Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 38
Day 38
Pugnaciousness set aside,
Phantasmal was the anticipation,
Possessing each moment

Ours together, in his hands and mine,
I gave...

Inner Sanctum
Growing out of childish pranks,
With the storm and stress of turbulent teens,
I locked within my mind’s cupboard,
A portrait vaguely sketched, but never finished.
Rough it was, though fancifully done,
The silhouette of a masculine figure,
The Gallant who...

The Eidolon of Endymion
Inside a grotto scooped out by a wealthy earl for his seated pleasure,
There sat a bard amidst the edelweiss strung 'round the hole of leisure.
Fallen droplets of acidic water pitter-pattered in echoes across the...

Sigh (Infinity symbol)
Your damage leaves a scent like the way gun powder smells
I’m the only store where your hurtful ammunition sells
I'm the ground that carries the weight of your bullet shells

Acciaccatura
And filled with stars and the land
A pale gentle hand turned the hourglass
Of my soul
Stalking the alabaster moon
I rejoined once more
Those who follow the dream
Cutting through crests
Time the scythe of a barque
Treads...

In Life We Shared and In Death We Part
Dew drops fell on my eyelids,
as I lay upon dampened ground
I sighed and looked heavens up astound,
wishing for the pain to cease
I wiped my brow of all crease
with dismay my mind wonders
If it really is...

Crumpled Thoughts
Crumpled Thoughts
They wait – in hues of vibrating silence -
Like leftover orts of rumpled paper wimples
On creased clandestine journal pages –
Bent scraps of wrinkled inspiration
Smudged moments held in their one moment of time

Crimson Bouquet
In spectral glow moon's pallor,
country home towered ominously,
fortress bearing silent the tragedy,
ensnared within its stone.
Her footfalls echoed in the hollow foyer,
mournful dirge in the cathedral of loss,
mirth of yesteryears drifting through
grief shrouded chambers.
In the...

Prisoner of the Past
Smart and tasting tart,
Each bead of sweat that trickled down your spine,
Salt droplets upon the tongue
Reminding of times that were both yours and mine,
The moistened lock of lips,
Rapaciously a kiss long lingered on your mouth,
We...

Nocturne of Wounds
A pallid night, a void's umbral reign,
Emptiness, a phantom, claimed the lane.
A dirge of noir, a melancholic strain,
Echoes, sepulchral, whispered in the rain.
The phantasmal memory, a haunting pain,
The keloid scars, where shadows still remain.
A thunderous...

The Glass Basilisk
Denying the change,
Your lipstick clutched tightly,
But beware my dear those empty promises may leave you broken and deranged,
An erratic arousal from images of the high and mighty,
Worshiping an ivory tower existence complete with hollow halls...

A Swift Phantom Stalks Me
Do the dancing shadows of the swaying trees
make me grasp that all the shrilling fowls
have gone to rest and dusk will increase fears...
not until a stomping phantasmal image prowls!
A swift phantom stalks me,
I worry...

Costuming Halloween Just Playing Here
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

It is you, My Dear, whoever,...
