Short Ravenously Poems

Dark,
ravenously ruled the rocky cave for many hundred years
fearfully fled to the firmament when a little lamp brought
Light

This is America. 
We kill everybody equally.
So do the Neo Soviets.
So do the English.
So do the Chinese.
So do the Muslim extremists.
So do the...
On and no it goes.
A meat grinder of death.
More fresh kills are needed.
Feed the death machine.
It's ravenously hungry......

I sneak and slither in the darkness
I steal, lie, and waste
I ravenously eat the candy
It's the rush not the taste

I live for the high
Yet feel nothing but low
I'd pretend to be alive
 but why put on a show

For your enjoyment here is the liar
Here is the lowliest of thieves
Here is what they tell you not to be
Only through deception he achieves...

Perfect Playmate

puny pink primrose
pursuing phantom pleasure 
pecking playful puff

Quitter

queasy queen questions
quirky quail's quivery quacks -
quill quietly quit

Ride

rain rake rattling raft
river roared ravenously -
rider relished ride

Being as wild as wild comes,
             he came and Tucked his
             weary head INTO MY BED!
             My, what fun we had.  

              with his popsicle, 
              we ate ravenously.
              was it real or was it in fun?
              I had, yet to find out!

              What would he do 
              if he only knew,
              what his love meant?
              True or False, we felt!...

I constrict and recoil from the bitterly cold wind
The sun so bright it hurts through the clear sky
Soft melancholy music bounces from the perfect acoustics
And I drink my despair ravenously as I cry
My winter's pain is almost too much today
Profound sadness shoves me violently, 
tearing my old sweater
scuffing my worn shoes
I mutter some passive nonsense to myself
Hoping tomorrow it will all go away
Hoping tomorrow I'll find someone besides
me to accuse...
