#stealthy
tiles feel cold against bare feet.
Tip toeing into kitchen for water.
Find glass, reach up into cupboard.
Try not to shatter.
Reach in for i c e.
Still cold against bare feet.
Pour water, quiet, stealthy,
N i n ja l i ke.
Drink water,
Still cold against bare feet.
I c e still clinks.
Gulp gu lp.
Down the hatch.
Put glass away.
Reach up into cupboard.
Slips cup out hand.
S h a t t e r e d.
Eyes wide.
Bare feet still cold.
Scattered i c e.
Mom wakes up.
Dad slides out too.
I hide in cup board.
Feet now warm
N i n ja l i ke.

Crow was watching ......
......with his toothless grin .
Biding his time ......
...... he then stoops in .
He knows more than you may think ,
it all reeks of a ghastly stink .
No matter ! With your false truths ,
your lies betray you , So Uncouth !
So now ... When you are alone ,
be safe and wise ! Know the Unknown .
For crow is silent and cares not ,
Has his revenge already been Begot ?
Victims ! Aren't we all ?
Those Who rise sublimely ,
Only to find their fall .........

Sneaking in silently,
whispering
secrets and conspiracies.
This is a puzzle,
scattered by
your thoughtless actions.
Voice still as stone,
I am held
prisoner of my mind.
The hands around my throat,
are not your's
but my very own.
