(Inspired by Washington Irving’s Headless Horseman, one of my favorite American authors.) In the dark hallow he rests, In and out goes his breath, There is the beat, Chu, chump, chu, chump, The hooves pound the earth, His heart beats, Waiting to see, If tonight is his fate, To fade away into the dark sky,…

Questions?
Dark echoes in the halls of the synagouge, Looking at the dead body of my lord, At the age of 4 he entered my soul, Revelations strike again, Fear, hatred, envy, jealousy all intertwine to take my soul, Victim again, Hatred stabs, murder burns the eyes, While the psychotic stirs within, Demon soul, devil within,…
Amore Times A-Tick-Ticking
Walking down the block, Late that evening, knocking, On your door, Waiting on your answer Amore, Sweet smile beaming from nocturnal reflection, Each hair pinned to perfection, Holding out hand blocking, Each second ticking while grandfather clock, Continues to pass by opened mouthed,
Pans Song
Sitting on the edge of dark woods, Listening to soft song, Drawing listener to rest, Taking shelter in forever song, Dressed in Sunday best. Sitting in eternal trance, Dancing on dreamland’s eternal
Mad Mother
Knows whats it is like for five minutes to be a father, Knows whats it is like to have child torn away, Knows whats it is like to live ten minutes away, Knows whats it is like not having visiting rights, Knows whats it is like watching offspring grow up far away, Knows whats it…
Soundful Silence
Inside the walls, Screaming aloud, Echos bounce all around, Eons pass, As soul screams, Silence, As dreams drift, Hopes born, Passing into abyss, There alone, Stands I, Surrounded by thought, Countless hours, Of casual eternity, Later, Forever later, Now.

Skeleton Heart Shaped Key
Damn I sit here rage inside my chest, Key, skeleton like, Shapely tool to open my chest wide, Wooden ribs sticking outward, As hand reaches in, Beating heart throbs as the jewel is removed, Treasure thief delving deep within. Riding waves on Jolly Rodger, Chest stored deep within the hold, Skeletons in the closet, Hiding…
Valhalla, The Call
Standing at attention Gun at salute, Boat circles about, Fists pound on convoy, Surrounded, hours from safety, Villagers pissed for no reason, Danger, danger, danger close, No regrets, lived life to the fullest, Punching forward, Living to hear Valhalla’s call the next day, Officer standing behind me, 30 seconds away from firing, Mass destruction likely,…
Moon Above
Mankind lays on soil, Earth rises, surrounding, Rocks crumble, Water trickles while moving the world, Moon above cries aloud, While the stones echo their silence, Surrounding, taking, destruction rises, Volcanic ash flutters, Mankind rocks the world.
