Layin down this heavy sword for a spell,
Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame.
A shadow cast thought I knew so well.,
Layin down this heavy sword for a spell.
Open arms long for hugs, but who can tell..
Love left a heart broken yet whole again.
Layin down this heavy sword for a spell,
Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame.

Scarlet Raven

alleyway bandits beat the man till he dropped,
as they were rummaging through his wares —
clad in crimson armor a vigilante appeared,
everywhere — no where like a ghoulish phantom,
one by two till all five lay scattered — splattered,
ripped apart by the golden gauntlets of scarlet,
and then it was gone in the zephyr — like smoke.
a bloody canary singing a lullaby of Roanoke.

By Whatever Means


“By Whatever Means” 

Halos are us
shining examples
of fallen poetry

gauntlets warm 
hearts pumping blood
dog catchers of thieves

lives stolen 
then retrieved 

by whatever means

our quarries
captive, then fed 
to Cerberus

Halos are us
shining examples
of fallen poetry

lives stolen
then retrieved

by whatever means

Slam Time

So you think you can rhyme
go ahead, ring that chime
you have no ability to compose a verse
or the drive to excel in this course 

So just go ahead, try your best
but I will undoubtedly be unimpressed
perhaps you will someday aspire
To be so good with the Lyre

Go ahead, the gauntlets thrown
try your best or be disowned
you'll never be better then me
even if you live 'til four thousand twenty-three
