Marat and Charlotte 2
Act 2. A dark, empty stage.

Marat

It's all a blur. It’s all a little dizzy. 
I just have dreamed a scary dream as if 
two vagabond philosophers robbed me
and killed. I must admit it's a...

Barnabas Oral's Sightless Game
He plays throughout the house at night 
a braille touch for his lack of sight
and dreams of all the crippled things 
with broken legs and shattered wings.

The bandage on his wounded eyes

The Fear
7/19/2019
This darkness is all I know, 
a widow's wardrobe of funeral clothes.
It hangs curtained under my eyes, 
the seed inside me grows allowing the little girl I was to die.

Insomniac sleep walking down the streets,...

Cross Species Awareness

Beneath a calm ocean, man watches a shark.
They are same in size, but one has advantage.
Man is wearing a wet suit and long swim fins.
Shark is naked and is not bearing its teeth.

There's crowds in the streets all around the UK
Shelves being ransacked at Tesco all day
It's happening too in the U S of A

Seashore: the Tiger and the Fish
You're a tiger in the jungle, elusive, strong and free;
I'd wondered how I'd meet you, for I live in the sea.

And though I'd dreamt that one day soon I'd be no more alone,
That it is...

The Last Time Part 3
She counts the seconds while she's standing there…

Slowly, she opens her eyes, staring at the floor, too scared.
She glances at her shoes, one is half off, they're both scratched up and untied.
She says it's okay,...

God Weeps Through Me
I stood beyond the stars,
past the birth-cries of galaxies,
and turned my gaze to Earth—
and I wept.

Not with the tears of man,
but with the sorrow of God.
For what I beheld was not creation,
but corruption dressed in...

Viral Venture Capitalist
With clicks and tweets, the bright world at his feet,
Dressed with glimmer, he dances to the beat.
His tweets fly fast, in hope they trend and hatch,
Likes or swipes, trying to find a match.

Living the sad,...

Premium Member There Is No Escape From the House of the Dead
In a barren apocalyptic landscape,
under a withered, bare, and grossly malformed weeping willow tree.
Lies a lone stone which reads: There is no escape From the house of the dead.
The stone, in pristine state, stands as...

INTRODUCTION:  Hold all applause to the end
Erasing all challengers by moon of night.
Mark of the PANTHER with claws lock jaws
Branding its territory with swift  swipes.

He stalks the jungle
Polite stealth steps, rip raw

Shadows of Terror - Lion Kill
As the light dims and dances on the horizon
A menace stirs from its slumber, slinks from the shadows.
The game move to and fro, staying sit means certain death.

The eyes of death blink with certain deadly...

He felt the surge of a soul compromised
Seeing the way out of this insanity
Found the razor to unveil his disguise
Pierced his heart that she once set free

So swiftly our passage brief,
Our old house looks lonely sad;
Now like a stranger I grief
Upon the place once most glad.


Just way back when we lived here,
Yet now we know sad refrains;
There is a space for...

There's a bird in my head 
and it's freaking me out
because it won't stop chirping.

All I can envision 
are plastic dolls 
smoking cigarettes in the panic room
and talking about boys
The bird keeps chirping.
I'm trying to...

Amidst the Firing Rain, a Blaze the Sun
Breathing the air of a fallen cloud,
The dust got stuck in the back of her throat,
Adelaine, whence have you come?
High up above from the stratosphere,
I saw you like a tear in the open sky,
Fiery clawed...

Healing Heat
T’was on a coolish summer night
Amidst dusk creatures howling
Fullest moon in all its might 
Essence of darkness prowling
Life was going on despite
The smell of death still lurking
Hooting owls returned from flight
Whilst bustling fast foods working

The Top of the Stairs
Spiraling into misty dark
twisting invitation to rise above
what awaits at the top of the stairs
wispy sighs slinky down on steps
one . . .

confining moldy walls press
closer
little explosions of panic
