Throwback of a Creative Past
DIRGES AND TEARS (A collaboration by Soul & Grace)
Torturous, this wears wet
bleeding out loss in life
be it not draining and soaking
hung out drying
watching sunrises
stead the settle, knowing
this, fills the hours
there, no holding it back
rolling thunderous black cloud
what keeps thee free being,
wracked by its wrath
Dirges and cries of sorrowing hearts
Of those that strew the petals of roses
Upon the mile that stretches far
To the garden where none astir
Where hearse move over fallen tears ...

The Many Faces Of A Seductive Sorceress
Until the calling of night
Let the Sorceress reflection mirrored
Enticing souls in flight
Unto the soothing voice
Whispers of seduction felt
As a handsome Knight who shall gallop unto my rapture and sweetly surrender

Lament Of The Forsaken
In moonlit halls where shadows weep
A heart once full now lost in sleep
Her touch like fire now cold as stone
Her love once pure forever gone
He waits amidst the hollow night
A soul consumed by endless plight
For love that burned then turned to ash
A dying flame a bitter crash
The roses bloomed where she had stood
Their petals dark with signs of blood
And though he calls his voice a plea
She’s but a ghost in memory
Her eyes once bright with whispered dreams
Now haunt the world in shattered seams ...
A heart once full now lost in sleep
Her touch like fire now cold as stone
Her love once pure forever gone
He waits amidst the hollow night
A soul consumed by endless plight
For love that burned then turned to ash
A dying flame a bitter crash
The roses bloomed where she had stood
Their petals dark with signs of blood
And though he calls his voice a plea
She’s but a ghost in memory
Her eyes once bright with whispered dreams
Now haunt the world in shattered seams ...

Mirror Tango Twists of Kitty & Fang the Clown
Mirror Tango Twists of Kitty & Fang the Clown
(Concept by Dan Stafford
& Dialogue by John Hindle)
Kitty and Joke live in an alternate universe on the other side of a set of fun house mirrors in a creepy carnival.
Kitty tells Joke, “Hey this place is creepy, like the fun house mirrors at the amusement park I went too as a kid. The reflections in the looking glasses look like my multiple personalities.”
“Who are those other ladies in your psyche?”
“Let me introduce...

Corset and Staves
Twilight gothic voice from a grave
of the harlot's corset and staves
eyes gaze into pleasures unknown
in voyeuristic analysis of death's
body corpse of a puppet on stone
from insomnia's noir of pale lips
fertilizing the red worm's roe
from the flesh of decadent smile
of the harlot's corset and staves
of the harlot's corset and staves
eyes gaze into pleasures unknown
in voyeuristic analysis of death's
body corpse of a puppet on stone
from insomnia's noir of pale lips
fertilizing the red worm's roe
from the flesh of decadent smile
of the harlot's corset and staves

Bleeding Blood
Upon the sharpest
Hook moon of fright
Answering the call
Of a newborn night
Summoning inside this
Rusted metal shed
Surrounded by misted
Red air of dread
Remnants of lovers
From who I just fed
Withered and brittle
Inside my stained bed
See them swirl on my
Slivered vicious tongue
Flavored screams sung
To stay forever young
Inside my painted
Bloodroom of doom
Where witchcraft and
Bloodcraft become one
Ensnared by my
Long lifeless hair ...
Hook moon of fright
Answering the call
Of a newborn night
Summoning inside this
Rusted metal shed
Surrounded by misted
Red air of dread
Remnants of lovers
From who I just fed
Withered and brittle
Inside my stained bed
See them swirl on my
Slivered vicious tongue
Flavored screams sung
To stay forever young
Inside my painted
Bloodroom of doom
Where witchcraft and
Bloodcraft become one
Ensnared by my
Long lifeless hair ...

Suicide Squad A haunting In The Castle part 1 of 2 Finale Chapter
After reading the letter from the Elder Witch, Hades waved for everyone to move out and head up to the P-INK Shoppe.
Nearing the ominous double doors of the dungeon, a slight but noticeable tremble caused a few candles and notepads to hit the floor! Wt? Viddax opened his iPad and launched his security camera surveillance app, to see what the hell was happening?
Multitudes of dark violet-purple clouds were surging and pounding the night sky surrounding the castle! “OMG! Someone screamed!” The...

Curse of the Water Witch
Pointing down past
The surface,
With which to dig,
The networks,
Flowing underneath
A bed of flowers
And the green fields,
And in the shallow,
She showed a
Vein to strike
In the layers.
Like knowing what
A grave is,
Tapped into the earth,
Calling upon the elemental,
We could quench our thirst, for
Essential life, only if
There were branches to
Cross the fields
Where trees captured the winds to
Call upon osmosis.

Microcosmos
Disasters in dross taken into impeccable
Methodology of microcosmos transcendence
Moments deem secret windows attainment
Fibre optic vision xenon transistor sites
Initiatory mechanism placement in place
Institutional everything as integration
Gleaming monad at the height of the depth
Circumference of realization is the way
Everything is duality paradox quantum
Pathway is wonder in mechanical moves
Craft interplays in the interface of place
What was made shall be remade to invade
Solitary outsider mind in states of...

This Stuff of Nature
When I see these
wooden beams,
that wooden trap
those hempen strings,
this stuff of nature,
these all seem
innocuous, such
innocent things,
when kept in any
Chandler's store,
but make folk dead
and crowds roar,
gallows fashioned
by lynching law.

Wake Up From That Nightmare Screaming With Fright
After taking a shower,
Gail walked over to a
mirror, dropped the
towel and stared at
her naked reflection
before seeing Robert
creeping towards her
with a sharp knife
which made her wake
up from that nightmare
screaming with fright.
