Eyes Darting
a river meanders under my feet
I hearken... notice... fallen withered leaves
aback I move... eyes darting... to and fro
my thoughts becloud the water down below

Darting Arrows
Darting Arrows
Skippy shadows,
at the corners of the walls,
ceilings, and floors.
Easiest seen by those that drink,
do drugs, foreign or domestic.
But they are not by themselves...
You know what I am talking about,
once you have seen them.
Don't let them know you have.
Be quiet.
Fear is what they feed on.

and secretly they just let rip
The smell of rotten eggs
wafted between his legs

as drooling brutes prepare to assail,
allowing fraud

Darting Fear
Here again we are standing against
the wall of silence,
time has made us partners of sorrow.
Merchants of terror have spread their
wares
on the road. I was only a name.
Hundreds of miles fear was darting
no body knows who will become unfaithful.
Prayer demands subjugation.
Life sucks the laughter, we want to
go back to childhood,
shut the eyes and recite the
