Riding the current
There's no night like tonight
They're all different
I went out there
I could taste the air
The power lines buzzing
I became part of the current
Like I knew exactly what was supposed to happen
So when the pig ran the stop sign and nearly ran my ass over,
my heart didn't skip once
I watch the man across the street watch me
He's plugged in too
We're both riding the current
It's not paranoia
It's just being on
Connected by the eyes
The eyes flash like knives
In the 7-11
I watch the man behind the counter ...

Life Lessons
The year was 1986
I did not know gazing out my tenth-floor apartment building window I would see my future. I was only thirteen at the time and restless.
There he was. I knew his name because all the girls talked about him as if he was a famous person and they all wanted a piece of him.
I was different. My mother and sister were sitting in the living room watching television when I told my mother, “I’m going to marry Gio one day.”
My mother immediately told me to get away from the window and stop talking nonsense about marriage.

Elizabelle the series
I hear her quietly entering
it is Elizabelle, my vampire girl
seeking in the mortal realm
she observes from afar
tasting the deserts of the season
a fascination she sees
while tending to her studies, she dreams
lilting in the energies
the powers that be surround her
uttering hush now girl, behave yourself
it will not be
a precarious child of the night
she looks about the place
with eyes shining full of hope she spies
touching midnight's visions
she copes with the day
groomed to be an immortal...

YOU CAN'T MAKE SOMEONE SEE
You really want to know what is truly insanity when you deposit into, someone else and theology within the mist of the trails and tribulations. We find ourselves lost within an imaginary fantasy of what life, and love really isn't to the mind and heart and soul. To someone who doesn't value themselves, thinking that knowone can love them just because of the hand life had deal to them. But amongst the confusion of trying to love them, with the process of the pain and hurt sometimes suffering you decide to continue to stand and stay with them even with this, heavy upon your heart with silent...

Serial quitter
Now that she was calmer,
she looked at the sun
and decided to walk away from there.
She felt unobserved,
as if her existence had no
any greater interest to any other being.
She found that silence strange,
nothing in the air or coming from the nearby forest,
she didn't associate all this with the absence
of songs and chirps in the hot afternoon.
She remained distracted...
Without even noticing that the path
was paved with thousands
and thousands of heads ripped off from birds.

Drive
From the Walternate Universes
Delta – 2.0
I had taken a day off from work
There was a lot to think about, to plan and write
I was home alone with nothing but time
When a familiar portal opened nearby
It was my old amigo, my (W)alter ego
Spinning a set of car keys on his index finger
“Bro” I said as we hugged, he smiled and said…
“Let’s go for a drive”
The portal led to a barnlike garage
The sight in front of me left me speechless and stirred
As I walked around the car the top automatically came...

8 people, 1 cup ( multiple collab see authors note)
After not hearing from Miranda Wright for several days, her family reported the petite 28 year old woman missing.

The police had gone through everything in her house as well, but found no signs of struggle. Miranda's brother noticed that the odor seemed to increase when he went toward the couch. Something told him that he should lift up the cushion. As he lifted up the cushions, he stood there in shock, seeing a...

String It Up…
In the calling of the winter of discontent
No soul shall smite on Earth soil in the pursuit of relent
The demoness has asked for the calling of her destiny, her devil's due
To the cross as the carcass of her shall hang, the blood drained, unto the rite of her own stew
Upright the garlic cross
Place a garlic crown upon its head and face her to the rising of the Sun
This is a request from the Hebrew Queendom
Make sure you secure the garlic nails
This is what she has asked for to be redeemed back to Hell
Turn the cross...

She At The Abyss
t'was those restless nights..
you remember yes?
remember the silent howling
...that hawkish moon
the tossing..turning
the inner chambers churning..
in sweaty trepidation of
the visitors
...
your panorama of parasites..
here to commune with the dwarfish
incubus clawing beneath
your agitated flesh
...
come my darkened lover..
never mind them
allow me to secret you away
submerge...

Through the long grass came a Ghost
Through the long grass came a Ghost
Crowded at my window tonight, your ghosts will have nothing to speak of but love.
Tough the long grass leading to my door is parted, not by you leaving or by you coming here. The same ghost keeps in with my blood, the way
a small name says itself, over and over, one minute it is cavernous to the next, and I cannot locate words enough to tell you your wrist.
On my breast had the same two sounds to it you are a sky over narrow water and the ghosts at my window are a full day until I shed their loss I want to tell...
