Strutting
Strutting whores of hate
strike out at the world
hating themselves for loving you
bubbling mud overflows
and demands to be heard
faltering void beneath feet
hating themselves for wanting you
deceptive creatures
crawling under skin
a loathsome town
of evil guts
hating themselves for hungering for you
bottomless crater
scraped walls and
dangling truth
shudder of acerbic
words not seen
or touched but
existing in
malignant eyes
hating themselves for all you do
nightmares in
beds of hate
flowing blood
down streets
of acrimony
hating themselves for adoring you
buried deeply
in scarlet bulbs
of hatred
bottomless crater
of death looming
larger than pain
hating themselves for touching you.
Don’t Look Back
Shed your snakeskin
’neath your feet
spur of moment
Just walk on down the road!
lone wolf howls forlorn
as sublime is savored
in willful nights
Just walk on down the road!
sense and sup
the sinful skin
unlock handcuffs
of tight restraint
Just walk on down the road!
grab the radiance
of smiling sun
ignite the sky
in pain and fury
Just walk on down the road!
seconds lost
if you pause
your breath
find the place
where yesterday
absconds
Just walk on down the road!
endless horizons
feel every sensation
of ecstasy
immerse waist deep
in fervent oceans
Just walk on down the road!
Inside
Tears bathe the walls
in tremulous sobbing,
tasting rooted seeds
of hovering tension.
Soul leashed
to dark floorboards,
wilting in gloom,
permeating room.
Water stained ceilings,
pungent debris,
clipped wings,
and layered skin.
Room full of silence
and eroding bones.
I’m locked up
inside of a man.
I beg to be free
I want to be me.
A Deal With the Devil
Leaves fell to the ground that day
Covering the earth thick with decay
The scents in the fog seep moisture and rot
As I'm digging this grave out of sight and earshot.
Midst the tombstones and mist, the devil will see
My hands coated red from this damnable deed.
But no matter. It's done, and I'll finish this game.
No more will I cower in weakness and shame.
Your fist will not rise if it's buried in earth.
And you'll spew no more filth with a mouth full of dirt.
I will live life unrestricted beyond your domain
Wishing maggots feasting freely on your putrid remains.
You once termed me evil--a demon from hell.
As it turns out, my love, you knew me too well...
Rebirth
As the spirit sat and watched the girl on the other side of the mirror, he felt such sadness. Despite being dead for only a short time, it felt like an eternity. He watched his wife with loving eyes and watched as she.......lovingly caressed with her soft fingers the sensual little budge expanding her tummy. He felt tears in his eyes as he joyfully realized that he was leaving a part of himself with his beloved wife. He only wished he could reach through the mirror and experience this new life with her.
Out of the corner of his eyes, to his surprise, he saw movement in her bedroom and was horrified to see his neighbor, Chance, saunter in behind her, planting a tender kiss on her neck. She turned her head toward him and drank of his charms deeply, giving herself fully to him.
“Stop, stop!” he yelled but no sound came out of his lips behind his mirror entrapment. He clawed from the other side until his fingers were raw to no avail. He knew he would never again join her on the other side as he gradually faded into the hereafter.
“I’m glad he died before he found out I was the father,” sneered Chance as he nibbled her ear. “Did he really think you were going to the gym all those times?”
“What made you think you are the father?” she laughed sadistically.
A Deadly Affair
How long has it been
Since I’ve tasted the night?
My dally with darkness
Fueled by my spite.
My knives filed sharp
For this morbid affair.
Feral eyes painted black
For this enticing nightmare.
Would you drink from my cup?
Brimming sweetness, yet laced.
Can I tempt you to sip
What would lay us to waste?
Your desires, they peak
With my blades to your skin.
And I would carve my affections
Crimson dripping with sin.
As we dance and we dally
With a hypnotizing grace
Corrupt with our cravings
In this destructive embrace.
