An
Altar
Mystical
Powers lie here
Guarding, stone idols
Sit, surrounding spirits
In captivating confines
Foot soldiers to the mighty gods
Once men, now lost in a purple haze
Where no one can cast the spell of rebirth

She never allowed them to see her face

Kept it hidden, and well undercover

Came to be known, all about town

As the notorious lipstick lover

Every night, around the same time

She would head out, on the prowl

Searched for the perfect specimen

Out all evening, this little night owl

She wouldn’t stop, until he was found

And when he was, he was in for a thrill

She’d don her face with lipstick, laced

The kiss of death, was her favorite kill

The Dream of All Dreams – #NovemberWriting #poetry

In the midnight sky,
On a bridge that goes nowhere
A light cast its singular glow
And I followed its radiant glare
There, at the end of the platform
A tunnel did appear
In a heart shaped pattern
Against the darkness, ever clear
No matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t see beyond
I called out, into the blue abyss
But no one did respond
As I got closer to the end
Of the narrow wooden planks
I realized what was calling me
Was simply just a prank
Into the ebony sky, I fell
Nobody heard my screams
I am forever lost, inside
This horrid dream of dreams

Petals and Parasols – #NovemberWriting #poetry

She let her memories escape, yesterday’s dreams

Broken pieces of her life, scattered, tattered

Pressed between the pages, sheltered only

By the pale ivory lace, of a faded parasol

This, her only regret, leaving this treasure

Far behind, knowing, it was the last connection

To a life, she no longer cherished, wilted petals

Pressed between pages, the broken pieces of her life

A Day of Denial – #NovemberWriting #poetry

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
Tis a place I find myself lost in, quite often
This place where evil thoughts permeate air
Unsettling, the words of love, do not soften

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
The depths in which I throw about these fits
There is no caution to the wind, no stop sign
I just continue to lash out, as my time permits

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
Though at times, I wish to only see the light
That weaves its way through the gaping holes
Left here, in this place, for me, by the night
