The Party on the Stairs
We had a party on the stairs,
the ghostly belles and I,
and in that space between the dawn
and when the cockerel cries
we talked of many things,
including how I’d one day wear
a death mask just like theirs,
of powder and patch
and one beauty mark
to anchor the face to the room.
How in this world a woman is a ghost
before even her limbs have stilled,
her heart stopped beating in its cage,
her corset loosed at last.
the ghostly belles and I,

to anchor the face to the room.
How in this world a woman is a ghost
before even her limbs have stilled,
her heart stopped beating in its cage,
her corset loosed at last.

Death Race
and they’ll say
haven’t you had enough?
(death and destruction)
(death and destruction)
to which I’d reply
not till they all reach the sky
so sit down
as we go for a hell of a ride
when I was alive
I tried to be the nice guy
was picked on
until I slicked my hair back
started wearing a leather coat
bought a ride the girls drooled over
was challenged to a drag race
couldn’t look week
so I said let’s ride
was head to head
until I went off a cliff and died

Gladiators
You think you know what our last nights were like
before we were by splintered staves
compelled, arena bound,
to cry our Aves out and chant
and bitter taste the oath of morituri te salutant
before the fat faced laureled ones who hold
our lives within their hands,
who come and drool like rabid dogs
to see us hack and cut and spill our lives
upon the vampire sand.
But have you ever felt the leathered pinch upon
your skin of brassard’s harness in the heat,
the weight of greaves upon your legs,
the breath depriving clutch...

Knight of Death
They venture into the night
Where silence vibrates the dark
The knights battle and fight
Thunder rumbled, lightning sparked
With ball and chain they clash
And deadly sculpted swords
Shattered shields will crash
Whipping metal deadly cord
The last two gladiators known
Hands sweating, blood dripping
Fighting to death for the throne
Like thorns of rose flesh splitting
As the morning star strikes the head
A fallen warrior motionless lies there
In a puddle of blood he's now dead ...
Where silence vibrates the dark
The knights battle and fight
Thunder rumbled, lightning sparked
With ball and chain they clash
And deadly sculpted swords
Shattered shields will crash
Whipping metal deadly cord
The last two gladiators known
Hands sweating, blood dripping
Fighting to death for the throne
Like thorns of rose flesh splitting
As the morning star strikes the head
A fallen warrior motionless lies there
In a puddle of blood he's now dead ...

Blind Me
Headlights blind me
As I drive into the resurrection
She sings along as we cruise into
The greasy burger stand trying to
Scrape enough coin to feed the little ones
As cars criss cross the highway looking for
Their own redemption maybe if they can stay straight
But they drift off recessing into the dark alleyway
As a man walks along looking for lost money
The lights are bright at Walmart as
A local bicycle salesman closes for good because of them
Meet up at the Dollar...
As I drive into the resurrection
She sings along as we cruise into
The greasy burger stand trying to
Scrape enough coin to feed the little ones
As cars criss cross the highway looking for
Their own redemption maybe if they can stay straight
But they drift off recessing into the dark alleyway
As a man walks along looking for lost money
The lights are bright at Walmart as
A local bicycle salesman closes for good because of them

Some kind of angel
Three times I called out to her.
each time,
she stepped out of the blackness
and stood over me.
I pursed my lips for her kiss
but she just stared,
her face laced with pity
so I cursed her.
again.
(pic from American horror story)

Frozen
The cavalry arrived, the orchestra played
Upon a rock, her beauty displayed
Frozen in time, The Four Winds spoke
Lips locked, magic evoked
Heavenly creatures played their harps
Centaurs galloped around
Across the valley, nature danced
To the alluring symphonic sound
The cavalry marched, showering stars
Golden cherubs, witnessed afar
Shadows danced on, into the sun
Entwined eternal, love has begun
Upon a rock, her beauty displayed
Frozen in time, The Four Winds spoke
Lips locked, magic evoked
Heavenly creatures played their harps
Centaurs galloped around
Across the valley, nature danced
To the alluring symphonic sound
The cavalry marched, showering stars
Golden cherubs, witnessed afar
Shadows danced on, into the sun
Entwined eternal, love has begun

fires lit
it was cold and she invited me in
I said one, she insisted on two
we know the rules
said the one that was cool
a few led to more
curbed to the floor
gazing at skies
thru soft satin eyes
the moon held us up
leading lost souls astray
fires, soon lit
where kisses had set
roaming the ruins
underneath unnamed statues
arts of destruction
captured within time
within moments
fleeting faster than the night
nestled into the warmth
steadfast, unwavering

Pelion
Where once the proud towers stood
There stood at length and at last
Only ruin
Here and there remained somewhat
Stone on stone
Weathered more than worn
Turned dark and green by moss and stain
And damp
As if memory still sorrowed here
Alone
When all else lay forgot
Yet
So elemental
The stillness itself was imbued
With the power to evoke
That which words could not put to name
And feelings alone disclose
What piercing eye can glance to see
What lies beyond all distance
Indeed ...

The time of Halloween
The time of Halloween
Oh I love Halloween, you can't beat some trick or treat, it's a time for scary dress up, it's a time that can't be beat
Pumpkins with evil faces, shining candy apples by the score, a feast of childish fun filled delights, who could ask for more
Spooky ghosts and ghoulies, Vampires and the Wolfman hiding in the dark, stories told by adults. Your fear they're made to spark
You hide under the covers, first check there's nothing under your bed, is there something in your wardrobe or is it in your head
Scary evil nasty...
