Long Eat away Poems

The words are dark, sharp,vicious, viscous.
The images like bubbling, darkest jam,
With bubble like grim faces riding to the surface
Then bursting.
I am thirsting.Alternately with blood and bile,black.
I am a sad sack,
A pillow filled with rotten meat
For...

My heart needs a home,
I’ve tried fitting it on bookshelves among fantasy novels and romantic stories,
but for some reason,
JRR Tolkein wouldn’t let me in between him and Danielle Steele,

I’ve tried placing it by my stereo;
in...

 Oh, friend of mine
I am doing quite fine
I am sorry for being a burden
I am aware that I am still hurting

Fall into my arms 
Give me your charms
Betrayal beats me to the finish line
Yet,...

My faith is a source of comfort
In the turbulent storm that has become my life
After all, God has graced me with special powers
But when it comes to my personal anguish, his ways are unknowable
I have...

This dread disease that has afflicted my home, 
This malady, this plague on my house;
This making convertible the former quaintness and provincialism thereof 
Into something wholly despicable and disgustingly homogeneous,
Yclept "cosmopolitanism," and "worldliness," and "globalization,"...

It must be hard
To carry it around
That load of hate
Weighing on your heart
A powder keg
Waiting to explode

You pretend it isn’t there
But now and again it shows
In what you say
In what you write
The sarcasm hidden under...

Creeping behind the walls and chairs
They linger all about.
They hang themselves amongst our homes
Causing pain and doubt.
They thrive upon our sorrow,
Upon our hate, our lives, our hearts.
They eat away at our souls
And watch us fall...

His threats weren't fake, like she thought
He tried to take his life.... 
He said that he would, she just laughed it off.
Then he swallowed the poison, and let
it eat away at his insides......

She didn't believe...

there is a body in your garden
exposed bones
exposed blood
exposed heart
laid bare

the walls of your garden 
watch the body with unease
The windows of your house
open onto your garden
and you watch, too, the body with unease

the trees...

Love will Triumph
when all is lost,
and nothing is gained.
Love will Triumph;
when hearts are broken,
and friends cry upon other friend's shoulders,
as love has fleed the countrysides,
but Love will come again
to triumph over the souls that eat...

Scarecrow Addict
           

Gritted and dusty
Powered by flack jacket eyes
Bootsteps through grey puddles
Flotilla of cigarette butts
Trash kicked aside
In a desert of litter
Seeking the soulless of death
Chattering...

Have you ever wonders the streets at night?

When the darkness is so deep it’s like trying to look through silk

Have you run your fingers along the leaves of low hanging branches?

When their covered with a...

It must be hard
To carry it around
That load of hate
Weighing on your heart
A powder keg
Waiting to explode
Hurting others but
Killing your own soul

You pretend it isn’t there
But now and again it shows
In what you say
In what...

They said to me,
make a wish under a violet sky
and that wish will come true...
never did I hear such a lie so true.

I left such a wildness
as those girls lost their ways,
mother and father shot...

Loves Definite

 An intense feeling of deep affection
Love

Love is depicted in so many ways.
We say love and share this love, in ways that seem forbidden or hidden.
Laced in secrecy, sometimes it seems foreign.
Mistreated, misunderstood and...

Watch out, brother,
An eye's following you,
Watching what you do,
Each movement remembered.
Don't cheat,
Don't steal,
Don't breathe too loud,
Someone's sure to find out.
Each flaw, each mistake,
And blow it up big.
Your life's another production,
A movie or an album.
There's a...

They keep watching
Forever observing
Constantly snooping
As the public keeps on fuming

For our safety we are watched constantly
Electronic eyes unable to account
For the nuances of human behaviour
Infiltrate all aspects of living
Criminalizing us
Laying bare all our sins

Intrusive watchmen...

The Prisoner Awaits Release



 He saw the dim rays cascading down
 the small room and his legs in chains
 One small window, sunshine's gown
 sprinkles splattering in when it rains

 Prisoner for these many decades...

looked in the mirror & saw that the lips that she

Tomorrow came...
Everything... had died...
The world was so empty...
Everything... was dead...
The trees and the flowers...
The sun and light showers...
Everything... died...
Sunday came...
Followed by Saturday...
The end came...
Same old day...
Where are you?
Did you die too?
I'm sorry to say...
I'm done...

Fruits noirs

Sans qu’on y prenne garde,
Le ciel se tisse du grillage
Sombre des branches.
Elles  s’étendent  chaque année,
Et chaque année,
Grignotent un peu plus d’espace,

Au point de parfaire une voûte
Et d’arriver à se rejoindre,
En confisquant le...
