The Dagger

I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere. 

You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see. 
The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection. 
The harmless object when it’s inside its box.

I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere.

You’re the scariest thing for the heart. 
The deadliest weapon for the soul. 
The

With Stiff Dagger In Thy Hands

et tu Brute with the stiff dagger
and warmblood dripping from 
the betrayed hands
witness the evil spirits of Judas
lurking behind the scene
burrow underneath the quiet earth
for thirty shekels of gold
almost speaking in tongues
back and forth through the
holy windows of time
to complete the evil deeds of mankind
and through the ghost-spirit sublime
we conceive the wicked plot
to murder the

Time is the Dagger

In time the enemy lie in wait
Everything you hold back on now will never be finished
A surprise  attack will come
It could be the end
So why live like there is no beginning
Life evolves you change with every season
Why not put it all out that
Everything you are 
Proudly show the scars of this battle
The war is

Love Can Be a Dagger

once your touch would make me tremble
your lips on mine an ecstasy dance
I gave you my heart until you hurt me
so I turned away from you and your cruelty
now, news of your death shakes the ocean of my sleep
and I recall the sweetness among the dregs of our love
I am weeping, broken, and seek revenge

so,

Dagger of Peace

Pinchus'* weapon was his dagger            
    his dagger of peace
  He stopped a plague in its tracks
    with his dagger of peace

  The plague had killed 24,000
    who'd stooped to depravity
  Until

A Dagger of Pain

"A dagger of pain, a tear of grief" Quote by Constance La France 

They told us of the agony these poor birds go through.
They invited us to join them, there was work we could do.
Approaching was the annual licensed duck hunting shoot.
Slaughter of ducks, maybe eliminate a species to boot.
Anybody could pay five dollars and

Cloak and Dagger of a Distant Time

He just ran off the cliff. 
The witnesses said something looked to have drove him wild.
A lady said that she saw a cloaked figure and then that figure just disappeared out of sight.

He had just been acquitted of that murder case, found not guilty at that trial.
Taken the land and the wealth of that family

Surname Pain

it would be nice if certainties came liquid
and don't wear a dirty robe
as the aggressive formation of the storms
or the negative balance of failed smiles.
we know what they created...
this altar of icy statues,
built with the defects called trust
and his emblematic surname pain.
the fingers that point are made of stone
and evoke hatred for our imperfection.

Problem With Cultist Emblem

Eagle-Rare is The Union,
All her members’ arms pinion, 
Not with a from-behind arm twist  
But thrills that can dare a long list …

You join her you pray to not leave,
You indiscreetly go ahead to leave,
You never cease to piteously grieve
Or emotive sighs endlessly heave. 

But please, in the open say it not:
Still on her

An Affair of the Heart

say this for Justine
though sweet she often turns mean
Justine wasn't keen
on men who might misuse her
she kept track of where they were

worked the bar and grill
at the bottom of West Hill
bears beer, food  and bills
while avoiding groping hands
inappropriate demands

brimming with desire
education to acquire
her words rained fire
on weak lover wannabes
her mind was set on degrees

On Hell of a Journalist

Man, I understand,
Many can’t falsehood withstand,
The rationale for it confusing,
And a precious idea start refusing …
But grab, I promise you the calming details;
One should know what a thing entails …

Please, it’s all about a step moving in exaggeration,
To what actually happened, a slight recreation.
Claims that the jabbing finger was a pen knife,
That luckily couldn’t claim

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
