Premium Member I Put the Fun In Funeral

Whenever I die
I much rather they not cry.
Rather just goodbyes.
No pity, nor wonder why,
Just God opening their eyes.
Form: Tanka

Dead Road

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.


Premium Member Time To Go

death hovers bedside
hollow eyes without pity
alone with my guilt
explanations meaningless
schedules must always be met
Form: Tanka

Blight

Nothing grows on salted earth,
Finding only empty husk .
Tilling the soil of layered death
Causing blight with every tear.

System Overload

Darkness consumes me
Corrupted thoughts take over
Soul becomes hollow
Self castigation occurs
Tears of blood destroys all hope
Form: Tanka

Hatred

Every drop of blood
I don’t care if you‘re bleeding
I’ll watch you suffer
Every minute of your life
Celebration is started
Form: Tanka

Forever

Smelt
Like venom
from a lover

Laugh
A bond
A missile

Face
My joy 
My demise 

Him
My life
My end 

She's dead

He pushed the wise king
down the high castle, now he
takes his father's throne.

Sixth

Skin and bone let them go 
Leaving our souls alone 
Tell them sure to God 
Not all of these mess
How the sixth they all missed

On Bended Knees

On bended knees I felt the horrors
Of death as it gushed out blood on me
Behind closed eyes,
On perky breast of a female death.
Form: Imagism

Beyond

Where darkness,
Goes to rest,
Cold, unwelcome,
Territory,
Silence towards the end,
Fleeting figures,
Whisper,
From,
Beyond.
Form: Elegy

Tess

What's there scarier than death?
Whispered John with a full yawn,
Glanced over at sleeping Tess,
Moved away an inch - well done!
Form: Lyric

The Marble Stones

Silent Stones
Granite and Marble
Testement to our Mortality
Sun gazes brightly, blinded by sonder
Upon memorials to our fatality

Face It

It fear it... I face it
I see it..... I face it 
I am alone... I face it
I face everything and I only know that I have to face it.

Ant Colony

Poison dripping down,
Countless invisible screams,
The subjects are dead,
The Queens tomb unmarked unnamed,
Her Empire is no more.
Form: Tanka

Cicadian Rhythm

cryptic cicada
nocturne of tymbals thrumming
cicatrix in brain

dead silence of night
my last breath in abeyance
for cicada song
Form: Haiku

Night

Vision diming. Losing balance. 
Lights flashing. Heartbeat steady. 
Empty seat. Feeling shaky. 
Blood like meat. 
Drunk like rage.

The Tanka 31

Though it was assured
His peace has yet to come still
even with the crypt
his tale made it to the shore
and he never did look back
