once a life
I lived
filled with amusement
but a fool I was
till fate opened the door
to show me the carcasses
of my joy

Rusty carcasses,
forsaken by time,
battered by wind, waves.
Once useful and proud,
now broken, forlorn.
The tales they could tell.

Abandoned at sea,
dismantled, wasted-
carcasses of ships
join the huge graveyard
on Shipwreck Beach shore-
battling waves no more.

the millennium bug
lives in the human brain
hunts, capture, eats all things
stores the game in stomach
but leaves dry carcasses only
to those that feed it earnestly

I have seen them
Near the distant bush
Shriveled carcasses
Slightly gnawed
Partly “eaten”.
I have not seen - “IT”
And worry
About “IT’s”
Dining habits.

the republic rears beef cattle
feeds so well dairy ones
and calves are so fat
slaughters them often
but does not sell
does not eat any
does not export anyway
buries carcasses
in hot refrigerators

Imageries of tribal stench
Streets stretched in stray bullets
Carcasses charred in church
Women slit in the dark
A conglomerate of conference table
Littered with coffee and curfew
Monkeys mourning
Centre crawling
Sentiments sighing
Jos, a shadow.

I do not know?
Eco-locating dreams of a wounded me
Rejected by the fins cutters of bloody Reality
I had strong arms but could not walk
on powdered carcasses of my friends' hopes
they had only gills...lungs “saved” me...
drifting on a dry land with no melody...

Like a pride of starving lions,
lust's uncontrollable appetites fell upon the
herd of tamed virtues
devouring them to the last
leaving behind only the carcasses
of lofty ideals
for
evil's scavengers to feast!

Personification
We sank into the sea
Millions of years ago,
Our carcasses set to the sun.
We basked in our own erosion
While our forever-hearts were
scorched into the brown floor,
Wedging what was left of us
Into primordial adorableness.
Escaping into ghost love
Is a natural response.
Let us not judge so quickly.

Poison the water supply
And infect the crops with pesticides
Everyone dies
Doesn't matter if you smoke
Or liquor drink
Diet on sugar or fatty food
The healthy die like every other
Person who has lived a life of excess
They just leave a better looking carcass
And cleaner organ's
If they chose to donate

NaPoWriMo NaPoWriMoDay1 Carcass death time
Death and life,
Time slips past
As one ends, yet another begins:
Carcasses are left to rot,
While their counterpart is all but forgot.
Yet why the difference in care,
Between mortality's apprentice
And life's most fair?

The Meat Locker
The largest ice freezer of free-range Texan
long-horns where mice wore fur to survive
broke down, the carcasses began rotting
thrown into the bay.
The day after, sharks came to the surface
throwing up, turning the water foamy
For anglers, it was a bonus they caught
big marlins and red snappers

the last remaining vestiges of autumn
bitter clingers
parched and weary
shriveled in dismay
harried and harassed by an ill north wind
launch into oblivion
to join the sea of lifeless carcasses
on the forest floor

Electricity crackles in the air
roller-coaster careening
off its track as silver trumpets blare
Gangs teem and thrive in jungles
from Africa to American streets
shells of bodies without heartbeats
Naked greed meets raw power
each devours the other
~ carcasses to recover

Edgar my dear
Why do you have that spear
Is that your plan?
When in a jam?
Scare the bloody Kansas City yellow and red
When they fight the fowl volture appearing dead
Spirit Haunting
Spirit Daunting
Blazing under the Baltimore sun
Until Poe's poetic message is done
No swift moves will be here
Only Chiefs carcasses holding their Daly beer

Rhyme
Tongue soaked in tasty red
Painful water; it blots the bed
Vampires are at feast
Doom strikes whoever sucks least
Bursted veins, brawled roars
Shattered windows paving soars
Of beasts; two dead couples lays
Tickling death in its night rays
Hunger exhumes lost appetites
Like woods to termites
Carcasses left for vultures
It was a night of less surfeit pleasures!

The resonance of Time's ticking is unbearable!
Once you appeared on the warm and soft riverbed
Years passed stealthily
The 'elfin pinnace' glided on and on
The echoing life slowly engulfed you to a hallucinating slumber
And then
Left on the arid banks
Where even the carcasses of buffaloes rot disdainfully
You stare at yourself, shocked and wide awake...

From nigh'to morn te' crows knew;
So high yet warm O' owl's claws;
Near vile norm, shadows torn;
Nature's flaws, sins laws;
Rotten dead meat a mouse and retreat;
Vultures and search for dead carcasses;
Owl's Extending their claws, soaring down in free fall;
Vulture soars, they fly, they flew;

White house
On a white cloud
Surrounded by white trees
White hills and
A grey sky
The echo of white silence
Throughout the valley
Except for the heartbeats and
Scurryings of little critters
Digging for food and love
The smell of
Burning wood
Along with the pine surrounds and
The smell of
The carcasses of decaying critters
Worn out by another white winter.

Bio
On blankets of snow
Carcasses of my siblings lay.
I watch you now
Walk away.
Moments ago,
Your greedy eyes, knives,
Merciless shadow
Had snatched their lives.
As you merry about
The cozy fur and trophy heads
I prepare to ready the shroud
Tears piling around in hundreds.
Justice waits for you…
Justice of nature…
A world dry of animals, foliage, and hue–
Nature’s punishment for our blunder.

whispers of the past
rusty carcasses stand tall~
tales lost to the waves
the leafless tree stretch
birdhouse waddle in the breeze~
sanctuary high
beauteous full moon
shines brightly for us to see~
promises unfold
chilled birds find solace
kind heart, a thoughtful gesture~
incessant snow falls

After all this, what is it for?
I climbed a mountain only to face a brick wall
Drowned in my own sweat and tears
Wishing I had cried even more
I smiled when I saw
the flowers atop the trees
Only to venture nearer and see
that they were only snowfall.
Now I am torn
by the wire-like branches
Worn
by the whiplash of wind.
Buried
under carcasses of butterflies
Watching the stars fall.
After all this, what is it for?

Ballad
When the carcasses if the great
Befall a soft death,
The ambience of gold,
Beneath their master
Encompass a backwards halo.
The deity is waiting,
Betrayal of the seasons,
But only the natural cycle of life.
Each day more and more
Soldiers fall valiant,
As peace keepers of nature's order.
The season of the fallen begins again,
In repentance as it has always.

I do not know?
deep brush brown her locks
turned my key
pleading nutmeg eyes
her lips, face dried out from
too much jesus not enough sex
and here not even a cold hollow kiss
could dampen the warm nest we twigged
together a million miles stranded
off broken desire highway
here flesh puppet carcasses
burn their sidewalk gaze into the ancient wind rage
and cornered angels sing rock of ages to broken ears
who would hear
a song rising up to paradise
