prowler in the night, slow and calculated
your eyes already have their hooks in me

I am Poet.
The unrelenting prowler
of emotions

and I walk 

day and night,
reaching 

to edges of life.
And, through my creations-
my voice,

I give

words
to the unspoken

feelings, 
dowered with such beauty,
truth and pain....

I've always known you
to be a monarch, a fairy
golden wingdust scatter
all over my psyche

Do you remember
when we were flightless
like caterpillars?
Now you fly in a private jet, I bet

Do you still curve your lips
into a Mona Lisa smile?
Or do you weep now, from afar?
Do your tears stain the very petals
you touch with your wingtip?...

As if you care
Serial killer of the spirit
Finder of fault
Happily dissatisfied
 
Microscopic examiner
Master of cruel detachment
Offering negative affection
Player of head games

Restless prowler
Spreading unhappiness
Stalker
User of verbal abuse

Wrecker of relationships
You have become transparent.
The game is ended.
You are not a Valentine....

Full Trust I have in my power
Now formidable like a tower,
Before foes to not cower
Like the confronted by a prowler 
Or an infant in a bower …

Full freshness in my power:
I know in the next one hour
Things shall cease to be sour:
A new comeliness of Rose Flower,
Not a thing to make me glower;
An Early Widow for a dower…

A Pillar Trust in my Power!...

~     Herr Kevin Spacey Fowler


                         Gifted actor or gifted prowler?


               Seems his unusual center-of-gravity


                                   Changed dramas to depravity.     ~

spirit hunter,
you stalk the shadow moon
neck straining to uncoil upon diaphanous night

what whisper have you heard
above the creak of batten board
the shiver of a window pane

arched and graceful  is your silhouette
cat eyed guardian
moonlight prowler 
paw prancer

settle the unsettled ones from
fear and in insubstantial light
protect with tooth
and claw your Mother’s
night...

Light behind a sheet - Moonlight
A prowler in the clouds, werewolves on the ground
Wolf people anxious and agitated
Lunacy unleashed – 
They lope through the streets
Exhilarated, free –
Decent people hurry home, concealing sober fear
They scan the pavement, scan the sky - tap their cell phones
Pretend to be distracted with important things
The mindless night – the peaceful sky...

No no no Notoriousss.. 
No no no Notorious
So glorious
A joyous & 
Jubilant
Warriors and true to it 
Brewed to be lit
Overdue to 
Admit
Askew to a fit of many
Any plenty of shapes 
Draped with a 
Cape and powers for curiosity
A tower to prowler slick over animosity 

Everything withering at its own prone and velocity 
Either way I'll 
Still have my throne at the bottom of sea...

Lurking in the shadows 
Stalking her prey
A hunger burning inside of her
Taking pleasure in the hunt
She watches and waits
Like a panther sleek and silent
She moves in for the kill
Entranced by pheromones 
Her prey surrenders
Claws extended
She takes him in her grasp
She feeds upon weakness
She dwells in deceit
This demonic creature
A prowler in the darkness
A mistress of the hunt
Resembling a woman
