The origin of the last one standing (a vile horror story)
She asked questions
she already knew the answers to
white knuckle hoping
and silently begging
for specific
and certain replies
Being able to
predict every
possible scenario
and to adjust herself
accordingly—
is paramount
lucky, in laser instinct
At least fate afforded her
that small kindness
She sings songs
of muted harmony and peace
figuring that
light soothing
was where the engine
of mild safe complacency, fed
She dressed accordingly
and pleased them, ...

Bound and Helpless in Chamber 44
I want you
Bound and helpless
Chamber 44
Are you listening ?
Bound and helpless
Chamber 44
Are you listening ?

Oddity
So it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon
As I was just sitting there
Watching a football game,
More like just listening to the buzz on the TV
While reading and writing.
Then, a weird sort of e-mails comes in
Curious, I look.
It is a weird sort of response
To a poem on the net,
Full of spite, anger and rebuke
From a total stranger
Not even known from Adam and Eve.
What to do?
How to react?
I am baffled, but methinks
It might be a good base
For a short story.
I will dwell on that.
Kisses, Robert.

Gothic Girl
She lives in a cemetery
Somehow strange and sad
Her souls leaden ice
Keeps monstrous secrets
And will never let go
Dangerous world of sick visions
Darkness flows like water
All paths guard shadows
And there is no escape
From the world of gentle hell
All curses are stamped
Here is love, Evil is a reward
Somehow strange and sad
Her souls leaden ice
Keeps monstrous secrets
And will never let go
Dangerous world of sick visions
Darkness flows like water
All paths guard shadows
And there is no escape
From the world of gentle hell
All curses are stamped
Here is love, Evil is a reward

Nightmare: The Purge
If the purge came
alive into the real world
It would be our worst
nightmares come true
I've been to hell and
back and would
participate so it's
kill or be killed
The Loner of your
family must die
because he causes
nothing but pain
That's the only person
I would kill
The rest you
leave up to fate
alive into the real world
It would be our worst
nightmares come true
I've been to hell and
back and would
participate so it's
kill or be killed
The Loner of your
family must die
because he causes
nothing but pain
That's the only person
I would kill
The rest you
leave up to fate

I can't believe it was so cheap, the budget just matched with mine, all these rooms at this price, it's old but it's quite devine
I put the key in the lock, the door seemed heavy and quite stiff, I forced it to open wide, it had that old house whiff
I opened all the windows, I made sure all the curtains were opened wide, but I just had a strange feeling, a gnawing deep inside
It felt like I was not alone, there was a presence of pending doom, no matter where I went it followed me, in each and every room
When I took a shower,...

I’ve been bad
I didn’t mean to do it, surely you can see, the blood stains on my hands are a terrifying mystery
I don’t know how they got there, the knife is on the floor, no, no, no, I wouldn’t leave if I were you, besides there’s a lock on every door
Please excuse my manners, I’m trying to improve my skills, I want you to be comfortable, are you interested in sleeping pills
You know what, don’t worry about that, let’s just get to know each other and sit and relax, let me move this bloody knife, I’ll place it with my axe
I may have been bad, I’m just not...

Abuse
Distant days pass
I cannot sail hypnotically
No delicate blush, erotic erosive
To break loneliness must thrall
Gothic grey regrets plague the conscious
evil, solace twitching a phantom of love makes misery
hell-writhing in undying belief: broken, nevermore grotesque sunlight
I cannot sail hypnotically

To break loneliness must thrall

rage
today wept angry tears
indignant sighs said just how mad
I rose to greet the challenges posed
just to be struck down
defiant nature rose again
anger like it does runs its course
I was left bereft of feeling
hurting in anger's void
it was selfishness that conjured it
not getting my way made me feel impotent
the level of rage that ensued took me back
it seems a lot of my feelings go unnoticed
so when things rise they are volatile
lingers the anger what am I going to do?
I hate this...

stay
stay,
i will cut the flowers
from my wrist,
blooms
that gather
their luster,
stay,
among life
where life is bound
to leave,
stay,
sweet song,
the one buried
within the wind,
stay,
lonely moment,
i need to feel it
only from lips
that tremble,
stay,
in the field
pleasing meadow,
landscape encampment,
standing headstones
buried in the past
in silence,
stay,
that thought
of lost expression,
but,
answered always.
