Bloodless Ties
He glimpses her, the peripheral life of her,
she abides in the corners of his eyes.
She is a tidal tug upon his shoreline,
salt for his blood.
Arcane atoms carry her presence
over tenuous thresholds.
She strays through his thoughts
upon SilkRoad visions.
She does not see him as a person,
but traces his nocturnal journeying
over her nomadic mind.
She is not a fantasy,

Bloodless
The blade cut deep
She died laughing
Death was a relief
Unlike her life
Riddled with betrayal
He noticed no blood flowing from her hateful body
He was always sure she was bloodless
She certainly lacked all human feeling
But even a witch like her would possess some blood
He bent down to check just as she was rising
Something in his brain registered
Sudden disbelief,

A Bloodless Conquest Underway

A Bloodless Conquest Underway
Armies of the world have United
All the military in common greed
Power- in Weapons is Authority
Baying for blood- quite outdated
Patriots - …They saved their land
Their citizens. …Future of Children
Made final sacrifice. ..They Returned in body bags
Brave and Poignant. …The Heroes - Real Men
Now They have been ….Taken control of
Arms

Dagger
In your bosom concealed, you are a fighter:
Who doesn’t a single matter take lighter;
The closest chap to you making a big mistake,
As you wouldn’t care what it‘d take
Inside your bag, some folk is about to drop dead
Like some hapless character in novels read:
A murderous slashing of his windpipe
Or a jugular discharging services of the

Of Bloodless Thorn
So did the poet write on fading dawns
words to float across the pond as swans
white stanza a-dance against blue sky
ivory wings defy the wind and fly.
Dewdrop diamonds hung among tall brush
eerie voices whispering in dusk’s hush
scribble truth upon the shapeless mist
inviting passersby to listening‘s tryst.
Sunset’s solemn setting set ablaze
a look, a touch, a kiss become

Bloodless - Tale of a Hero and the People He Died For
You knew you were going to die. 1
And yet you came, thinking no matter how insane,
the man on the seat of power would never want you dead
… it would be too much on his head.
And so you came, and there in the brightness of the day
they took your life away, on the tarmac… in broad

Bloodless On Mother's Day
There is a glare of stray sunlight
daring to reverberate
through spiderwebbed glass I haven't
found energy to fix
in the span of four years.
It is too much of a mirror,
too tangible a thought,
to make new.
It's lithe fingers, thin and bony,
and mockingly bright,
steal over embossed cardstock that arrives, like clockwork,
in deepest sympathy.
And a thornless bouquet of pastels laden

Bloodless War
In a hunt I the werewolf stalk this vampire,
Pre-dawn obscurity with severe mist and cold,
Just in time to observe this nimble stealthy vampire;
Moving from the human graveyard fully exposed.
Dark feline shadow figure watchful eyes sparkling,
Lets out a shrill cry as she discovers my guise,
Ready to pounce those demonic possessed contours;
The hands reach up to
