Poet Introduction
Inspired by life, literature, love and music.
In the Prison of the Crawling Dead
(From The Defiant Heart)
It was a prison, it was a village,
It was a place for death and decay,
Where those punished by the law,
Came to live out their last days.
The government had a new decree,
But it was really a severe death sentence
To take away everything they had,
By removing their limbs and senses.
Right after the courts found them guilty,
To the butchers they were slated,
And within three days of their verdicts,
Eyes, tongues, arms and legs…all amputated.
Then the real agony began…

Yzybyl the Witch
Yzybyl the witch
The bitch,
Is a cunning stunning sorceress and a mischievous girl,
She’d put spells in which
You’d itch
To fall in love with her like she’s the only one in the world.
But Yzybyl the witch
Would switch
And make you do things you’d never thought of or done before,
You’d find yourself bewitched
No hitch,
Because her plan was to always have you come back for more.
And Yzybyl the witch
Would stitch
Button eyes on voodoo dolls without balls to make you do her bidding,
Suddenly you’d twitch ...

A Golden Hue (Haiku)
Over the mountains
the sun comes up gloriously

Walter's Alter Ego
Oh no! Here we go, waking up Walter’s alter ego,
You shouldn’t’ve asked for his unadulterated graded credo,
He looks mighty fine dressed up to the nines (in a tuxedo)
Now he’s about to spit some witty lines like they’re damn torpedoes.
There are not enough O’s in smooth for this dude to spell out and groove,
When a sleuth of cool verses in truth will soothe and caress you ear,
But Walter’s alter ego as far as we know comes out to free flow,
He’ll slide inside you’ll be quite wide eyed amazed with what you hear.
He’s hot stuff and speaks right off the...

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...
Neither heaven nor hell will put distance between us
For my heart will surely resurrect our love
Past these days and throughout the ages…”

The Collectors
I close my eyes when those ghosts come at me
With beautiful serrated smiles
They say they come to claim what’s rightfully theirs
Or else to another realm I’ll be exiled
I don’t want to be afraid of their tentacle embraces
Or the faces of terror I see as if I was a child
Their visages distorted, unhallowed and contorted
An alluring flow of aromatic decay
Summoning me as those debts have to be repaid
I’m unable to appeal to their kindness or grace
My soul sold for the mere pleasure of it all
In shame and horror I hide my face
...

Trials and Executions
They are quick to judge with blind anger,
They fear that which they don’t understand,
In the halls of justice the ignorance clangors,
When the words of a child can rule the land.
But in dark times they take the necessary steps,
To fight evil forces that have been raised,
And they are all fueled by the mass hysteria,
Fooled by their belief when they are just as crazed.
The righteous, like a mob of demons possessed,
Hover over the accused with law and sacred will,
Unjustly condemning as they’ve become obsessed,
Like...

The Wally Sticks
Sit back, kick back, I will tell you a story in rhyme,
‘Bout Wallyroo Ninety-Two in his prime time,
So we’ll travel back to nineteen eighty nine,
When he was just fifteen and joined the drumline.
Earlier Wally had been a “sucky" drummer,
Could not keep up the beat, it was a bummer
But over the summer he practiced real hard,
And once in high school he got his calling card.
He leaned to read music and how to play notes,
A skinny nerd who'd never been able to gloat,
He still sucked but he was getting much better,
For one day he...

Sayonara
(A Postcard from Aokigahara)
I can feel the panic setting in,
My mechanical heart beat is going faster,
Drowning in a sea of greenery I am trying,
Dying slowly after the wicked laughter.
I am lost amid the cypress and red pines,
Some of the branches have become loose,
Calling me, telling me to hang in there,
As if ghosts have prepared me a noose.
I can feel it deep in the pit of my stomach,
This is the place where my fear will disappear,
The phantom voices will finally go silent,
My fading breath is the only thing I...
