Murder, mayhem, maybe
yesterday I dug a grave for
someone
to loud, to obvious, so common
every spade of earth
raked and turned with care and joy
yesterday’s dream is ready for the wake
Ragtag Daily Prompt: Mystery
Rendered helpless by a smile, a moment of conversation here and there rehearsed words practiced for lost years wormed their way into my ears
Undone by chaos enveloped in sweet promises sealed with a kiss that tasted like bitter chocolate, I hate chocolate sweet or not but I swallowed each drop, each buss hungrily
Ended in dust, witnessed by rats brought back to my own darkness by the promise of my Cacodemon, my constant companion now.

Rest, who needs it?
All I have ever wanted to do was run, dream, watch the stars fall
Pulled away from that all
by my vicious clock
and it’s relentless hands moving forward
demanding I do the same
Instead
maybe I should look at it’s
second hand, wearing down it’s face
there’s a lesson there.
Did you hear the alarm go off? I haven’t. Not yet. Not today.
Daily Prompt: Rapid
Entangled in a web
Cold has turned my soul to ice
Heart has been torn from my chest, silent scream fills the night
Overhead the moon and stars still shine
Echo.
