Silently Still

Hidden spirits motherland,
    destructions chosen horror.
Decayed barren grounds,
   ravaged territories dilapidation.
Debris leftover magnetic fields,
   crawls nuclear poisons contamination.


Ruins

           graphics

                          stand

           strongly

obscure.

A Life Lost

A dad he was to my man,
lost in a world of abuse.
Selling all he had in life,
to fund his addictions.

Digging flesh  from bone,
stabbing  bugs crawling wild.
Demons appear in torment,
beaconing him deeper.

A knife into the thigh,
sent him sickly out.
Hospital tests for all,
not knowing the truth.

Infections settle silently,
staff reared its ugly head.
Confined in solitary moments,
being alone and scared.

Stitches close the injury,
sickness embeds his soul.
Taunting images haunt him,
through every corned space.

Eyes cloud with blurred vision,
surgery required suddenly quick.
Sight saved from blindness,
doctors breathe with a sigh.

Something else has happened,
immune system has shut down.
Disease rested in his marrow,
the fight fire life has begun.

Myloid Dysplastics Disease,
fogs his body hard and cold.
Respirators knocking loudly,
asleep he has no choice.

A gasp of air was his final,
machines took over from there.
The last time we would see him,
full of any kind of life of his own.

Two weeks has gone by,
no change for the better.
Septic shock attacks kidneys,
we all seen him enter heaven.

It was a total all together,
from the time he stabbed his leg.
Four months from that day,
his end would be forever...

Loving You Through Hard Times

Times of change vents in breezes,
whistling sorrows...but for a moment.
Pleasured diamonds shine like spring
in seasons of dull haunted misgiving.

Kindred spirits entwined together
standing against all life's battles.
A blessing here to finally see through
the horrors into a wonderful friendship.

My heart reaches out with undying love
to comfort emotional anguish inside.
Prayers sent to heavens thrown room
to bring peace back into your sweet life.

I’m sorry it took so long to write you
for sickness had settled within my body.
But know that my heart goes out to you
and loves you with all that’s within me.

A Truckers Wife

Placing my heart upon my sleeves,
posting fragrant aroma in empty rooms.
Wanting inner passion to erupt volcanically
only my love is emptied in loneliness.

Silent walls call loves emotions loudly
frames of desire paste deserted entities.
Sleekly punishing my broken chamber
into pieces of puzzled prisons locked jail.

Longing for fires flames to come home
yet over the road  trucking he must be.

People have to eat,
and need other things.
Although for women like me
we must sacrifice for everyone.

Left alone without our love
to comfort us at night...

Dream Weaver

Phantasmal mysterious spectator
lingers between reality and dreams.
Waiting, weaving spectacular wishes
from our hearts chambers of solitude.

Fabricated images in complicated braids
creating rainbow crossings of tempered color.
Whisking sand matted eyes into designed visions
dancing on clouds of impressionable illusions. 

As inner hallucinations castle bridge is drawn silently...

Appetites Weakness

Sharpened fear settles upon me
in pools of dripping pleasure.
I toy with affections haunting,
inner flavors of temptation.

Solitude confinement concurs
my inability to resist it’s taunting.
As my thirst gathers tortured time,
restless winds glaze my atmosphere.

Whistling sensations chill tingles
within my bloody souls chambers.
Calling out passions screams of honor,
groping every blade of bitterness.

With a sweet savory desire
of appetites weakness,
I can stomach of your love.

Disappearances

Fake News Story
AP Press
Cheryl Ann Reporting...
July 17,2007

  Millions of people have vanished this morning
from off the face of the Earth. Trains have jumped
tracks, Cars have ran into ditches, and airplanes are
falling from the skies like rain.
 
  Disasters are everywhere in the land, horrors untold,
people screaming “We didn’t Listen” as they search
for loved ones with every turn. There are no children
playing in yards or playgrounds as they have all gone.
 
  Have we had a mysterious event happen here?
I have spoken to the Pope in a conference to reveal
to the world what has happened...
 
“Sir, can you tell us where all these people have
disappeared to and why all the destruction has taken
place on this bright shinning day?”
     
“Well, I am afraid the Lord has come and taken
the bride away“...The Pope answered.
Then Pope “Why are you still here then?”
“I am heavens reporter and was sent to report on the
happenings of all those that didn’t listen to what the
Lord said to them and follow him“...The Pope responded.

And before my eyes the Pope disappeared...gone.
This reporter is at a loss for words.

There you have it everyone.The Lord has came and
gathered those he calls his own.Prepare for horrid times
my friends,as we are all in big trouble.
 
This reporter is going to find a bible...

Real Passion

Pleasures play of affections
awesome dedicated excitement.
Devoted whole heartedly to life
of ecstasies adoration.
Craving enthusiasms obsession
with great infatuation.

Buried Silently

Electrical passion fevers
pleasures painful heart.
Graphic nature plays fiddles
upon strings of foreplay.

Mercies infatuation dies
glancing at stolen love.
Visions blur upon remembrance
of yesterdays torture.

As you bury our love
in silent graves of murder.
