social, day,
Bruises disappeared, cuts and scratches gone
The scars inside will never heal
The roses are beautiful, your promises empty
You'll never know the way I feel
Self esteem removed, dignity stripped
Emotions drained, each day the same
How pathetic can you be to think
Somehow, some way, I might be to blame.
A horror story not fully told
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
A love so warm, now so cold
To be so high, then sink so low.
The battle rages on, each day the same
Our dreams and plans have turned to dust
Why is the pain greater, also the shame
When it's someone you love, someone you trust.

abuse, anger, betrayal, depression, first love, horror, pain,
wrap your arms around me a little too tight
let yourself be the noose that ends my life
tear ladders in my tights while holding me down
pull a little too hard and drag me to hell
take my heart, its in the center to the left
its yours, my darling, take it right out of my chest
clutch my hand a little too roughly
shatter my bones and call me lovely
take me to the Eiffel tower, guide me to the top
hold me from behind and give me a gentle shove
rip my ribs out with your teeth, one by one by one
play them like the grand piano, show them how its done
lather your lips with venom, careful not to taste
kiss me until my last breath, simply watch me break.

film,
The kind of film most women love to see
is all about romance, thus women pick
a type of show that paints the fantasy
of love sublime, so it’s dubbed a chick flick.
I like the fun ones and the sad ones too,
but there’s another genre I like more!
Though dramas with great plot will always do,
there is one type of drama I adore!
There’s nothing like good horror and suspense.
Inside the theater there is a hush
as tension builds, and feelings grow intense,
for your adrenaline will get a rush!
The films like Hitchcock made I never missed.
I love a scary movie with a twist!

angst, life, sad
I withdraw into the dome of only me
Floating unaware through your reality.
Warm and cozy in my zombie state
To the one in the glass I won't relate.
I laugh and dance for I'm insane
Repeat your thoughts although inane.
I'll cheat this life for all eternity
Send my hapless soul to purgatory.
Incessant chatter a barbed refrain
As I swim through the waves of pain.
For all you do is talk and talk
Alone and scared I walk the walk.
Desperately I embrace my own insanity
For all I see in moments of clarity,
I'm not immune nor even above
This horror you call eternal love.
So break the glass and pour the wine
In you empty promises I'll recline.

What is the point, what is the reason
For a new beginning- fresh Genesis?
To grow, expand; explore new regions,
And find the path that leads to Bliss?
What will come; what is to be?
(Such a fleeting, elusive answer!)
Who could Love this Monster in Me-
A Creature full of Hate and Anger?

With Percy drowned at Sea!
I am my Soul's sole Explorer-
A Journey through Eternity...

beauty, death, earth, holocaust, true love, war, world,
Our mouths and our souls mix as we become one,
Love second to none ...
The moon, that just moments before bathed our night -
Now swallowed by light ...
Huge clouds, like fresh mushrooms, bloom pink in the skies,
Soft-sparkling your eyes ...
Night, turned to day, with bright colors and aura ...
Such dazzling horror ...
Our mouths and our souls mix as we become one,
We burn like the sun ...
Our lives and world ... done.

They once met upon a poetry site,
shared romantic words by computer light.
His poems of rose pedals and floating doves,
her verses of broken hearts and jilted love.
Those touching comments soon lit a fire,
innocent flirting now burning desire.
Their public secrets fanned the embers
and played out before all the members.
Alas unable to contain their lust,
to finally embrace became a must.
Soon they soupmailed their secret plot,
to meet in the nearest Wal-Mart lot.
What happened next no one can fix,
for her light was turned off at Motel Six.
It seems her tall dark poetic stranger,
turned out to be the "Trailer Park Strangler".

Telling Tales
Very telling
truth buried in lies
hate disguised as love
weeds strangling flowers
corrupt gardeners
singing the devils last song
virgins bloom all white

Broken Soldiers
Broken soldiers, tend their wounds,
in sterile sunless corner rooms.
They bide their time in fretful hours,
to ward away the memories, dour.
These valiant ones, once walked upright,
with weaponry and means of might.
And nothing can remove the thoughts,
of war’s unholy moments caught.
Heroes of battles they once knew
give thankful prayers they made it through.
They went to serve when country called
defending home and giving all.
Broken soldiers tell their stories,
horror, love and bloody glories.
In cold, unsettled nights they come,
dreams of battles fought and won.

7th grade, dark, hope, war,
Hopes of happiness,
Laughter,
Turn into darkness and fear.
Screaming,
Shouting,
A spray of despair.
Tugged in my heart,
Ripping out my hair.
Nowhere to turn,
Nowhere to hide,
So much is going on,
Looking around,
Eyes filled with horror,
My country is falling apart,
Guns shooting,
Rebellious,
Tears of sadness,
Dropping down my cheek.
Gone are the dreams,
The hopes of joy,
Because of this war.
This war,
This destruction,
This tragic fate.
Where is the love,
The kindness,
The care,
For refugees?

Oh how I love poetry!
Soul songs of life and love;
Natural beauty penned by poets.
Blissful songs of emotional poetry;
Penning through human hands, poets;
A vast gift, well-loved.
Poems of joy, sadness, horror and love;
Observations of many lifetimes lived by poets;
We are blessed to have poetry.
Poetry-in-motion is the sweat of muse poet's brow;
a hobby well-loved.

fate, lust, sin, spiritual,
all we wanted
was a sneak peek
then lust fangs flaunted
piercing heart, fickle and weak
come back, oh time from your flight
that we may undo our feral past
savage instincts soul’s blight
but destiny’s die was cast
heart filled with remorse
within womb of life we atone
feeling pain pangs borne of force
exchanging roles, reliving horror alone
spherically experiencing heart’s emote
we live and learn to align with love
cleansed soul rides God’s boat
becoming His peace dove

patriotic,
We are one nation, one blood,
In times of sorrow, we calm each other,
In moments of horror, we cluddle together,
When we slip on the way, we hold each other,
When terror strikes, we defend together,
We are one nation, one blood.
We shed it for each other.

betrayal, christian, class, horror, native american,
shocked, as hair cut short
buckskins burned
praying,
in the darkness for rescue
all our gods forsaking us
pics of Him in pain
Teacher demanded belief
after all
somehow
died for our sins
what is sin?
A bright girl asks
later teach replies
now forgetting gods
of earth and fire
and dressed up in
lies of white man
kind lady
with love in heart
circles my neck
with crucifix
Realize
all our gods
are one
still praying
to great spirit
the one with
wild deer playing
in her heart

life,
Cracked mirror, looking in with strange, wild eyes
Looking back are tender but deranged sighs
Openness holds no bars as pain sets in
Focused on the mirror’s opposing sin
Before me is a demented figure
Posing as what I’ll be in the future
I shake, as depression comes to the front
I try to touch my soul but only grunt
I falter, my mind shakes within its ground
Don’t know the shimmering lights that’s around
My image reels back as if in terror
My blank stare hits home, I stare in horror
Mirror shatters to thousands of pieces
Just now do I hold myself, love ceases

For the contest finish the dream
I soon began to panic
As I yanked upon her arm
Somehow, I could not move my love
From the eminent path of harm
So I gathered all of my passion
Though her face, I could not see
With a strength I surely don't posess
I finally broke her free
I dragged her through the darkness
Toward a lonesome light
I ran with the pace of Hermes
Obeying the instinct for flight
And as we approached, this subtle glow
Her hand grew colder and colder
Then the light revealed, to my horror
She was dismembered at the shoulder.

Dark wing
In the night
Flying towards
The moon
Tis’ but a demon
Upon it’s way
Makeup on the counter
Teeth in my drink
Powder by the faucet
Canned roaches
Don’t run or skitter
They fly in the night
A white wing in my hand
A gun upon my soul
Snapshots of posters
Rotting on a train
Rumbling through a vision
Of coyotes and dogs that bite
Waiting for a dungeon
Damp and dreary
Chains around my heart
I can’t leave this place
Now
I can’t leave this place tonight.

~ Haunted Lighthouse~
(Free Flow Style)
Perched above water
Full of ghost stories
Lighthouse is so old
Lightkeeper still here
Love doing his rounds
This is still his home
Never wants to leave it
Lighthouse is so old
Some folks see his ghost
Sometimes he appears
They listen at night
Footstep sounds upstairs
Lighthouse is so old
He still cares for lighthouse
It's always his home.

When Love Dies
When love dies it takes sanity under ugly
Drops it in a foreign land beneath cold sand
No rock will take it underneath
It cannot fit or breathe there with the bugs
Because it stinks of death
Lost in decay disinteresting
Rocks have better things to do
They sit there on the brink
Some are solid in their dark
Say nothing of their fate
No reason to think of culture or living things
Malignancy is not their cup of tea
When love dies trees forget to grow
They know the better part of valor
Rooted in the truth
Discretion knows nothing of the pain
When love dies the memory remains

I am starting to like Freddie
At least he is steady
He may enjoy the drink
He may bring Liverpool to the brink
Honesty is all you will get
Even if his heart is scorched and bled
He has that iconic ironic smile
His verses crosses the hippocratic oath
From veins his prose flow
His love is pure his demons proudly on display
His bitterness feeds the infinite glass
Of the waiters last call
His words may bite spewing spittle and spite
Alas, who I ask, shall cast the first stone?

Happy Halloween everyone
??"Trick or Treat"??
Zombie pirates,
Ghoulish ghouls,
Slimy monsters,
Oozing drool.
Floating ghosts,
Warty witches,
Frankenstein,
Covered in stitches.
Bandaged mummies,
Dracula's bride,
Hairy werewolves,
Slicing your insides.
Possessed dolls,
Ugly scarecrows,
Thirsty vampires,
Slurping up blood flow.
Red devils,
Scary clowns,
Possessed princesses,
Terrorising the town.
The grim reaper,
Evil cats,
Scary Mary,
Oh I, Love all that.
Tonight's the night,
For "Trick or Treat",
Kids of all ages,
Eating too many sweets.

Though your heart be breaking and you don't know what to do.
I think it's time to quit mistaking and maybe get a clue.
The writing is clearly reflected in the mirror.
Away from this cad, you outta steer clear.
You see my dear misguided soul, it's plain for all to see.
He hasn't any need for you, so you should let it be.
You have two sweet and beautiful kids who need you to be sane.
So try to find somebody else, and start to use your brain.
Your Agony Aunt who never say's can't.
But surely will advise you, that you shant.

hope, love,
i lay searching
the night-grain nothingness.
discharged from the world.
still, It comes.
oozing through undefined space
in fire-grinning simplicity.
humming like steel .
It beckons.
and i am ready.
but It has long been in place --
this....dying
as all men die --
slowly,
by suffocation.
yet,
the black streaks
violet and orange.
you stir.
your untainted eyes open.
hold me
precious wife
in the world
a while longer.
