Deathly stares
Deathly Stares Upon the boat we sit and stare, At Sea and souls and sin and air. The fate of man is written scarred, The doomed condemned, the deathly barge. To Hell we sail, no Holy Grail pride, Can save our lives from waves and tides, Which carry us onward through this fearful night. No light in the sky of the afterlife. He pushes...

Why The Abyss Stares Back
Time passes, fear grows All eventualities Seep in like poison. A façade of peace, An underbelly of pain. Two halves of one world. Cracks begin to show. Forked tails in elegant clothes Eyes open to more. Wide smiles show fanged teeth – Hunched over those that still pray Is your God alive? Lands over the sea We used to think they stood tall. Now, all is falling. I’m a Nihilist For...

Premium Member He stares back at me
I dreamt last night of my father. He played on roller-skates, with grandchildren, more likely great grandchildren, yet to be born. It was a family get together, perhaps his birthday, or Father’s Day, coming four days from now. He wore his famous big smile. The one that makes everyone smile back. The children screamed with excitement and he laughed joyfully with them. Though older, he...

Premium Member I Feel Their Stares
Rembrandt uses shadows to elicit the mood respecting golds and glimpses of light Utilizing flecks and specks amid his dark colors browns and blacks come alive in his artistry his people are ready to step out of the canvas I feel their three-dimensional stares They are wizened, sage, aware of nuances Probably missed by me, but not by their artist...

The Boy Stares At You
THE BOY STARES AT YOU He is raggedly scrunched up Against a wall of sweating bricks, Staring at you with as much pride As life has thrown at him. You see he has no desire to make Conversation with a stranger To his stale, rank impoverishment But he smiles anyway with false bravado. His eyes question your unwanted presence, Loitering for a...

Clinging Stares Under the Cloak of Darkness
They get braver, it seems, under the cloak of darkness Like a monster from a bedtime story, Peeling back its human mask, allowed to roam free on the pitch-black streets And everyone, they think its you that is the problem. “That shirt’s too short to go out in” “You know, girls are getting trafficked at the mall now, you...

Shadowy Stares
When shadowy stares cast down with forlorn eyes, Not completely whole to maintain such gaze, It ceases to shine in times of lies. Fresh from crystal waters they glaze, Is it not light that gives her true form? To rise from tempest havens abode; By wars of thorns thrown askew in storm, Brings forth that which made her stare to decode. Stars which...
