Finally Believing
Stiffened,
Petrified with shocks,
Slumbers alone, but not alone.
Shivering,
An unearthly touch; paralyzed.
Crying, the atheist prays,
For light.

His Broken Heart
His Broken Heart
Old Harlon, civil war’s lost soldier,
Recruited for another army and fell in love.
Old confederate, mystical ways,
Found on a virginial field, in death’s callous grasp.
His great prowess noted from afar,
Revered by Immortalis, antediluvian.
Ancient cult of immortals seeking,
And finding mortals on the cusp, willing to bargain.
Blood drinking cannibals, eternal,
Protection sought in exchange for immortality’s curse.
Lilith, exile of Eden, mother,
Matriarch of the Immortalis, queen...

Words Overhear in the Underworld
Words Overheard in the Underworld
Words overheard in the Underworld convention,
Fighting over muffled voices, echoing cavern walls.
Hades’ voice, or Beelzebub’s,
Querying who the apex monster could be.
A fight for first place ensued, between the raging fires,
And screams of eternally tormented, anguished souls.
Demonic voices, or vampiric,
Howling loudly with depictions of evil misdeeds.
From the darkest corner stepped an old soul, wizened,
Worn over time from the study of a new breed, humanity.
He who is banged his...

The Gravedigger
The Gravedigger
"Why are you digging an unnecessary abyss?" she asks,
"It is a grave for whom i cannot say!"
The man stands and recalls,
Too many times has given up his life,
Too many fears force him to stall.
The first cut ripped like a knife,
that does not mean so do all!
A cynical view does him his harm.
As content as he may seem,
Perhaps a look at his life would set the alarm.
A realization that there is a fear within him!
In maturity a windfall fell his way.
Not money! But another,
Which...

Hazardous Chemicals
Hazardous Chemicals
Under the eclipse, hazardous chemicals,
Spilling rain pours from blinded skies,
Besmirched water, death’s tarnish,
New life, or old life revived.
Magical dew quite grave,
Filtrates dirt on graves,
Sinks to make rise.
And they rise,
Living dead,
Life.
Life,
Now dead,
Hades too full,
Men full of pride,
Lacking life’s wisdom.
Clawing, climbing in sludge,
Putrid rotten flesh. Banned fumes,
Sockets devoid of eyes; blank, bleak.
Under the eclipse, hazardous chemicals!

Ode to Jason
Ode to Jason
Mighty masked man, hiding from evil life,
Vengeance your weapon, machete sharp,
Sheathing your knife.
Immortal body, playing mother’s harp,
Cursing those who venture forth with strife.
Cursed by those tormenting souls, lives taken.

Love Poe
Love Poe
The crow was tapping;
Tap, tap, tapping!
Rapping at the window’s core!
Whilst I was napping,
He was tapping,
And poncing bread from off the floor!
And after some furious tapping,
Awoken from my napping,
I opened up the kitchen door,
And told the crow who had been rapping,
That the bread would come…
NEVERMORE!

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
They called him, ‘Mr Bojangles.’
A fixture in the old town of New Orleans.
No one cared to ask him his name, a human mannequin.
They called him, ‘Mr Bojangles.’
Perched on a wooden stool, staring lifelessly
At life floating by. He had no story of his own to tell.
They called him, ‘Mr Bojangles,’
His swarthy skin and black eyes stared unblinkingly
From his wooden pew between the bar and the barbers.
They called him, ‘Mr Bojangles.’
Unmoved by the Mardi Gras carnival or endless parade
Of mindless...

Tall Boy
Tall Boy
Glistening water meets my eye,
But I am lost.
The darkness submerges with an eerie moonlit glow
On the murky pond.
I came to the mountains for my honeymoon.
Tartan clad wedding.
Brooding man that I barely knew but needed.
Alone on the murky pond.
My legs dangle helplessly from a felled tree,
Skimming the bleak water.
In the distance I hear him howling for me, as I sit helplessly,
On the menacing pond.
Shadows lurch gruesomely formed by twisted branches.
Resigned stillness shrouds me, ...
