She's an eclipsed daughter, satanic stars slaughter, 

as smoked skulls scream powers, dead enchantress flowers....

What path, this road of white stones
This closet full of skulls and bones
The strange lies that live alone
We grab each stone from our past...

Trying to find some skulls and bones

Untitled #19 / a Thousand Skulls
A thousand skulls litter the battlefield
the stench rises, vultures fall
rivers run red,
“wasted wars and selfish pride”
How many of them knew the truth?...

Hatred
Hatred

Hatred sits upon his throne of skulls and bones wearing a crown of fire and a robe of blood and thinks on how to kill Love.

The Day of the Dead down Mexico way,
Spirits are saved. Food and dancing are gay!
Skeleton shaped toys,
For all girls and boys,
Tasty sugar skulls are the hit of the day!...

They are still laughing Those little skulls in the wreath Surrounded by pine The needles jab in their sides Through pronounced evil faces

Abyss
Skulls on the wall of this dark abyss
Forever looking for the end 
Suffocate diminished air
O' endless pit of doom
Why do you insist 
Upon making 
Me suffer?
Please help
Me!...

Melted skulls and sagging sails:
what growing old with tats entails.
Few give pause to stop and think
how time’s patina colors ink.

God To Me Should Say
God To Me Should Say

There must be answer along with way,
We had discovered in Bible on display;
Page after page;
Mind engage,
God through thick skulls tried to say.

Man and Wife
Dreamcast silver
solid pikes,
made out of human skulls.

Window seated
man and wife,
drown the coach with love.

Angry voices in my head
sense the sight
and smile.

Midnight murder flowing red;
cold delight
reviles....

Khalo
Frida died today
sixty three years gone those brows,
but her art lives on.

Such pain and great strength,
with fierce love for painting,
and for Diego.

So many selfies,
Mexican skulls and culture
a unique vision....

                   cracked, hollowed 
       showing, decomposing, wounding
  Remains, Graves, Cemeteries, Mausoleums

                    damaged, vacant

Premium Member No Teeth
What are these
small, toothless skulls?
I asked naively;
What are they? What?
They are the skulls
of babes taken from their cradles
abandoned to die and rot.
