Marilyn, I would’ve cast you In a role Where you finally loved yourself. We all know you were beautiful; Every man Ached to hold you. You made the world Envious Of your every breath. But you should’ve been In my play instead. Now, we both have No more lines left— Just these words Left to say.

He remembered a detail— just one. And somehow that was enough… to make up for everything he forgot.

A slight remembrance
The fault is mine but, The problem is you Everything you've done Says I'm unimportant Everything you've said Makes me wish we never met But sure I'll fake it for you

Pow! Right in the *** Life
Lately I have conversations with the devil in pants She was beauty , *** on a stand She had gold in her hands Blood in her eyes She would make me a tempting offer You can have all that is mine I turned down her offer Walked away a quarter to nine. Lately I have conversations with the devil in pants. She invited me for dinner I did suit up on time A little over dressed, roses in my hands. I sat at a corner , took up a carving knife Of course I couldn't trust her A grin on her face when she poured me a glass. Now me and the devil had a dance Each time I try to leave my body held me back. Tic tock the clock would tick. I was supposed to leave. Looked up, clock would read a quarter past nine. Now I look at the mirror I see gold in my hands Blood in my eyes. I am the devil in pants......kazer 2018 Tm-Narcissus...Tm-beast... Tm-god.

From the darkness of a midnight corner a sudden gleam - light on a shiny surface       wet where everything is always dry a lump of something darker than the night huddles in a heap against the plaster broken by the jackboot toes  of time rushing through to other places There is no definition to the shape that quivers but does not ever move or shift the silent air with breathing From the corner where no light invades the shadow of a recent battle hides the echoes of the last defeat and muffles cries for help to come and blends itself into the blackness that’s both transparent and opaque presenting as a silly fun house mirror changing all perceptions of reality In the murky gloom that dominates the corner keeping time to music no one hears the marks left by the whip are hard to see and seeping red drops fake the look of ink The half closed eye is leaking little rainbows made from seven shades of ebony that fall and ****** on the carbon floor as the clump of misery refolds itself in ever smaller, tighter packets tied with screams that ricochet into the vastness of forever. No White Knight or Unicorn will ever find the corner The spotlight of humanity sports a burned out bulb The gentle hand of kindness is rolled into a fist and stuffed into a pocket of uncaring. The corner was The corner is The corner ever more will be              ljm
