Long Black metal Poems

Bastogne 1944
It was cold, so cold because they hadn’t given
 us warm clothes for the  winter, or to die in:
Germans and SS surrounded us and
 the aroma of their hot food and Heil Hitler!

The softest gossamer gown is never welcomed
Where vodka jumps from tiny glasses
Jilted by sweaty grasps.
I am a flower that blooms morality, 
A sober weed in a lush garden.

This penthouse party 
Is a collage of mesh...

Walking up uneven sidewalks—
up cracked little hills of pavement,
past dingy apartments
gliding through trailer parks—
rough rails and low fences
skidding my fingertips—
reaching the dampened street.

Through an empty crosswalk
where children once would
wait to pass—
vigilant cross guards leading
laughing kids...

The engine roared as from it steam poured 
Rain drops hissed as the black metal they kissed

All filed out as the suited man began to shout

One man stood alone
Nervous, but never checking his phone

A glance...

Once we had it all, I had a nice raven-haired girl, took her three kids 
on all happy families. Guess I did love you, were we really soulmates?
Yet you were never a goth, never understood...

one moonlit night i was spawned, 
a fallen angel with desecrated wings...
a changeling child, my eyes glistening menace...
and God shuddered when he saw me, 
raised his arms across the heavens, and spoke:
"and then...." he said...

Knowledge is frightening, and it is far too
late to return to that stage of ignorance in my 
black metal framed bed. Right by the staircase
a long empty dark basement, my toes tingling 
from the cold....

Heck of a Day 
I was sitting on a bench watching people go by.
Up and down the mall, in all shapes and size.

Across from me was a wanne be model..
Long legged, tiny waist, an "air...

The blackest night wrapped around the lake of Votna - snow fell fast what is up and what is down? A fist held tightly not allowing a single sound.
 Below the murky waters lay a...

The graveyard of the dead
The dirt coils and warms the bodies in the ground
The tombstones stand above the ground
Marking where the dead lay

The grimm graveyard moans with despair
The black metal gates shriek with horror
As the...

My bed is a vintage and very old 
I adore the swirled black metal
nice to behold
so delicate each created petal
I inherited it from grandma long ago
and can never let it go

The mattress is not to...

12:44 a.m.
Hollowed-out eyes
Rimmed with kohl
Set deep in sunken faces.
Tracks down faces and up arms
Visible under flickering halogen bulbs.
Dark cars creep by,
Distorted light reflections
glinting off black metal
Stopping by each person
Until the unsuspecting are
forced into vehicles.


1:18 a.m.

New Mirror
The heavy metal guy looked perfect
With his long black girl like hair 
With his round black John Lennon shades
With his black SpecFor combat trousers 
With his black Doc Martin boots
With his phone’s black metal...

"Hey Babe,don't move, I'll give you some slack.."
as he tightens the leash.
Her burning gaze projects flames from under the head scarf..
hoping someone will see.
Dry lavender smoke vapors slowly waft 
through the cracks in the floorboards.
