Walking down the trail alone, Dreaming of times long gone, Molding the future ahead, Looking Death in his lonely eyes, Forging a friendship with him, Hardly know who I was, For I have lost myself on the journey of time, Who am I? Who am I? Oh… who am I? Walking these lonely trails, Up…

Watch Relief Late Again
(I am a sailor, and have stood many Low Visibility Watches where my relief never showed, here is a glimpse into what it is like to stand freezing wet for your country, starving and alone, in the fog that travels the ocean blue.) Standing watch on bow, Waves splashing to and fro, Soaked to the…
The Bipolar Ocean
Making faces in the mirror, Smiling back at me, Personality shining, Looking deep in the ocean of eyes, Breath shaking seeing deep inside, Floating on mental sea of delusion, Rowing hard against waves of depression, Drowning deep underneath the ocean of mania, Bi-polar raging its storm above, Ship creaking under the weight.
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…
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,…
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,…
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…
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…
