Haunted
had my oldest recurring nightmare last night (circa late 1960's) but it got upgraded! it was more terrifying than ever, wave goodbye to Hammer House of Horror, and move on to Steven King +, awoke at 4:45 this morn and wrote it down....(needs editing) "recurring nightmare from aged 12 from 'haunted' house we lived in" i return as an adult for the first time, and it is desolate, and looking a bit ramshackle, but the negativity is still alive, and intensifies as i make my way upstairs, gripped by fear, as i enter the soul of this dream. the top two attic rooms were always the problem,...

Lost
It's been a very reasonable day, just a light shower or two
walking along these country lanes, round each corner, a different view.
But it's getting late now and darkness will soon be here
there's a haunting sound from the wood nearby, I hope it's nothing to fear.
I know I should be thinking of making my way back
and I really did think I was on the right track.
And yet, wherever I seem to look and wherever I seem to roam
I just can't seem to find my way back home.
I've climbed to some higher ground now, such a wonderful view
I can...
walking along these country lanes, round each corner, a different view.
But it's getting late now and darkness will soon be here

HERE (visceral revisited)
I shiver with a fever.
The deep-throated sound
of drones menace
as they hover near a sickbed.
It’s gonna be a long one,
I can’t tell.
I close my eyes, but
there’s no chance to sleep.
And it’s like I’m not here
as I sit up, groggy and cold,
while flames
leap from my head.
Hospital socks on my feet.
The nightshirt clings,
anonymously,
and the IV drip runs dry.
Every inch my body...
The deep-throated sound
of drones menace
as they hover near a sickbed.
It’s gonna be a long one,
I can’t tell.
I close my eyes, but
there’s no chance to sleep.
And it’s like I’m not here
as I sit up, groggy and cold,
while flames
leap from my head.
Hospital socks on my feet.
The nightshirt clings,
anonymously,
and the IV drip runs dry.
Every inch my body...

Situational Depression (So Many Things Going on Right Now)
Deep is the mind,
Like the ocean you'll find,
But sometimes it's deeper than one thought,
Deep, dark, and cold, and fear fraught,
And what we access on a daily basis,
Is only the surface, we access.
We are like icebergs, floating on the surface of the Arctic Ocean,
We can only see the top layer of the psyche, just a fraction,
With the layers underneath, hidden, afraid to reach them,
Until finally confronted with them,
And not sure how to handle them.
Deep within the soul, lies a warrior,
Awaiting battle, hidden behind the...

THE SECRET POLTERGEIST
Have you ever felt eyes giving a stare
When finally all alone
Turning around but nothing is there...
Strange????
Seems it likes seeing you by yourself at home
Secluded in the moments change...
Making no importance to your chills
You want to be brave
The ghost is nothing to get scared thrills
Always have bragged of it in a grave
It's all in the mind that one feels...
You watch your late-night flick
As finally made some buttered popcorn
Everything is cool and slick
As watching a baby be born
How...
When finally all alone
Turning around but nothing is there...

Repetition of a Burnt Tongue
Half awake but still hunting for that metal taste,
Melt the iron in your blood just to mold it to the same shape,
This way you wont change when you wait for me
Why do you feel so bad when youre so lucky?
Ungrateful, with the aura of an angel
But your chakras got me blocked up i dont want ya i just need to sip on your saint flow
Catch me hoppin out your window in the night like a vampire, i dont really want her i just wanna look good when i stand by her, and i know she gon leave just before the time is right, but at least she strutting out that sky like some...

THE PAINS OF LIFE AND LOVE
To know love one must truly understand what is love from the mind heart and soul, as it comes with an equal exchange of thoughts with feelings and emotions that are shared, in moments of happiness and joy even sadness of the passing of someone that we loved as in moments of deep rooted anger leaving unanswered questions that will never be truly answered. For it can even come through moments of confusion with moments of betrayal of ones heart and soul, bringing moments of tears with hurt and pain filled with the abyss of deep misery creating fears of inner doults. For to know love we must...

The pumkin lantern
Come gather round all good children
Find warm clothes stout boots and garments
All year things remained so hidden
The screams to start a racing heartbeat
Past the church yard in the mist
Whitened bones in the earth do shift
A yearly outing creaking oh so stiff
Mother said we must counter all that stuff
For a lantern we must carve
The thirtyfirst is halloween
The biggest pumkin make a start
Scoop it out till it is clean
Fashion it with an evil gleam
Crooked teeth...
Find warm clothes stout boots and garments
All year things remained so hidden
The screams to start a racing heartbeat
Past the church yard in the mist
Whitened bones in the earth do shift
A yearly outing creaking oh so stiff
Mother said we must counter all that stuff
For a lantern we must carve
The thirtyfirst is halloween
The biggest pumkin make a start
Scoop it out till it is clean

Who Did It?
The year was 1958 as we all gathered for a special little party.
The women were dressed in fine clothing, wearing diamonds, and having a little girl talk while the men all dressed alike wearing their fedoras and slacks while laughing loudly.
Everyone was drinking and smoking, having such a good time.
There at the party was first Betsy, she was wearing a slinky, silky red strapless dress,
Her hair was short and curly and had quite a curvaceous figure on her as she resembled somewhat of Marilyn Monroe with that big, pretty smile of hers.
She was of course the younger...

The Window in the Third Floor
He feels a chill down his spine as he walks through the door. The music is loud, the air is warm and everyone seems in a trance as they dance into the night.
He has keen sense of smell and yet amidst the alcohol, the mix of colognes and perfumes that fill the air there is something different about this club. Almost everyone seems Goth, but that’s ok with him, last month he had visited a place that was country and the month before that an all 80s retro club. But he still can’t put his finger on about this place. Everyone was beautiful, dancing as the bass from the speakers...
