The Freak Show…

You knew her once, but she’s not the same

You see, she’s undergone a little change

There’s no need to worry, no need to fret,

Just don’t say something you might regret.

Just give it a few days and you’ll be fine

Unless you post it in verse and rhyme.

Brush…

The soft bristles brush

Through her hair one-hundred times

Her nightly ritual.

***

How easy it is

To brush aside so much pain,

When it is not yours.

***

Her face flushes red

As fingertips brush gently

Across her soft cheek.

Red is the Color…

Red is the color

That has allowed me to be

A free bird in flight.

Lead…

***

If you are in front

You have to maintain the pace

Or you’ll get trampled

***

People will follow

Anyone who is leading

Even if they’re bad

***

Drastic circumstance

Might require drastic measure.

Enter, the lead pipe.

Rise and Save…

******

To save all mankind

And set us free from ourselves

A hero must rise

***

I raise the weapon

In order to save a life

I must now take one.

*****

The stone’s rolled away,

And the third day has drawn nigh.

Rise up, O’ Saviour

Lipstick…

Her lips shaded red

WIth passions burning desire

Drawing me closer

Sparking smouldering yearnings

To want for love’s one true kiss.

You Kill the Joe…

Don’t leave it empty,

I just might cry.

No coffee? Not any?

I want to die.

Who could have done this?

How can it be?

Why would they do this,

Especially to me?

You kill the joe,

You make some mo!

Giving In…

You’re close to a bust

When you give into your lust

And wrong becomes must.

Climbing Mountains…

Fingers that grab hold

Digging into the crevice

And holding on tight.

Her Eyes…

Her eyes

Can see right through

Piercing my every thought

And drawing out my innermost

Desires.
