Assassin
I ‘am the assassin
A contract killing tonight
Be aware of mysterious eyes
Watching you in plain sight.
Unsettling thoughts creep in
You can run but you can’t hide
Surrounded by dark alley ways
Turn around, take a look behind.
Police can’t help
No proof someone is out to get you
Protect yourself somehow someway
Racing thoughts of someone I knew.
It might possibly have been my ex
Or maybe the company I embezzled.
Too many to really know
This is going to the next level.
I feel safer now ...
A contract killing tonight
Be aware of mysterious eyes
Watching you in plain sight.
Unsettling thoughts creep in
You can run but you can’t hide
Surrounded by dark alley ways
Turn around, take a look behind.
Police can’t help
No proof someone is out to get you
Protect yourself somehow someway
Racing thoughts of someone I knew.
It might possibly have been my ex
Or maybe the company I embezzled.
Too many to really know
This is going to the next level.
I feel safer now ...

A Shadow
Haunted by a dark shiver,
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....

Wanderings
touching the aether I dare disturb
restless souls clamor for my attention
I push past them
entering the Onyx kingdom
I come into the scarlet corridor
beseeching his presence
beholden a vision
quieted in my mind
lest I hear the infernal noise
shrieking in the background
are the lowly afflicting damage
I rise in the pitch and speak
surrounded on the left and the right
I approach the throne
I am his own daughter
entertaining darkness I chant
as it is above, so it is below ...
restless souls clamor for my attention
I push past them
entering the Onyx kingdom
I come into the scarlet corridor
beseeching his presence
beholden a vision
quieted in my mind
lest I hear the infernal noise
shrieking in the background

I rise in the pitch and speak
surrounded on the left and the right
I approach the throne
I am his own daughter

Abstract
sitting in this spider web
I feel the creepy
...crawlers...
dark...
in this corner
night lurkers sing
blissed
by the Chinese tradition
waves of sound infusing
cocoon of my heart
the claw sinks in
syncs...
time relays
until
death do us part
I feel the creepy
...crawlers...
dark...
in this corner
night lurkers sing
blissed
by the Chinese tradition
waves of sound infusing
cocoon of my heart
the claw sinks in
syncs...
time relays
until
death do us part

Sleepless
i can't sleep...
shadows dance
upon my walls
...whispering
sleep disorder
messes me up
destroys me...
the darkness
surrounds me
...chokes me
ghosts from the
past come to life
haunting me...
counting sheep
for 10 years now
insomnia, i am done.

my little boat
my
little boat,
sorry
to see
that sun
go down,
now
that misty
darkness
sank
closer
to the
treetops,
i weighted
my
little boat
in a
small harbor,
the moon
overwhelming me,
i lay
awake
to watch
the stars
in their
shadowy river,
falling asleep
in my
little boat.

PAINLESS TRANSITION
carved wounds deeply bleeding
on walls of beating heart
then its broken to pieces
indifference is a knife that cuts deeply
silence is such a sincere affirmation
of unloving someone and going forward
leaving behind crumpled papers
full of meaningless poems
insults to creativity
running into the dark tunnel
hiding from other's thoughts
and darts flung by cupid, stupidly
at the other end
seeking sunlight again
the heart is calm
its wounds are healed
nothing matters
anymore
...

Pain of Darkness
Darkness stimulates
Formulating thoughts
that go into a poem
revealing fears,anger
and painful memories like
Plunging darkness
into your mind
till the shadows
completely takes
over your spirit

Thanatos
The universe is a grandfather clock
At the end of oblivion's hallway;
Steady ticking The Big Bang tock
With a doppler stellar display
Spectroscopically viewable
By an egghead orchestration
Of observation renewable...
Optical instrumentation.
Yet so silent are those rainbow beams
That I instead hear only fears
Of being deaf in all my dreams
When music rules the midnight spheres,
And as that hallway clock runs down...
Quietus gains the last renown!
At the end of oblivion's hallway;
Steady ticking The Big Bang tock
With a doppler stellar display
Spectroscopically viewable
By an egghead orchestration
Of observation renewable...
Optical instrumentation.
Yet so silent are those rainbow beams
That I instead hear only fears
Of being deaf in all my dreams
When music rules the midnight spheres,
And as that hallway clock runs down...
Quietus gains the last renown!

This Litte Piggy
This Little Piggy went to market this Little Piggy still trying to find her way back home
Where once upon a time her evil sisters and mother turned their back on her existence leaving her all alone
In her father’s eyes she never measured up
Where can a small child get love if it is not given from the crown of her generational cup
No matter how hard she tried, dysfunctional and slightly obese
Hiding her true self behind baggish boyish clothes worn down to her knees
To everyone else she was a mistake, a disgrace, now scarred face, and lack luster of no...
Where once upon a time her evil sisters and mother turned their back on her existence leaving her all alone
In her father’s eyes she never measured up
Where can a small child get love if it is not given from the crown of her generational cup
No matter how hard she tried, dysfunctional and slightly obese
Hiding her true self behind baggish boyish clothes worn down to her knees
To everyone else she was a mistake, a disgrace, now scarred face, and lack luster of no...
