Morbid Tales
When fire leaps from the northern mountain
roaring hellfire awaits
servants of sorcery
diabolical
rage on the heavens
the rites of their crosses
smashed down
the pentagram burns bright
darkness shall be eternal

Moonbeams
" There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth" - Nietzsche
I contemplate, but I'm startled and seduced.
By the bone white gargantuan moon.
In it's sedating silence,
it sweetly loomed.
Over the dark lapping waters.
In attempt to calm my silent tortures.
Clouds, the steam
of day driven dreams.
Mingle with the moon's
brightest beams.
The shallow tide boasts
a turquoise ghostly glow.
To display the corals of
haunted thoughts lodged below.
Never fear the terror of your deep. ...

night sadness
Night is the blotting paper for many sorrows.”
—African Proverb
when day tasks are done
and the world is gone
and the sun bows down his head
and the doors are closed
and tight locks imposed
and the atmosphere is dead
my spirit swells within my breast
confined against my will
because the night brings more unrest
than can my fervent quill
transcribe....

i listened
i listened,
no sound
was evident
in my ear,
the morning
was not
speaking,
he had
lost
his power
of speech
during
the night,
that unintended
spontaneous
moment
dissolving
into that
black river,
circling back,
the echo
will swarm
like rhyme,
once spoken
before.

i watch
you smile,
alive there
in
your night,
glowing like
moving waters,
the soft
and sensual
dark
holds you,
adjust
yourself
with each
thought,
of love's
fair ripening,
alluring wishes
left at
your feet.

Lost Souls Rejoicing
Here we are at the nightmare parade
after hours you hear cries in the night
the shadows fall as you witness ghosts of the midway
living dolls steal your soul
you dare to ride the haunted carousel?
calliope plays mysteriously in the foreground
the circus freaks storm the theater of sorrow
the snake charmer hypnotizes you
spellbound, you await for Madame Endora to foretell your future
the proclamation looks good
you arrive safely at home and into your bed
the next time, your fortune may not be so lucky.

Under the big top
arcane wonders mesmerize diversions in the dark
a strange menagerie of goons and greasepaint,
the snake lady and madame Zora lure you in
a freak show awaits!
at night the midway comes alive,
the carousel ride and Dr. Stein's castle of fun will enthrall you
shrieks of laughter & cries echo through the canvas wonderland
when the lights turn off, the dream you have witnessed comes to an end

Her Ghost
You were walking through the woods.
At night,searching,wearing your boots.
Trees all around you,no life to be found.
You walk a bit more on the muddy ground.
Suddenly,you hear a howl from a hound far away.
You froze in place,not sure what to say.
You expected a wolf,but found a girl instead.
Dark,blue eyes and you began to flee.
But you bumped into a nearby tree.
You looked behind you,thinking you are free.
As you fell on the ground,you saw her face.
She smiled at you and held out her hand in grace.
She helps...

a place by which i walked
i see it through blind eyes
precious shadows,
it took a moment to realize
this shortness of time,
discussed and approved
unsuspecting,
those dark fall lights,
the wind, sang to me,
uttered word for word,
a place by which i walked.

layer by layer
how
do i
undress
our night,
each layer
by layer,
first
the moon,
the stars,
and each
little bit
of darkness,
peeling it
too thin
until i
can see
morning
through
the last
amount
of its skin.

Seconds
She woke up in the middle of the night
maybe 4:35 am
she needed to pee
he then got the urge to pee
he waited near the closed bathroom door until she was finished
when she opened the door, he punched her straight into her face
she fell backwards into the shower glass doors
her body fell into the tub
she was cut severely on her leg and torso
blood was all over the shattered glass, tub and bathroom floor
a crime scene has officially happened within seconds
maybe she'll bleed to death, maybe she won't
didn't matter
he knew what he...

time passes
as days pass, going quickly,
hiding within each night
promising to return soon,
brought back with each
morning light,
give time to take a rest,
do not weep and feel sorrow
happiness is in the time we live,
brought on by another tomorrow.
