Sparkitutde

Atoms spat me to life
just like that
the clink of bottles and rattled voices
on the din of the flimsy plywood painted green
Smoke and bad dreams to the rafters
ruckus and broken screens
Like my fathers car ploughed the dirt roads
to hell or home
I found the way

DIFFERENT ROADS

DIFFERENT ROADS

Life is movement and change
and nothing is ever the same;
for the worse or for the better.
one finds a different way
and rejoices in the finding;
the other is left behind crying
trying to understand the nature of loss
and the pain of ending.

Sanity's Madness ( Horror Story Draft )

Sanity’s Madness

Reflections of darkness invade the eye
limitless worlds of pain
walking through minefields of punji sticks
shedding your blood like rain

crying the tears of a thousand souls
killing a thousand more
crawling through jungles of tortured green
your eyes never knew before

If there is a fault in this life its a lack, of time, as I drift towards an enivetable conclusion to my story, this ravaging path of pain I crawl each night is just a piece of the encyclopedia of me, looking back the lines blur, knowing what I'll never do or see tears at the fabric of my being, those foolish little girl dreams are slowly fading into the black and I grieve for what should have been and brooding I've made an art of silent sadness, my hamartia is remembrance not mine but of me.

Title. Skippyl (horror story draft) New edit.

Orange pips.
Old brick.
I’m not insane
no matter what they say.
I ain’t been nuts a single day.
DW40.
Doorknob.
I've been trapped here quite a while,
but let me tell you of my style
and how the gods have made me serve their will.
Alters.
Scripture.
I read these books you see,
the best.
Idea books. Not like the rest.
Pig tails.
Edison.
You know how long it takes
to brick a wall while watch her shake?
Glad that’s done.
Darkness.
Waiting.

Pageantry Of Vanity

It's all about me
No self worth
without a "selfie"

Attention span
of a goldfish
No real journey
to enrich

I-Phone
I-Mac
I-ndivdual
See the connection?

I Refuse Your Pride...

I Refuse Your Pride….

Refused to die in your fucking war,
ran away and hid, closed my eyes.
You won’t tell the truth, what it’s for,
why do leaders live out on their lies.

You called me a coward, I was afraid,
it’s a bloody basic instinct to live.
Look at this world what you’ve made,
it’s a hundred thousand war narrative.

Political murder to achieve your wealth,
bodies lie rotting all over the globe.
Bits of people blown apart by stealth,
all you want now is a murder strobe.

Love Tale (horror story) rough draft

A lonely girl she is
looking searching within,
she thought she found love,
but evil is what she beheld.

Desiring to feel complete
with this one, dark eyes, mysterious,
leathery flesh covers his scales.

Lake flowing, blustery waterfall,
sound of fast rushing water, sudsy white.

Blue skies meets ocean surface,
lost in the moment
she watches a sunset drop, grey skies.

The baby she carries ready to drop,
She remembers the man
of her dream.

stainless steel

the binding head meets the turbine river o!

alloy and to the sights, rusts annoy
the chrome of colour chromatography
distasteful marjoram for the hand pleaders
that smelt the soul, with jest teasers
same with the blizzard fog, and gizzards
torn and stained between the teeth

the size of accommodation is huge
none left undiscovered in rediscovery
primate prints, and yolk shells
therein the flesh drains, must dwells
with the lightening stroke of harsh pelts
strove that men mustn't be Topsy-turvy ash gust

bound

dug in
the shovels creep
the bones of stones
in summer light
suffice a prayer
some Aubrieta
tend down the
years
wrapped up
in care

the summer
lights turned
golden haze
for all the
years have
come and gave
we've blessed
these times
that life has
given
the struggle
triumphs
where now
tears riven
