Night Terrors

Suspended in darkness…

Tethered to that which I cannot see…

I call out to you…reach for you…

but there is no response.

Only laughter in the distance…and it

becomes cacophonous as I realize the

coiled tether in my hand has gone slack…

and I am floating away into nothingness.

Death of a Broken Heart

20160327_102510

 

In a long forgotten corner

through dark recesses

under cobweb cover

 

There beats a once cherished heart

 

Frayed at the edges

time ravaged and torn,

still it pulsates with love’s rhythm

and hope…

 

Abandoned by youth,

and cast out for pastures greener

with emotions heavy

It waits…

 

Cleaving to walls that offer no comfort,

in realization of rank relegation

It cries out…

 

Alone in the blackness,

will crushed by truths blow

It succumbs…

 

And in this long forgotten corner,

laying bloody, broken and defeated

a heart once cherished

beats no more…

Acid Rain

rain road


On a two lane road

in a driving downpour

I press forward…

 

Tears flow as the images

replay in my mind.

Like an old record player,

that slowly returns to the beginning

each time it reaches the part

that is too damaged to bypass;

 

There you are…

writhing like a snake beneath her,

raven locks falling across your chest.

 

Your firm grasp of her ample round bottom,

as you thrust deeply to release your passion,

extinguishing two fires in a united crescendo,

was more than my little heart could take.

 

I never saw the curve.

Unlike the well equipped dream car

you bought me,

there were no wiper blades

to shield my eyes

from your acid rain.
