Best Skeletal Poems

The human skeleton,
is made up of 206 bones
By jove, they are hard,
as if made of stones!

The brain you think with
is in the Skull or Cranium,
the Maxilla and the Mandible
are for chewing bubble gum.

It's atop the spine
which has 33 Vertebrae in all
You're sure gonna break it

panting against tight winds---

The sea summons in unrelenting whispers
haunting the night as waves spin their spliced harrowing tales
 
Hallowed echoes an unending scourge over tenderness 
weeping secrets wait held in bondage’s everlasting kiss 
 
Terrified to speak as translation becomes disloyalty 
aching is betrayal and compassion is flammable...

She's an eclipsed daughter, satanic stars slaughter, 

as smoked skulls scream powers, dead enchantress flowers....

Autumn trees stand forboding 
With their skeletal branches, 
Silhouettes in pale moonlight, 
Like witches fingers.

Scary pictures on the wall,
Killing scenes encompass all.
Every year when ghosts arrive
Laughter fails. It cannot thrive,
Echo ghouls in twisted lust,
Timeless past of blood flaked rust.
Agents of fear bring Halloween,
Life beware! Death stalks unseen.

Racing heart, terror arises
Erasing hope in compromises
Midnight hour the spirits feast,
A test of...

In the chilled space of time,
There she stood—unperturbed;
There she stood, cold and motionless
As if a victim of death, but not dead;
There she stoically stood—challenging
All of nature; even man himself—daring.

There she stood—leafless—her tall skeleton
Piercing the sky as if a monument to her life
And being—a naked statue...

Here & there, everywhere 
lie pieces & parts of me
I exist only in the moments between what is and will be…

Taking a ride to the minimart... 
Enjoy the passing lands...
...watching the sun playing on the warm sands. 
These are fragments of imagery; memory.

Strange filiment of twine
Mark the passage of time
Counting the scars of pain
Moments washing overs these skeletal remains
Burning down thy kingdom, come
Humanity
Strange secret Lies are told to hide the shame 
An ornate ornamental 
objective truth is passed down 
the leagues of time
One can not hid the...

Skeletal once stately oak
Leaves changed their glossy color
Slowly then they fell 'pon ground
Final blow nuts gone

Human wreckage
Skeletal wasteland
Void of emotions
Echoes... vague-
Shadow boxing
In darkness
With ghosts....

Twilight reaches the camp where he’s held,
While moonlight illuminates his gaunt figure.
The wires do surround all the cells,
And the guards have their hands on the triggers.
They’re forced in the showers from night until dawn,
Bleeding from where they were marked, 
The process of corpses goes on...
