Where shadows try to hide from your view.
The moon is a mirror reaching for the light.
Rattling on the doors grappling with the dew.
Cigarette rims o...

Halloween Nightmare
...Moister dripping
With eyes red
Lips quivering
Heart exploding
A soul with unrest
Sparkling eyes dimming

Tiny hands upon face
Squatting on her knees

Killifish
...I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish
Baked, or fried in peanut oil
Roasted, dried, or let to boil.
Make me a star-gazy pie
Take me to the Catfish Fry
Lead me to the Chin...

I miss him playing with my toys.
I’m alone now in my bed looking

getting all comfy underneath the cotton sheets,
all's I could hear was the ticking of my clock,

Wandering over hills, valleys and deserts

Everyone's body is packed in a crate.
Torn to pieces and thrown away,

Shadows creeping closer,
Your eyes getting moiste...

Your, Dew Drops

But I ain't lying to you, my love
For your death, my tears, will compete with the rains,
That fills the oceans, to its full, to its brim...

Looking Out a Window On a December Night
...Those drapes of snow, which out my window dance,
like thy white arms, that my warm heart surround,
are ghostly visions false, heav’nly rants,
deceiving my mind, of no substance found,

And they didn’t use moisturiser....
They shaved with a sword,

My Play, Poverty's Play
...And if poverty whips,
largely, torments
In her barefaced snort of
withering grievance.
I shall be the one,
mannered by Earth's dog-
wetness,
To garner my broken
possession, murk and bins...
