoughts and scenario’s cross my head, but I wanted to get readers input on what they envision when reading this poem.

soaring crash

Soaring Crash

Riots ticking
a destiny kiss
limitation of trust
ticket to challenge
superstitious outcomes
soaring too far
like a wild aviatrix
eventually come crashing
down to the ground

Cold Feet is a poem about the man at the altar procrastinating so long that he loses the girl who walks out on him. 

Wedding-Cold-Feet1

Cold Feet

Jazz music unable to sway reaction
bike pedal simply stuck in idle
maddening state of razzle-dazzle
driving you almost suicidal

Many moments blink like popcorn
blueberry gowns and her in white
great wrench in life’s works
feeling now like some plight

No great processor of solutions
hooked in returning procrastination
love not some deciduous usufruct
so moment ends in desolation

Return of the Dark Lord is a poem that paints a story of a cult of a death god who kidnap a girl via trickery with intentions to sacrifice her to their dark god. 

return of dark lord

Return of the Dark Lord

Requiem of a blue moon birthday
seekers instantaneous celebration
worship of some dreary death god
purple ruler of this mountain abyss

Crazy development of a night ritual
some poor fluent fluffy bunny blonde
falling for promises of a decent lunch
tricked like some monkey with a banana

Decisions made by dark caste vote
stupendous sacrifice of appeased
animosity against all life itself
for the return of the dark lord

Another Drink is a poem that tries to encapsulate an alcoholic at their most irrational, angry state. The refusal for treatment or even acknowledging there is a problem and burying themselves deeper into the drink.

alcoholic

Another Drink

Angry; sick of this recovery theme
doggone didactic sobriety preaching's
can’t fathom the life of a vodkaholic
those who seek to change or transfer me
deny these cravings as unclean divine storage
who would want this gregarious lifestyle
winning nothing but more condemnation
and more anger now like liquid insanity
pale pasty orange hued face now flush
like bright red holly berry clusters
again proclaiming love for the drink
denying what little family is left
what would they know of this curse?
the ranting ramblings to oneself
screw them all; alone isn’t so bad
in fact; I will drink to that

Chocolate Flames is a poem about passion and paints the scene of lovers taking to an evening of enjoyment. The last two words provided just set the whole theme of the poem for me, and the words just seemed to fall into place.

Chocolate Flames

Tonight’s performance needs no copyright
magical living inspired by our passion
puppy love meets raw venison desire
executrix of secretly wanted commands
compliance met with welcome punishment
this evening begins in chocolate flames

The Coming Age is a poem that plays off of the end of the world theme which comes up periodically in my poetry as people talk about 2012 and the end of the world crap that is so common place.  It is yet another way of retelling the supposed “doom” that falls upon mankind when what some believe will be Solar flares strong enough to burn away the surface of the world.

The Coming Age

Pray for the savage storm coming
most unwelcome and unnatural vaudeville
where collision of bizarre fire and rain
seek to undo superfluous human existence
poet and prophet are brothers in fear
people volunteer their souls as penance
and every magazine preaches the nearing end
with birds chirping their final tweet
from Sidney and London to Oklahoma City
no country left unscathed from this totality
as this birthday will be our last day
