Storyteller (Nonet #1)
Shadows cover the bullet by half. Father buck scavenges berries. Offspring of His fathers faith. Man waits high in the larch. Cumbersome stomach. Rifle prepared. Trustworthy. Patient. Time.

To All Aspiring
The cold man,
the starving youth
walks the destroyed roads.
Through the fields of corpses
he scavenges the water
while wishing to fill
the withering cave inside.

The warm soul, 
the hiding one,
moving through the solemn life.
Denying those who taunt her
she lives a troubled life
and all she really wants it to
tell the world her story

This is to all aspiring....

War
The innocence of daughters plucked off their souls
Orphans spread wide, agony on streets
Scavenges merry on rotting heritage 
Nation's sweat burning, humanity's creativity scattered in ashes
Men were not teary, nor deterred by their transience of life 
They match, hoping to wreak the bloodthirsty beast
Of vengeance and wrath 
They carried the future's hope in the search for peace...

Like your blood stains the floor
Smearing squalls of liquidated life
On the palms of your scribbled war

Squeeze your heartache with your hand
Like a sermon spills a pariah’s plight
Cleansing the sins of your visceral voice
With the tears from which you write

Strain the sediment of your strife
Like starvation scavenges a gutted shore
Siphoning the spoils of weeping wounds
Dripping from the lines of your lore...

Unspeakable Horrors
The beast roams and scavenges
Searching for a carcass to feed upon
Sadly, he is well fed on souls that have no care
Filling his pit of a gut
Licking our wishes from his chops
His stomach rumbles with unsettled dreams
His breath a stench of hopeless rot
“What is this unspeakable horror?”
‘Tis what is whispered in the dark
His name by evil as the thoughts and deeds
	Committed
Attracted by greed, vanity, and lies
Pray that he has not caught your sent...
