The cards were dealt.
Swiftly.
A world ripped apart.
It's just me.
I close my eyes.
She's all I see.
In my minds eye,
she's still with me.
Heartbreak.
Deep, shattering, soul splitting sorrow.
Here today.
Gone tomorrow.
When I die
Do I find
All  my lost things?
You know; Socks, left gloves, 1/2" wrenches. All of the things that have disappeared into the netherworld without explanation.
He tried to spit out the truth;
Dry-mouthed at first,
He drooled and slobbered in the end;
Truth dribbling his chin.
How extreme

the excesses of fright

The way it turns the neighborhoods

Into alien shape

••

We wander the once mystic
Night

But the angels are gone

••

And the shades are drawn and hidden

Are all lovers' eyes

••

And DEATH too

(& hence the Meaning of life!)

Has fled



And as I stand here amongst
You

Quite frankly

I don't know why

••

A song of mythical
Heroes plays soft

But tires

And spins around and down

And curls up
On the street

••

And only we are left

Unguarded
Unsheltered

Raw with such feelings

Of loneliness

••

Even the stars

Fading into the neons

Of the overhead lights

••

Lost in the haze

Of a lost story line

Remembering some other
Way to live

But just barely

(Very barely)

••

Hidden here in the alien night

We finally reach out to eachother

And set the story right
You should sulk away in shame. You are a bottom feeder pretending to be predacious. Life has shown  that in the order of life you will rapaciously lick the lips of the alpha every time . You mistake your pretension for power, and you and only you make that mistake. Don’t think that any other believes that you are anything more than the absolute bottom of the order. You can cry to all who will listen about your greatness and only the most ignorant will believe; For a while.    Your attempts to empower yourself by belittling others is a pathetic attempt to cover your own inadequacies. Maybe you haven’t realized yet that they can’t be covered, that everyone really can see you for whom you are.    I am amazed that something would mate with you. I can’t believe that one of your slightly more pretentious peers has not taken her from you yet. You are a disgusting example of a human being. You are petty, jealous and cowardly. You are the very definition of anthropomorphism.; You have been attributed with human traits without actually having them. You are lower than an animal and are pathetic.
Bet you were expecting a slap fight.
It comes within the dark of moon,
black wind whispering 'neath leather wings.
Seeking, searching the scent of life,
with eyes that pierce the deepest gloom,
the fog of clouds with clearest sight.
A scream that shatters, rents and wrenches,
ripping gashes in the cold clear night.
Nostrils flaring, lips a' curling,
eyes that glare with hungers fire.
Teeth of ivory, polished, ground;
on the bones of men, finely honed.
I lay upon the cold hard earth,
my body white against the dark.
So frail and soft with warm blood churning,
deaths desire, stomachs yearning.
The beast it swirled about my head,
circled, swooped,certain death,
talons reaching, grasping, ripping.
I screamed in terror as my world went red.
My words became
Roses
And made bouquets
To brighten her room
Beautiful red roses
Without any wilted petals
Of sorrow or fear
I left them laying
Strewn carelessly
About her bed
And left the crying
For the cold hallways
My heart is broken
I
  bleed
           sorrow
                      like
                            fal­ling
                                      rain
