Savagery
SAVAGERY

Bound tight by blinding shock,

Captured stiff by coaled astonishment,

Enslaved hard by utter incredulity,

In sight to four tortured sacrifices - 

Humiliated human bonfires to appease the dark lords.

It was a bad dream; a demented nightmare!

And I was being sucked in. I had to wake up, fast!

I...

Back To Savagery
Hacked to death.
All I scribbled on? 
your breast.

I was on the verge of
a confession. I loved
you like never before.

A full moon, like a
toddler was hopping
towards me.

Never reached the
perfection. Do not have
any wants.

Getting the burns
from the cushions.
I will call you later.

Free Cee Subcutaneous Savagery
SUBCUTANEOUS SAVAGERY  

From the sublime to the savage
With relevance to ravage
By a being beset by a beauty’s betrayal begotten
My well-fed fortune forgotten
My reality rotten

An acrid and sulfuric soliloquy spoken sullenly and suddenly by a spirit betrothed to a fiend
By a warlock once weaned

From the...

Savagery
Savagery of an act unspeakable, 
ransack of the flesh of innocence 
melts the petals of the rose 
with blowtorch breath of violation. 
The gallows groan, with guilt are ridden, 
turmoil grinds a mind of penitence, 
caustic soda rivers flow 
with twisted thoughts of self-beration. 

The...

Shrugging Shoulders
Great Britain and their beloved colonial states,
struggled and determined each their own fates,
foes in war, but united in common civility,
unlike Putin's abandon of simple humanity.

Ravaged and weakened, but firm on their feet,
Ukraine lacks no courage in evil they meet,
and those who would claim, "It is...

Premium Member Moment of Light-- Years of Shadow
wishes hopes and dreams
 school sales, festivals, food and fun 
 in a moment gone
 people fallen, children lost
 3, 9, 22 depart in a flash
 so many fell in three cities
 they’ve left life’s promises too soon
 in a moment of light then shadows
