The Man in Black
A man with eyes so brown
Walked into town
A large dog in tow
Who he is no one knows
Wearing a suit of black
Carrying a gun against his back
A vest that will protect
Everyone is suspect
An absolute professional
Leaves guilt in the confessional
Never misses his mark
Both in the light and the dark
When he is near
You will know fear
Staring at you

Ma, Pet Assassin
Chubs is gravely flat.
We remove our hats.
Her wheel deflated him—
Chubs, my cuddly cat.
Flounder is lying flat,
ambling on his back.
Her croutons choked him—
Flounder, my friendly catfish.
Gopher is resting back-flat,
striking position for naps.
Her diabolical chocolate gateau
snuffed him out almost.
Gopher rose once again,
my mangy mutt, back-to-life.
Ma decried; she'd die
in a reindeer stampede

Artic Air Assassin
Blowing through my area for a few days
gust making temperature bitterly cold
rushing underneath my coat; soo bold
penetrating my layers of clothing and boots
siphoning my body natural warmth
hands throbs with pain; gloves no help
feet and face froze noticeably numb
leg bones stiffening as I continue to step
restricting my singing and dancing blood

Intimidation from Jamaican Jay Townsend Johnson Henry my assassin
You came from Jamaica
a lowly migrant climbing
into my window sending
me threats terrifying
terrorizing my children
shooting in my home
for my American poetry
devastating you held on
to my abusive ex husband
your gunman my hitman
killed at my feet just in
the nick of time I fled for
my very life

ASSASSINATION
Assassin in my entity...
Discreet is my identity.
Marksmanship of sharp precision...
Targets - victims by decision.
An unknown caller on my phone
Following ceasing dial tone.
Fast and brief, our conversation...
Extraction of information.
Our secret meeting then takes place...
Through darkness - eyes without a face.
Their speech and talk of no surprise...
Tone of their voice, I recognise.
The offering of my contract...
To off

Assassin
Killing bit of soul everyday
Is only one gun hammer click away
Hidden behind the blanketed curtain
Hidden from sight so sure of a win
And shielded force from the light of day
A murderous horde of sold out souls
Claiming blood beating fearfully cold
For crimes of unwitting imagination
Committed and unsuccessfully sold
Without communication

The Assassin Knight
I was once a reckless vagabond
Exploring the world with a brave heart and an empty hand
People fear the sound of my name
For I am wild, savage, and untamed
I’ve fought countless of battles and win them all
I’ve caused numbers of nations to fall
I’ve burned my enemies down to the ground
The swinging swords has

An Assassin of the Deep
Signal fires by the second ignite the abyss
Only an assassin of the deep that knows not to miss
Love in the universe more than defines this
Darkness is given more than a trillionth kiss
Snaking through the galaxy distruction in its hiss
Identifying as a rock it will leave a mark on this premiss
Gone will be all worries brought

An Equitable Assassin Trying To Be Nice
"An Equitable Assassin Trying to be Nice"
...he
slides the coldies
across the table,
the beer, American
not as sharp,
but slides down
quick, smoothly
clean
cold
crisp
he thinks,
lips ripe
for kissing
the prints warm
the motive missing
somewhere lost in the hallelujahs
Jacob’s Ladder
crawling with
footprints
hands, fingers
and lips
all over glass walls
Snow White
doesn’t sleep
at all, but ...
cool as a block

About Heart Attack
How do they hit us: Rude shocks?
You wait until your heart locks:
From sent clinic: the raw facts,
With God making the last parts...
Coronary a seizure,
Quite silly exact measure;
The plague you may just picture
For a straight warning lecture:
Heart attack an assassin
That strikes bases not on sin...
Sure, its a Cardiac Arrest
Working closely with unrest:
For the famous who

Let Down
Sharp pain in my side! Big reaction!
For a stabber I'll show no compassion!
I search 'neath my clothes;
Oops! No crime, I suppose
When Sir Underwire is the assassin !

Your Murderer
this city I already know
I've been dying on it since forever
I killed every bit of illusion here
I was bad and I was naive and I was good
there is no street that hasn't made me cry
the trees serve as witnesses
they saw me dodging the assassins
that finally killed my dreams
it's not that I gave up
I just got

Alliterative Assassin
While Wendy* writes with whimsy, wit,
Poor Peter pens pedantic prose.
Sonya spins sublime, sweet sonnets,
Bernardo’s ballads badly blow.
How heavenly has Heather honed,
Alas, Alicia: anguish, angst.
Tammy’s timbre: thrilling, tasteful.
Ralph’s rhymes: repeating, rarely ranked.
Seems some sing sharp, succinct, short songs;
Oft others’ odes, odd, obfuscate.
Muses marking / missing meter,
Enrapture else excruciate.

Oh That Colourful Design
OH THAT COLOURFUL DESIGN…
That colourfully designed paper that can make one insane…
Crazily sought after by young and old,
Humans live on it till they die
Always throwing men into mayhem.
Preferred above nature
Preferred above love
Preferred above the beings
Even above the universe.
Religious houses,homes,society are in trouble,
Can make you powerful with it
And hopeless without it.
A scarce tool which everyone

Listen, listen, listen, ungrateful, unfaithful assassin has dreamed of liberation.

Listen, listen, listen, listen, heretics, beasts, the cries of the newborn
