On The Brink ( A Collaboration with Vision_of_insanity)
It's arriving today
Our own extinction
Created with hate
For evil we annihilate
Been digging graves
Under a blood red moon
Until the enemy caves
Falling like a lead balloon
Filling our lungs
With winds of death
Crushing our bones
And burning our flesh
Air raid siren screams
Feeling panic build inside
Acid infested streams
Death rolls in with the tide
Our world is under siege
Because of "their" reign
For those who survive
Nothing but torment, famine and pain...

Spring is near
Winter suddenly hides away
waterfalls once frozen
flowing downward into the bay
Lonely sidewalks decay, after before
spring is arriving soon
the end of the bridge lies an open door
Broken dreams picked up where they last fell
the emotional wasteland sleeps again
my love through words, encouraged to tell
waterfalls once frozen

Lonely sidewalks decay, after before
spring is arriving soon
the end of the bridge lies an open door
Broken dreams picked up where they last fell
the emotional wasteland sleeps again
my love through words, encouraged to tell

Seduced
From the moment
From the second
From the first word
My goal is you
What can stoke that fire
That lies beneath?
What will make you uncomfortable
To adjust in your seat?
What can make you dart that tongue
Out and lick your lips?
What will make you reach out
Wanting to grab hold?
I do not crawl but tonight
For this moment I will crawl
Like a cougar, focused on her
Prey
You Are My Prey!

Flora and Fauna-chapter 2
Early vespers , the triumphant silence surrounded Tara when she woke up. She had been awake nursing a nightmare thumping her ancient dragon skull. It started off with a voice or perhaps it was the wind. First it was as if the wind opened the shutters from the windows. As if it allowed something to open that was released in fretful times. A magical change about to happen.
The wind was swelling growing whispering waning waxing groaning whistling roaming around the windows. “I am free to move!” The wind spoke repeating that same sentence over and over again. As this half waking...

The Torchbearer
Deep
within the ocean's heart
light is scarce
yet sometimes rare
—a little angler fish’s torch
illuminates
the darkness there
A fishing lure
it softly sways
temptation
in an endless haze
so seldom seen
amid the dark
a false beacon
of appetite
Her humpbacked nature
in eerie depths
where silence holds
its secrets...

sunflower girl
somewhere between life and death
An angel invited me to dinner with my soulmate
I was confused, I said I thought he died
touching his memory stirred me
Jimmy is out there, let me see
Then a nurse entered, looking so much like Morrison
I was always his sunflower girl
babe he said we keep living
A Native American stopped in to see if I needed him and wanted to catch up
I jumped up to go and somebody called me back in ICU
in no fit condition to even walk
Jim was beautiful, wild as the wind,
he's young again out there...

The Perfect illusion
Some betrayal can never be forgotten as they become, more of a mental burden to the mind and heart. For sure it in it's self is a reminder of the betrayal and deception, that some people's who commit this kind of heinous act of betrayal. Don't think about the very deepness of the feelings, and how far they will go deeper than deep, till they become dangerous thoughts of murder and revenge. For no matter how we look at it, it's still is called cheating with deception hiding behind the lies of a mask as a disguise. For the relationship been over so be the kind of man or woman, that you claim to...

Now, but a memory
The sound of her voice begins to fade
As her face of bright happy features dulls into a sepia blur
her smile remains vivid and constant in my minds eye
Skipping every other beat in grief,
my heart…will miss you forever
As her face of bright happy features dulls into a sepia blur
her smile remains vivid and constant in my minds eye
Skipping every other beat in grief,
my heart…will miss you forever
