Words spoken darkly

Beneath your

Rotten breath,

A curse of some sorts

Placed upon me,

A hefty weight

Resting on my shoulders.

Crows now fly,

Hovering above me

Menacingly,

With malintent.

A feeling of dread

Lingering inside my head,

Burning a hole

Where happiness is

Supposed to reside.

You,

The one who cursed me,

All I must ask is

Why?

What evils did I

Bestow upon you

To deserve such immense

Su...

Who am I to waste our water?

I lay at the bottom of the shower

I let the scorching drops dig into my side

Wishing the skin would melt off and

Join the acid in the never fulfilled drain

The water falls and surrounds around me

Constraining me

Constantly reminding me of what has

brought me to a never ending shower

of doubt and hate.

I leave the infant in me

She questions how she grows into a wasteful...

She built a nest

Weaved her longing in the

Walls

Round Walls

Trap her in cycle

Where she howls for a lover

Apart

With Destiny

To open her eyes

Frustrate her curséd samely

Nature

Always Repeating

She built a nest on a cliff

To cast those replaceable

Loves

Never Satisfied...

Burden

Holds onto you at all costs

Holding you with a cold grip

Like talons, making your sweat drip

Burden

Squeezes you tight

Like a blanket strangling you

In the deep night

Burden

Drags you deep underneath

Deep under everything

Where the air is weak

Burden

When will it ever leave?

Will it ever let go of you?

Or is this life’s feat?

Burden

Like a caw of a crow

A wicked call of sorrow

A somber...

I’ve seen her strolling down the woodland path

No care in the world no love in her eyes

A liar she is with her family and friends

The only one who sees like I is the black cat calling me Elend

I bite my thumb till bloody and raw

She has stolen from the baker, craftsman and shopowner again

A thief she is such a wretched beast

Only the goat bleats saying indeed

The third month now in the w...

Woke up this morning

Fell straight out of bed

Sprained my ankle

And hit my head

Burnt my toast

Scolded my hand with my tea

Bloody Hell!

It's Friday the 13th

My car broke down on the way to work

My tyre went flat on a roundabout

Everyone was beeping their horns

I felt a right twerk

My stapler broke

The photocopier was jammed

My wife forgot to make my lunch

I went to the nearest Greggs...

The vile one climbed up my spine,

each vertebrae shivering under

its slimy footwork.

The Other came soon after,

filling each empty cyst with

malignant blackness.

An omen flap'd red greasy wings,

and mounted on my shoulder,

whispering the old tongues.

Eyes of the beholder, the

diamond-pearls of yesterday,

are now forever dark.

My cloak against the boring wind,

I dig again into endless sand,

N...

Beware the hellhound that stalks the night,

The eyes like fire at the edge of sight.

A thing of evil, pure malice born,

A maw of fire, within souls are torn.

A curse that chases you to death,

Removes from you your final breath.

A phantom dog with teeth like knives,

Devours good and wicked lives.

Beware, say I, of that hellish hound,

For what it seeks will soon be found....

Mice and rabbits, an animal they ride

Skin them and remove their hide

Bottle up river

And don’t shiver

Stir the mixture nice and slow

Don’t set it down too low

Blood from a pricked hand

Perhaps the princess’s hair-band

Apply it to an arm with tan

And carefully wait for the next man

Don’t let them make a second look

Before you fish out the thumper with a hook

Make sure the victim is aware

Th...

There are those in life who want to look like angels

Those who want to be seen as absolutely beautiful, graceful, and winsomely charming

Those who are always determined to succeed

In really whatever, like playing sports, fighting, singing, or swimming

However, beneath their success and image

There is something off with these “angels”

With how they are by themselves, far from public

It is as if the...
