Evil At The Wayward Inn
No more boarders,'
the inn keeper spewed
raising her arms in the air.
People once came to the inn in droves
because it was a quaint little structure
with flower beds surrounding it
It stood on the outskirts of town
a darling little place it was
that is until the unthinkable occurred
Some tennants were good renters
perhaps the majority of them were
Then came a drifter with a scraggly beard and shifty eyes
He tried to make the inn his home
much to the innkeeper's chagrin
There was something odd...

Outer Limits Fandango
The astro'naught in me blasts (off)
to some pretty grim
planets,
but none so grim as the one we been
improving
for a few 100,000 annuals.
Now, we dazzle ourSelfs wit such
unbelievable feats of human'mind
that we gonna go
improve the rest of the solar
system wit our god-given Manifest Destiny.
"Well, god compelled we to do it." say the
OutaSpace genius' of the month club's spin'docs.
"We owe it to OurSelfs, after all the
hard work we done done, y'know?"
But not before we divvy up the mineral ...

the river ii
his gaze
set
firmly
on the tumult
the shimmer
the glare
occasionally poking
a ray
direct
into his eye
life
perhaps
its reflection
setting ablaze
his being
behind the eyes
every day
by the riverbank
the swell
and fall
of his chest
the bellow
for the furnace
'tween his ears
the river
where he met her
still there.

Siren
There was a sailor
Some say the best to sail the sea
He lived for the salty air
And longed for gold and rubies
But one day sitting quietly
In the darkest corner of a sunken pub
He heard tale of a treasure so great
It would overshadow all other loves
T'was a foreboding warning
Of beautiful sirens who lie in wait
And sing their spellbound lullabies
To entice sailors as bait
He shrugged it off
Smirking with a cocky scoff
And set sail the next morning
Not giving a second thought
After a...

HOW DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT
From the depth of your subconsciousness and awareness of knowing thyself, there is an misconception that we must address. As it seems to be an misconception surrounded by the false accusations of thoughts coming from the memories of your mind. For through levitating of one's own thoughts and feelings and emotions, comes deep inner thoughts with there own trials and tribulations. Yet behind the words of manifestation those silent thoughts of your most deepest thoughts, from the depth of your subconsciousness CAN anything be able to be achieve. For you are a light as well as energetic energy...

In Bed with the Devil
Let me pen you something naughty
Because that's what you like to read
Yes, you keep yourself so haughty
But deep down you like to plead
Are you aching for a new story
Something scandalous and dark
I could spin you something gory
Light your blood thirsty spark
Oh my Love it's dirty and seedy
It'll bring a broad smile to your lips
And those ears are mighty greedy
You are wrapped round my tongue's tip
For I know the day has you bored
What's that's saying idle hands...
But with me you've really...

Mysterious dance
The sun melted into the horizon as the misty fog snaked it's way through the valley.
Winding through forests and hills, blanketing the quiet scenery with it's moist dew.
Dancing candlelight pierced the newborn darkness with a flaming exuberance.
Wild children filled with mystic thoughts left the comfort of their beds and met in the cool sacred grounds of the cemetery.
Surrounded by aging oak trees the candles cast shadows on the ancient monoliths as the awakened children danced and chanted their mysterious songs to the moon.
Winding through forests and hills, blanketing the quiet scenery with it's moist dew.

The Man With The Plan
He said I have a plan
and I'm your man
so listen closely
because I want you
to help me
as best you can
there is a movie theatre
that sits down town
me and a buddy
are planning to hit
Here's where the three of us
will hide he showed me
taking me aside
we'll wait here
until it's time to slip inside
then we're gonna
rob them blind
So he said that
it was our secret
keep my lips closed tight
for me not to worry
everything would be alright
so I played...

The Stranger At The Train Station
The woman with silver hair wore a cream cardigan and sunglasses.
Pushing a small suitcase along the ground, she approached the ticket office.
Dawn thought there was something familiar about the woman, but she couldn’t identify what.
The voice.
West Country.
The accent reminded her of wild flowers and of an afternoon in a garden many years ago.
An untidy garden in Devon with autumn leaves and a pond and clumps of damp earth.
