"Damnation Count"

Nine tolls echo, a dirge profound
Seven weep in boundless night
Five seals break where sins are found
One soul drowns in endless blight

Another Dawn Fades to Dusk
Nightmares calling
So I rush
Through the Pain

Road Work Ahead

Knowing too much about what you can not change
Is bad for mental health and can drive one insane
So I stay in my lane; maintaining the road
Filling pot holes of pain that rain has erode

Toxic Regime

Can someone please explain their logic?
I’m lost beyond measure it would seem
I got deja-vu the whole thing feels ironic
Once again living under this toxic regime

A Bright Future Lies Ahead

Mother & father
raising their son & daughter
growing them up just like you
their future floats dead in the water

Stars

In the night sky's vast incandescence.  
Stars whisper secrets of wind presence.  
Dreams ignite with hopeful persistence.  
Guiding hearts with gentle fluorescence.

Spoken

The authenticity of the truth spoken
depends on the accuracy
of the words

Shear Love

Hand me the shears of our love
and snip sorrows away
and with a glinting wink
cut me with your adorable wit.

Thor`s legacy

 Nordic God,Thor the hammer bore
 justifed by those that needed more
destruction and such bloody gore
warmongers laughed, a along gaffaw

Moonlight

one step outside and wonder begins
the moon rises full streetlights contend
too cold to abide the night the wind
they push they pull more wonder descends

Mind Games

She touched him  
She showed herself  
She took him from her  
She made him into a human wreck

“alchemy”

my fabric’s polka dots
are forlorn, fallen - in time’s
blanking canvas-  our love
weaves golden eternity
