Parents Without Children...

Murderess and murderers
Such black and evil collusion
She as guilty as they,
There should be no illusion

Killer finds the address
Not too far away
He thinks he’ll make a visit
It must be today!

There are women lining up
No more babies for them now
Jobs and parties more important
“I cannot be a cow”

Killer has arrangements too
Obligations he will fill
To ‘Parents Without Children’
Taking kids that would be killed

Attempting to take Ian's Advice ;)

I know you hate to break the truth, my dear,
For me you no longer shed a tear.
You've never shown your love to me,
As far as my eyes and heart can see.

"Don't cry," I prayed,
I'll be here to stay,
If you return to me
Forever mine you'll be.

And if I fail to see your face,
You'll run away but I'll end the chase.
I'll tie you to my heart with cord,
But if you escape, I'll seize my sword.

M a r a c h i n o . . .

Ripe ruin
the wind on the wires wanders
cuddling attic ghosts

goosechill amplification

and the rain runs
spilling
from the dark overhanging
eave

from the thick trunked limbs
that harbour snow
and ice dew in February

glitter labrynths
groaning in the gusts
breaking the light of dusk

sticky whiskey kisses
adorn slick tiles
and a day falls
brilliant and hurting
a gash of breath
laying on a lake

sleeping beneath
heavens breadth
and a dreams
hitch

A short poem

Falling off a cloud
Rolling into space
The moon

3.2.1

how is it that my life has come to this.
I taste the nickel plated iron gripped tightly in my fist.
my irritated eyes drain the sorrows from inside.
I've ran so far and now there's nowhere left to hide.
I fool myself by saying it will all be just fine.
a couple more painkillers down to help me ese my mind.
one bullet in a chamber made for six.
I spun it quick, flipped my wrist and made the hamer click.
I say a prayer and believe he will understand.
if I decide to take my life its all just part of the plan.

brazened truth

brazened truth

dream not of me
dream not of me
in the evening of darkness
as I step into the forest of unknown shadows
as I step inside
don’t follow me
ere the shadows envelop thee

Let You Go

I was sweet when you came to stay,
But I clenched my fist when I gave you away.
I saw you break and burn and rust,
But it was clear that you broke my trust.

Why are we both so mean?
Why can’t we just come clean
And mend the past to score the present,
With happiness, then our anger relent.

“I love you, I love you!” we once had said,
When all was fine before fear and dread.
Then when I realized nothing was true,
I closed my eyes and away you flew.

anima damnata

somnia perdita

taken

curl back the edge
mandlebrot glean

waiting on the echo
seen
the windscape honour

the well of souls

Experimenting Seasons

When Summer's sun
rises in my eyes,
when Fall brushes
up my thoughts,
when Winter
washes the tears
I've often disguised,
just then my
heart is ready
in Spring to bloom.
