Don't be scaryShe had black lipstick stains on her cigarettes.
A broken doll with eyes like the abyss.
Two barcodes hanging on to both wrists.
She said wait right here your really going to love this.
She bit my neck, blood draining from her lips.
A pair of fish net tights stuffed into both slits.
Then she went down, and I went down.
She...

Breathless, I can't BreatheBreathe in, Breathe out.
Breathe in, Breathe out.
Help Me! I can't breathe!
I can't catch my breath! I'm gonna die!
Luckily a friend close by,
gently caught my arm and said:
Calm Down! Calm Down! You're panicking!
It's not the in, It's the out!
You're brimming breathless!
You've forgotten to breathe out,
desperately clutching on, to what you have.
You're holding on, too...

JUSTICEIs this really worth it
To be a woman in a country like this
Where we are forced to shut our scream
How will any girl see any dream
Multiple cases of assault and rape
But still many say it's all fake
Is there any more way to gain your trust
Many lost their lives..is it really worth
The scars which u...

Hiding Alone
I always wanted my own dog.
Someone to sit under the table with me.
Fuzzy warm animal to hug,
When too much shouting from above.
"You can't have a dog!
Too many fleas,
Ticks you may not see!

Halloween
One day at a haunted house....
You'll never guess what I saw!!!
Well, it was a great big ghost...
Coming out of the wall!
The ghost just stared at me...
So I stared at it too..
And I thought..."This just couldn't be?!!"
Until that ghost yelled BOO!!
After it yelled BOO! at me!
I ran all the way up the stairs!
And guess what else...."I...

The Body Possession Horror
It started as a whisper, faint,
A voice that slithered through my brain.
Not my own, but just as clear,
A presence lurking ever near.
At first, a shudder down my spine,
A fleeting thought that wasn’t mine.
Hands that moved without command,
Footsteps shifting in the sand....

IncarnateBloodlet me, my precious
You can make this my willing sacrifice
To cure me of impurity, of sickness.
Cut gashes into my face.
Discard chunks of my body.
These cliffs into my mind,
Scars of unhealing, they save me.
Blotch my red everywhere.
Nobody wants my stained mind, but you—
You save all the sympathy—
Iridescent, darling, could you ever understand?
Can't you see,
I want to...

DamnationFarther and farther you go
I hope you dig yourself a grave
Buried and no way out
Without a coffin so I can watch you choke
On your sins you have made,
I hope karma comes and spits on your name
We were once family now I tear the title from the frames
Deeper and deeper you dig
You think you can get...

A Trick Of TimeTo live in the past must be scary a bit
Like you open the novel you’ve read
And it’s not quite the same what now you reread
What you have thought, felt and said
Seems distorted by memory, you ask yourself why
Should it continue like fictional
Though the fiction it’s not, but your own past time
Behaves in some way unpredictable
It's...

The OutdoorsThe outdoors.
Underground is where they live.
We walk mostly above ground.
We see flowers and walk on the trails.
The outdoors.
There are snakes but they get out of our way.
Trees fall down mysteriously.
They say it’s natural.
The outdoors.
The busy road does exist in the background.
I cross streets and bridges...

ImpotencyNot the truth of hierarchy
I loved the lie of life
Naked truth kills the humanity of falsehood
There is no religion
Death is the peace of heaven
Holy ground or the barbaric war
There is a tomb of screaming
Blind I see much
Deaf or dumb I speak much
No human is important
But God or imaginative prophecy
makes an impotent world

Look on the Bright SideMy wife picked up the phone and called her friend Lucy
Said we'll be in your haunts, we're coming to D.C.

It will take our dog, and the kids don't have school."
Lucy replied "Largo hotels shelter many an illegal
