May Midnight Dark Devour This Cursed Threnody

May midnight dark devour this cursed threnody
Sweet dreams, felled on "cusp of victory"
Youthful wonderment through the heavens flew
Alas! Destined was the loss of you!

Cries in the dark, bevy of weeping moans.
Hath frozen this heart into hardest stone!

May Time into...

Devour the Spirit
Devour the spirit and souls
of the poor, fatherless children
with no clean water nor food
to fill the bloated bellies.
Families unlearned, desolate
spiritually beaten. Unable to provide for
their young. Villages living in sorrow of their
dead babies, dead husbands and raped bodies 
and spirits. 
Who will help their misery?...

Devour Life Until Your Inner Light Gleams
Its easy to let go the hard part is holding on

We loose every night to fight for every dawn

Life is about living let the old rejoice

You hear the young's cry but they don't see the choice

To live for each day and battle fir every breath

Devour Duck - - - T-A-I-L-S
Men come down for fun,
Duck hover, on edge of dune.
Crowd move down, open gun,
Whop… knock off duck, under moon.   
Cook over ember, devour upon noon.

Devour Their Souls
Down in the pit
  Where he sits
Awaiting his time to rein 
  Causing so much pain
His followers he sends out
  to find the blessed ones
The ones with any special gift
  and there they sit
lurking,
  waiting to devour their soul 
In...

Devour Me
My furry fire a silky rouch; 
A smoky dire a burning torch
Like a cloudy day, much on my grey soldier;
Lightning filled eyes, grave with desire and danger
Endure, forever free;
Devour me

For prey born a slave;
You crave only to live
Nor shall any of them pray;
For what you...

Devour
Oh. My. God.
Harmonious ecstasy and 
oxytocin dance through 
every cell you've come into 
contact with.

Oh. My. God.
I never believed in God 
until you had me 
moaning prayers into 
the sky,

begging for sweet,
sinful salvation. Your 
tongue formulates its own
scriptures, and I am weak 
in the knees....

Devour my mind,
With the blatant truth ever,
Blooming to decay....

Kate Ii (In the Shower I Devour).
Last telling the tale of the lovely Kate 
About to ask for our first formal date 

The Gods had decreed her to my collection plate 
Quenching the thirst for Satan's mortality rate

I question where to make the first incision 
Transverse above the breast my decision

Organs...

As My Eyes Devour Spring
As spring is born it bursts forth it's green,
as the living woods look so fresh and clean.
I sit by myself and I close my eyes,
listening to the birds as I breathe in a deep sigh.
The birds they sing a song just for me,
In a world...

Would the Memories Devour Her?
Would the Memories Devour Her?

Sarah Jean sat slumped in the old black chair 
She could only muster a cold blank stare
Since the death of her son she didn’t care
Memories assaulted her-“Unfair!”
To take her youngest son and leave her here
She flinched at the thought of him...

Devour My Soul
devour my soul
rivers flow
backwards through time
once I was whole
fill me
this empty vessel
I have become
nurture
the child I have lost
bring me solace
let sunshine
love
hope
let them
devour my soul  (C) mjr 2010...

Devoured
‘Devoured’

For I am the representation of the unknown.

I whence at the thought of human touch and flee at first glance.

I fly away in solitude and caw in the name of darkness.

For I am the madness in a poets line and the chaos that brings chills...

Full Moon
The howl escapes me,
I cannot help it;
an ululation heralds my arrival.
I am commanded.

Something has slept
but wakes now, is loosed,
something primal, instinct
given licence to devour.

She drives my sweet new youth,
my keen eyes, my potent musculature,
the urgent hormones
that set my new agenda.

She directs, she is
my dominatrix;
her whiteness
is...
