In the realm of fearless pranks, we meet,
Where weakfish lump and teardrops greet.
A sluice of inducement  we embark upon,
With words that excoriate as a lethal swan.

With a droplet of grit and a split decision,
We dismantle our panic with precision.
Such a weak...

Frightened By the Polls

As frightened as a wolverine in a man-made metal trap,
The politician crawled out from under his rock.
Afraid, after his voting record was revealed,
He avoided facing his constituency and their votes.
Never had he seen such scathing, waving, hating arms.
A people’s representative turned belly-up.
One...

Jump up and down like a jackrabbit
running through meadows
running from what?
Could it be heartbreak,
a venemous snake that hides in the grass,
hiding with fangs ready to pierce the tender skin
upon the tight, bronze flesh of everyday life?
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye now!
I need a vacation a long way...

wobbly legs misstep
toddler tumbles to the floor
screaming with fright

playful puppy
spinning round and round
trying to catch its tail

dog sniffing the grass
searching for the perfect spot
to have a poop...

I saw a little mouse,
I danced upon a chair.
I screamed and hollered,
And pulled my lovely hair!

I saw a little garden snake,
Stretched out in the sun.
I screamed and hollered,
And took off on the run!

I saw a little bitty spider,
It was crawling on the floor.
I screamed and...

Frightened rabbit
Don't mock the earth beneath your feet.
It keeps you grounded with your head facing the stars.
Don't fret the wind on your face.  
It reminds you of the breath in your mouth.
Be still.
Lift your face to the sun and think:
Surely this is meant for...

Locked firm in place in desolate space so devoid of grace
Sire, looked grim, he was gone without a trace
Earth glistens from heaven's view so high
Like a blue sapphire it shines to open portals when we die

She calls in melancholy overtones up to him, 'spare us!'
'Spare...

Frightened

Sarah sits alone in her bedroom
She thinks that no-one understands
Being picked on every day at school
By girls she used to class as friends

Lying awake in bed every night
Dreading the next morning
Constantly getting told off in class
For being tired out and always yawning

Her parents haven't time...

On the fringes of shattered dreams,
illusion feigns normality.
And mute echoes of silent screams
cast shadows on morality.

Falling off the edge of despair;
cascading tears pool on the ground.
Yet, unrequited love doesn't care
whether or not you stick around.

Passion's elation turns to grief;
as denial conceals the truth.
And your broken...

A violent compulsion, yet virtual strangers,
impacts like these stand rare and endangered
Built up to fall, forced to recover,
I'm made up of clues for you to discover
And I know I can help, if only you let me
rewrite this love, be all that we should be
Forever frightened...

Her soul was clenched in the hand's of evil 
A strident deafening scream reverberating in her mind,
Searching for where she's broken the most 
Trying to collect shattered pieces that are hard to find,
Even the faintest of lives light disappeared
Leaving her to confront dark thought's for...

The frightened child want’s to die.
she tries to hide the pain inside ,now she’ll have to lie.
To hide the truth deep inside.
Her eyes are filled with hate .
Her heart is as cold as ice and slowly turns to stone.
But she don’t dare cry
Because she has...

Twisted man by his own hand.Obsessive traits,triggered regret.An accomplishment never
met.Needs a way out.He has no doubt.Mystery man,we may never know.Peace.

I AM NOT FRIGHTENED OF BEING ENLIGHTENED

My load has got to become lightened
My sodden Saturdays and Sundays should be brightened
And it’s not even an eventuality of being frightened
It’s a matter of my being enlightened

Every morning men arise to work another day
I, on the other hand...

We didn’t meet that long ago
But still I think you should know
That I chose you above all the others
You’re like a sister from another mother
I know things aren’t alright
But let me hug you through the night
I’m here as a friend and nothing else
I’ll walk through...
