Best Lethal Poems
EPITAPH - A LETHAL WIND
Here lies George, the sad deceased
Victim of flatulence released
The result: he would expire
Stood before an open fire

Catapulting ice
falling from my roofs gutters
dangerous to all.
Don’t walk or stand beneath it;
or you may end up impaled!

Corruption and Covid 19 both a virus raiding our planet,
Only socialism works as in Finland in Scandinavia,
Realistically corruption has bankrupted countries, quad tripled poverty
Ruined our God given bountiful earth, brought it to its knees
Utopia that is just a mere word no country has it,
Perhaps Iran and America will go to war and we get caught in the middle,
This corruption has become insane, Russians itching to do the same,
Integration of all colours creeds and nations essential, poor and wealthy alike
Only severe repercussions will result if we don’t take action now,
Nothing seems to erase this filthy greed which has become so obtrusive.

The bodies were rolled in whole grains
And corn flakes found in the remains
With milk underfoot
The cops now look to put
The cereal killer in chains

Limerick
Dark rain dripping
hands and feet poised ready
as danger appears
Two Kung Fu masters ~ trouble eye to eye
There would be no peace ~ the tension was high
Each one knew that their Kung Fu was the best
This deadly duel was the ultimate test
The earth gravitates
heat waves forming within a soul
Those watching could not see what each one thought
In this Art of War ~ composure was sought
Each knew that one move could bring their demise
Lightning strikes ~ deadly blows ~ such cloudy skies
Butterfly feet lifts
shaping sharpening soul daggers
whizz forward
Stalking in a circle ~ slow did they move
Gazes locked ~ hands cocked ~ this battle would prove
Who's fist style was the best ~ skills they did not lack
One said "Enough!" ~ he then launched his attack
Fist on flesh
electric luster crackles a visceral snarl
His hands and feet became punches and kicks
Vicious techniques in the rain did he pick
The attacked moved with grace out of harm's way
Within striking distance ~ response without delay
Phantom lightning strikes
circle within a circle
souls become blades
Raining hammers ~ the attacker felt the blows
So many angles ~ some struck high ~ some low
The one attacked moved in circles ~ here and there
The attacker was lost ~ his target seemed everywhere
What appeared aimless
was actually a glazed cover
Witnessed by all ~ the one attacked lost "her" hat
Long hair cascaded to "her" shoulders ~ all were staring at
A Kung Fu "Masteress" ~ they were taken by surprise
The attacker defeated by "she" ~ in a man's disguise
Lips curling one side
a demure little maiden
fixing eyes on him
A lesson was learned ~ never under estimate
It affects the outcome ~ it affects one's fate

Verse
"Love, Blood Red"
I trusted with you my heart.
I trusted with you my Special Love.
I trusted with you, with YOU..
Everything I'm made to, for, and of...
I was willing to wipe all your mistakes entirely away,
Your Light to keep shining dissolving all the grey.
But while I was busy Loving you, your mistakes and all,
You were busy knifing my heart, enjoying every fall
Of every tear, of every drop of blood you could drain,
Drinking from my misery, guzzling down my pain.
As you lick your lips, sucking my blood of rosy red,
Are you dreaming of the day when I'll at last be dead?
Are you looking for hatred in my heart to find,
While shredding it and torturing my mind?
Sorry to disappoint you dear, sorry I'm without,
But my heart is filled with Love, keeping hatred out.
In my heart I grow Love, Love grows just for YOU,
With forgiveness and understanding, always on renew.
But in your heart you grow hatred and ego fed pride,
So abundantly there's no room for Love to reside.
Because your heart for Love has no space or room,
Destroying mine became your mission to entomb.
As the last drops you suckle from my bleeding heart,
With my last breath I'll say I Love YOU as I leave, depart.
As you taste the final drop, will you smile at your victory then,
Knowing it's my last drop, you'll ever drink again?

My mind is trapped within this maze,
forced to ponder bygone days,
wasting time on what is lost,
reliving paths long since crossed,
deep remorse for choices made,
guilt becomes a lethal blade.

I'm going to tell you about, the most lethal drug in the world, or so I think
It's one I swear, though it may seem contraire, maybe makes your brain shrink
First let's decide what a drug does, a quick debate?
Can leave you immobile, uncommunicative, kinda catatonic state
Might not even notice your dinner gone cold upon the plate
The chills of panic, if you don't fix your crave
To this thing, so many, become it's slave
Hiding away in a lost world of retreat
Sat on ****'s all day, barely upon the feet
This violent crazy world, riddled with crime
There's people being shot all of the time
The government though, is in on it too
Much bigger crooks than me or you
A fine is one 'punishment' they do
They charge us tax to control our brain
and manipulate the information we gain
Another threat they use, now listen
If you don't pay the man, you go to prison
So many potential uses, such an educational prism,
But, I believe the most dangerous drug is television!

Dramatic Monologue
My ink bleeds
upon the pages
of life...
Like I've cut a vein.
I feel no shame
in whatever I write,
it's how I feel at the
moment.
For those who
don't know me...
Come and discover
my poetry.
Let it move you...
Witness the gift
bestowed upon
me by the most
high.
I'm lethal
when I write.
The pen
becomes
a gun.
The bullets
my words...
Watch as I
cock back,
and explode
poetically
for you.

Shooting star
With a quicksilver mind,
You deserve to go so far,
Can't someone stop you
Before you ruin your soul
With irreversible harm?
Drinking all day,
Every single day,
Out of your head on booze,
Is this the life,
Is this the way,
A gifted child should choose?
Your beautiful lethal life
My friend,
Has sent you around the bend,
Your foolish defiant
Dionysian dance
Could soon be at an end.
But you don't care
Do you, shooting star?
As you drift in your blissful dream.

Love
burning
third degree
lethal weapon
stay away from me
it will draw you closer
a moth towards a candle
all other paths lost except this
gradual surrender to my flame
a flame that will make you pure before death.

Will you be my poison?
Because your kisses make me quiver
Poison me with your smile
Poison me with your touch
Poison my mind
Make me sick over you
Intoxicate my blood
Seduce my immune system with your…..venom
Infect me with your bacteria
My defenses will gladly fail
At the sight of your virus
I want your disease
I want to contract you
Send me to the brink of death…
With your contagious tongue
You are dangerous
And I love the thrill
So I guess I have a death wish
Because I need you to be my poison
I’m begging you, please try to kill me………..
Because your love is lethal
