Long Fatal flaw Poems

A new command would counter their attack
to stay the storm that harkens at your door.
‘Twould be a feat that stunned the iron pack
for nothing dared defy the wolves before. 
And though his pack could see...

Fool of Infiniti

A wanton bird pecks at the stars
A Jester peers through crystal bars
This prison of love with rainbow hue
Illusion parts to lets you through

On dragon wings forever free
You quest into your dreams to see

(Inveniam viam)

Far beyond these eerie things, where limits have no scales
Fish are replacing gills, with turbine aerated tails 
Sea level’s losing all meaning, for the humpback whales 
Ships piggyback them, harpoons syphon wind from their...

Sinister intentions are met with solitude
A ghastly grin greets the grimy windows
And who knows where the words will begin
But we all know they'll end in some awful rhyme
So forced and juvenile we'll be shaking our...

Home invaders
Climbed the fence;
Huffed,
Puffed,
And blew the windows in,
Suddenly, they're inside a mansion.
They came prepared
With large duffel bags.
They grabbed all they could -
A family heirloom,
Jewelry,
Knickknacks, etc.
Then one walks out to the balcony
And a caged parrot locks...

Do random thoughts and
scattered conversation
deserve to be a poem?
I think a lot of things
like that as I drive
from work to home.

All day I've tried,
and struggled to
make sense of all
I heard in a futile
attempt to celebrate
the...

"Resurrected Dawn"
In twilight's hush, where shadows dance,
The Dire Wolf's howl, a haunting trance,
Echoes through the ravaged land,
As humans tremble, at their own hand.

The scientists' hubris, a fatal flaw,
Unleashed the beasts, in a world gone raw,
The...

FROM OLD TO NEW

Come climb on me, my little ant, come
walk the planks of this ship called a body,
tell all the many-legged creatures, the creepers 
and night-crawlers, the weavers and diggers,
tell them all that I...

The moon had held a wickedness 
So unlike many of night I've seen
Embraced in an eerie listessness
While projecting an ominous scene

This night a warriors life was lost
One who unselfishly fought for all
She'd pay no matter...

A fatal flaw is something
That is part of personality.
It's something that eventually
Destroys a person ultimately.

Everybody has
A fatal flaw.
For some it is freedom,
For others it's the law.

For some it is
Their darkest fears,
Like heights or growing old
And...

Stuck in this position
Should she trust her intuition? 

Discovering her true desires
They burn inside like a thousand fires

Always believing in fate
Trusting she would find her true soul mate

A hopeless romantic at heart
Never wanting to be...

Man

Dark matter, anti matter, that was the starter
DNA, RNA to which God shall you pay homage to today?
The Creator, created man in his image
On a stage, behind a starry curtain.
In an enigmatic rage, the mirror,...

“I’m Strong Enough!” 
“How Dare You" think otherwise!
“This moment,” I've come to realize, “I’m Worth it.”
So, “Cry and Scream” all you want. “I’m Going Away.”

It was morning
and I found myself mourning,
for the child who'd disapeared.
In this court of illusions
I got caught in the madness;
my fatal flaw.

Now wrapped in sadness,
caressing the floor,
anonymity the honored guest.

Perhaps I should have guessed this...

Ask it

by C. L.  Higgins


Ask if you have my
heart one last time 
and I might say yes
in a manner of
speaking. 

Love’s fatal flaw is
having to hear it
said aloud. 
Having to make words
form around 
impulse...

A little dog is a gift from God
Meant only through life to trod
As a companion to solace our mortal
Frailties through love unconditional.

But loyalty exposes its fatal flaw
When devotion's bonds exceed human law
And penalty is death...

A pathetic pantomime this life
The plot going nowhere
An art house film 
disguising nothing as something 
deep and dolorous
A carnival of calamity
My face reflected in rippled glass
Distorted
Contorted
like a funhouse mirror
My mind a haunted house

“‘til death do us part” the vampire once said
 to his pallid bride, her throat blushing red.

I have this superpower
It's more like a curse
I can hold conversations with people in my head
But I can't do that in real life
It's why I avoid people
If there's no one there
