sarcophagus
pearlscent images of marbles rolling towards each other
An orphanage sings strange nursery rhymes
A parafine lamp casts a hermit light
The unspeakable lulls between us
It hangs heavy like a dark kite
Thunder clouds laugh
In violet violence
I know who you are, I know where you are
says the voice spoken through numb lips
The music is playing
"you are my ghost Jenny Bailey, come dance with me"
One morning I awoke from dark ovaries of rebirth
I was a manifestation. My gift was to polish this mirror ...

Crimson Drenched Cape
In the looking glass
where a naive, innocent young girl once stood
A strong, fierce warrior of a young lady
reflects back
Time and circumstance have worn her face,
her aura, her spirit..
into an unfamiliar manifestation
transitioning from hunted
to huntress
Lightly colored locks once held in pigtails by
red ribbons
replaced by straightened disheveled tresses
as black as midnight
icey eyes full of idealism and day dreams
now flash crimson red
after having lived through...

Greedy Beast
Visual Poem
I don’t know how you live in your madness
walking this faint line between
sense and nonsense
predominately living amongst the nonsensical
with very rare visits to the land of sane and rational thought
I just wish you wouldn’t have dragged me down
into your murky rabbit hole
scarring and tainting my soul
How were we ever supposed to find our way out,
when you were devouring my light?
You left me no choice ...

the dying of the light
in my innocence, I wept
for the dying of my light inside me
troubling times on the horizon
our maker looks on
the horses of the apocalypse are riding
the day wore her storms like curses
darker and darker still
the people groan under the weight
tumultuously the world evolves in wisdom
humanity still in its infancy
looks to the heavens for answers
plagues, climate change, war
the oppressed rise
the elite are shaken in their houses
an uprising, a revolt
disenchanted children of the millennium cry...

bluebird
depression talks, it has a voice of its own
it is the voice of despair
dark and needy it clings to me
until I have no choice but to listen
soon I am wearing its clothes
the work uniform for the sad
defeated look in the eyes and all
in the listless way I walk and talk
it's a heaviness of being
it talks to me
it has a dark voice
I struggle with it, wrestle with it even
until I am too tired to fight it anymore
and I can hold it down no longer
I have to let it out then or it will eat at me ...

Quid Pro Quo
Visual Poem
Come to me
repose your wearied heart in my palms
curl your tiring legs in my lap
allow your lackadaisical spirit to settle in my embrace
I’ll breathe life back into your lungs,
my darling
For a price...

Unrequited / Unerwidert
The superficial smile hides my scars,
stay a bit and die a while,
Though stare at me too deep
or gaze questioningly too long,
And you will see my mean streak
is light years long,
By that time any screams you sound
are simply serenades for my wrathful lust
As I thrust and thrust
choking with the pressing intent,
no matter the dark desires answered
Forever unsatisfied in my soul.
A bitterness to every taste
and for every fresh fetish
boredom breaks an inevitable tide
Until the abyss yawns too wide
And there within ...
stay a bit and die a while,
Though stare at me too deep
or gaze questioningly too long,
And you will see my mean streak

no matter the dark desires answered
Forever unsatisfied in my soul.

Until the abyss yawns too wide

The Incipient
My pen to paper, will always be my truest form.
My sins to vapor, will always be my darkest storm.
Introspective is my motto, challenge me to a scare?
My roots run deep with bravado, red blood dripping from my hair.
Perhaps I am much darker.
Perhaps I’ve quelled a beast.
For all the times my menace entered, she knew she’d find her feast.
Where every soul lies shaking, my horror stabs it in its chest.
On every brink that’s breaking, I double dare you to pass my test.
For we are never more than what this universe shall shed. ...

Lady Dark
lady Dark has come forward from the depths
I hear her approach
she calls upon me darkest night
to summons the decay of me
wretched soul given to rivers of lies
harlot of witchery who denies her true nature

conjure the winds to a tempest

Time has corroded me
I was being crushed by anxiety like the waves crashing agaisnt the rocks on the coast of the sea,
Slowly over time it has corroded me.
Like a battery left in the remote being drained by the constant use,
I'm taken for granted and broken down by the constant abuse.
Like the faded welcome matt on your doorstep,
I'm worn down and covered in scars from the dammage caused by every step.
Like the nail from your unfinshed project covered in rust and burried in the dirt,
If there is no physical dammage then you can't see the hurt.
Slowly over time it has corroded me.
Like a battery left in the remote being drained by the constant use,
I'm taken for granted and broken down by the constant abuse.
Like the faded welcome matt on your doorstep,
I'm worn down and covered in scars from the dammage caused by every step.
Like the nail from your unfinshed project covered in rust and burried in the dirt,
If there is no physical dammage then you can't see the hurt.

The Revelations of Monsters
Visual Poem
I was naively convinced with certainty, that monsters lived in darkness.
Lurking under beds, hiding in closets, dancing in shadows
Oh how innocence is robbed and hearts shockingly devastated
when we harshly learn
that monsters deceptively
walk among us, confidently in the light.
With trusting eyes and outstretched arms...
Sometimes sharing our bloodlines or sleeping in our beds.
I was naively convinced with certainty, that monsters lived in darkness.

With trusting eyes and outstretched arms...
Sometimes sharing our bloodlines or sleeping in our beds.
