***Crazy Menagerie***


I definitely bit off more than I could chew,
when I came a-running to my friend's rescue

With a slow, steady pace and tapping shoes

She...

as the gray man greens, throws-

to her scalped thumb.  Somebody loses  
patience,...

     Who knows the terrors trapped inside?

Japan, land of rising SUN

Faced Natures devastation
Tsunami, earthquake obliterated cities
Lost all but not hope, maturity, sanity

Collective harmony, community first attitude
No honking, no mad overtaking; only understanding on jammed roads
No shoplifting when lights fused in malls

Mature...

Laying down, out in the open,
Here, in the stillness of the night,

A small childish event
slips through an unguarded moment once more,
then a teenage grudge nudges my ego
demanding some resolution.

The night itself is now asleep;
But there are some nocturnal creatures deprived of slumber
Lurking in the city's allies and corners
Just waiting for an innocent prey
To come across their...

Costuming Halloween

Masque my visage fast!
…So my eyes bulge out, drunken red, and give me
    purpled, hairy lips and cheeks to complete 
My bloodcurdling look — Yikes!
So scary…Not sweet!
So chilling that Halloween’s 
Gross...

Though we had troubles
Both thick and thin,
Time healed the wounds which once cut deep;
The pain became a forgotten sin.

A building was built in nineteen-ten
A place for the children to learn
Once filled with laughter, now the everafter
This schoolhouse would suddenly burn

When the schoolhouse burned to the ground

Walking on talking screaming boards

There it is, way deep down,
In my loins, 
Teeming passion
Boiling upward, to my belly, 
Reaching the pit of my stomach, tightly tied in knots.
From there,
Surging up my esophagus/windpipe,
Making me feel sick, gasping for breath
Running, dashing...

Chunks sticking to me like hot glue,
And the entrails of memories continue to stew.
So frustrated, mental don't know what to do.

But some secrets are not mine to tell.

Went into Lucas Swamp cold as ice,
Told of savage beast that kills on sight,

Howling moon shining bright in the clearing
Torch marked quarters cast a circle searing
Sinning sirens ringing the barrier
Seven brides of phantoms shall carry her

They woke me
I listen, voices loud, louder
arguing with each other
my ears ring
then all the demons stop
speak to me, all of them
worthless, addicted, vain
destined for happy? snickers 
no woes just abstain? laughter
go kill yourself!
my thoughts hide...
