Lurk Poems

Grifters and grafters lurk in the rafters

grifters and grafters,
hang like bats in the rafters,
feasting on the moths—
they charm while skimming their schemes,
build loophole ladders of graft

Where Shadows Lurk

Where Shadows Lurk
In the depth of night I wander,
Through the corridors of fear,
Where shadows lurk and ponder,
On the mysteries of the yesteryear.

From the shattered, broken windows,
Gleams a beam of spectral light,
Like a blade, sharp and pointed,
Piercing the heart of the silent night.

On the walls, I see the remnants,
Of the art, ancient and rare,
Where the light

Stories that lurk

There’s the stories
I don’t need to know
Of terrible things
In grand awful shows

These stories that lurk
On the edges of time
Wanting to surface
And continue their line

So here I am stuck 
With the palatable things
That don’t hurt to remember
And I want to sing.

Lust Lurk Luck

My life; my destiny
With life one fulfills rebirth
Rife money; more agony...
Waiting yet couldn't unearth

Warning: Barely Closeted Monsters Lurk Here

Warning: Barely Closeted Monsters Lurk Here!

Religious freedom’s what’s at stake! True monsters wage this war!
God’s told THEM (1) just when life begins (so faith that differs SIN)!
My Bible does not say, does yours? Raise hands if you’ve heard Voice.
But God, Herself, proves Thumpers (2) liars through fetuses SHE takes
from parents who would love the child

Depravity Lurks

(By GreatFaith) 

My human heart fails me.
My soul is burdened with crisis.
And strong is it’s depravity, 
Vengeance is longed with savagery. 

They say it’s worse than this,
My human heart fails me.
The sorrow and pain exceeds thee,
And hopefulness isn't hard to miss.

And strong is it’s depravity!
Fear holds me in captivity!
My heart wants their blood to fall

Argh What Accursed Fate Did Lurk

Argh...What Accursed Fate Did Lurk...

Regarding thee 2009 Hyundai Sonata
(50+ shades of gray), a cred
debt tub bull vehicle, that at
this moment finds sinking 
feeling akin to led
zeppelin, yes (for almost ten years,
this car manufactured with damn) sped
to countless destinations,

no whomever drove head
ding here, there, or anywhere,
yea without missing a beat said
vehicle dependable, rightly never left
being reliable,

I See a Narcissus Lurk

Minds stratified in complexity
The layers different in all living
The psyche forms unique entity
On alien parasites it won’t cling.

In deep layers many secrets hide
Search of sub-conscious can’t find
Probing calls from world outside
Echo, can’t enter the closed mind.

A lone prisoner of own making
A cocoon in introvert isolation
I see all the ugly faces receding
Me stuck in web of

Words Lurk

Words Lurk

Believe not,
	That you cannot.
Believe a word 
	Lurks round each corner of your lighted soul.

That a poet lives
	Within your heart, apart from any cold distraction.

And with loving action, 
share your being, leaving your print upon the world.

The Nights That Still Lurk In Your Mind

blurry vision
and impaired judgement
we are in your car
the music is blasting
some rap song
lyrics of drugs and money and large asses
you're bobbing your head to the booming bass
 and you wink at me 
slyly
through red, glazed eyes
joint in hand
you take a puff and pass it to me
i inhale and gaze out the foggy window
it's nighttime in

Monsters Lurk

Monsters lurk within the dregs of my soul
suckling upon my primitive urges.
And feigning normalcy, they're but shadows,
thus invisible; and invincible.

They stay somewhere between sane and insane,
able to influence reality.
And despite my defenses, wander free,
causing turmoil and havoc in my life.

Fear's an accomplice; an effective shield,
ensuring their movements are well concealed.
And feeding where there's the least

Memories Lurk

memories lurk beneath the pale,
behind the brow of sorrow,
too many hurts, the thoughts impale,
of lives in tempest and death grow stale, 
 lest, remembered, some tomorrow....
well known beyond the veil,
which no one else can borrow,
some try to no avail,
tomorrow yet tomorrow.....

At 4 years i told my mum i drowned at sea, and the sharks were

An Initiative Lurk

When you fail to entertain ask someone for voluntary work.
to learn about boring, to apply a healthy jerk,
Don't hurt anybody, build climax, wisely and warmly,
Patience can promote you when you have an initiative lurk,
Believe me, you shall seek an appointment for ceremonial Kirk.

Demons Lurk

Demons lurk
Flying high into the air
Spreading their wings

They follow demonic code
To frighten all who walk alone

They try to posses
The lost and unwary
Taking them alive

They create evil
Within the stray pumpkins
That just lay about

Making them frightening
Forming dark Jack-O-Lanterns

Demons will ruin
Through the eyes of a pumpkin
Any person’s evening
