Dead Road

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

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.


Verily

I sought out
the day
and when
I couldn't escape the blame
I never
died of shame
verily
a poisoned pill
I couldn't take.

Trickle of Blood

I hold this shattered glass gentle with a trickle of blood 
and it gleams against the sun
like a dagger
slicing poisoned fruit

The Footles for The Steps Of Demise

His eyes
Lies
Don't suffice

My eyes
Fight
Hide

Our love
Black
Slack

His love
Malice
Poisoned chalice
 
My love
Naked
Pequod

Poisoner

red kite circles
   
   and gazes earthwards -

   skilled hunter



   shadow gazes skywards

   and places poisoned corpse -

   coward

bewitching she glared
onyx eyes

jet black gown
graceful and sinister
with her heart of stone
and poisoned lips

There once was a witch from a wasteland 
Who had a poisoned mouth and hand
Whatever she touched 
Turned into rust or to dust
Her breath made everything sand

Horrid end
It mirrors my failure

Gut-Wrenching Tale

There was a diner cook in South Hupper
whose food was bad from breakfast to supper.
Tried to make it right
sadly lost the fight
when shot dead by a poisoned up-chucker.

A Poisoned Bed

A love that is not sated
Lies in a poisoned bed
Where monsters just created
Writhe, unliving and undead 
None knows on what they're fated
None knows on what they're fed

Bliss--Fool

In a moment of blis.A poisoned kiss;
Akin to nectar...A virgin miss.

The Poison

The poisoned majority are blind to think they are free,
Unable to see the limitations of poverty 
The bacteria is money like a man made virus
Developed to confine, control and divide us.

Premium Member Blue Rose

My heart, sad. A blue thorny rose. 
Poisoned petals, cold. Food for crows. 
Cheating from afar, 
promises promises, how weak. 
Liar, sliced, split among the creek.
and yet here we are.

Saddled with this task
burden
beast
of razor colour scheme
years of crumbled paint
the dust in lungs
a poisoned dream
still clinging
holding breath
to clear the air
between the stitches of a seam

Low For Me Laying

Low for Me Laying

Saw him down there low for me laying
While always worthless things saying;
Chemical in vein diluted;
Poisoned not electrocuted;
With people's lives should not be playing.

Broken Promise

Troubled thoughts, trickling time,

whispering wishes, wasting wine.

Staring solemnly, sitting still,

persons promise, poisoned pill.

Beyond burdened, beckoning bed,

drunken, dazed, dizzy, dead.

Oregon Trail

In-pine-sweet air
In humus soil
Is where I rest, away from care,
And trail weary toil.

One morning feathers filled the air,
With wooden shafts that sped
And left this traveler to lie
With poisoned arrowhead.

Rainbow Rollercoaster

Bloodied moon and fallen stars,  
Monstrous skies and poisoned lake.  
Sewage seas and munched up mountains,
murdered birds and tortured animals.  

All bruise a hallowed heart;  
falling off a rainbow rollercoaster.
