Goodnight World
The ferris wheel
is in black and white
I can feel
the air is tight
as it turns
under a solar eclipse
that still burns
now the day is night .
Slow motion sounds
echoes of a fist
that pounds
lips gently kiss
goodnight to a done sound
we're all dead
hello hell hounds
hydrated heads
implode to a new found
earthen beds uproot the
soil of black
as bones walk around
into shape they crack
judgement day
is abound
there is no way
of ever going back

To Walk With Lightning
Heads
are turning
as the ground
is burning
where am I going
I don't know
but I'm floating
eyes of crystal
they are looking
I think I'm lifting
chapter closing
what is this place
with many
a stone face
this is the end
my friend
no more life race .
Lightning of fork
walk
with me .
it's time to die
it's time to leave
the eagles eye
is stalking me
he doesn't fly
nor do I breathe .
your third eye
is how to see
lightning of fork
walk
with me .
Spiney
charges
step cracks
through
the sky
but there
is no thunder
and I don't
wonder why
as all the
numbers
subtracted
to die
I'm a Hawk
gliding over
the striding
night
lightning of fork
walk
with me
let's charge over
electrically
lightning of fork
turn me to a sheet
so I shine brightly
before
I leave .

End time
The world will stand still
there will be no noise
there will be no air
the sun will not shine
the moon will be high up there
still, in its grey glory
From the east
the rustle of angels wing
will be heard
while from the west
anger trumpets
The south shall be quiet
as is the North
War
from the east silent death
from the air
set free from a laboratory
from the west,
trumpets of missiles,
raining fire and iron
set free with human fury
War will triumph
and humankind will lose...

Pleasure is all mine!
Clear all this stuff away,
The towns, the roads,
The factories, and the people
Bring on the cleansing force
Removing all this clutter
What is left, a better world
From this fresh start
We must prevent
A dominating species
An idyll; that mankind
Could only dream about
And will never get to see
The towns, the roads,
The factories, and the people
Bring on the cleansing force
Removing all this clutter
What is left, a better world
From this fresh start
We must prevent
A dominating species
An idyll; that mankind
Could only dream about
And will never get to see
a traditional end in lite taste
The horsemen have come to gamble
A scattered symphony of hooves
Let the chips fall where they may
In abyss, blood, and soot
They ride with long strides and come your way
The dun fare storms to bring their hate
Falling upon us, but still we don’t notice
For we are falling in synch
Cosmic wrath entrained above
And we will be trampled beneath
There’s a hollow queue
A veil between catalysts rues
Burns the churches, then the schools
As pride red tides swallow the moon
A foul wind haunts the hanging tree
The dead, understood, cry where they lay
The immortal horsemen drag them away
Thus reclamation sounds like
Something dying in the mire
The horsemen have come to gamble
A scattered symphony of hooves
Let the chips fall where they may
In abyss, blood, and soot
They ride with long strides and come your way
The dun fare storms to bring their hate
Falling upon us, but still we don’t notice
For we are falling in synch
Cosmic wrath entrained above
And we will be trampled beneath
There’s a hollow queue
A veil between catalysts rues
Burns the churches, then the schools
As pride red tides swallow the moon
A foul wind haunts the hanging tree
The dead, understood, cry where they lay
The immortal horsemen drag them away
Thus reclamation sounds like
Something dying in the mire

Deliverer of flesh unspared. Fall of the last sparrows song sung.
We the people upon the Earth Naked and torn asunder from what would
be and is to come.
Sky magma cracked howl of demons within the lands. Specters of
countless aeons past. Point their claws towards the final throne
so many denied and cast.
Blood drenched rivers of fire and cold sleepless hungry starving
holocaust of the uncountable dead. Birth pains of a World finally
convulsing. Into its regime and finale of the Great Mouth of God's Wrath.
Ready to be consumed and fed.
A great wicked reign of poisoned arrows like endless rains. Engulfed the
skies and buried our brows and flooded are brains. Endless tempural fluctuation
within the sky, and our very depths of our souls. Could not give us the peace
we needed to prepare for the finale yet to come and to be told.

Mourganna, i look forward to it (btw, that's exactly what came to mind for the title. couldn't think of a catch-all that didn't imply judgment. curiously a familiar melody drifted through my head at that time :))
vortex, great entry
i'm liking the creativity and diversity

It all happened very fast
but then
she was never really going to love us forever
not the way
we were raping and pillaging her at will
and she felt violated
and cried
then got mad to protect herself
just like any other mother
and so came the oceans, given free reign
seas and gales were given the same
while the twisters and the hurricanes waited in the rear
just in front of the earthquakes and the ice
she'd no choice

DEMOLITION POEM
Consolement confined
Camouflaged cobwebs
Caterpillars of the mind
Benevelent butterflies
Erasing everlasting
Newness nearly found
Frailty fragmented
Half framed
Lionheart untamed
Acknowledge, articulate
Speak, as words do not come
Silent tongues screaming
Demolition daughters
Waiting to wound
The heartless hope
Decomposing
Cadavers
Of humanity
Burned and cremated
Their bodies now enflamed
Do not alternate
Fate
No, wait....
..Wait!...
Obliviant obsession
..Wait!....
My encoutered angel-less
Here ever after
And god came
Too soon, too close, too late
I shall send a second entry as well
This poem is an older one which I edited a bit
