Black Death
A scorpion will never face it’s own stinger. A bear will never maul itself. Why then do some men have wounds they wont talk about?
It’s not always the arrow that kills you, it’s the infection. Gangrene is a slow death, spreading slowly but surely. It loves an open wound and marches it’s death brigade ever so gradually to the heart.
The unforgiven has a unique gaze his eyes. It’s says he’s longed for the barrel of his revolver. Looking at him is like staring right through a bullet hole. And he knows the choice is simple, cut off the trigger finger that betrayed...

red-rose rush
Oh my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
Oh my luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.—Robert Burns
lack i flamboyance?
yet, am i the rose,
short-lived,
upon the altar of your
sudden pluck,
which kills
my sweet repose,
aborts my blush.
little annoyance,
that my bodyguarding
thorns
should sink their teeth
bone deep
into your flesh:
it does not cure
your red-rose rush.

Darkness Falls
Tearing everything away
Leaving nothing from which to hide
Raw nerves exposed, spasming.
Salt poured on open wounds, exalting.
In love I torture the mind,
in lust I seduce you with my agony.
Love and torment ...
impregnating, amplifying, growing in each other,
a child borne of blood and pain,
dark tendrils entwined
that tears the flesh of our souls.
The blackest secret of humanity exposed
revealing the evil in our hearts
in my need I will destroy us both
and so in sacrifice prove my...

alone in my dreams
Sometimes I drown in fantasy
A cute old house all for me
A garden kept by everyone before me
Tales written of lifetimes in the walls
And my own added to the chapters
Trees older than tripple my lifetime
My stomach hurts when I imagine it
I sacrificed my dream of it all
"Have no regrets" I constantly tell myself
Everything that happens is meaningless
Dreams are meant for when you're asleep
I'm watching time bleed through my fingers
I think of sand and glass and molten lava
And ponder upon deep stagnant waters
What would...

Serengeti Love
We raced as wilderbeast in our quest for life or death
Captures captivated, minute seizures resulting in death
With a poisonous taste on our tongue that so many had left
We prayed for both the crocodile's dying and for their health
Muddied are the streams of life as they are flooding
The deterring detergents of existence are pulsing and white water blooding
Get with the pain I need it savagely sharp and intense
I need to feed from the destruction, I need the piles immense
Please interweave bodies with disease, mud packed with hated seed ...

Dance of the Witch
I descend from a rickety wooden shack in search of the blood moon's blessing.
Death follows as my ashen feet tread wooden meadows.
A black cloak envelops my gaunt frame.
This cursed blade of captured souls shall be my faithful messenger to the meek.
Sloping hills give way to a quaint hamlet as jagged teeth gnash in hateful fervor.
The smell of the innocent trembles as though they know of my sinful approach.
Chanting incantations, my form hovers over their homes in menacing silence.
Peering through solid structures as my victim is found

Staff bearer mouth speaks/ I Voluspa
reviving
my celestial corpse
roused from silence
who was it
asking wiser
than dead
words
may i confess
shedding blooded tears
against burning bosom
o tree
golden sanctum oak
bring back
your talisman
wisdom
go now
into whispering voids
turn wind
sun
go now into whispering voids
knowing a death
more powerful
than winter

A Usurper Reborn in Fugue
This starry night eludes me
for darker passions become my veil
sidelong and ever staring
behold the sight of one so cold
A usurper adorned with snow
for winters kiss I sold my soul
upon bruised lips and eyes glossed over
blessed frost to star their own
Of constellations shyly wanning
silence slowing the dawns mourning
destroy all in veneration
what is rebuilt shall fall once more
for darker passions become my veil
sidelong and ever staring
behold the sight of one so cold
A usurper adorned with snow
for winters kiss I sold my soul
upon bruised lips and eyes glossed over
blessed frost to star their own
Of constellations shyly wanning
silence slowing the dawns mourning
destroy all in veneration
what is rebuilt shall fall once more

A Little Detour
tired eyes with smokey eyeshadows
lips painted red, pouting
Angelina mini Jolie
wannabe
little brown girl
passing alabaster
weep
girl
covid done me wrong
lost my job
my baby daddy gone
my pantry's empty
my child got nothing to eat
pushed up bra
pushed mamny out
crushed cleavages
drawing drools
from both end
eyes staring, greedy
nodding birds like feeders on sand
fists on dollars
Say, hey let's play
Weep
girl
your bed will be warm tonight
you'll have...
lips painted red, pouting

nodding birds like feeders on sand
