Cerberus Sonnet
when mortal coil doth — dearest tomb keeper,
shroud the vibrant hue — of the dark and cold.
of life's brief candle — grant me one more kiss,
and the darkness creeps — my last farewell told.
through ebony's cold — revive my red lips,
and lonely shadow true — now grown pallid pale,
i search for the sweet — and

Cerberus Uncorrupted
"Cerberus Uncorrupted"
Every day I go to that box ...
at the top of the page,
left side, upper
its entry reads:
“What are you looking for?” -
waiting for an entry…
the brain presses a full stop,
the fingers hover and ripple
like a maestro leading a chorus
the fingers tap dance
poetically buying time
the heart tracks,
its silent voice speaks
piercing the suffocating

Midnight, Cerberus roams across the sky,
Chasing stars and barking upon the fly.
Hound of thunder, cloud riding the air,
With three heads and snaky tail awry.
Lightening cracks like a whipping lash,
Indoors, onlookers make a wild dash;
To escape the unnatural fiery glare,
Of the monster mongrel raining ash.
My pet dog cringes in abject fear,
Crawling into a box he is

Cerberus
mythical black dog
i hear your howling from the darkness
gate keeper of the underworld
perpetual torment
cries the name of a lost love
as innocent blood drips from my heart
in payment of pride
i beg let loves pure soul pass
to taste the mornings sun kisses
upon sweet fresh earth
come to heel demon beast of hades
brood no malice upon love's freedom
for hell
