Long Arachnid Poems

"The Payload" 

The payload 
came crashing down
like rain expelled

like school fish released 
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

“The Scorpion’s Touch”

Under glass

some say they hover
in the stratosphere,
but that's...

Was the purpose of your absence an attempt at causing me pain? 
That crippling feeling, a spider spinning its web inside my mind. 
That arachnid, poisonous, jeers the word space like a handicap. 
That parasitic...

Covered in the jungles evergreen thickets, beneath
Stones and mortars refuge lays an old Mayan crypt,
And on it is written an ancient curse, dare not enter 
Mortal men, or forsake thy living soul, as tributes
Offering at...

Clock work spiders are climbing up my wall ‘sticking in their nasty pins so none of them will fall,
As one of them lifts her leg and begins to spin her steel ,

A world spun in iridescent colors and shades.
He ventured to experiment with life

Fine rhythm in the walls so delicate
softly wrapping you in harmonious;
Your soft humming echoes the sentiment,
gaining momentum will it touch famous? 

A cascade of sound bounces all around,
gone hysterics it will surely incite;
When sanity is...

In the hushed embrace of night, a weaver emerges from the shadows.
With delicate grace, it spins threads of lunar albedo into a tapestry,
a silent symphony of whispers. Each filament an extension of itself,
an intricate dance...
