Under Moldy Soil, Red Moon Overhead

Under moldy soil, red moon overhead
lay millions of corpses, wars wasted dead
No bands playing, no sweet angels singing
only ghostly echoes, slowly ringing.

Cools winds blowing across such resting grounds
on dark nights, ghost-whispers its only sounds
Low moans, raging regrets of battle cries
rebukes...

Black Helicopters Overhead
i hope you don't mind 
if I wander in through your front door
and reset your clocks to headlight savings
life requires humor he said to the lens grinders
as he rode his all terrain moon beam to heaven
where they were eradicating stupidity with fairy tales
same **** greater...

Premium Member Black Clouds Overhead
There's black storm clouds outside
and if they should let go
it won't be rain reigning down,
it will be the ice cold snow.

Ominous and black the clouds 
that blanket the sky overhead
and if their flurries they let fly
I think I'll hide in bed.

Black clouds hover overhead,
threatening and...

The Impossible - Ch, 4 - Hanging Overhead
The aqua-blue sky’s currents are overhead…
Showering rain of soft, but pitiful dread
I’ve cried too many times now…
My hopes are no longer sea-deep and my woes are gone somehow
Pray for me, brethren…
Let His glory carry me throughout the night
He brought me out of the lion’s den
My...

Moon of Red Way Overhead
Look up in the sky and see
A sight that is so pretty
Spectacular and really bold
It's as rare as finding gold
Once in a while it will shine
A beautiful new design
Lighting up the sky so bright
A circular red moon light
That takes viewers breathe away
Disappearing in the day
As...

The Storm Overhead
The storm ovehead

A storm is brewing in the dark of the night
You can see the flashes in the distance of the light so bright
In the very distance of the night lighting up the sky
Sometimes It will be here very fast and other times by and...

Dark Cloud Overhead
I used to write love poems..
Until my heart became invaded by the night
I used to love to find a home,
Until shadows filled the light
I used to be a golden boy
But now I hate the colors greedy sight
So many things in me that have become faded
And...

Cloud Burst Overhead
I want to get my feet wet
I want to bury my hands for years
I never meant to see beyond 
I am bound to travel back to the unknown 

I want to leave here, never to return 
Hang on, I never meant to get this deep
Headlong...

    As the low sky cleared
    the lost ducks took to the air
    looking for the clouds

What Some Pharisees Overhead
All that we had encountered
Of God, Fear kowtowed to.
Yet this, for sinner's relief
This, piteous, soaked through
Are we, here and now, told is
That face,the very same
Behind all that skied displeasure;
A vengefulness to name!...

This Blessed Day Has Passed

From the instant of waking, not quite
   Sure where I am, or why the room’s so cold,
To an hour’s end, as my coffee’s grown cold
     And I’ve pushed aside the toast, only
Wanting to look up...
