You imagine the eye
In some shaded fantasy
Blinking and roving
Inspiring your timidity.
But fear not its glare
Fear not its gleam
For Sting is brought here
To take on this thing!

maybe I can't breathe.
there's light somewhere there
far-distant
unreachable
oh well, at least the temps pleasant
a warmth I couldn't feel before
drowning
in delirium.

We hunkered down in the sub-basement,
Listening to the crashes of the waves
Against the rocks below.
We prayed for morning light,
And sanity,
As we weathered the storm.

never fear the fury of the storm,
fear the calm that comes before it.
before you see the lightning
coming out of my eyes,
there will be a silence so deep,
no one will hear you scream.

Her forces primeval,
We are but insects.

Is gone in an instant
As the panic sets in.

we need a hellish landscape,
instead we get the birds.
we need fire and brimstone,
instead we get trees.
when all around we feel like fire
wouldn't we rather feel it
while we burn?

And while we watched,
Those hellish flames raced
Down the hill and down,
Eating everything in their path.
They were aware,
And they were out for blood.

My soul is not here.
Everything I had I poured into those pages.
Every word dripping with passion, understanding, and reason.
Years of my life literally inked into the columns.
But when it was done, all i could do was throw it away.
Fed it to the crocodiles even.
It was no use to me

Do you write what makes you cringe? Do you avoid what would make your relatives cringe? I've purposefully left off writing a memoir because of this reason, sort of. No one in my family wants to know what I think about them, I'm sure. There's simply too many of them alive to be truthful yet. LOL

Memento mori. What else was I supposed to do when it surrounded my every moment? When Death laughed in my face and took my life away? Memento Mori. For what purpose? To remember the pain? Or to try and keep living?

Memento mori.
Life is but a fleeting thing
& we do not have long
Upon our floating blue rock.
Remember to live
For all those who went before
For all those who come after.
We live.
We remember who came before.

memento mori.
too many leave us
without graves to mark their passing.
they are dust, a footnote in a newspaper,
and sometimes John Doe. Jane Doe.
but to be marked
to be planted in a field
with other effigies,
a crop of morbidity.
says remember me still
to help me live on.

On her pale wings
Straight to the heavens.

But love. Always love.

I see the gruesome visage of Death
looming upon the horizon.
I do not know if I should be afraid
or welcome the bliss of an eternal sleep.
what waits
in the darkness after?
is there such
or has our desire to keep living
blinded us to the truth?
that what lingers
isn't alive.

The flame was lit eternal
So that hope would not perish,
So that we would always remember
Those who came before
Lost to the ravages of war.
We keep their memories
Burning in our hearts.

Her soul longing to feel his hand in hers.

Said a prayer she hoped he heard,
And was gone.

Surround me,
A remembrance
Of abundance in my life
Before all became darkness.
In memoriam, my past dead
And I trudge past the living,
A shackle on swollen feet.

Alive inside of me.

since their screams brought my pet
before I'd made my exit.

I left them bloodless in my wake,

I was never into frolicking.
I tried not to snap twigs
And crunch leaves
When I walked on autumnal paths.
I had to be sneaky, you see.
Stealthy.
If they saw me coming,
They'd run.
And I was getting hungrier
These days...

And enjoy the cool air.

Of summer sweat
And glisten
With bales
Of Hay.

Unlike when others used the board, the man in gray appeared before me, his hands covering mine on the planchet. I could not move for fear, petrified as he spoke. He somehow pulled me through the table, and dragged me away. I could ne'er tell you where I am, now. Time is immaterial here.

The next day I resolved that I would attempt to contact the dead, if dead he was. Gran seemed to think so, but she would not have approved of my use of her old Ouija board for the task. But since she was dead and gone now, I felt perfectly justified in its use.
