Angel Fire
Angel Fire
I am the fret the favour the flowing
Glowering freefall fantasy you’re desiring
Rising out of ashes like the phoenix
Teasing wilfully the Icarus
Who flies for want of glory into
Fires held as light,
I am the old forever young I am the slayer
Of the horseman, I am the murderer
Of assassins I am disturbed by what you term
As sanity, I am clarity I am obscure
I am the two headed bird of Eastern Europe
I am Bulgaria, Narnia,
I am black and white and red and blue
I am desiring your false sincerity
I am gold and green and lean within
A pocket only knowing poverty,
And robbery is not my name but man
I know it well,
I am lowering what you call a standard
By feigning gain in future absence
I am abstract and classical and presently
In peaceful danger.
I am the clock you take the chance upon a tic
I am the toc that lost that chance I am
The prankster the gangster the
Cheapest most expensive trick you’ll
Ever lose,
I am the child upon the bruise
I am nothing but a ruse
A ruse to take a demon back to
Where it one did hail,
I am righting those
You branded to bring a simple grandiose
I’m arduous and valiant whilst cowering
In view.
I am the reality of the high brow
The waste considered talented
By high clowns – the lyrically drowned
By old conforming norms that cripple
All integrity of art.
I am your saviour and save ya,
Flavouring the morsels of causals
The corpses the tallest the smallest
The infinitesimal of small talk
A warlord a warlock who’ll strain a higher
Intellect with introspections of the tongue,
Wronged rhymed shined and
Shot!
Shoooooooooooooooooooooo!
Two sides tease a talented woe,
But there is no point tossing
Coinage for victors unless
Within deceit you’re prepared to go to hell,
I can be on the edge,
On the edge with my stiff little finger,
I know it well,
For I roll like shadows under moon
And all I have seen,
Gives a certain vantage
In states you call Noetic
For all I have endured ensured
My ego, left many fantasies behind.
Behind walls built by what you call your faith,
Faith that took many days of life,
Life you know you wouldn’t live
For all the purse of kingdom come,
My ego left many years ago,
Eating mine own excrement
And licking dog piss off the sweets
That melted in a drought of poverty
Created by your wealth,
Sculpted men in uniform have no Ego,
But pride in having compassion to
Pass the knowledge they have gained,
But still you never learn
I am the Fret, a Noetic-fret!
A chord that rises discord of your self,
I am the man who dodged the bullet from the rifle
I am the poor with which your wallet cradles
I am the ladle feeding your own shit,
Back upon itself
I’ll rub it in your face for you to swallow
And hope within this land you’ll realize that all
Upon this Earth are doing you a favour
In practising the roles that give you your status
A status that your very keen to claim
I have pride in who I am for I have never
Left the ground for you,
With all your falsehoods in what you call
An intellect,
Only seek to keep integrity,
And value on a frown,
You brutalize sincerity
Trample every casualty
You’ll create laws that bang all honesty to rights,
And in appealing to your senses
I’m hoping that you’ll once again
Find yourself within a prayer,
But you’ll never once be recognised
While pleading for your soul,
For there be more than just yourself to be aware,
Taking toll on angels
Is the life that never lived,
And living isn’t living
When your only occupation is forgive,
You’ll never leave The Earth,
You’ll never leave The Earth,
You’ll never leave The Earth.
Noetic-fret! 12th June 2010.

A very powerful poem. I like your reading too, but I don't feel clever enough to know what the poem is about. But I enjoyed reading/listening.
