Haiku VI
(TERROR)
Onyx night looming
The shadows' breaths shriek madness
Escape now vanished
( . . . .And from ALL those other "ghoulies, an ghosties, and long-leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night...." *
wellll....they will find you.... trust me! Bwahahahahahaha!!!)
* (~~ From an old Scotish(Celtic?) prayer of obscure origin)

Haiku V
Leaves russet clinging
Grasping branches' fingertips
Wind's sneeze sets them free

ANISOPTERA
(Jasper's Dragon(fly)
Rainless leaves,thistledown,
Created practically of nothing,
but of substance quite enough'
To be extended eyes, reflecting Life,
And two translucent emerald twigs
To be perfect perpetual motion--
Ravenous, insatiable hunger,
Grappling love.
Unencumbered by Earth's confinements,
Transcendent link between Air and Water,
Light touches wing to shift fragmented patterns--
Irridescence on prismatic lace--
Carnivorous twice-born predator;
You splinter into heat.
Swiftness, eluding...

DISGUISES
Mirror, mirror
On the door,
Who was I
The day before....yesterday?
Inspired by the poem, "Unmasked". (Thank you jagracia!)

Haiku...III
ADRASTIA
Harsh screams pierce the night
On your breath I taste the blood
She has claimed your soul
Author's Notes:
Just for fun, I entered this piece in the Haiku Competition.
Adrastia means 'inescapable.'

Haiku
Crystallized soul thaws
Twilight ice in heart's sunset
Pain drips on your smile

Entered in Haiku Competition
Soft grey clouds crying
Sunbeams consoling day's grief
In prisms sky smiles

POWER PLAY: Avenge/Revenge
("You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way...the
o n l y way...it does NOT exist." ~Freidrich Neitzsche.)
P l e a s e...
Could you--
For just 2 seconds--
Stop all your wheezing?
Then, perhaps there would be a chance to explain.
You told me you adored(or, was that abhored?)the comfort
Of my arms enfolding you in lust...in love.
So, my Belov`ed, I have a surprise for you!
I have laced my hands together in knots;
Snapped every fragile little finger--
One-by-one--splintered all those tiny phalanges-- ...

Clock-tick...
Latch-click...
You're g o n e !!
****
Fingertips of night smudging, smearing ebony gloss streaks
Down dusty, grimy glass--
Swallowing your spectral image
In the tainted glow of neon-rainbow billboards.
A twenty-first century Lancelott, you don your callousness and
And self-loathing like a tarnished suit of armor
On a chivalrous quest to save two-hundred-dollar Nocturne Ladies
From drug primed pimps...
T H E M S E L V E S...
But---n o t from you!! ...

"Psycho"-Therapy ??
"Psycho"-
Gazing with glazed eyes,
I watch the valium visions
of endless ebony dragons kiss the molten sky--
feel the earth stretch, and yawn,underneath my feet.
Writhing within my skull,
I am tortured by the feasting
of the translucent, conqueror worm--
that will never slumber, that can never die.
Every night--all night--as through a violent storm,
I hear incessant, indistinct voices calling--
shouting out my name upon the wildly whimpering wind,
while the monsters and the demons destroy my guilty mind....
