DESPERecho

From me, the reaper’s extinguished a rekindled fire, my heart gripped in his icy fingers squeezing and squeezing to the point it can’t beat with even a shade of the enthusiasm it once had, and squeezing more still until the mental picture I framed of a possible happy existence is out of my blurring head.…

Choosing Ground

Addiction can be stronger than the will to survive, and it’s as if he wants me addicted to his society and their self-righteous ways. Then I’ll do whatever he wants me to do just because my addiction to what they call righteousness becomes more important than my own will, and like a drug addict that…

Monsters@Play

Not in frame of anyone’s sight Only in shadow of All Hallow’s light Lost and found in masks of fright Defined not in day nor by night The will to be, a welcome end Daily life a what not when While the why escapes the bitter bend Of transformation to descend Over head, the boastful…

Sleep Spell

Awake in her mind, she lay still while soft dreams and visions flew through and past her as soft clouds fly across the mountaintops. And where do the mountains meet the sky?

Guilt Wish

You feel it, don’t you? One event after the next The flow of things One tragedy leads to another and another And the mournful shed their tears as the destructors boast their joys You feel it, don’t you? The tears, the joys and every attempt you have made to change nothing You feel it… The…

A Predator

What is it? We don’t know. It arrived not long ago in these woods. Leaves a footprint that’s not human. And it’s been killin’. Killed a grizzly with ease, from what we can tell. Where did it come from? Out there, from somewhere above. Some bright lights in the sky preceded the madness. It was…

Random Rhyme

Dedicated to Jennifer! Happy Birthday! Yay! 🙂 (See? I remembered...) Look at the goat, on the boat crossing the moat. If the boat were to sink, the goat would float, don’t you think? 🙂
