Rootless lifes
So many young men are fatherless
- I wish they just could put their guns down
They think their fighting for their lifes and family
but in reality their fighting for their death, ends up leaving their kids behind
So many young men don't value their own lifes
- I wish they could put their anger away,
Learn to live in peace with themselves
But they have learned to revenge and never forgive
It's a tragedy, everyday when I go out my door
- I reminisce everyone whos murdered on this street
By the drive by's and...

Summer Tragedy
Dog days of misfortune! Curses be fortune!
Sultry affliction beside the seaside’s beautiful fiction!
Shipwreck on the beach, for some a vacation of death!
This bottleneck constricted by the heat of my turtleneck.
Oh, I sweat in hope of the coming doom – so, so soon!
The catastrophe of lightning brings the agony of chastity!
So, to you my good beach goers, embrace the tragedy!
Sultry affliction beside the seaside’s beautiful fiction!
Shipwreck on the beach, for some a vacation of death!
This bottleneck constricted by the heat of my turtleneck.
Oh, I sweat in hope of the coming doom – so, so soon!
The catastrophe of lightning brings the agony of chastity!
So, to you my good beach goers, embrace the tragedy!

Twisted Rose
She is the rose who bled for love but lost her true self in the fantasy of the dream of the blood pages he promised her but never came in the form of happy endings in tales she thought was real. For it appears her towards being happy has become madness for this rose been reborn who turned black and grown thorns and bleeds black oil from a heart turned cold and ice even her friends of the night finds twistedly nice. For she left her soul to die in the desert where her tears dries up before it reaches her lips of sweet color of dark coals for comfort only to be denied. For the poets she once...

Prompt: Hungry Fire
For my writing class I had 90 seconds to go off this prompt. No rules except using our senses and going where it takes us. I rather like how it turned out.
Scorched Earth, wheezing and choking. The hungry fire forges through, rapidly spreading like a fever. Emblems shimmer through the air, if not for tragedy, one could marvel in awe. But a ravenous appetite; so grim, so ghostly. Whistles escape the moisture withering into thick air. Screaming mother, she cannot protect her young. We taste the salt of her ash & tears in the winds blowing over town.

Open Fire
The first one broke the window
The sound of the fire alarm emits over the shrieks and squeals
Shards of glass are flown around the atmosphere
Oh dear, oh dear it’s like violent fireflies
Out for blood and out to crush
But one fire just wasn’t enough.
A second wave of retribution and repulse whirls toward the door
Leave, leave now
Before it’s too late!
The bone to pick with the local bully
Ended up telling the messiest of stories.
Number three went down like a domino
With a bang and a scream
This is no fucking dream...
The sound of the fire alarm emits over the shrieks and squeals
Shards of glass are flown around the atmosphere
Oh dear, oh dear it’s like violent fireflies
Out for blood and out to crush
But one fire just wasn’t enough.
A second wave of retribution and repulse whirls toward the door
Leave, leave now
Before it’s too late!
The bone to pick with the local bully
Ended up telling the messiest of stories.
Number three went down like a domino
With a bang and a scream

Nuclear Outbreak
A chain of smoke sailing in the sky,
Graphite coffin covered in myth inside.
A story that hides in serenity,
A sacrophagus that disrupts reality.
Manmade accident
Splits strings apart.
Municipal Wasteland
Population assault.
Radiation measurement
As if nothing happened.
Radioactive knowledge
And a cry of distress.
People taken away for plague treatment,
Poison spreads and reveals itself.
Spiral helix begins to reform,
A force eats away life every dawn....

If Only
I never could have dreamt up
How misleading this world could be
Or how knotted and twisted that life becomes
Like some eerie and haunting old tree
In my youth, often times, I would marvel
At how strange and amazing life is
Pondering things to which there's no answer
Like the reason in which we exist
I've witnessed it said through the ages
By those who've been both young and old
"If only I could go back, do it over,
While knowing all it is that I know."
My mind becomes plagued with these words
If only......if only,...
How misleading this world could be

The Plutonian Shore
One day we all go to the Plutonian Shore,
Rich men and poor men no matter what they adore,
Young fresh out the womb or old reminiscing days of yore,
Peaceful demise or a demise of gore,
All mortal beings no matter the tallest heights or the deepest trenches we all will hit the floor,
Where the light goes out and eternal darkness in a void of nothing all will enter that back door,
Life creates her beings brings them into this world when the clock strikes death welcomes souls into his hall everyday in galore,
When our time runs up we walk into deaths skeletal...

Dream: One Tight Night Will Cure Thy Blight
Squirt the groundswell, but keep it a secret.
( sabateurs and other lightweight threats,
are emerging from corners).
Beware
the widow woman wrapped in black.
Offer no resistance. She'd be booked to board
the TITANIC, but mistakenly hopped the the OLYMPIC
(as all them StarLine tubs looked the same her).
Then was the figure of the mighty Jack Johnson.......
"And they wouldn't let Jack Johnson on board. They said:
this ship don't haul no coal, Fare the well, Titanic, fare-thee-well."
