Restless Hallow's Eve

On this All Hallow's Eve the spirits of the dead walk among the living
remembering the hot blood that flowed through their veins
looking for a lover that they may have left behind
to sate the lust kept from them for so long

A sailor from long ago remembers a pretty lil girl who caught his eye
searching for an eternity his ragged breath turns to a sigh
he remembers her smile...the color of her eyes....and the way she wiggled when she walked
That last dance before he shipped out that fantasy for which he always talked

Tonite he plans to find that one that stole his heart
like every Hallows Eve since that fateful night
he'll walk the streets of that New York town until the light of day
when the sun returns and he fades back away.
Hopefully a taste of her upon his lips to last until next year

Dedicated to the hearts that broke when Miss V found her Prince.

Sunday's Theme At The Red Planet 10-05-08

"No Theme Scheduled"

One of a Kind

grace and love she shows
like a light in the dark
to all she really knows

she's blessed us
with her wit and sorrow
she has shared her life
for us to marvel

in the field of drab weeds
that populates my mind
like a lone wild Violet
she's one of a kind.

Tolwyn

Reincarnation

man or child
beast tamed or wild
all meet their destiny

when the angel of death
calls out their name
their time has come
to meet their end

there's no excuse
no escape

but what if
through the darkness
came a light
to offer life again

the keeper of souls offers
life a new
with just one twist
the beast becomes man
and man the creature
he became.

Darkyn

Another Chance

If tomorrow never gets here
will you be content
with what you've done

or

will you look back in time
and think
I wish I had
done that differently

and

would
if given
another chance

would you spend
less time crying
about how hard
life had been

or

spent more time
living
to the fullest extent

if the angel of death offered
to let you
start anew

would you
do it differently

or

would you
still be you

Darkyn

Chrome and Glass

Just like him
she thought
to meet at Chrome and Glass
Chrome and Glass and Cheap
Champagne
supposing, again, and always
Wrong
that this
is what will
please
her

How is it possible
she thought
to live with someone Twenty Years
and still, again, and always
Know
nothing

He will arrive
exactly
on time
Teutonically
correct

Minutes measured like
cubits
carved into coffins, his
eyes
the only difference in
all
the world

He will smile
as will She
but neither will
recall
when a smile was
all
the world in
all
the world of
Chrome and Glass
that would
ever
really
shine
