I appear to still slip into gothic horror mode occasionally. I blame Mary Shelley this time

The snow runs crimson
I didn’t ask for golf clubs
You sonofabitch

Writhe from the ashes
Like a phoenix
With a lisp

I dread to think what the HR department is like . . .

I’d had the last line in my head for a while but held onto it. Knew it’d come in handy sooner or later 🙃🏴‍☠️

It certainly feels like the brakes don’t work on this chassis. The paintwork’s peeling too 😆

I did a bunch of verses/poems/call them what you will thingies during Halloween so I’ll add them here over time. I’m also currently reading Dracula so the subject matter is fresh in my mind 🦇

This is the kind of poem my brain decides to start developing when I’m trying to sleep.
This is why I’m tired ALL the time

I find the threat of
Solitary confinement
Greatly appealing
The promise of peace and quiet
Is no punishment at all

Smouldering good looks
Spontaneous combustion
Only shoes remain

Little by little
Piece by piece
We fall apart
Together

Woken by a kiss
I taste coffee on her tongue
Milk with two sugars

I recognize you
From a dim and distant past
Best left forgotten
No more than a fever dream
No more than we both deserve

Her courage withers

Colour draining from her face

Death visited me
You took your sweet time, I said
He apologized
Business was booming it seemed
Mandatory overtime

I had acres
You had none
I was kind
I gave you some
You were greedy
Wanted more
Now our countries
Are at war
