Streaks of pallid moonlight  
wash over blood-stained  
burnt umber leaf blight.  
Glistening stainless steel remains  
within wilting noir roses  
and blistered blades of grass.  
Sickening hands shake my repose,  
heart racing, sure to collapse,  
feeling faint. ...

Why the Dogwood Tree Grows
Why the dogwood tree grows.

In the middle of a vacant filed stands a grand dogwood tree where the  crows gather daily. People flock far and wide just to gaze at its majestic stature and overwhelming beauty wondering silently amongst themselves, “How this tree came...

Crossing the Bridge
The shadows of the evening
 are slowly drifting by
 like ghosts that haunt a foreign land
 beneath the starlit sky.
 With images of past and of the future
 yet to come_
 the heart is beating faster 
 while the soul is on the run.

Caught up...

Paying the Piper the Great War
A fist clenched, face muscles flexed on pinched cheeks, huge sinews appeared on his neck,
The veins in his arms were like twisted lengths of blue rope and his eyes bulged in his anger,
His brother lay face down in a rancid pool, a lifeless corpse, another...

Werewolf
At daybreak I feel relieved 
Though at night I long for more violence 
Only at dusk I fear for I know it is coming 
Coming for me no not for me for it is me that is coming out to unleash that anger of which...

Am I Going To Be Executed
“Am I going to be executed?”
the prisoner asked the balding 
old priest, as he leant across the 
warped wooden shelf;  lifting the 
tattered bible, like a ticking, weary,
bomb.

“Yes my son, you will die here away 
from family, friends and familiar trends; 
alone with eyes...

Ingenue'
I found myself, a lifeless corpse, finally, at the end of the line ~ mocking humanity
The warmth of the sun drawing my days to a close, once more ~ from, such, this great length of TIME
I perceived in some distance, far off from this naked...

The Price of a Normal Life, Part Iv
Hopkins just fumed, and dove for his iron,
Bud’s gun barked, and he fired right then,
The Pinkerton’s charged at the gunshot,
And stared down on the lifeless corpse of Hopkins.

“Sorry I could not get him for you alive,”
Was all Bud said when they looked on the scene.
“You’ve...

Poor Lady
I will not write you, poor lady
Because you hide like leaf beady
Caused recently uncomfortable paddy
I'm tired to delve in your world faddy

Logically think - we don't need each other
What is the use of feeling bother?
To meet us for what purpose?
Our communication is a long lifeless...

Unlucky
Lift all the pain to just consume it all
Watch my lifeless corpse trip and fall

Enjoying all the last moments in this dimension
Break apart the long lasted fundamental foundation
-
It's hard to understand the rest of this
Just to sit and vision all of it fall in the...

Don'T Let Go
Every day I wake up and look in the mirror
I can’t tell who that is looking back at me
There’s a girl crying, “This is not meant to be!”
I feel the war torn soul going cold
Those cliché phrases are growing old
My hand clutched tightly to fragmented...

Love To Ashes, Love Arises
There was a time when everything was dark
In my life, and i was a man who had nothing
To live for, until i met you
Everything just reversed itself, it changed my life completely

I felt compelled to do every little thing for you
I could never say no...

Why Should I?
i wonder why 
should i feel remorseful
for something i got no part in
they yearn 
to see my lifeless corpse
those that i've not seen lend a helping hand
hated me right from the start
from the moment my mama
pushed me out of her womb
tell me why should i...

Mama Will Live Forever
I can imagine anybody dying, 
I can attach and sew like a cloth
Any face to a lifeless corpse
Except that of my mama
I try to picture her gone
My brain slips into darkness
And thought ceases
Until my ears hear her sweet voice again
Its true, death is our common...
