Premium Member Dead of the Soul

On a hillside,far in country
Water edge of dark unforeseen
Like a soul, creatures scurry its depths
Tormented life behind the walls 
Trials of endurance, tragedy in lost 
Dead of the Soul it lives to feast

Buried like the dead only to be alive
A second breath just to die again
Like a plague devouring our every being
Lost in a world of conflict and love 
A demon within covered beneath the skin 

Seeking guidance, comfort of existence
The Being within driving the soul's darkness
Like a ghost, a puppet on a string
All I am, eyes of picture past 
A future among the God's of mortalities

Drowning myself in sorrow's grief 
Blood shed walls emotions speak volume
A dying being crying out the depths
A long time forgotten, escape of reality
Dead of the Soul, vengeance blood drips tasted glory

Inevitability 
David J Walker

This is how I turned 20 
With plenty of time left to 
Opine its wastings awaiting 
The sun to set
	The weekend to come 
Christmas 
	Birthdays 
		Summer vacations that
Race past the calendars edge 

This is how I turned 30
Looking over a shoulder
	To see who is catching up
Who is making up 
	For past mistakes and 
Begging for retakes for the many 
	Wasted opportunities 

This is how I turned 40 
Feeling the changes 
	To my body and
The beliefs scattered over 
The spectrum of 
	What is or
Is not to come

This is how I turned 50
Bracing for mortalities 
	Callings 
Hoping that believing
May facilitate the stalling 
	Of recompense 
On the final tabulation 
To come  and,  oh 
	Tipping is encouraged

This is how I turned 60
In quiet contemplations
	reflections
Concerning the reality of or 
The days  of coruscate refraction
that belong only to me 

Is this how I will turn 70
in the insouciance
	of what will be 
is the outcome inevitably 
predictable

I am the Dark!

I am the Dark

Silent to  unfair Partialities
Subject to Social Vulnerabilities
Witness to Minor Criminalities
Idle to Public Responsibilities
I am the Dark!

Resulting in Mass Atrocities
Waking up to Stray mortalities
Numb to Countless Disparities
Failing to Prevent Cancer Calamities
I am the Dark! 

Driven by guilty Estacies, 
Working for Common Fantacies,
Outstanding Plans to Briberies
Muted while recognising fake abilities
I am the Dark!

  Enough said! Enough not done!

Echos from the Soul!

 
"Work and Resolve!
Dream and Build!
Volunteer and Give!
Lead and Change!"

Trust in the Light!
Delight the Right!

Premium Member Shhhhhhh

Whispers cloud the judgment of weakened minds
wreaking havoc with the fragile balance of id and ego
humbling the sprout in its new greenery.
 
The winds are made of whispers, fear is their home
and each human husk shivers at the sound of them.
The unknown comes in the whispers of dawn, 
the burgeoning of night, the bloody bath of birth
and the shriveled skin of the corpses we become.

Whispers cloud the rage of temporal reality
beckoning with their softness, tonguing the ear,
licking the neck too soon stretched on mortalities noose.

Premium Member Inhumed in a Nuclear Eclipse

Kiss me when the sun sleeps
when the blazing sun doth rise,
hold my trepid skin timorous 
with a requited reassurance
we’ve not been broken
of soulmate incarnate
ecstasy within our grasp
of this comes beautiful
hold me tight, my love

Nirvana’s desaturated shade, awaits 
soft pink and warming gray, above
behind a burning turmeric glow
under an apocalyptic sky 
brawn banished, lips silenced
after every word is spoken 
sanctioned skeletal forms 
melded are two mortalities
fusing into one metaphor 

birth of man, woman, death infinite’s 
earth, wind, fire, water embossed
no diener for dystopia 
only death lives in destruction
crimson deserts recreated
 ashen corpse servant  
no hand his bones shall fall 
sealed is our eternal love 

our homeland a morgue
ossified cartilage caresses
immortalization in 
pulverized sand dunes
touched by the flurries
of vaporized gold dust clusters

opportune eyes fell upon
excavating earth organs ripped open
evil befell the resilient relentless
by all that glittered gold
golden buried stones
by the arid drones
our existence erased
no genogram depiction,
not relevant to treatment
ashen of undying souls
are there more lives,

…what do you think?
