The dagger flew
into the skin
piercing the heart
gradually his face grew cold
his eyes grew dark
slowly he faded away

icicle dagger~
the wind sharpens its tongue
against my throat
That one final
bullet
That one final
dagger
To use
on another
Or to use
— on ourselves
(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
I hold this shattered glass gentle with a trickle of blood
and it gleams against the sun
like a dagger
slicing poisoned fruit
The worst of foes is the one who conceals evil's dagger under amity's garments!

It is hatred that sharpens the dagger of antipathy which intends to stabb love's heart!

snowflakes drop slowly
cover the streets all in white
foot prints in the snow
warm glow of the sun
melting ice on barren trees
dagger icicles
One born to greatness is oft ill-fated
His swift denouement unanticipated
All the advantages repudiated
~ by his own dagger eviscerated
Shane Blaine walked with a swagger
and was viewed as a bragger.
Ladies liked him lots
but kept secret their thoughts.
Awed by his eight-inch dagger.
Ellipsis verses
Blackout like a blunt dagger
Blank note had posted
trust isn't a must
left me in the dust
Judas and Brutus
caused less of fuss
a dagger from with in
is worse than any sin
love has many faces
and a few disgraces
The black clouds roll in
yet the sun shines in your heart
that's what love can do
the illusion of the eye
the dagger that stabs the soul.

Dagger
The second of us
He swallowed a dagger through his chest
Three times they say
His lips turned blue
He was dying
But the life jacket read
Jesus @ work
Form:
Words, the say, break no bones
But they do break hearts:
The wound caused by fire
Or a dagger would heal over time
But not the hurt caused by a lashing tongue
branding
Tongue is sharpened by stiff disdain;
using insult that causes pain.
Like a dagger that cuts the vein
which victim’s heart cannot contain
for ridicule and scorn remain.
Walrus tusks are longer than I thought
Length of a yardstick, new and store bought
Females' tusks are much longer; they serve as teeth
Sharper than a copper dagger in a leather sheaf
My eyes dark as coal my skin pale as snow my mouth dripping with crimson my teeth jagged and pointed my tongue like a dagger i look into the mirror i see what others do not inside of me
frigid cold
upon the plains
noses drip
***
frost
upon tree branches
birds chirp
***
icicles
on the roof
crystal dagger
***
snowman
on my lawn

nose fish
carousel
fresh eye
hang man slate land lord
rent collector nice
colleague pay miss guild
cauldron children rise dagger misile
cod capture
rupture day
cold spleen
we witnessed
crime and intrigue
that slips
her dagger
through the stars
the conspiracy of night
if we don't
let the
right hand
know what
the lefthand is doing
When one hears the morning call from chase valley
sounds of nature’s reveille upon the breeze
out of these chains that refuse to set one free
thrust of the dagger.

The first drop of blood
Who dare wield this dagger
It is I, Brutus
As I yield and stagger
Under watchful eyes
Caesar's cloth has been torn
An old era dies
A new Caesar's been born
I would rather be in battle,
Facing death with dagger in hand,
Than
Risk losing, even for a minute, what
I truly love: Freedom!

One by one,
They push
This dagger
Through their souls
Montague and Capulet
Star-crossed lovers
So deeply in love
We cross the stars
Claim that
Love is just
A test
We married
In secret
chewing
misery
a dagger
in the morsel
jabbed
slash on the heart
an evil thrall
enslaved
my conscience
my mother the morsel
she rebirthed
as the chicken
i just ate
