On regret's silver platter
Sinister outcomes,
To weave the dreams of your fate
Be stronger than your nightmares

HER

A mistress so sinister
Sinfully embraced by
the depths of lusts's 
fulfilment.
Erotic and calm 
as if palmed by a balm,
so sweet yet forbidden.


Catastrophic Dreams

sinister thoughts
total bizarre
alarming 
where to go ?
if the night's rude
dreams are all mean
sleepless nights, no peace.

Rain

Rain.
Cold, dark.
Freezing, drowning, dieing.
Clouds weeping sinister sorrow.
Pouncing, dancing, dripping.
Beautiful, painful.
Water.

Claws clutching at your throat
Opening up your veins
Red and rich runs your blood
Placing your very life
In danger so dreadful
Of a death undesired

Oh the Divine Yet Sinister Laughs From Below and Above

We drink your blood while we laugh at you in your drowning lungs we feast on your skin and flesh. We are hyenas that stand on two feet we serve leviathan melter of those that sleep.

Then Trump Took Aim

Then Trump Took Aim

Ready, set and than Trump took aim;
His strategy became more of the same;
Might be minister,
Who was sinister;
Democratic Party he is sure to blame.

Creepy

It is dark,
Quiet and oddish.
It triggers phobia,
Spiders crawling under my skin.
It is hallow and sinister at best,
And at worst, ominous.
Oh how creepy,
The cell in my head.

Synnestar

its darkly sinister, the smoke it swirls slow
down below are the throws and remains of our souls
wicked winds are a given of winged breezes hidden
on dust as our dusk flocks with nightmarish vision
Form: Lyric

Mystical Moon

Mystical Moon

Sweet Selene shines soothingly,
Waxed full, full formed,
Portends potent portents of some import
Some silent, some spoken
Some sinister, some saintly.
Mystical moon, lunatic Luna..

Premium Member Menisci

Let me touch
the curve
of your cornea,
I’ll share
my own
convexity,
each,
my blue 
and
yours, 
linked visions,
hallucinations,
certainties
and sinister,
right
and
left, 
quality,
quantity,
inverted worlds.

Sinister Tightwad In Westminister

Sinister Tight Wad In Westminster

Someone sat that he became sinister,
When called tight wade in Westminster;
Where he did go,
Was called a weirdo;
In plate he had placed his pet hamster.

Dragon

Dynamic and huge with sharp claws,
Rampaging the castle,
Ancient kings fought the green scaled creature,
Green poisonous scales sinister and deadly,
Once seen in ancient myths,
Never to be seen as real.

Here lie the remains of a minister To the ladies he did administer His charms never lacking, He was seldom slacking But his motives seemed somehow sinister.
