En la tranquilidad del mar

The relic of your love

Your skull beneath a crown of flowers,
your blood staining some cracked vessel,
your bones scattered to the winds
to wind up in a score of churches; 
so many claim your bones
you’d make a dozen men.

When, to the daughter of your jailer
you gave the gift of sight,
and signed it 'from your Valentine', 
it bought you but a temporary stay.

And smitten with your God,
you would keep marrying soldiers
to the supposed virgins of Rome,
so they could not fight;
and soldiers are gold to an empire.

Or else ministering to Christians
(those dafties with their crosses)
before the lions had them;
cutting hearts from parchment
to remind them what their love meant;
for the betrothed on earth, and to Him beyond.

All this made the Emperor chafe;
you weren’t playing ball, my love.
To maintain respect, like some Scorsese hero,
he simply had to have you beaten with clubs;
and like Rasputin, you forstood unfathomable violence,
until they chose to remove your head
out on the Via Flaminia,
one night beneath a Hunter’s Moon.
This did the trick.

Centuries bleed past like broken hearts,
and here you tarry, my grinning suitor;
I stand before your skull,
braided with bright white roses
that stink of faith,
and ask for the gift of vision
to find the one true heart
in a wilderness of stone.

Bloody Birds 2

I was still asleep.
As the door made a squeak.
Dreams so bleak.
With effortless care

Turning with unease
Hearing the neighbor sneeze.
Allergic to trees.
Still dozy unaware

Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
And the cat is also there

Stretching as I yawn
Could it already be dawn.
Bloody birds on the lawn.
And the cat is also there.

Out of bed with a goal
Tripping over kitties bowl.
Pain taking hold
The kitties victim cold

Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
And the cat is also there

Bloody birds

Bloody Birds 2

It is a musical interpretation of an excerpt from Hal's up and coming book titled "Jessica And The Demon". If you want to find out more you'll need to buy the book! It will soon be available on Kindle and paperback format from Amazon.
