Dark and Stormy
Thunder, like anger, crashing in the skies above
The lightening seemingly frightening
But is in fact- lighting the way.

Drag them with you
They took and took
Never looking to see if there would be anything left
That fire that once shown so bright
Nothing but a husk of an ember
Yet they continue to try taking
Nothing left but ashes
Still they take but now they choke
I’m nothing but dust now
But they choke
They cry
As tears run from their eyes
It seems they

Little Clown
Here she is
Her smile as if painted on
Shining, eye catching
Her shell cracking
Breaking, snapping
Slowly revealing the true little clown
Oh, my silly little fool
No amount of pain or porcelain could hide something as hideous as you
Oh, now don’t weep
Don’t fret
After all, the show isn’t over yet.

Murky Mess
once …
there - with trunks of monkey’s meth
there grew a breadth of bunky breaths
deplored by dreaded, drunky deaths
to calm their chemic coggers
the fame of phlegmic foggers
so deep and dark those dribble bibs
didst dig their dearest double-dibs
and drowned, the fartish fizzles fibbed
and, preened with puzzled puzzlers
quite choked their chucking guzzlers
tho bending tendrils tripped those drips
while

Poe In Perpetuity
deck is stacked with black cats
hungry and forlorn
pressing in
bolts of thunder -
blinded with cacophonies
the ace of spades -
fear, bad luck, hatred, war
worry lines, frowns, battle torn
coal, night, pitch -
the starry night, disoriented

Solar Winds
This thing I keep in my brain.
Makes me discouraged.
There's something on my mind.
The one special part of me.
My head is not so kind.
A dekcuf up thing I see.
Suddenly I feel so ashamed.
I fight, I won't win.
What a different kind of pain.
A disaster and a sin.
The sun

In the Abyss
My dark soul of damnation deserves decay
as I drown in the abyss from deceitful debauchery
with the help of my decadent deluded mind
and the staged dastardly deeds of defiance from choices made
when my heart filled with delusion turned demon needing to damage
from my demonic dare of digging deeper into a self-created darkness
driven by the diabolical devastation

Someone Will Draw Paradise For Us
In this world
so obscured
of brutality,
someone will
efface this darkness,
pass a message
of white purity and draw
a paradise... !

Shun Spots
Hot zones of danger,
dark places
where dense hearts go
Hearts that are cold as ice
Roll the dice ...
take a chance on fatal corona exploration
Go ghetto orbital
and gamble with your porcelain life
You’ve been whitely warned:
Shun the spots —
the darkside of the Helios shadows,
where the sun don’t golden glow
It’s best to yield to your coin conscience;
the fade-to-black

Thunderstorm
Cooler air stream rides
On back of thundering storm
Wicked this way comes
Pounding rain and hail
Weather clash of the titans
Lightning cleaves the sky
Thunder quakes the land
Animals flee fast in flight
Humans seek cover
Dark siege slowly ends
Battle clouds exhaust their rage
Scattered by the sun

The Dancing: the Last Dance
Was it a cruel twist of fate?
Sneering, laughing chance?
Perhaps something I ate?
A bad bout of happenstance?
It wrenched and tore at my gut,
A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.
The awful nausea,
Brought on by the thought of the pariah,
Is enough to cause ya,
A bad case of diarrhea!
It brought back the

The Dancing: the Return Thereof
Prelude
After banishing my foe off to hell
The Lord took pity on my soul
And returned it to my undead shell
Again, I was alive and whole
But the consequences of a second chance
Meant that I would have to lead a life Godly and good
Now more sins and women would I romance
The dancing is afoot…
I used to drink

Rehash Passed Events
Whilst life tales do rehash passed remarks
chilly winds do come with aching darkness
that curtails of forlorn
moments of what's fitting.
Can a taste of the wind 's breath
bend lifetime like a blade of grass?
