Chaos takes the stage,
Order dissolves in the din,
Fury unleashed now.

My garden plots my demise
Haunts me like a living soul
The care I give is appreciated, yet expected
Each time I weed takes a toll
When it's time to prune
All hell breaks loose
The clods grow stones to throw and wound
The ears of corn hear all that I say
They stalk me, following every which way
The sly potatoes sprout eyes to spy
And the others sharpen their spears to slay.
As I sweat with tools through the rows and rows
I hear the whispered names they call
I know the slang they use , ( crying, "hoe!")
Meaning a loose woman and I'm appalled !
Hell hath no fury, when all Hell breaks loose,
Yet come Hell or high water, I’ll press on regardless,
For the sheer Hell of it, though I'm as hot as Hell.
I'm Hell bent, I'll fight like Hell, with all Hell to pay,
Having a Hell of a time, raising all Hell on earth,
On the road to Hell and back again, until I get the Hell outta here,
Then, Hell will freeze over, and Hell's bells will ring and chime,
Leaving me stranded, between the devil, and the deep blue sea.
Always great fun at an intersection
With only a four way stop
You start, he starts, it's him no it's me
Nose to nose, where's a cop
You glare, he glares, nothing's solved
It boils down to a battle of wits
Like kids arguing over a colourful toy
“That's mine! No, it's mine!” and you sit
Even the ear shattering sound of horns
Has no effects on this yahoo!
All hell breaks loose, 8 guys get out
And a bloody fist fight ensues!
Standing back I watch the proceedings
Grown men acting like jerks
Get back in my car, I drive around it all
It's not worth being late for work
Four way stops are becoming quite rare
In this fast paced world we live in
Four way stops are now being replaced
Coz nobody's willing to give in
I need only two things
Every day after school
Silence and solitude
To replenish my batteries
To rev my engine, so I can return to work tomorrow
Refreshed, eager, ready to give it another try
My husband loves solitude
He relishes it
He revels in it
He can entertain himself daily
He entertains our dogs too
The only one he refuses to entertain is Shark
Shark is our cat
Shark is older now
Raccoons have invaded his outside space
So I have locked him into my office
Giving him solitude
Everyone gets solitude here except the dogs.
The pony horse dog follows the crotchety old lady dog
In and out, around and through, all day long
There is lots of silence too.
Until a Prime delivery truck arrives
Then all hell breaks loose.
bagram airfield july 2010
hushed ether of morning
huddled guardian warriors, arms aligned
early call to prayer sounds the blood to chill
arrives the entry check point white linen under issued desert garb
a steely eyed airman quick witted and quicker with sidearm
all hell breaks loose and all age 30 years in one hot minute
roses and rainbows
unicorns and uniforms
lanyards covered with teddy bears and hearts
everything sunny and happy here
until the pretty pediatric nurse takes out her stethoscope
When all hell breaks loose
Is that what you think?
Is that what you know?
Stories you've heard, time passed and consoled.
Moments ended in a blink of an eye,
All Hell breaks loose hoping you'll die.
A blurry silence,
But an extremely loud pain,
Driving you crazy,
Leaving a stain.
All things good, gracious and true,
Falling before you, bleeding you through.
I raise my hands up to Heaven above,
Fists shaking, with conviction and love.
What have I done?
Did I do something wrong?
God must be furious and want me to fall.
This is it, it must be the end.
I lay down my head so I may not offend.
All hell breaks loose, no rhyme or reason
The question is WHY... matters not the season
A bright sunny day
For jumping in the hay
There's still potential for yelling and screaming
My day has just begun,
and it will be amazing.
It will be terrific!
It'll be wonderful!
It'll be the best day ever!
I will capture a dream
today!
I will soar high today.
I will not let anything,
get me down today.
I will lend a helping
hand today.
I'll release positive
energy today.
I'll let joy fill my soul
today.
I'll laugh just because
today( And I didn't go
bonkers I promise).
I will walk with my head
held high today.
Sometimes(often) we
must speak and say
positive things,
Declare what type of
day you want to have.
The power of the spoken
word is effective.
It will sustain you when
all hell breaks loose.

The Hitman
His blood runs cold as he walks through the fire. But he knows it’s not a game, he’s just a gun for hire. Watching every move like a black widow spider. He knows he’ll never be the man he was before. He throws back a shot as he waits for his mark. He’s been to the edge and he knows the score, maybe this time it’ll be the end, but tomorrow there’s always just one more.
With only a picture and only a name, and cold blue steel as his tools of the game. He’ll hunt you down and it’s not for the fame,
It doesn’t come easy, but the money’s all the same.
Not wanting to know the reason why. It all comes down to money on the line. With a glint of steel from a Colt .45, all hell breaks loose in the blink of an eye. Bullets come fast as bodies hit the floor. But his aim is true as the trigger is pulled, and he adds to his list of just one more.
He never bats an eye as he walks out the door, no one knows why, but they’ve seen it before. Memories are lost, the moment is gone. No one seen anything is the way it’s got to be. To stay alive here is to never play along.

What`s going on
Watching TV flicking from channel to channel is surreal,
one moment a casket is lowered into
a perfectly dug grave, umbrellas go up as fine rain falls
The next moment is about men riding horses
that have no idea what is going, the riders have been
on their mounts for days and must be stinking.
The next is about some old detective who is solving
crimes that are surprisingly easy to unravel.
Back at the graveside after false tears have been shed
all hell breaks loose who is getting his priceless
album of rare stamps and more murders are committed.
In the meantime, the riders are having a bath in a river
fully clothed in leather and armour. The horses are just staying there looking beautiful and dumb.
I switch off the telly and drink a glass of beer.
Love finds itself fading away. "In the Heat of the Night" sweat from your inner possessions In the heat of the night.
Sympathy sets in like a thief in the night awaiting at gun point leaving no room for escape.
Exhausted, crushed as if depression has caught up as one sinks down low with moments of valleys and peaks that lead to episodes of disappointment & pleasure like a enemy who enters...
"In the heat of the night" leaving unreal illusions of maybe so, are just laughter with no room for escape.
It hurts so bad, inferior, second rate, unpleasant, unwelcome and unfavorable.
In the heat of night all hell breaks loose.
It's like a forbidden fruit, the taste of rotten legacy in the pit of your stomach as it's juices run down the frontal part of a naked body lost & alone poisoned by the forbidden fruit.
It's in the heat of the night that the forbidden fruit comes ALIVE...
just to be faced with reality of truth.
Days enter days amidst living
Weeks drift in constant flow
Thrown to times endless tick
Eroding breaths it's blow
Moments of bliss in highlight
Captured by glorious clutch
Then all hell breaks loose
Crimson caress, evils such
Such eruptions between pacification
Obliterates strewing strife
We then all become it's victims
Drowning in the currents of life
A lion's roar can be heard five miles away
Same as when a wife suspects a roll in the hay
The strong smell of booze
An investigation ensues
All hell breaks loose and things decay
