Self-doubt devours us,
uncertainties and distrust
of primeval dogmas that
failed us wretchedly
charlatan gurus claim
to cure me of fragility,
but steal my virtue,
leave me trembling in
hollow ghettos
Ash-Heaps of Anguish (a poem)
Horror
Hungry Beast (a 6-word story)
Long, Strange Decay (a poem)
Dead poets hang
from shrunken trees:
ring-a-ring-a-roses,
a pocket full of posies,
singing dead songs,
lyrical flames ignite
numb corpses
Obsolete language from
skull faces, pensive troubadours:
satchels with free verse,
in a universe
devoid of logic

What You’ve Done to Me (a poem)
Look what you’ve done to me
Glittery blood under my eyes
You ignored my desperate pleas
You hastened my demise
Why have you done this to me?
I’m now dead to the world
You tossed me in black seas
I drift in the netherworld

Secluded Hell (a poem)
Hate drapes crippled bodies,
God recoils in lifeless soil,
we serve Him, in good times
and bad, we fear them
judgments above,
in darkened clouds
We have iron tastes
in bitter mouths;
she wants to be elegant,
princess of wastelands,
but she’s like us –
depraved, wearing blood-jewels
that reflect enemy eyes

Lurking (a poem)
Snakes lurk in fog,
slither in early-morning venom,
we’re obscure beasts,
unfit for mortal society;
we’re traitorous,
vapor leaks from depths,
covers fields of blurred symbols
