Hangman

Marching under hollow banner,

Wrists shackle fragile manner,

Each step brings me closer to death,

Savor sweet breath soon none left,

Grim captors spy for cause,

Absent torment justify laws,

Bleak horizon a sight from afar,

An eclipse of fate feather and tar,

A vulture circles the smell of prey,

My body still alive but spirit decay,

I start to tremble a terror sets in,

Knees quake sin revel wicked felon,

Yellow streak pass I lift my head,

Walk the line I'll soon be dead,

The jaws open wide drooling hate,

Tighten my noose to seal my fate,

Sudden snap was all it took,

Robbed the life this petty crook

Lost at Sea

Breath left wicked I seek surface,

Cruel intention from feeble circus,

Dwell in lands eclipse both hands,

Sire new sin with casual purpose,

Burn within to purge the worthless,

Retire this vessel before it drown,

Lungs of vapor exist not found,

Walk in waste to wither away,

Slave to ship left sunk survey,

Dry land approach inspire a roach,

Live beyond terms of sinful poach,

The dock is clear have no fear,

Ship not wreck the captain is here

Schism

Morbid voice seems to creep,

Lurking hidden sudden sleep,

Jester laughs common caste,

Last to see a mortal grasp,

Played to a death rhythm,

Schism forked lesser victim,

Reel the scene in between,

Deed is greed a foul seed,

Presence of mind follow kind,

Ignore the times evil find,

A narrow path soon deliver,

Forsaken wrath explore the river

Fire

Virtually all is new to me,

Fresh as a sweet symphony,

I take a breath to savor,

Hope to regain their favor,

Some lost some come later,

Truth in the eyes every layer,

Needle drops a soft sound,

Bound teeth muzzle hound,

Where did I go wrong,

Here I sift sorrow song,

Long dawn brings new rise,

Surprised by faint cries,

Echo from afar I lend an ear,

Exit shelter venture near,

Familiar path I've seen before,

Many forks that I ignore,

Tore away vivid memory,

Leaping faith hands insanity,

Fickle fire feeds calamity,

Caught in this trance I amuse,

The fire dances stinging ruse,

Back and forth I follow flicker,

Clouds of smoke billow thicker,

Choking life I see dim light,

I breathe in death I do not fight,

Face to face I fix on fury,

Pulls my flesh free from worry,

Singed to ashes I float to abyss,

Crisp and clean in ember bliss

Methods

Unsteady approach I tumble clumsy,

Force my way I must see,

Pry it open with gentle motion,

Hoping for swift coping,

Abrasive yet soft to the touch,

Shy away yet allow so much,

A split between I foreseen,

Find the path to redeem,

A simple answer does arrive,

The means by which you derive,

Methods used to stay alive,

Sugar coat the shadow dive

John

Seven years a glimpse gone by,

I'll never forget when John died,

Knew for a short time always the case,

Dealt with demons everyday he faced,

Turned to the usual suspects,

Some stayed the demons others worked less,

Hidden torment most would never know,

The final days are clouded in snow,

An evening at it's end we retire,

Turns to go home situation dire,

Alone at night a demon crept,

Snaked it's way his mind it leapt,

One pull and no more pain,

The mortal wound renders slain,

I think back to his common greeting,

Memory is crisp yet seemingly fleeting,

Burned in my mind those words were,

You are a Gentlemen and a Scholar sir

Wonderland

Early on I found things to draw upon,

Easily amused contort shapes and fuse,

Introduced to new stimulation,

Captivate short attention,

Hours would pass yet I sit still,

Grew older and had more time to kill,

Let's add some poison to my mixture,

Daily doses administer quicker,

Others strive and climb that corporate ladder,

I stare at pixels on screens making idle chatter,

This is my Wonderland and I am the Mad Hatter,

Engulfed in fantasy the real world doesn't matter,

Rules and laws vanish without a pause,

Anonymous and able to change shapes,

Eyes mesmerized by generated landscapes,

Approaching steep decline we must resign,

Shut down this life time to start living mine
