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....

Oh the horrors and pain of love,
For those that have seen it,
For those that have heard of it, 
And for those that has never touched it....

Dark alleyways loom, Within the dreamtime cities; Foreboding horrors; Of which I dare not mention. Beware alleyways of mind.

Premium Member Evading the Horrors of the Holocaust
hidden not to elicit 
a trifle response
spiteful mordacious
shackled on a horde race

cartridge loiter about the ground 
wizened with years

Stephen King
Have you seen the words of Stephen King?
Which reap from hell unspeakable things?
Horrors worse than death border your brain
And rob the mind of much needed sane....

unknown horrors they now face
theatres of war
fallen, in recognition 
we must save the surviving

Natural Language
Fallen Autumn leaves know the babbling water's dialect,
the language of the mute stream, Socratic running of its mouth.
Pretzeled on a stump, I dream what horrors and wonders I've missed....

Premium Member Broken Warriors
Broken soldiers
Splintered dreams
Huddled
The horror of now
Haunted
By the horrors of then
Scarred, sutured,
But as yet
Un-cauterized
Wounds
Forever bleeding
Into their present...

Head and heart misaligned
Happiness is denied
Halting the flow of thought
Horrors spawned by mind die
Honing silence with bliss
Hunger for God’s touch grows
Heaven’s light dawns within...

Horrors Taunt
In illusions
        senseless disorder
illogical reasoning
        embeds reality.
A lonesome
        improbability drapes
inner struggles,suggesting loss.
        Holding on to you....

Replenish Me
Despair reigns upon the sunrise

Agony awakens the motionless body

Endlessly traveling in unwanted horrors

Symptomatic desires

Observed only within darkness

A mirage of the mind...

Premium Member The Good and Evil of Mothers Milk
a cradle rocks with a lullaby
two small eyes closed and smiling
milk still on her little tongue

but what milk of horrors
locked up in the oven’s womb
succumbs the son of doom

Glimpse an empire in sweated palm burdened with pain centuries old; 
Horrors and stalagmites hang in beautiful tragedy Gods have told:
Within soil surrounding bluest calm, such memories you hold....

Dark Passage
The night is a den
  of mixed horrors

A trap
  where you sleep with the dead

Any light
  that’s remiss or left vacant

A pathway
  —to gravestones unread

Selfish Ignorance
Countless experienced
The horrors of war
Communism
World hunger
Undeniable
Historical data.
Then thousands
Witnessed his miracles
Heard the message
Yet distrust the Son
Of God.
Were the times lacking 
DVD’s?...

Father of Mine
Father of Mine,
What horrors have you seen?
That kept you from us
From the family that we could never be?
I love you
And I fear that the further you drift,
That you’ll answer L’apple du vidde.
Is it so wrong to be worried?
I love you....

Xenophobia
Above, behind
Calling down ever from gentle horrors inside,
Judging kindly, listening mindfully now,
Openly perusing quaint reality,
Staying truthful under vain watch,
Xenophobic,
Youthfully zealous.

Premium Member Man Is No Island
I think
I will
and I create--
keep your thoughts
pure, with a heart
full of love;
be conscious
of who you are
and the power
of mind—we
share both our
blessings and
horrors.

Man is no
Island...and the
universe, a sea
of relations....

Insuperable
I often wonder, when will we ever escape the buried
evils of past horrors.
   For I could shovel for days without count, and never 
reach the depths of injustice.
   Only to look up and realize, it will take longer to climb
out of a whole so deep....

Turn Me Into a Star
Running away from the horrors of this world
Fight as I do, my strength can't save me
So I pray to the gods and goddesses above
To turn me into a beautiful star

Too hot to touch
Immune from all
Light years away
Blazing brightly in an infinite void...
