she peeks out from candlelight
into the shadows cast about
concrete chamber walls
silhouette blends
fades disappears
appears again
her tepid tears
fill a chalice
as she urges me
with silent taunts
to stain these
paper altars
with verse
become my despised
that hand
urgently creepy
oozes across
a petrified belly
singes pubic hairs
sick has need
to take away
every feel
yet felt
amateur slang
attempts to
lay at ease
fight or flight
ripped away
resistant hands
with only thought
peeled-off garments
shells of modesty
tossed aside
kept to cover-up
invisible marks
calluses to be
secluded body
mishandled flesh
took with threats
without force
to resist
that septic kiss
Make believe phantasms
pseudo-apparitions
spectral vaporous
pale between realms
casters of dimmed life
sacred reminders
memories in mist
ectoplasmic
chimeric geist
passive spirits
echoed images
untethered souls
Grieving my demise
haunting from my shallow grave
one lonely specter
searching for companionship
touch taken away from me
*Tanka/Acrostic
sunken feels
pulled behind a curtain
snuffed from existence
the marque flickers
draws in the morbid
promises of shadows
feels sunken
held captive by a curtain
existence in shadows
Running Red Lights all the way
Echoes of "Get the Fuck Out."
follow with a stench of sulfur
look as close as you dare
for a smirk upon the face
of the very soul that pissed
in the River of Styx fouling it
attitude so intense that
even Death got a twist
in his velvety knickers
without a doubt now
there is no realm
to hold this grotesque
abomination
Right under the noses
of the masses something
BETTER THEN EVIL BECAME!
ignored it grew eating fear
and comparing notes
this thing is bored by "evil"
