Eroticism of Violence
She tripped on someone’s bad idea
I suppose it hurt some
maybe she’ll let me taste the blood
and tickle the big guns
Shooting dope and wearing clown shoes
she falls on her big red nose
testifying that’s she’s dumb
behind the make up
She looks good wearing red
no need to kill her
but I might still
She slips on heels and eats some boots
so her teeth are bleeding
I want to strip away her veins
and drink pain from the flies
Malnutrition, I taste the bones
I still feel her on my tongue ...

PRISON CELL
Here I am sitting in my prison cell
No one notices; no one can tell
My body in physical form is free
But my immortal soul-the real me
Is chained and locked away
A smile I carry day after day
But a heaviness I carry deep in the soul
Where no one can see...no one knows.
The knowledge that I may have fallen from grace
Living my younger days in total disgrace
Wearying the Lord and making Him cry
Taking for granted that for me He died
It cost me nothing and He asked for nothing in return
But doing the right thing I didn't...

She Wolf
I dreamt about her so vividly
she was the one who was coming for me
eyes as intense as the fire sun
Her coat so soft and always wants to run
I would never claim this spirit of hers
the she-wolf with a coat of snow
There were times when I came home to see
She lay sprawled out on the couch you see
She gave me a look as if So what
you were not here so I was free
Then something awful happened one day
I took her to the doctor and didn't want to hear what he...

Breathless (2024)
sometimes hovering overhead -
no more breathing in -
we're the ones who after death
awaken to begin
total transformation
from who we were before
by feeling the sensation
of forever more
slipping through the universe
in a flash, a blink
for a moment to be immersed
in where we are synced
spiraling, revolving
drums beating as we spin
attuned to what's evolving
in wherever we begin
hovering overhead
as we again begin
to transform from being dead
to again breathe in...

She Wolf 2
She’s limping
This is not her
She has an open wound
Through her white fur
She’s my baby
She was never my pet
I protected her
So I took her to the vet
The looks they gave
I knew it was not good
The comfort I gave
Was to make her feel good
They took an xray
Another doctor came in
The message he conveyed
Made everything grim
Its not only the wound we see that often
It’s her heart and other organs
She is in pain, even if she does not show it
I leave it to you to decide how to...

Never Thought Myself Garbage
The distillation of my heart
leaves condensation upon my
brow, that which bled now
coagulated, a stroke of luck
Cold roll the beads downward
as so the countenance falls,
cloudless rain besets and
will not be absorbed
Though the crucifixion imagined
the nails hurt none the less
and I without a Magdalena cry
myself to sleep
The ache of bone beneath
aged flesh speaks to a well
travelled road, oceans between
us, my throat still dry
You left me to die in the desert
no kiss goodbye to...

Fated
The breathtaking twilight blooms
and doom perches on the constellations.
The formation of the shadows prophesied.
I remain agonized in this silent night.
Blight has settled into my garden.
Pardon the mess of my wilted dreams.
Screams echo still, tombed in my chest.
There will be no rest in my efflorescence.
My essence is dispirited, and I anguish.
Left to languish in mourning
as it has put a stop to my aborning hope.
Maybe I can find a way to cope without my haven,
but the ravens have come calling.

Brine Song
Priest kissed those cold clay lips
Form mutilated on battle between ships
A gift given back from grey seas
Fish and brine ate up everything below the knee
Once a man of honor, strong and bold
A warrior forged in fire and mold
He sailed beneath both storm and star
To find his fate in realms afar
A tale of powder’s burn and sabres’ flash
Of cannon’s roar and timbers’ crash
Where mortal form on reefs was dashed
And hope, like sails, to tatters lashed
The waves bore witness, fierce and grim
As bloodied waters...

And hope, like sails, to tatters lashed
The waves bore witness, fierce and grim

A Flame of Decay
O Fire, thou art a spectral breath
That fans decay to feasts of death
Thy embered kiss on flesh doth creep
In darkened halls where silence weeps
What ghostly hunger dost thou crave
To turn the strong to ashen grave?
In twisting dance, thy tendrils coil
To rend the bone and flesh to soil
Alas, the frame, in sinewed pride
Is but a pyre where worms reside
A hallowed form, so wrought in vain
Consumed, unmade by thy disdain
Thus flesh returns to dust’s embrace
Where fire leaves naught of earthly grace
An...

When She Met Archer
Here lies Miss Challenge Accepted.
“I’ll put the apple on my head.”
is what she said.
Then she hit the floor,
and could say no more.
Looks like fate intercepted.

0 - Unfinished Poetry 2
Tragic
It’s tragically tragic that you took all my magic.
I’m feeling so empty, where once I wrote aplenty,
But now I’m a memory.
A shell without thought, the sale of the century.
I’ve oversold and been bought like a Walmart racket.
No hope in brackets, just cold hard truth,
Dispensed unto you.
So seize the lightning when it strikes,
Before your heart goes out on strike.
No love to write Poetry exists in my day,
Just a fleeting illusion of what I once was.
The Wizard of Oz is dead and gone.
He’s...
