Grown In The Ice

I found a world

I found a promise

buried in ice and snow

 

I found a story

I found an idea

how long were they out in the cold?

 

Hidden in the snow

grown in the ice

are they meant to ever be warm?

Them’s The Rules

Words are sacred.

Ideas are sacred.

Music is sacred.

 

I had a friend who thought a movie

was sacred an she would damn you

to Hell if you said anything bad about it.

The movie was  The Lord of The Rings.

 

Something about men  playing with their swords

wasn’t my cup of tea, so I was banished from her sight.

 

Beauty is sacred.

Blond hair children with blue eyes are sacred.

Flags are sacred.

 

None of those things are sacred to me.

Should they be? I’m thinking my life would be

easier if I did.

 

I guess that’s what makes the idea of sacred work when

I don’t think it should at all.

Ode To Winter

Winter Memories

are gold and white

they are warm to the touch

and they smell like

baking cookies.

 

Winter Memories

are

gold and white

they glow like the moon

and the stars

on a dark frosty night

When Snakes Dream

ghoulia4

 

The snake did nest in her mouth

it’s poison ate away at her skin

nothing covers her aged bones

but lies and smoke and sin.

 

The snake did nest in her mouth

it’s forked tongue pierced her brain

no thoughts live in her skull just stories of what had been.

 

The snake did nest in her mouth

it slithered its way to her heart

she wants to love she wants to live but the snake has its own dreams now.
