a single poem
a second day
another try
a better way
tomorrows promise
lets us down
a dark stone grows in your heart
soaking in the hot pool at Breitenbush
watching young lovers passing on the trail
Perseids streak across the dark skies
I’m watching you bleed
Until your insensible
I’ll show no mercy
I want you to be vanish
I spit on you thousand times
my green eyes open
pitch dark then the room lights up
a scintilla moon

demise
end Existence
takes without prejudice
with no care of after effects
ruin
I tried my hand at Cinquain.
Go Figure ??
So he actually did pull the Trigger
Just another Child Killer
Caught out by mindless Gang Violence
Disquiet alarm
Sleepless unhappiness
Bored disaffection
Fearful agitation
Despondent hostility
Hysterical loneliness
Night
draws on
Darkness wrap
around the world
like a hefty blanket,all
put head down
Hush draw out
with the
night
A dark shadow jumps
Green eyes blink gently at me...
My heart stops racing

Black Cat Haiku contest
Embrace the shadows
the sun has banished
darkness has swept in
monsters have risen
now,
it's time to feed the demons
I walk
Hand in hand
With myself
Hoping one day
I can let the
Pain from the past
Disappear
And let myself
Be whole
He had great disdain for her
Enough to eliminate
The soft parts of her
He never associated the bones
To the pale girl
Thunder, like anger, crashing in the skies above
The lightening seemingly frightening
But is in fact- lighting the way.
Killing reality,
I'm living in tragedy,
Whimpers of cries,
Catches my eyes,
Fog up my vision,
I had made my decision.
Form:
Stale waters go deep.
Sneaky double mountain peaks,
Death environment
Inspired by Raul's Morning Ambience contest
to some its a game
to some its fame
to some its bail
or ticket in the mail
for bumping and tumper
SUBWAY TRAIN JUMPER
darken red wine drink
an epistle - enclosed
for there’s not reason

I have learned less
by imitation
and more by absorption
simply letting the sun speak to me
of light and dark mysteries
Derelict tombstones lying at death’s door.

Staring at the dark
Enemies from the shadows
Paranoia draws;
Refuse its windmill fight and
Dream into tomorrow's light
dusk
is pressing
as the mist
rolls in
with the growl
of thunder
and the eyes
of Jupiter

Say hello to the
More passionate side of me,
Say goodbye as I
Unleash my dark side before
You dare leave me all alone.
in this dark mansion
phantoms of fear are vanquished
by the flames of faith

Whenever I die
I much rather they not cry.
Rather just goodbyes.
No pity, nor wonder why,
Just God opening their eyes.
Stardust lay o'ver demon who had lost a gleeman
Shadowy as nightfall, haunted like vile downfall
