Poetic Justice

This night, I lay in my cold bed

Thinking about the life I have led

Put the cold steel against my head

Will end it all with a small piece of lead

There is no one but me to blame

Going to put out my flickering flame

My afterlife will not be the same

I will get rid of my forever pain

Will leave everything behind in a note

My heavy burdens I could no longer tote

As above me lingers a puff of floating smoke

Across the Styk, I will peacefully float

My Fireside Confession...

Sex, sax, and smooth whiskey,
secrets beside the fire.
Warm and sultry brown eyes
looking at me, desire.

The pounding of my blood,
pitched ringing of my ears
Cannot turn me away
playing on all my fears.

Warming a frosted heart,
confessing "I love you,"
There's nothing left to say,
Hope that you love me too.

Cruel Joke

Some older guy bought these kids some beer (Bud).
In the woods while drinking came a thud,
soon showed up the ‘Hoods’ wanting that ‘Bud’.
They came up to them Laughing and joking wanting the goods!

Through half-closed ears (from that beer)
They could barely hear (with snickers and sneers)
“I have a razor, wanna shave their balls?”
“No No No” (that was the end of the party for them all)

Ruthenium Silver

Ruthenium Silver glinting chips
slips into the dreamscape lapping
body

they slowly breakaway from the
silky waves timidly. Like a melting robe over
smooth humps on a woman's chest.

Romantically an island of bounty
paradise
with strokes of a waxy endless
sky
Chalky powder white sands, table with
two hourglass figures, and sugar lips
that stick, ready to be tasted, as the necks
Of wild green palms watch on.

Rite of the tree feller!

Down from the mountains
up in Alaska.
Seven feet tall and
built like a tank.

His name was Old smokey
and he had a red mustache.
He sported a axe that was
seven feet long.

The blade it was said,
would cleave a mans skull in two!
Walked into Coos bay
to have him a beer.

The loggers up north
had made him an offer.
To cut off the head
of dangerous Dan.

The price it was said to be
10,000 dollars.
Old Smokey went lookin'
at the first light of dawn.

FIRESIDE CONFESSION

FIRESIDE CONFESSION

You know, my friend, there is a tale I must tell
After you have heard it all, you will take a view
It’ll affect the way you think of me, that is true
All of us have paths to choose, some go to Hell

We were talking business, many years ago in fact
With constant disagreements about this and that
You may even recall it, and consider it as a spat
Yet to my deepest shame, it was honesty I lacked

THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN

November just passed through the door
and I can hardly get to sleep
Because I fear the night before.
I toss and turn, the hours creep.

Each shadow on the bedroom window
assumes a shape I do not want to see.
And every where my old eyes go
they perceive that which I don't want to be.

Finally my eyes stay shut
as sleep arrives with its own fears.
Dreams of a demonic slut
who screeches like long rusted gears.

Unexpected Horror! updated

summertime, on break we were fresh
chores in the morning, after lunch
we contemplated what to do
after we had consumed our brunch

My friend and roommate, Rosemary
and I decided to go out
maybe we'd go to the movies
her turn to choose, without a doubt.

I'd not seen a flick in ages,
it surely had been a long time.
She would not tell me the title
keeping a secret was no crime.

MIND TRIP

I woke up naked because here is
isolated so I can let my junk hang
it was magical here, and know one
can do a damn thing.

My eyelids slowly
became less pinched , as they adjusted
to the nature escape, all the natural
shapes, greenery, knots of land and
musical sounds and snaking mirrors

I couldn't tear my dark spools away
but they finally did. They were fixated on a
majestic sea bird with an eight foot
outspread wings span with tip curves,
that cut 

Behind The Painted Grin

He never knew the joker's task,
Yet hid behind the jolly mask.
Joker is his well-known name,
While killing is the favored game.

He grew behind the amusing deck,
To entertain? Oh, what the heck.
He never spat a single joke,
Not even a one that I'd evoke.

He blamed the world for the awful deeds
yet justified his, oh yes indeed!
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger,"
A quote he used to put things in order.
