HELP
I cried for help

RESURRECTION
I cried for help
but no one was there
desperation floated
through empty air
I cried for help
and held out my hand
asking for little
making no demands
Only wanting a touch
or the sound of a prayer
just something to show
that some one cared
I cried for help
and then cried bitter tears
for it seemed no one heard
for no one came near...

RESURRECTION
Falling down and down she goes
fraught with pain like no one knows
blood on brain and blood on hands
crying on the bloody sands
~~~
Lost in doubt and hating self
rotting item on the shelf
left to die in long decay
ne'er to know a nuptial day
~~~
Screamed it o'er and o'er again
covered self in hurtful sins
damning clowns held vicious court
fired their guns with swift retorts
covered self in hurtful sins
damning clowns held vicious court
fired their guns with swift retorts
~~~
Found their marks and brought her down
left her bleeding on the ground
vultures circling watched her writhe
warped by pain and broken pride
~~~
Oceans deep have swallowed tears
cried throughout her bitter years
drowning, drowning, down she went
cried throughout her bitter years
drowning, drowning, down she went
weighted by hours of long torment
~~~
Before too long she'll learn to rise
touching clouds and clear blue skies
floating free and flying clear
touching clouds and clear blue skies
floating free and flying clear
of wicked lies and deadly fears
~~~
Once again she'll be a child
running through the flowers wild
pure of heart and pure of mind
soul untouched by foul mankind
running through the flowers wild
pure of heart and pure of mind
soul untouched by foul mankind

DEATH’S BRIDE
She dipped her pen in a red inkwell
as feelings emerged from a personal hell
slashes of red on the withered blight
of a journal page describing her life
~~~
Broken promises, vows never made
tried to live right but fell in the shade
Lover’s trysts in the glow of the moon
affairs of a heart that would break too soon
~~~
Bared her soul for her lover to see
but he kept her love and set her free
the secrets she shared had sealed her fate
for he rode away leaving her to wait
~~~
Years passed by and her poor health waned
as she hid in a cottage she went insane
'Til one dark day when she heard a knock
from a distant plane where time had stopped
~~~
Specter in nightshirt had rose from the grave
came to tell her he was her knave
came for the bride he had left behind
crazy in love with half a mind
~~~
She quickly waltzed into his arms
willing captive of deadly charms
Lured by a dream woven with lies
too late to wake up for she had died...

THE COLLECTOR
(just a silly little story)
Death came to collect his dues today
but when I told him I was broke
he choked on the cackle of
disdainful laughter he spewed upon me
~~~
I spat in his face and told him
what a disgrace he was to the
legions of collectors who had
arrived there before him
~~~
Then I patiently explained
to that rancid smelling resident of the never world
that at least his predecessors had
the decency to offer me loans
~~~
He snarled at me
with the wanton wickedness of
the demons who had spawned him and said,
"But my dear, those loans are long overdue."
~~~
So with the bravery born out of
the stupidity of youth
I blustered up a fair amount of courage and said,
"But sir, you see, I have been to court and filed bankruptcy."
~~~
Barely containing the overflow of his increasing anger
he turned quickly away from me
and as he stalked off I heard him mumble,
"I'll see you in seven years, but there will be no more loans."
~~~
It was then that I awoke gasping for breath
caught in a tangle of bed linens
soaked with a sour sweat
brought on by my tumultuous dream filled sleep
~~~
As I untangled my limbs
from the clammy wet sheets
I pondered on the silliness
of the scenarios I had visited that night
~~~
I was fairly full of giggles
by the time I heard a heavy footfall
and then the sound of loud knocking
at the front door of my home
~~~
Thinking it must be some unwanted peddler
I raised the window but when I stuck my head out
there he was, standing impressively tall
glaring up at me with a dour look upon his gaunt features
~~~
Too late for me to hide, I fumbled through the thick fog
in my sleepy brain searching
for some kind of believable excuse to give
my angry landlord for being months overdue with the rent...

DARK STAIN
Fifteen years and still not wise
She believed his deadly lies
Kissed his lips and called his name
Thought he surely felt the same
~~~
Pure of heart with greenest eyes
Silent went her piercing cries
Ears turned deaf by years of bane
Proudly he took o’er her reign
~~~
Weight of sin upon her thighs
Devil took her dearest prize
Robbed her soul and caused her pain
Left her crying out in vain
~~~
Purest child in woman’s guise
Eyes downcast from hallowed skies
Blight on heart and ice in veins
Evermore to live with shame
~~~
Some are sweet and some are spies
Looking for the sweetest slice
Caring not who’s soul they drain
With the mark of rape’s dark stain…
