Tasmerelda – A Fairytale?
©2011 by Jon Gutmacher

En Tigeray, es Tasmerelda
yearning err the Hooded Elder
and the Knight who rides in white

and White Knight stands near hooded horror

Pale Though Her Eyes
by Michael R. Burch
 
Pale though her eyes,
her lips are scarlet
from drinking of blood,
this child, this harlot
 
born of the night

dreaming of blood,
her fangs—white—baring,
revealing her lust,
and her eyes,...Read More

The beauty of a sunset, she had
Clothed in burning scarlet velvet
Stories of her ghost the silent streets
Children feared her,
She got razing screams, mental
Her hands withered life away
Her horse walk drawn men, dead
Alive, they laughed her
She swallowed their joys, sorrow
Black energy...Read More

LAPLAND

Wooo; 2 free tickets for Lapland, should I go
But; what if I get there and, there’s no snow

Rudolf stuck up a tree, drunk on cider apples
You think I am joking, believe me; it happens

Elves' on strike; they are getting paid...Read More

She was the plainest buzzard in the chicken coop.
Man, is she plain, the roosters used to say.
But one rooster gave her a chance. They shared a nest.
She had diamonds in her heart. He told people
But they did not believe, for...Read More

And then the guns fell silent
Smoke and death were in the air
The sounds of echoed silence, so many dead were everywhere
Your eyes were tired and weary but you did not dare break your stare
Friends and comrades lie around us, the...Read More

The Nazi’s have been beaten and it is time to dance.
But we have a job to do before the celebrations begin,

Thank I, That Purity Of Heart's Deepest Romantic Trills

As ruby red, sensual lips offer honey from above
She golden, romantic goddess born of...Read More

Shark waits in the bushes, for his opportunity. I am watching the scene in horror, because I feed these birds. There are many robins, sparrows, wrens, cardinals and my bluejay. They all trust me.  I try to get out...Read More

Before the great golden gates,
in the long ago,
battle was to be waged on Badicha plain,
Soldiers of the Dark Ones come,
to destroy the lands of light,
upon the mighty silver parapet, 
many stood and watched,
an angel stood,
sweet womanhood,
in her wondrous prime.
Her soft...Read More

When it pouts it's  Cutie,
When it shines it's  Twinkle,
When it frets it's  Wrinkle,
When it fears...Read More

And as I walk behind the crowd
	burden by the memory of my sins
red drops of mud did I see
	of the dust in the blood he shed

and I wonder at the price
	that he paid for my sin
each cut of the whip...Read More

Out of the gloom the dark ones rise
Into our future we go,
We're just ourselves, don't you dare judge us
And we will be sure at sun rise
How we discovered the glow
Pride's on the shelf, have you not seen dust
Like glittering stars...Read More

They all sit there lined up in a row 
Not knowing when exactly when to go 
Decisions are made on the image they are looking for 
As the applicants mumble at the door. 

Mommas got cash 
Let those pass

I sing to the Sun with a thousand songs to atone
For her loss of strength and glow that's faded thin
And has exiled the strength of her rightful throne
To convey the sunset in the demise of our children

I drift aimlessly with...Read More

by killing his foes mercilessly,

Dreams of Halloween

Like a shadow moving in the darkness…
It is something seldom seen.
A total act of malevolence,
as monsters haunt your dreams…
As the sun goes down 
before tonight’s full Moon. 
A low rolling fog spread
feelings of foreboding and doom.
Ghouls and Goblins...Read More
