Sins of the past Aug 2019
A fringe around my neck, a bruise decorated my wrist
A ghostly finger scraping my lips
And a rush of crimson liquid oozed from above
A yearn to escape, for this horrid site
Keeps me incaved in misty mind
Shadows surround, above and about
Same deadly demons, toying around
They wait till its dark to start their attack
Lights out and sound asleep
Through blood and bones, they turn you,
a sickly being.
Shallow breaths and sticky skin
Red eyes and puffy rims
Same deadly demons, know everything ‘bout you
Can’t hide that dark mind
That black heart either.
Cast for eternity over my unfortunate soul
A spell that can’t overcome, that is concealed
Masquerading as wondered, they overflood dreams
However, are lies, in occasional disguise
Their dream, their nightmares, their demons of the soul
They’re not done with me, yet their coming for you
This was inspired by Nobody's work: Demon.

Just the extension of a dream
Perching right outside my window
Darkness swallows everything
Like the seaside, sweet crescendo.

Lady Midnight, so mysterious,
Never knew beauty was this,
Lay my head upon your pillow
And let me drift away in dreams.
Morpheus gave you sweetest agonies
And a debt so high to pay,
You must lay yourself to sleep
And make way for a new day.

Lady Midnight
Though your beauty will always remain the same
Your mantle of stars is cursed,
Sooner or later you fade.

Disappear into daylight
And flower at night again,
Roll like tides o'er the horizon,
Make your name known everywhere.

Lady Midnight
Keep my secret until my name fades away,
Erased by water and fire
And my dark soul burns in hell.

Lady Midnight,
I pray you find me
And absolve me with your grace
Lady Midnight,
A talented rhymer
Of a troubled girl you made
Lady Midnight,
Pages and pages
My work expands nowadays
And notebooks with onyx ink
That is bound to fade away.

Absolve me, my Lady Midnight,
Don't let Satan know my name.
This writer soul's only ambition
Was only to make a name.

Among others of her craft
She now succumbs with the flames,
She disappears with your darkness,
Lady Midnight,
Sinner's friend.

rush hour for thoughts 'waits
home's warmth and intimacy
that calms ones traffic.
does anybody journal?
any tips

and then the churches
not a climbing peel
not the telling of bells
but an absense felt
a spirit skin hammering out the pressure
the clung tongues of worry
Babel Tolls

Fellowing
then following
and opposing this
A deprevision blow to the senses
a ballooning calm
A nature of electricity makes itself stage, tone
and is source of beacon
A strobe of invitation
past the the mid mark of night
This is verse  ? of an ongoing project. It overlaps words I’m using in current poems.

"You'll soon be hearing the chime
Close to midnight
If I could turn back the time
I'd make all right

How could it end like this?
There's a sting in the way you kiss me
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
'Fore it's over!

Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night

It keeps on giving me chills
But I know now
I feel the closer we get
To the last vow"

my soul is stuck
in old, coastal towns;
a cup of strong coffee in hand;
i can drown in its taste
mixed with my heartbeat running amok.

the sound of the rain
threatens to deform the roof,
as if the midnight sky
was trying
to read her sadness out loud
to the unmarked graves
beyond my ribs;
as if the raindrops
were prison guards
chasing after my soul,
waiting to cage it
back in place.

the broken clock
tells me it's still midnight,
but for all i know,
it may yet be another
sleepless night kinda
monochromatic daybreak
and

i can no longer tell which is louder —
the storm inside my head
or outside.

I saw you there at midnight,
so far up on the hill,
the stars danced all around you
but you were standing still.
Your hair was soaked in moonlight,
and your eyes were shining, too.
You gazed at the world's wonders,
but me? I looked at you.

I saw you there at midnight,
when the sky was glowing blue.
We shared that time together,
and you never even knew.
Then you walked your own way,
a way I'd never see,
and I never got to tell you,
what that night meant to me.
