Linda came home from partying.
Someone turned the lights off on her.
Her corpse was found slashed.

Crimson Floods
A slit throat—
blood trickles,
escaping in tides.
Will they notice
before the crimson floods
sneak from beneath the door,
staining their shoes?
Likely they’ll wipe them clean,
and live on.
Until a week later,
when the scent of rotting flesh disrupts,
creeping into their lungs.
They’ll burn it all,
sweep and mop the floor,
cleanse the world of the remnants,
and live on.

The woods in December
Many’s the time I’ve looked your way
Screaming wildly, so desperate to be heard
The rain hits hard, scoring my face
Memories betray me for yet another time
Take hold of me tonight
Squeeze me tight for the last time
And run into the trees
Don’t look back
I will love you to your eventuality
Then you will find life’s peace
Under soil, you shall rest
We will be together in daydreams
Every time it rains my skin will burn like sores
I will gladly hide in the shadow of the woods…
…. waiting for another you
Screaming wildly, so desperate to be heard
The rain hits hard, scoring my face
Memories betray me for yet another time
Take hold of me tonight
Squeeze me tight for the last time
And run into the trees
Don’t look back
I will love you to your eventuality
Then you will find life’s peace
Under soil, you shall rest
We will be together in daydreams
Every time it rains my skin will burn like sores
I will gladly hide in the shadow of the woods…
…. waiting for another you

Choose your favorite dumpster
Forget the funeral
Place the body in a dumpster
Saves you money
I chose the dumpsters behind Old Navy & Michael's
Most of their garbage is fabrics, soft materials and other plush & cozy things
I want my family member to have a relaxing stay inside one of these dumpsters
I'm always thinking of everyone but myself
You won't have to see all those relatives that you hate
You won't have to fake being upset
Let the public sanitation engineers worry about it
You've got it hard enough
Besides, who needs all that strenuous bullshit ...

Time For Lunch
These 4 pigs found the body of a 11 year old girl
She was strangled & mutilated at the nearby park
There was no witnesses or evidence except a radio flyer wagon near the girls body
The 4 pigs began brainstorming, thinking what they should do
The 20 year veteran said,
Let's take this child, the radio flyer wagon and go door to door
The rookie placed her mangled corpse into the wagon
From there, they began walking the neighborhood
The rookie cop had the honor of wheeling the wagon
Her lifeless body, bouncing around like some used & abused rag...

Love Lasts Forever
A cold December night
It changed his whole life
She'd not been long his wife
But in that night she died
Helpless - he stands there all alone
Lonely - a long hard way to go
When they first met the angels sang
It was love at first sight
Her lovely smile, her happiness
Will never leave his mind
He loved to dance with her
The plans they've had are over now
He can not hold his tears
He tries to go his way somehow
But he's to sad to bear
He can not forget her
In some nights he can find no sleep ...
It changed his whole life
She'd not been long his wife
But in that night she died
Helpless - he stands there all alone
Lonely - a long hard way to go
When they first met the angels sang
It was love at first sight
Her lovely smile, her happiness
Will never leave his mind
He loved to dance with her
The plans they've had are over now
He can not hold his tears
He tries to go his way somehow
But he's to sad to bear
He can not forget her
In some nights he can find no sleep ...

It's not over when you lose
From within the inner vibes of my life, 🤔 I had to come to accept what my life, has and will become for with each reason. I had to fight back with MY OWN strength and courage as my.personal devil's.😈 Be standing in the darkness, as they hide behind a mask. THAT entered into the deepness of my life, as well as my body and mind. 😞 For sure I remember that day as if it just happen yesterday, 🤔 when my whole life changed right before my own eyes 👁️ 👁️ For I remember that moment when the pain became to hard to 🐻 and sleepless...

A Friend's One Christmas Nightmare
Eric saw Santa opening gifts.
One gift contains his wife's naked corpse.
He saw Santa's a skeleton.
One gift contains his wife's naked corpse.

Lady Fancy R.I.P. ( A tribute )
I knew Lori as well anyone knows someone whom they've never met but knew so well..
She was on DUP at the same time I was but we never crossed paths until we did.
Ironically we worked at the same company in the city but did not know each other then.
Had we known each other then we surely would have had drinks downstairs in the bar where everyone went on Friday nights...
That brings us to DUP.
I think she commented on one of my poems and I back and then another and that went on for awhile. Till one day I posted a painting with one of my poems and then it was...

Rest Softly, Lori
In the rain of your eyes,
Ocean spray bursts up towards heaven
falling back with tears as leaves of a tree.
Love flew out of your mouth in hieroglyphics
like an invitation to a sky wedding
writ on the wrists of kites.
Dawn ghosted,
as a ship’s prow through windows
tangled in curtain rigging
in the way silence enters an empty room
sunrise gallows hang
heavy in your absence.
Tightrope of lips
taut between our secret space
and pavement cracks where rain survives.
Hands prayed down to the...

Dead
My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.
