Faces of Terrifying Demons
Faces of Terrifying Demons


Some look into the Demon dark
And are engulfed

Crushed and torn apart
These poor souls
Descend to the narcotic escapes
Or turn to face the world
In return 
With violence, anger and hate
Or fall at last
In the suicidal ends of life

Some prefer never to look
At all

Into the...

The Loneliest Caterpiller-A Tale of Bravery
Once upon a time there lived a very small caterpillar. She was quite shy, meek, and timid of small crowds. She would even go out of her way to avoid confrontation with the other insects until one very important day. One day she saw danger...

Lost To the Meme
The masters of mad mountains,
the dark dwellers of deep,
the misty myth of memory
slips into soulless sleep.
The timeless, tangled tree-tops,
the perfect placid plains,
the eyes of heirs eternal,
now bore the barraged brain.
Amidst the active androids,
sharp, scintillating screens,
the lore of lasting legends
just melds to mindless memes…...

We Will Stand Together
We will stand together what a wonderful vocation, 
despite the wars and conflicts in many of our nations. 
We will stand together in these our days of need, 
despite a world filled with power, envy, lust and greed. 

We will stand together no matter what...

The snow of winter has melted
Spring's warmth a golden touch
Freedom at the creek with the wash
Only through love can hurt be lifted
And if fear didn't flow awash 
Of those many harsh words and such

A pensive mood her expression 
Deep in thought 'bout her plight
Just a...

Paradoxical Thought
I live in a box where I'm constantly barraged by a personal concoction of paradoxacle thoughts and it haunts me -
and at the cost of any and all of my previous notions, 
I question my very existence 
as a prawn in the shadow of an...

Living With the Hard of Hearing
Hello can you hear me
Speaking louder is key
Make sure they see your lips
Talk slow and clear

TV is too loud
Barraged by too much sound
Silence cannot be achieved
Not even a thought can be perceived

Words misconceived
Offense received
Information missed
Miscommunication persist

Effects the young
Effects the old
Problem is ignored
Wishing their hearing was...

Feeling of Freedom
Clustered by the world into a cubicle fortress 
a corporate seat in boundaries of white walls
daylight dreams fade into colors of sunset
in moonlit shadows, feeling of freedom calls

engulfed in darkness, night  yearns for  the sun  
to explore beyond galaxies, to a new...

Our Future Imperiled
The Genie is now out of the bottle,
  and referred to as ‘The Net’

Where hackers are countries unto themselves,
  empowered worldwide—great threats

Able to intrude and disrupt at will,
  weaving a new kind of hell

With privacy raped and freedom attacked,
 —barraged, our future...

Premium Member The Vampress
Deadly pumpkins, their harmonious hum
The rates that the goblins move is greater
When the skeletons come out never dumb

The neophyte, a devoted hater
Brought forth ideas of evil barraged
The rates that the goblins move is greater

Her neckline was sumptuous, with corsage
She was the vampress, taker of others...

Am I On Or Off Track
Am I On or Off Track

About train crash with questions were barraged
Do they think that it had been sabotaged?
So on tracks improvements may be made
While several lives away already did fade.

God, with all of your generous consideration
How could this have happened to our nation?
Those killed...

Freedom Costs
Past decade decayed in a mist of crimson
Last barricade barraged to escape this prison
The Shades of grey flow through my faulty prism
Light betrays - plain sight - guards march me back to my chasm
Cleaning crew - white suits - red spatter
Leaning cruelly towards me -...

Where Sisters Go To Talk
Knowing you as I do,
you entered the room shyly.
Saying nothing, you took a seat
next to your sister.
Then your ear homed in on the speaker. 
You tried not to notice 
some of the ladies paying
way too much attention to your blouse.
Sensing your insecurities,
your sister leaned into...
