TOMBSTONE MANORA place of peace and calm
Miles upon miles of graves sites
Memorials telling their life stories
Souls lifted up to glory
Lived in the flesh
Endless rest
Sleep on in your years
You lived to preserver
Their tomorrows arrived
Now they slumber
Days, years and nights numbered
Their names gathered
Eternity mount
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
The Sun rises casting shadows over each tombstone
Smiles seen through...

The In-Between SpaceI stand between the end and start,
A quiet room, a restless heart.
Fifteen years of pages now turned slow,
Yet what comes next, I do not know.

GlassfootGlass-foot by Gabrielle Munslow
She kneels on glass.
Two jagged rocks, hidden—clenched behind her back.
Secrets.
Her mouth open,
not in benediction
but for unholy things.
He looks down—unkind.
She rises,
smashes the rock into his skull.
Hallelujah escapes her breath.
She was shackled to desire.
But her mind wandered.
Wrote verses behind her eyes.
Words curled in corners,
caught fire.
She fought back with poetry.
With flame.

Againenslaved to the cyclical void,
abused, confused, and paranoid
of that endless—(somber schema)—
cyclical void, enslaved to the?
sheer gravity and that friendless
somber schema.—Of that endless
wicked, whirling, said wanton wheel
and that friendless, sheer gravity
of motion which sent atwirling
said wanton wheel, wicked, whirling,
hurtling through hell? a meager twitch
sent atwirling of motion which
shook all things fused.—And all this spell:
a meager twitch,...

LemmingI’m as pragmatic as a lemming
The most important day I missed
Stayed in my hole cause it was raining
Didn’t want my destiny to meet
And probably she thought the same
Had mixed me for another one
Who craved to get his lemming fame
Like other lemmings also ran
Towards the beauties of blue sea
Each tried to keep up with a...

Vapor, VoyageO vapor of the ether;
Of noctilucent clouds:
Drain, rain, in a fever?
Thy contents void on crowds?
Dark fire, burn through dragon teeth!
Swarms of men destroy!
Belladonna, wrap in wreath!
Mandrake to employ!
At harvest-time, bloodlet like spring?
Festive gathering?
O for fairies wrapped in ring!
How the end can sting!
Wizard, wild as weather?
Tornado, come and go...
We can be together?
Caw, O carrion crow!
Empty are...

The Last Station of WaitingLong ago, Mithila was left at this forsaken station,
As the train slipped away on the wrong track,
cutting all horizons.
There was no return
Mithila knew it, even then.
This waiting was only a silent, endless sigh.
In the dust-covered mirror of nostalgia,
Her past flickers, bright as gleaming,
Unreal in its stillness and beauty.
The present? A colourless traveller
That tells no...

And let tomorrow take care of itself

Don't hang somewhere being a sadist
Live life love life

Beautiful LadyWhat a beautiful lady standing in front of me,
I imagine what life would be.
Her beautiful smile, so big and so bright,
Makes me know that what I feel is right.
With every laugh and every tear,
Communication and understanding are clear.
All our fears seem to be put to rest,
Whenever she cuddles into my chest.
An everlasting friendship and love,

Eternal Destiny
In spite of being born into a world that is TAINTED,
At some point in our lives, we become ACQUAINTED
With the subjects of time and FINALITY.
We become aware of our own MORTALITY,
And if we are fortunate, we embrace MORALITY.
We learn that the demise of every living ENTITY
is a CERTAINTY; And we learn to differentiate
between FICTIONALITY and...

Salvation
God’s gift of salvation is for everyone,
His death on the cross was payment for our sin.
For sin He gave His only begotten son,
when we confess they’re not remembered again.
Our acceptance is the only thing required,
but all too many fail to understand.
We must confess before our life has expired,
Or we'll surely not enter at...

Hades TrainThere’s a place
in time
of no return
where you’re destined
for the end
A ride
straight down
with no reverse
to break
no longer bend
A final stop
on Hades
train
where devils
wait in line
With all
new couplets
in the flames
and nothing
— left to rhyme
