Ransom
"Ransom"




Held to ransom 
words inject your mind
pierce your skin
drawn backwards 
you transcend, 
you look within
a bloodied mind
the numbness melts
inconsequential ignobles
and dreary misfortune
a polar ice cap 
lying cold on stony heart
rescinds


Blue blood bleeds Red
Mystery Girl
Implodes your heart 
Reconnaissance transforms
on a dead even plateau
transfigures a
bipedal 
head
becomes
eight legs
Tarantula...

RANSOM NOTE

A stark white note left on the front door,
Bright red droplets of blood on the floor,
Dear God, let my niece and child be alive,
Please, please let them survive!	
I am told do not to call in the police,	
Lest they take revenge and their patience cease,
But...

My Lord, what more need I ask of you?
For you have left your throne of light
Came to this place of shadows
Wherein lies treachary
And sin rules the days...
Taking my place
Soul redeemed
By your
Blood

Were I to live a thousand lives
Lay the worlds' treasures at your feet
Perform stringent penance
I...

What is the gift in your life
Is it your husband or wife
Is it your children, your lover, your pet
The notion of someone you haven’t met yet 

Is it the door that you shut on the havoc
The sanctity of your four walls
Relaxing with something with lemon...

I don't remember what I miss
Or if I left it where it is
I wasn't going anywhere
And I sure did get there fast
No matter where I run
I can't outrun the past
But I've walked away from running
With nowhere left to go
Price check on isle 6 please
Was there...

They Hold Our Names Ransom
They hold our names ransom 
as if our fathers are kings.
Put a cloth over its face and drive 
it to a destination unknown.

They hold our names ransom.

They shout their demands over a coin
operated public phone.
In the middle of a busy street, 
unmarked bills in black...

A World Held At Ransom
When innocence no longer knows fear
the rivers of earth will unleash a baptism, 
as anger fades with their ancestors genes 
souls of the Guf will forevermore fly free 

Evils are blinding the light of humanity 
spotting the gaze of the troubled 
stealing the hearts of...

The Ransom
Each time we're together
          we're a million miles apart.
You see me though I'm never really there.
             Lost in your thoughts

A Church Called Ransom
Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it

‘s paused entrance
muted celebration
muffled scream
and shout

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it

‘s just desserts
viewed destruction
failed backers
who blame

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it

‘s selected boxes
disposed choices
removed at

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it....

Ransom Note Style Poem
Embarrassed faces don’t forgive.
Sinking into a bloody death,
Show real love next time and
Start feeling the open passion.
Stop the natural fear and,
Sacrifice the stress....

Ransom Or Forfeit - Everything Halloween
Its pitch black in the meadow
Shadows everywhere.
With a heavily beating heart 
I start to walk through.

When out jumped a " I dont know"
Was too fast for me to see,
Have goosebumps up my arms
Need to find somewhere to wee.

When i felt a hand on my neck
I screamed...

Ransom
Every pore on my skin,
Lusts for the desire of your fingertips,
You can play me like you play the acoustic,
If that is all you wish,
Your voice would quell,
Each tear I’ve spilt,
And yet I walk alone,
Knowing your spirit,
Like I can hear it,
In my chest-
There are times,
When my...

Premium Member On the Run
Nigerians are on the run
Refugees in search of Asylum 
No more sweetness in their fatherland
Their dreams have crumbled 

The giant of Africa is in shambles
With hope of her youth buried under the rubbles of
Man made insurgency
Banditry and insane killings

Evil holds sway everywhere 
While goodness scamper...
