I am Possessed

I am possessed. Hauntingly, Beautifully Possessed...

Call me an angel

Call me an angel  So I may pray for acid rain.  I’ll pray for oceans   To run with blood,  Or the sun to turn to ash.  I dare say it doesn’t matter how,  Just let the great scythe come.  Let it sweep through our wasteland  And leave us with nothing but  The embers of an old…

Home was a Meadow

Home was a meadow. It was running away, grass between my toes...

Love Child

They hung around her like flies Too young Too alone They whispered

A weed pretending to be human

I feel more at home among the trees, As though my body yearns for grass against my skin And leaves around my soul. Like a weed pretending to be human- Growing in the wrong place- Prickly, green and funny shaped And looking for something to uproot me. So I'll keep pressing flowers between these pages,…

The Mad Creator

The Mad Creator Mixing poetry and madness In petri dishes made of cardboard Searching for the perfect drink: Make him drunk, But not so he cannot write; Make him numb, But not so he cannot remember his dealings. Make him learn to fly, So he can learn to live like angels To play God on…

A muse in a bottle

I keep my muse in a bottle. I shake it every once in a while- Or tap it like a kid at a fish bowl- It doesn't move, stir or come back to life; It just idly floats through its own filth. I sigh. Typical, I mutter as I flush in down the toilet And…
