In the Garden (Bodies)

By
We dig up Bodies in the back
And lay them out along the daisies and dirt

 It doesn't hurt

 We judge and ridicule their clothes
And sit them down for tea and scones
But then we suddenly realize
That Sometimes Bodies Lie

 We rake the garden in the dark
And plant our plans to grow when things smooth out

 The neighbors shout

 We jump the fence and pick the lock
And take our neighbors for a walk
And with their throats cut out, they won't
Scream, or shout, or chat about

 We bury bodies in the back
And try to tell each other everything's fine

 We've still got time

 I judge and ridicule her clothes
And she sits down for skin and bones
But then we suddenly realize
That we're all bleeding lies

The Fall in Effect

By
White walls line the candy-stripe isles Several uniforms rush to clean blood from the tiles Another of mother earth's baby girls and twisted smiles Growing tumors; unhealthy addictions to Harry Stiles Adolescence Untouched lips and Malleable Minds racing for miles Broken upon impact An attempt to connect While tears flood from the face - body falls into a spiral Pages ripped from a diary Bruises and broken bones Pouring from the insides of classroom halls A Nightmare; harassment in bathroom stalls Stitch the mouths shut of Pretty boys purring cat-calls Drowning in makeovers bought at the mall Purchasing the products to fix it all Spending time with a "man" painted handsome and tall Fell in love with an idea That led to the fall

Death: A poem

By
Blackened streets of which were callused marks upon the earth unbalanced  plant life withered and creatures fled they knew that Death had reared its head The trees that burned and the buildings crushed could not quench our old friends lust but Mother Nature looked around and took into account the ground of which was dead and black as night And She Showed death his Weakness: LIGHT  So, the dark had subsided and as did our creature to Return once again when things seemed much bleaker
