On the soft winter freeze Deaths hands creeping in Finding warmth under hearth Resting rump on long forgotten coals Soft decay floats on atmosphere Lonely voice echos in hallways Passage ways through the fog Calling forth the Damned Rowing forever to forsaken beat Boom boom boom dramatic pause Boom boom boom Deaths voice Carrie’s on…

My Haunting
I’m the shadows it lurks, For a time the it rests, Silence, then, demanding presence unfolds, It roams and stalks, It is a force of chaos, Taking freedoms, Chaining relationships, Framing fantasies, Making love on lofty imaginations, Unwanted attentions, It’s comprehension descends.

Fury, hate, hate, might, hate, hate, hate, love, love, love, love, love, Dig, dig with me, Happy, dig, dig in, I, AM HAPPY!!! Judgement, twisted, echo’s in my brain, Vibrating insulated voice. An exploration of my mental health tool boxes by attempting to understand the emotions behind rage.
Sweet Leafy Hair
Puffing on the lettuce cigarette, Puffing on the Devil’s sauce, Lighting puff after puff, Lighting the key to unlock, Thoughts of paradise, Thoughts of Nirvana, Carrying you through the stars, Carrying you on its wisps of smoke, Puffing on dear Mary Jane, Puffing on her sweet leafy hair, Lighting up the stars, Lighting up the…
Yearning
Discarded words tumble forwards, Crumpled paper spilling ink, Little foot prints echo on, Words that never made it past the line, Never read or cared for, Never headed or thought for, Never wanted or heard after or, Later, while laying crumpled, On wooden floor, Words echoing off paper, Yearning for author, its creator, To whisper…
Shoreline Love
Whispers on the wind, Sex on the spin, Your hair shines in the night, Our love flies as a kite, Whispers soft while spinning, Splashing our love painting, Finger paints all about, Lazily floating love boat, Journey holding our hands, Looking at distant lands, Our love spins tales, Off distant shores of Whales.
Life and Its Doorways
Standing still in doorways, I fear to enter, So many I have entered before, Self hatred tearing at my back, Unknown urging agnst, Butterflies surge forth, Escaping and fluttering about, Standing in wonder at the doorway, Looking in, wondering, What’s in store for me, My choice to move paralyzes me, Standing still I cannot move,…
Fir Tree Forest
Fir tree forests surround us, Tonight the snow falls, All around us, Tall and true stands Clause, His beard and red jacket, Contrasting the white sheet pouring down around us, On this snowy Christmas Eve, Laughs and ho ho ho’s echo out, Ringing Fir trees sing aloud, Cheer and happiness abound, Santa Clause has completed…
Homebound Battlefear
Hearts won minds turned chemical burned, Hero’s march home, war and dreams, Constant reward, images burned, wounds inflicted, Mind confounded and infected by nightmares, Can’t sleep, media a constant reminder, War a reality nuclear vision blur, Fear gripping heart, reality tilting heart, Hearts and minds, minds and hearts, Winning hearts and minds, lost, lost, Hope…
Shredded Water
Facing the tempest, My feet clamber onto bulkheads, Ship rocking in her wavy bed, Gun grease soaking all, Cocking back I unload with furry, Shredding water in historic victory, Smoke floats exploding, Cheering in the background, Dark cloudy sky, Shadowing our war visage, Cloaking us in obscurity, Each round a testimony to our dedication, Ending…
