People, Prophets, Killer Clowns, and Cyclist.

People bow down to the wisdom, Great intelligence bestowed on their godless, Prophets who climb high the circus tent, Shouting out their commands as whips fall, Whack, whack, whack, smacking the sad Clown, On the poor old derriere, Out comes the knife, giving chase to the Prophet on the cycle, Pedaling his way in circular…

Breathing in the Throws of Emergency

Inward, outward, life exists in this moment, Foggy glass tells the story, As misty fog envelops the fingers trail, Drawing through each misty breath, The image of each moment, Drifting along imaginations limitless bounds, On stretcher looking upwards, Concern etched on faces, Beep, beep, beep, the monitor speaks my souls output, Each passing second a…

Invisible Eyes

Out the window those invisible eyes, Stare death into my soul, As I pass by nightly, Haunted trailer which haunts my dreams, For there I lived, Twice, and each time, There, I felt those eyes adrift, Floating about, Watching me move around, Now, as I pass by, Nightly, I swear I see those eyes, Staring…

Spector’s Nightly Hunt

Creak the board goes, As foot falls in silent hall, Wooden alarm bells, Warning the Spector, His prey is near, Drifting lazily through decreped, Worn down home, Past where Nature has claimed her own, Resting in nooks and crannies, Animals from fields afar, Protected from mankind, Deeper into the home, Drifting along cooridors, Past scattered…

Icy Monster Under the Waves

Running down shadowed passageway, Entrance ahead, Rolling ships bulkhead stirring the dead within, Winters grasp grips steely hull, Icy whispers drift within, Running down shadowed passageway, Entrance dead ahead, Sailors scream in dread, As Death looms from under, The Beast that sleeps under icy waves, Looms overhead, Tentacles raining icy torrents of destruction from above,…

In the Shallow Ditch He Hides

(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,…

Skyman

Railing against the sky, Middle finger held high, Shouting anger on the rooftops, Sky creature above looking on, Yelling, mad, liar, Destructive life force, Moving dance of destruction, Penance rains down in devastation, Torrents of rain fall, Floods kiss the earth, Sliding with her power, Down mountain she falls, Towards screaming man, Middle finger held…

Liquid Refreshment

Inside the demons dance, Dragging onward to the gates of hell, Taking inventory of souls deception, Liars, cheaters, backstabbers, all alike, Burning onwards into eternity, Dancing the infernal hells. Vampire’s face grins, Taking hold of innocent flesh, Tearing, biting, grabbing, ripping out the heart, Beating flesh in hand, Squeezing the soul, Pressing liquid refreshment for…

Rag Doll

A short horror story in poem/lyric form. Woke up one day, Quit the job, Walked to the bar, Settled in for the day. Dreams hitting fast, Hardly moving forward, Intense emotions undeserved, Mirrors exploding from past. Feeling stich in hand, Exposed to grit’n’sand, Feeling stich in hand, Exposed to grit’n’sand. Exposed to society, Ripped apart…

Walking Memories of Despair

In the darkness my thoughts gathered, Tides pushed aside by gravitational forces, Moonlight pushing against them, Forces gathering inside, amused at the plight, Inside the torment slowly gathered stregnth, Assaulting the shores of sanity with greater might, Fighting back the fears, tortured thoughts which come with malice, Stabbing at the eyes of the seeing, While…
