...As one we
clapped and laughed
at the things that
others might cry upon
We drank and got drunk and
feasted on what we thought was
forever
It took seven days to
get rid of the hangover
but we knew it was worth the
pain and shame to walk
blindly into the night
We talked about things that
didn't make sense but we
never cared as long as the
fire burned
And burn it did the rumors
like bushfire,
yellow and orange and
wild
So we panicked and ran and yelled
towards the sun with  
a smile...

Those were the days...
...And she
dug, digs and
will forever dig her
grave as he
whistled in the dark for what seemed
past twilight
on the top of the mound of dirt or
somewhat that looked like it while
the dogs went mad and
desired to consume her but
she sang
those songs that her grandmother taught her
when the world was ignorant of
the truth
Hauntingly strange
the melody was
To a point that it defined
horror
in a way that transcends belief
He jumped down, grabbed a shovel  
resting under a pale silver light that
sounded like it was humming to
the melody of the song
For a moment she thought
her end was in his shadow
and she was right and uncertain but
he slipped and fell and screamed
to an eternal drop to
Hell...

...Black clouds
overcast
silhoutte of the Sun
there will be no
meadows to sing
no flowers bloom, no
butterflies to strap its wings
A bullet ride to
insanity
and it gets worse
in the morning
Squeeze the bottle
there may be a few drops
left
It's a shame...
we only have one road to
bore us
Though
the field is more appealing
and perhaps we
have a chance to wish for
the moonlight not to
fade...

He waited... waited long enough to see that a promise's destiny, in a twist that some people may call fate, is sometimes doomed right from the start. I mean, what are the odds that it will bear fruit in the middle of winter?

Upon a blue moon
...rare
Peaceful, calm
and
empty
breathless like a dagger
She was there
longing...

The ground was brittle that night. So brittle, he thought it would break at the wrong take of a breath. He stared at a thought... Venturing out into the night never really pleased him, especially when alone. It's not about the dark or fear or something else, but the feeling of solitude haunts him...

Dreams...
she embraced
Solace
in her veins and her heart
blinded
as it burned the night
Illlusions made her
believe...

But perhaps... perhaps they were right. The howling comes first before the nightmare. He looked on the ground with a trace of a distinct emotion, that often leads to sorrow, and thought he should have not left in the first place... And now that the howling stopped, he wonders what nightmare stands before him...

Underneath a blue
moon... rare
She smiled and she
lied
and thought it was
peaceful and calm
She undressed and
slit her throat...

**Tangent Freeverse
...We are
throwing stones at the bush
hoping it would
burn
Hoping
for a miracle in the flesh
And we cry in despair and
we get angry
and we get
tired
but restless
So we drop on our knees
to worship the dirt
feeding on madness
...Mirrors to shatter
so as bridges to burn
so we can blame
and dream and
escape
and act like
fools...

Brewing madness with a day to
burn to
dream
to walk... barefoot
Collecting dust and rust in my mouth
Foaming... blood lust
And the dogs are on the prowl to
hunt
to scavenge, to
salvage sanity that has been
lost
It'll never be the same
Despair... strapped in the dark
and the words get lost
to forget to
haunt to
whisper

And so the road
bled...
This was a come back piece from a 2-year absence in writing. I never thought I would write again... guess old habits die hard.

...The first few raindrops were
heavy
like the expanding void in her
It was cold and
the seven-day old paper
wasn't much of a help
crumpled
wet
torn
She cried as it poured
and it seemed like a choke
thinking about tomorrow
Maybe it'll be dark
Maybe it'll be
different
or maybe...
it will be the
same
