O circadian singsong
of yearling’s cockcrow cooing
flautist opus slays

The pen
is a sword
that slays

in skilled hands
it is a scalpel
that dissects

my own
however
is a blunt instrument

and it beats  the truth out of me...

Mask makes me mazy mad
Asks alone as ambush assassin 
Silently slays safety sane soul
Killing knack kindred known kit

Play
Each day
As you pray


Pay 
Each say
To fit day


Stay
The way
Of fond play


Sway
Find play
Mind this clay


Day
Greets way
As love slays

On parting of ways
often crassness slays
sentiments tender
since hearts are asunder.

It's best to release
habit borne disease
that's outlived it's use
and now spews abuse.

She's tough.
Ana's tougher.
Barely seventeen, five stone
Gaunt and battered, she stands alone
Dependent on the lone knife that slays her.
I wish I could, she tells her food.
But Ana says I can't.
One day, she'll win.
She's tough....

He's that guy that slays you,
    always charming, ready &
       eager to lend a helping hand,
  a garish smile tucked in his hip pocket  --
    he's your friendly next door neighbor, 
         the quintessential serial killer...

Fear is the devils tool, 
Darkness is it's cover.
Fear breeds hate,
and brother slays brother.
Light is the Devils fear
He cannot bear to see it,
It brings his hatred into the open,
Where good can overcome it.

And with the forged visage of thunder's sword
Her sentry slays monsters of gray
Freeing astral blooms to spark and blaze
Across the brief November sky.

It slays without drawing a drop of blood
   In an instant, turns reputations to mud
Its eloquence sets the innocent free
   A serpent's weapon, resides in you and me

Guardian of a treasure trove of words
   Pink slashing plasma, mightier than swords...

Work day
Time slays


Learn how
Feel now


Words come
Poise sums


Sense here
New cheer


Bear strain
Flip pain


Dream thrills
Warm fill


Go then
Move trend


Heed call
Live all

Sight seen
the second sight sees 
the strange sight saw
the sadden sight sees seriously
the sorry sight slays suddenly
the splendid sight the spiritual sight 
seems silently
smartly

blood against own blood
dad slays son for renounced faith...
              unthinkably cold

Thoughts in turmoil 
Make the mind meek
Drought in rainfall 
Flooding the night

The scent of success
Slays in solitude 
Let sentient stand
To see beyond sentiment 

The brain you water grows greener
Like a toddler toddling
No deadline to making headlines...

A teen with his sleigh on the white terrain.
The sleigh up the hill and then down again.
     The sleigh clips a stump.
          The sleigh slays the bump.
The smile of his dreams says “your sleigh’s insane”

from the sky plummets

      a feathery blur with razor talons

            and cruel, crooked beak..


                  slays a serpentine shadow

                        in the grass, then flies off to feed

                              eaglets nestled at the peak....

Within a gentle breeze I move
carrying white before my eye
gliding forth a Canterbury sky

Lions roar and tees get crossed
puffs signal a strength inside
anxious slays abstention lost

Shifts in fragrant fumes ferry
crimson tales filter through light
as pure visions come to sight

Rest weary pilgrim rest...

Feelin’ fine,
Got some crazy thoughts-
Wavering in my mind,
Garlic on my breath,
In my mouth,
On my taste buds,
It keeps them at bay,
The rasp of their voices,
With their sheer speed-
They are upon me,
Licking my body with their harsh tongues,
Rough patches anoint my collarbone,
My shrill scream slays the demonic silence....

In the lull of twilight
                   
sunburnt skies 
tell of the Sun’s demise 
below the unified realm of distant shaded shapes -

and the sprightly sea breeze dies
as night slays the day

promiscuous pear prunes
saucy strawberry slew
nosing nimble nude
gaunt gasps grew
lanky lust lurches
outruns vying verge

felon fruits featured
pulse flavors punctured
aiding sassy structure

moaning machine's pleasantries
slays saucy stances
faddy fruits fling

tasty taste trained
clutches emotion's crave.

Like the finest wine
You taste so good
A vintage to be savoured
Men’s hearts race
With just a wink
And a smile, well
That just slays them 
A heart of gold
Lays beneath that breast
A lady of a thousand dreams
a female sensation
A vision of true beauty
Prettier than the finest flora
In all the world is our Laura.

In the midnite of earth's noon,

Sun's shadow blackens the moon.

Silver shades of pale desire

Are consumed within its fire.

Adrift in darkness of death,

The burnt moon struggles for breath.

Unremembering the plight
 
Desire brought, it slays the night.

This envious moon of sky

Sighs with dispassionate eye:

The sun too will one day die....

Little girls dream of a handsome prince, a knight in shining armor to sweep her off her feet and take her away. 

Her knight slays dragons in her dear name and holds his precious baby ever so gently as days pass away. 

Girls become women and dreams fade away. 

 My sweet princess dreamed the dreams that little girls dream in heavenly bliss as she passed away....

Wishes shattered Desires  Burnt
Of what nothing but ashes remain
Rinsing The poison of lessons learnt
Lost amongst the ruthless strain
Dreams frozen beneath the silver ice
Cold era freezing hearts to stain
Rolling snowflakes down the eyes
Untold hidden stories of vain
In the time when darkness slays
Secret whispers in tears of pain
Every Single memory stays...
