reading graffiti
on the walls of our old house—
how easily
the rain washed away
my childhood chalk art

the dead moon's silhouette
stares through the window of night;
its breath chills the glass

on the hidden ledges of my dreams,
stalking nightmares

snowflakes spin
around the tip of my cigarette
a cold galaxy
at the edge of my breath

in a starlit creek;

falling asleep
Chase Fire Jun 2013
falling asleep
under a soft blanket
of nightmares,
stitched together
by pale fairies
with black wings…
tuck me in
you sweet, skinny
sylphs…
you weavers of my screams
that only come
stitched in the seems
of these cold, twisted dreams
that you cover me with

veins of frost
Chase Fire May 2013
veins of frost pulsing
on the bloodless face of night...
his ghost in my dreams
Published in Dark Poetry
Chase Fire May 2013
the souls of dead prayers
shed their hope like kneeling ghosts
framed against black rock
