HIS QUEEN NECROPHILIA
He loved her so much
He loved her too much
He could not give her up
So after her last breath
He had her stuffed
Posed her ready to make love
But taxidermy was not enough
To keep his lover from decomp
And she began to rot
The air became fragrant
With a scent beyond repugnant
Making neighbors distraught
Finally the police came to knock
What they discovered was a shock
Reprobate they asked, “WTF?”
“How could you do something so corrupt?”
His answer;
“Once you get use to the smell
You’ll find
She’s actually quite a wonderful gal!”

Hysteria
Two consciousnesses in a game of tag
Both standing their hard grounds
Pulling each other to faint, fighting for dominance
Battling each other's will.
It's my time now, get out of my way!
No! I'm done letting you steal my life away.
Your life is mine, as mine is yours
But soon, yours will be mine as it should.
You can never be me, stop your delusions
What you are is just a figment of my imagination.
What a fool you are thinking like that
I have the memories, you have the lies.
Memories better forgotten than remembered
Memories that horrible shouldn't be a reminder
That memories constitute who you were and still are
How dare you forget! How dare you erase!
It's mine to do with, not yours to play with
It's mine to slash not yours to bask
You can't live without, you can't change who you are
Forgetting, will that make you any less of a sinner
No! It's not my doing.
I did not want it, I do not like it.
Whose carnal desire was aroused
By the violence before his eyes?
Not mine!
Whose hand was it who suffocated, to silence the baby's cry?
No, it couldn't have been mine?
Deny all you want, but why am I still here?

The poem “Betrayal” is a largely free form examination of a group’s perception that they are under attack.
Betrayal
Erosion of power
loss of privilege
bulwarks tested
walls breached
control slipping
demotion granted
forbidden blessed
the fear is real
tradition warns
prophets preach
crusade’s draw
in the streets
sibling faiths
with dark skin
retribution asked
the bill is due
the attack has come
from the unsaved
from the unwashed
from the deluded
when brokers turn
on their brethren.

So there I met her greeting me at the door
As my heart dropped down to the floor
"Come in!" She invites
And I stand no rights
"He isn't home," she says
As I feel myself less
So we sit at her dining room table
And I wonder how she must have me labeled
Two women waiting for this man to come home
With every turn of the page, my heart does groan
Here we are at an unexpected turn
As the guts in my stomach churn
Never knew he had a beautiful wife
In his poor pathetic life
And for the first time ever
I stand in awkward silence like in forever
Couldn't run nor couldn't hide
One knock at his door and open wide
Lay the hidden secrets this man never told
But his wife is bold
Having the upper hand
It is I, the unsuspecting mistress, sinking fast in her white sand
As my heart dropped down to the floor
"Come in!" She invites
And I stand no rights
"He isn't home," she says
As I feel myself less
So we sit at her dining room table
And I wonder how she must have me labeled
Two women waiting for this man to come home
With every turn of the page, my heart does groan
Here we are at an unexpected turn
As the guts in my stomach churn
Never knew he had a beautiful wife
In his poor pathetic life
And for the first time ever
I stand in awkward silence like in forever
Couldn't run nor couldn't hide

Lay the hidden secrets this man never told
But his wife is bold

The Necromancer
“My dearest, death will not keep us apart,
Neither heaven nor hell will put distance between us
For my heart will surely resurrect our love
Past these days and throughout the ages…”
He said the words with conviction
As he caressed and kissed her lips.
“My love”, she uttered in an angelic tone
“This body is only but a vessel of emotion
That connects me to you in this world,
Be with me one more time so we can be as one
And release the life force we have shared these days.”
He loved her over and over again
Until he was spent and satisfied
But her body was already cold
Her eyes already closed
And he swore to himself
He would summon on all his power and knowledge
Of the dark arts and bring her back to life.
And he collapsed next to her on the floor…
In the morning his supervisor discovered them.
He was arrested within hours and her body
taken back to the coroner’s office for additional inspection.
At his trial, he swore that he was trying
to bring them all back to life and that he had
the ability to resurrect them.
We voted unanimously and he was given
ten years in a mental institution.

Scimitar Bride
'Twas night before is when I saw you there
deep in the crowd at my place where you looked
like you were lost and no one knew your name.
I recognized that you would be my bride
with I as host to such a prized event,
and I would make you mine in blooded own.
I never cared for made-up vanity,
the blondness of your hair had sable roots,
your bite was fixed, your wisdom teeth removed.
A bump was taken off your Roman nose,
your thighs were lipo'd, and your tummy tucked
but all I wanted with you was... to fuck.
My way was nothing like you'd ever known,
I blew your mind and then I cut your soul.
The way I loved you with my scimitar
was from its blade to bare your heart to me.
And with your final gasp, the flowing gore,
the last time you saw me was night before.

Breathe
I don't have much to say
nowadays
weightless words, mull
from bare branches
lulled of burdens
blossoms fall
pretending not to know
anything.
Questions linger
in the palm of our hands
folded in quarters and halves
with the same quotidian pall
grey and dull
negotiating death
in curve of the day, and
I watch you shift in your skin
loose and aloof
with fading irises
waiting for color of pain.
Everything's agreed upon
in silence
oppressedly
sinking in ocean's bed
tangled intangibles
together; yet, apart
beneath cloudless air.
We speak in whispers
not to stir the dust, viscid
settled gutless sediments
on furniture and broken flowers
heavy and ancient
unhurried moments in fluid hours.
Desire nestles in sorrow
speckles of the past
mine, yet; not me
the coffee currents
flow in my tongueless mouth
cold and placid
I don't have much to say
but
breathe.

Hi Johnny, and the latter thing you said is what happened to me when I posted my entry on this thread: it never showed up on th latest Forum list. And a day or two before that in another comp the same thing occurred.
What's also strange, the host for this comp is showing as Anonymous, but snuggle is an active member.

The host appears to be serving a ban, the length of which is unknown. The original post is rendered invisible, causing Snuggle's to appear as the first. Everything should return to normal when the ban expires, whenever that may be.
