Strategy
There are always decisions to be made
Temptations loom
and resistance is futile
I choose to give in
to that which threatens only me
Save my strength
to resist
that which would spill over onto you
It's the closest to balance
I can achieve

blood and gun smoke
She stood fearless
temporarily bulletproof
gun smoke lingering
as death awaited her sacrifice
of blood freely given
a one woman army
dying for her homeland

The Long Dance from Midnight
the mountains was young as the pristine earth
in ancient times' sepia lights lustily glow
Shamans chants their songs with nature
each breath of air waking the spirits, flowed
the rhythm of gongs mesmerising
the dance of the Shamans enchanting
the shrieked answers from the mountains bone chilling
nature's spirit sings out in eerie voices
the spirits coalesced with the Shamans
a painful grouping of the supernatural
with the natural scrapping flesh to bones
as barbed wire wrapped around the mortal coil
and then they...

Mercy
The first blow ripped me open
strips of leather
with bone and glass and lead balls tied to their ends
like fingers of Satan clawing and shredding.
The second blow came quick
goat bone ripping my flesh like raw meat.
The third, fourth, and fifth came so fast
powerful numbing blows so vicious and violent
gashing and tearing skin and muscles, gouging my body
the swirling wind filling the air with the taste of iron
I want to scream, wishing it never was ,knowing it had to be.
The hurt so real,...
strips of leather
with bone and glass and lead balls tied to their ends
like fingers of Satan clawing and shredding.
The second blow came quick
goat bone ripping my flesh like raw meat.
The third, fourth, and fifth came so fast
powerful numbing blows so vicious and violent
gashing and tearing skin and muscles, gouging my body
the swirling wind filling the air with the taste of iron

Atmospheric Exuberance
Into the swirling seas,
Spiraling colors designate waves.
Light and dark imagined,
Gathering common hearts,
The rainbow's pale eyes
Landed over seven times,
Global navigation.
Denied purpose and truth,
No citation for an anomaly,
Naked human wonder.
Stability fallen,
Sensuality aloft.
Gauging the balance,
Sacrifice is forgotten,
Traded for sin.
Explore the rain,
Deep shades of depression.
Chasing the wind's voice,
Haunted...

the purity of waking
her thoughts lie
there
like diseased
shattered
shimmering
glass on the
wet floor of
this moment
time recedes
nothing there
monkey sounds
fill the air
be my discount
love sold by whip
invitation in the
outdoor markets
of Morocco
be my tribal ritual
eaten by the spears
of cruel moonbeams
be my day after
tomorrow that
never arrives
ghost wait on
my front
porch
I will go home
now
and burn the
scarecrow...

The Narcissist's Lover
The Narcissist's Lover
The world
is a snack
in a narcissist's dream,
for nothing
is ever as sweet
as it seems.
No matter
how much
is given their cause,
It always ends up
just crushed
in their paws.
Drowning
in syrup
then burning in fire,
the object
of lust
and wanton desire,
first all the acting,
all beauty
and lace,
then heartlessly cruel
with love
not a trace.

a watchman

a daughter
asked to his father
who was
guarding the buildings,,,
""papa...don't you get sleep?
n he answered,
I don't sleep
because
dreams remain awake
in your smiling eyes..."

Aztec Sacrifice
His masters tell him, “Don’t lock gaze with feminine eyes. The pit of fire lies deep and hungry like an eclipsed sun whose darkness drives both human and animal mad with black crystal visions to blind the male with the smoking coals of night.”
And the palace of his childhood dreams shakes with earthquakes from unseen fault lines of the fairer sex. Prepubescent lesson one is that female felicitation of form and gravity is evanescent as the morning mist before a summer’s day. Soft curves slope into the pits of depravity from which there is no escape. The...

Sacrifice
you can say whatever you want
I'll sell my soul to the devil
if only to protect the broken
maybe that makes me evil
using his power
but I ain't dumb
I know I'll burn up
when it's all said and done
but with each flame
is a life I'll save
picture me with a smile on my face
just know it cost me everything
I can be your hero
I can be your savior
I can hold up the world
I can get the girl
I can also be your sacrifice
the one to blame for all your pain
hurling insults my way
just know it cost me...
I'll sell my soul to the devil

picture me with a smile on my face

I can be your savior
I can hold up the world
