About this ebook
Think of the poems in this book as mini-experiences similar to enjoying your favourite cup of warm liquid surrounded by strangers with their faces buried in their laptops, dinner and a movie, drinks with a friend or a favourite cerebral massage or something to chew on from a bubblegum machine. Like anything else you consume on a daily basis, poetry has value and poems are worth something. Unlike behind the counter culture products, poems have different value for each reader. Follow the easy to understand guidelines in the introduction to determine your personal poetics valuation.
Dead Beat Poet
I’ve been drifting through this life looking,in search of somewhere with something to care.For a over a decade now and count slowing,the people who love me only do so by dare.I remember growing up in little to nowhere land,imagining what it would it be like to do a magic transport.beam myself to San Francisco or someplace exotic with sand,somehow be part of what is and with an import.Listening in secret to Depeche Mode and the Doors sing,who led me to embrace the rebel within one.At the time I couldn’t sing or play anything,so I started staring at the stars while dancing right past the Sun.To show the world I wasn’t born otherwise wrong,the U.S. Navy had my name the top of their list.To prove to everyone and myself I didn’t have to belong,I could do anything I wanted with an open-handed fist.I know I’ve missed the show by a decade or more,it’s been a non-stop roller coaster ride and I’ve lost track of the time.I’ve hit rock bottom and can prove it with a number on the door,it doesn’t matter anyway I can write what I mean and finally rhyme.

What Others Are Saying
Aethersphere is an engaging read for anyone who is interested in learning more about an internal psychological intense exploration that maps the intimate contours of this mysterious and terrifying prodigy we all experience, called life. You can follow as this warrior-like yet peace-loving writer set out to challenge mainstream thinking, to debunk stereotypes, to put the dependence on obsession and on self-destruction into sharp perspective, filled with emotive images and vivid visions that penetrate deep down under our skin. and to seduce our mind with his apocalyptic point of view. is a public space where we can talk
freely and safely about death, chaos, loneliness, obsession, pain, violence, perversion, grief. But also about vampires, angels, muses, hopes, dreams, magic, art, synaesthesia, aethersphere, sex, love. The essence of Aethersphere is to find a way, however desperate, to make sense of the world even when it seems to be meaningless, vain and silly, and to keep yourself alive. Give it a try: I’m sure you’ll be wonderfully surprised.
Marzia Puzkin, Roman Muse
Its hard hitting and heavy shit man !
Every emotion has been covered that is humanly possible.
DP Therapy outweighs Psychotherapy 10 fold
I’m looking up words I don’t know,
have some favorite poems and ones that made me...cringe !
Lynsey Bailey, UK poetess

Poetics Introduction Induction
Thank you for beginning to read this book of more than 300 poetic works this introduction will be the only narration outside of the graphic poems they were written with a self-exquisite corpse and spontaneous automatism with aid of muses, red inked molskines and mounds of dark agonistic tomes the dates of writing are from the fall of 2008 to the spring of 2011 murks.
If you decide to complete this reading from the beginning to the very end download a copy with a real world free guarantee for your digital shelf one thing will be realized by reading that will make it worth pressing send inside there is stuff about art, philosophy and the physics of conscious self if not pleased i promise to write a poem especially about you as you do pretend.
By reading this far you are no longer a stranger and now know part of the plot our story unfolds with what isn’t written between the lines and around rhymes welcome to our digital world in the casual electronic voyeuristic observer’s slot there will be clues along the way and surprises for the ending of our times for all you know you might already be part of the story and ineluctable knot.
Caution to those of a mild constitution because of an initial report if you feel rhyming is annoying this book will definitely make you crazied reading this may be cause for unsettling feelings of a quiet and sad discomfort fast amounts of reading may make you feel, write and act a little bit frenzied the poems are an unconscious reflection of our reality in full distort.
If you decide to go for the full download then you receive a two-for-one price please share one for free with your friend and discuss it with someone you like triple entaundras of streaming thoughts in my cerebral grinder of actualizationism if you decide not to continue please email this link to someone you secretly dislike even if you don’t know who i am there is another near just like me and our favorite vice.
Suggested Reading Guidelines
Firstly read the list of titles from beginning to end
skipping through or breezing past is slicing yourself thin
like women and men sitting alone and reading together on the city bus
you may never get this first chance ever again and forget this relative-time
from your conscious through the sublevel of the destination station of un-consciousness
this will establish the anagrammatic neuro-synaptic pathways through the axonic-mylonic maze
each of the titles is a smooth stepping stone that when stepped upon opens a little red and black door
the unconscious lay in between and in that resides your free will just beyond the reality haze
the one you call ‘I’ and a small bit commingling and infusing to the collective sub-conscious
take this chance now and do it right for the higher high the very first space-time
discover the triple entandra with a second reading revealing meaning thus
recognizing the rhyming and sequence adds an additional dimension
the full story will not make sense if you skip through the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Columbus & Broadway
I’m sitting right here,
@ Columbus & Broadway.
People everywhere,
doing it the hard way.
Models here and there,
strippers galore.
If you look well enough,
you can find a whore.
Italian food, Greek,
Mexican too.
They are all here,
just to serve you.
Buying memories,
souvenirs as well.
Stay long enough,
go straight to hell.
Trust me I know.
been there and back.
But this time it’s different,
going to stay right on track.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lifting the Veil
They say making rhymes,
is a sign, that you’re going inane.
If this is so, can it be,
that we’re supposed to be all the same?
Average people can’t understand,
the depths in which we feel.
Over-react and under-dress
is simply just part of the deal.
They just can’t see it,
not the way we do.
That’s why we’re on stage,
they want to be like us too.
They just don’t know it,
because the veil hasn’t lifted.
To show them the truth,
people are not disordered and everyone’s gifted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let’s Meet
I can tell you things that you’ve never heard,
and show you things you’ve never seen.
What is it that you do,
from which I may glen?
We can meet for lunch,
or maybe tea.
You can tell me about you,
and then about me.
It’s not sex I want,
or friendship either.
It’s an exchange of ideas,
over a pint or a liter.
You tell me yours,
I’ll tell you mine.
If the energy is right,
together they will shine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamia
I can’t imagine,
a life without struggle.
One with work,
AND a life to juggle.
Bringing others joy,
is the path I have chosen.
Work every week-end,
a love life that’s frozen.
I’m not complaining,
I’m full of ammonia.
Because that is,
I have Anhedonia.
That’s why I can’t wait,
for the return of Lamia.
That what’s I call,
my good friend Cyclothmia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Electronic Glitter
MySpace, facebook, Google and Twitter,
filling our brains with electronic glitter,
eyes full of sparkle,
and minds full of litter.
Friends with thousands,
but know only few,
maybe you’re next,
just me, them and you.
My postings are read,
by thousands a day.
The phone never rings,
it’s as if I’m away.
Eat, sleep, dance,
movies as well.
Alone in the crowd,
with secrets to tell.
You tell me yours,
I’ll tell you mine.
We both need for more,
like the sunshine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tosca
I’m sitting here in Tosca,
drinking alone.
They say that’s a symptom
of something wrong in the home.
Beautiful women,
at the end of the bar.
Do you think one will screw me,
in the back of my car?
Oops, you see,
I don’t have my car.
Maybe we can do it,
in the back of the bar.
I doubt it though,
everyone would hear.
I guess I’ll just sit here,
and finish my beer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cozsing Pandora
I coze my Pandora,
she tunes my brain.
With piano concertos,
and sounds like rain.
She makes me feel unalone,
and sometimes warm inside.
I can listen to Depeche Mode,
when I want to cry or hide.
Mozart and Bach,
Nick Cave is here too.
The Smiths and Nirvana,
of course there’s U2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting Fright
Here I sit,
alone in my room.
Nothing to think,
but more gloom and doom.
A solitary life is what I lead,
without regard to want or need.
Nobody knows where I do sleep
nor do they care if I laugh or I weep.
Alone I go into the night
with all of my will and all of my might
People are there in plain sight,
they pretend not to see because of their fright.
But I know they’ll be there
when I get my next hit
when once again
I am the shit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behind the Mask
Nobody knows me,
not by name.
I say hello and smile,
to them I’m just the same.
Another face in the crowd,
but behind the mask is pain.
A mindful of yesterdays,
regrets, hopes and sorrows.
But the worst is behind me,
I can finally see tomorrows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Little Star
My little star sleeps next to me,
tiny nightmares light my way.
Why she’s here it’s hard to say,
please leave tomorrow, not today.
She sees me, not as I am,
but shades of dark-pale gray.
Now I’m awake and she’s disappeared,
I know I’ll miss her for the whole day.
As soon as I’m home it’s back to bed,
maybe she’s waiting within my walls of red.
And then I drift off to my sweet,
it’s only here we ever meet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
North Beach Weather
In San Francisco there is no such thing,
as the season’s winter or summer.
It’s always either fall or spring,
of course the fog’s another.
Our park is called a square,
though it’s round and full of stoners.
Around dusk because they care,
the dogs are out walking their owners.
Every day from the front to the rear,
travelers drift like a newly formed band.
The backpacks and carriers do appear,
at the beach on the hill with no sand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will Ball
She has the name,
of a gay porno star.
I’ll bet you she lost it,
in the back of a car.
Mirrors are smashed,
deconstructing perception.
What this artist needs,
is a sold out reception.
She creates for some artists,
who have certain needs.
The feeling of victory,
a tower among trees.
So buy her work fast,
before she meets me.
Because when that happens,
she will cost at least x-three
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Misfits and Freaks
Misfits and Freaks,
I know them by name.
Because they and I,
are one in the same.
Their backs are all turned,
when we disclose,
our true other self.
The discussion’s now closed.
Then we retreat,
to our own little sphere.
To them it’s just like,
we were not ever there.
Paula Lietz
Paula Lietz is nice beyond measure.
To claim as a friend
is a valuable treasure.
A home-cooked meal,
provided each day.
To nourish the body, and keep hunger away.
To tune her own rhythm,
she listens to chants,
gives a
