It was the fourth day of the fourth month

Four years short from the disco edge

That day is your birthday, my hey day

My soldier's D Day, hanging on a ledge

And in that day I swore I'd make you love me

Shy as I was to invent the process

You saw me and I saw you and on we looked

Then you turned and denied my meek prowess

Now I have turned my fourth year

Before I complete the whole sixty

With the power to light you birthday's candle

And make you love me a plenty

I'll sow the seeds of love in your heart

They'll grow for you to see me as you should

The one heart that wanted you

The one you said, with a look, was no good

But as I plant more of them in you

They seems to sprout into some unnatural form

You see me in your dreams, you know I'm there

Yet you prefer fire and brimstone to paradise as norm

Now I pull at everything I have with might

I won't scare you, force you, and want to hear your words

Yet I more I reach you from within

The more your mute angry words remain shriller to be heard

Now I have the power, and you have none

Now I can make you mine, my presence you can't shun

You're in my heart and that can't be undone

Am I in yours? Powerful, still an answer that doesn't come

On a fourth day of a fourth cruelest month

You were born to remind me that I live

With the Power of Love, and though omnipotent,

My best choice is not with the love I'll take

But the love I hope one day you're willing to give.

"Would you like to do the honours? You used to be a med student, right?"

"Is it scary?" I've heard it is.

"Not really, Or, I don't think so. It doesn't look like it is." The nurse smiles.

"Alright." I pick up the needle. Watch it go in, press, sigh.

Time of death: 9:01

Kid: “Hey mom! I’m a unicorn!”

Mom to Dad: “...we need to lock that drawer...”

Person to friend: "Hey, what's wrong with you, why can I see through you?"

Friend: "Well, I found out that my kid is transgender, so I guess you could say I'm transparent."

Mom: "Honey, why is our son sitting in the fish tank?"

Dad: "Well.. I told him he was an Aquarius...."

Person A: "You said your friend was a cat person?"

Person B: "Yeah."

Person A: "You do realize 'cat person' and 'furry' are different things, right?"

This way!! This way!!

Step right up!!

Men in the back

And children

In front!!

Come one come all!!

Please!!

Gather around!!

Come see the greatest

Show to be found!!

Come see the strange!!

The weird!!

And the small!!

Gather round, gather round!!

Come see them all!!

Bodies with two heads!!

Four arms!!

It’s gross!!

Come in to see

All that we boast!!

The faint of heart

Please!! Step to the side

There is no space!!

No place here

To hide!!

It’s shocking!! I’d say

But all in good fun

Come now

Get closer!!

Step up everyone!!

She was black cats

And broomsticks

He was shirt, tie,

And suits slick

She had long hair

And tarot tricks

He had light eyes

And a power kick

You would think that

They wouldn’t mix

But together they

Made magic

#poetry #freeverse #micropoetry #fantasy #romance #magic

Devils dance

On fiery feet

Inside my head

While I try to sleep

Demons toast to

Each defeat

Gorging

On my bittersweet

Sirens sing of

My deceits

The draining songs

Stuck on repeat

I toss and turn

They don’t retreat

Every night

They come to meet

And celebrate

My incomplete

#poetry #freeverse #fantasy #horror #thoughts #sleep #dreams

The music killed her.

The strings that once made a

Beautiful sound

Sliced through her flesh

And it all ended

In a symphony of blood and skin.

Black water swirled around

Black oars splash in the sea

Can't try to run; all will be found

On a big dark ship is me

Ship of the damned crosses the Styx

Charon smiles under his hood

He knows we can perform no tricks

In our lives we were not good

Our big, black barge comes to Hades soil

We know we are bound for Tartarus

In the fields of punnishment, we will toil

No hope of Lethe or rebirth for us

Past poplar trees, we find our new home

Our dear pit will make sure we cannot rome

Like neglect I’m forgotten in an instance, you don’t love me, you never did. You pushed me away with a single action, a single lie, a single misconception.

Like magnets we are on the same side both negative toward each other pushing away and away.

No longer attraction, just separation by an unknown force. You don’t love me, no you never did. I feel unwanted, unloved, betrayed but most importantly.. not enough. This isn’t love.. it never was. I’ll never be enough for you.. never.

I’ll always love you. I’m sorry.. I really am..

I like to think I understand.. but I’ll never fully will. You can stand in someone’s shoes.. doesn’t mean you’ll always fit them.
