Do not rush through life
Take it slowly, step by step
To reach journey’s end

There was a time
when the words
flowed like a waterfall,
an endless cascade
of letters, gathering
together like waves
in the ocean, crashing
down in a sigh, then
slipping away once again.
This is where my life will end,
like the bottom of a riverbed,
dried up, seared by the heat
of the daytime star, scarred
where words no longer
can bleed brittle memories,
merely to fall away,
an invisible page

The night that covets salacious dreams
Begs to elicit forbidden scenes
Uncovers the mask of Jezebel ways
Red against pale, in splendid array
You’ll revel in the beauty of emerald eyes
As she lures you to her with an innocent guise
Radiating heat, like a ruby afire
She will never unveil her lubricious desire
Still, she’ll capture your soul with subtle deception
While using her body with wicked intention

She keeps her face out of sight
Well hidden, beneath the hat
She has no wish, to be seen
No time for idle chat
Darting in and out of shadows
Dodging fluorescent lights
She’s a woman on a mission
Under cover of the night
Seeking out his lover
The one who’s tucked away
Knowing where to find them
She does, much to his dismay
Reaching for the pistol
Kept underneath her coat
She fires the shot, into his heart
For this poison, no antidote
