Dark Horse

She rides hollow into her night
marked by terror, marked by fright
void expression, empty smile
her crown, a mask, to beguile

She moves fettered into her day
contemptuous chip, her shoulder play
a hint of mulberry on the dew
weathered brow, She only knew

She dies slowly into her life
distorted, malignant strife
perception colors her rotting corpse
a crystal grey shattered horse

Forty Three

a number is a curious thing
the shape the color the familiar ring

reflections cast a pallid glow
winter's secrets over summer's tow

with magic beans and wicked tea
such fools take heart at forty three

The Awakening

the truth lies within me
and yet I know not why
I fidget and I fumble
fall to My knees and cry

skeletons clamor and stumble
over My demise
wicked vexed undaunted
last roll of the die

ire tears sear through Me
lips curse a weighted sigh
stripped illusions rape
My dreamless, ebony sky

on shattered bent knee
I succumb to Him on High
fragile diamond, jealous rose
on bruised thorns I lie

Something

my heart feels
nothing
which is something
one thing

my heart cries
razed tears
which is one thing
something

my heart wraps
ravaged wasted years
into something
nothing
