S adistic, toying with emotions
A nger settles in, for the night
D isbelief is not far behind
N eedless, self-deprecation in sight
E asing its way, borne of the dark
S unset, selfishly, brings about tears, I am
S ecretly drowning, in my own plight

The storm raged
thunderous explosions
like the Fourth of July
without its colors
rattled windows
dislocated, limbs fell
against the glass
or did they knock
asking me, to let them in
shelter from the battle
I don’t know, shades drawn
lights out, I could not see
seated in the darkness
only my shadow reflected
on the wall, as lightning
danced across the skies
illuminated, then black again
ice pellets, echoed,
the noise, like machine guns,
ravaging the night, a hunter
claimed his prey
then unexpected silence
the only sound heard
was the peaceful rain,
gently falling.
a truce…………

A fiery apple, she quietly lures
Outside the town, nobody did notice
To her advantage, she uses a spell
This gypsy girl, mysterious poetess
Chanting rhymes and incantations
He falls for her, much to his chagrin
She knows exactly how to charm
But the fairy tale would never begin
Anger holds her tighter than love
He is doomed, in the aftermath
Never to see home, again, he is done
Easily bitten, by the apples of wrath

They say that variety is the spice of life
But I’d rather live a more humble means
I don’t need drama, nor excessive rife
Just simpler days, in my ole blue jeans

Trust, when things aren’t going your way
And life seems to be getting a little tough
Instead of allowing your tempers to flare
Seek better reasons, to get over the rough!
