Holmes

Whistle a rider of usual pass,

Catch a lift of unstrung caste,

Risk the neck for truth prospect,

The details the way to find object,

Perhaps a solution born in reunion,

The facts have lies woven chameleon,

Survey the scene after all have been,

Discover the clues that lie therein,

Present my case to the good doctor,

Chronicler of deeds a dutiful jotter,

What do you see from your keen glance,

Ah but you've missed crucial evidence,

The signs are clear I have the proof,

A villain to fear no longer aloof,

The web is spread to catch the flies,

Clip their wings imminent demise,

Retire to the fire to sit and relax,

A cry at the door with muddy tracks,

Surely I will listen this tale so dire,

But first come in and sit by the fire

Possessed

How can I sleep with a mind so wicked,

Haunting images of death afflicted,

Possessed by a demon a tragic victim,

All I see are the body parts strewn,

The visceral visage spawn horror cocoon,

Pieces on the bed and some on the floor,

Cross the threshold and open the door,

More blood and death rotten to the core,

He said a box cutter was found by the body,

I couldn't bring myself to see,

I wanted to preserve the memory,

Only to think of the brighter times,

Push out this darkness left behind,

Turn to leave and the devil walks before me,

Black shirt steps in but I can't speak,

I've lost the ability to even breathe,

Awake from the hell where those thoughts dwell,

Plagued by the carnage of self-inflicted slaughter,

Infinite pain for the demon's victim was my father

Void

March to that beat cold retreat,

Blindfold the captive inactive,

Walk this plank by the sword,

Steps seem loose excuse must soar,

Quick wit words thick sink ship,

Hold the breath for one last sip,

Trickle and flow the poison below,

Welcome the danger of horror show,

Rip the reason with blunt treason,

A lie to the face of self pace,

With the bitter wind climb look away,

Fill the void with something else today

Tower of 1,000 Corpses

Who am I at the top of the tower,

Patrol these grounds with vicious power,

In my teeth I hold a skeleton key,

It opens the doors that lay before me,

One thousand evils are locked away,

Screaming my torment just another day,

Greetings my friends what horrors await,

No not yet wait your turn at the gate,

Some have fangs with blood soaked grimace,

Others are mutants with psycho menace,

Pay me a visit more often it seems,

Ripping my mind to pieces in dreams,

I tire of this floor I will descend my darkness,

Each step holds the bones of memory's harvest,

Ghouls of seething hatred fill the halls,

Spilling more blood for flesh torn crawls,

More of the same your futile attempts bore me,

All you know are splintered bodies with heads rolling,

Am I at the deepest hell so soon,

The walls are coated with pink flesh cocoon,

Only one cell remains I scream with elation,

What monster awaits to claim my station,

A door slams shut I turn to see,

I am the vilest creature the warden is me

Inevitable Downfall

I stare at my pen asking for inspiration,

The black ink dances with every stroke,

Shining for a moment then becomes dry & dull,

Search this jagged skull for one decent poem,

No wisdom to show them for life is barren,

I hold onto a sliver of hope that times change,

Perhaps in one hundred years I won't seem so strange,

But then I will be long dead with all I said,

The social pariah left to rot in lonely mire,

Death is my sire to teach me a lesson,

Will I obey or leave the reaper guessing,

Care not what others think or so I thought,

Fear that I've wrought for once forgot,

This streetlight was bright just a moment ago,

Now it turns black as my footsteps echo below,

What is this world a beautiful decay,

To which I descend the river of flames I lay,

Burning alive or maybe I was already dead,

With one million holes drilled into my head

My Children

Wounds too fresh to express distress,

I still see her eyes go gray,

The cancer had eaten her away,

Decision falls to me I must release her,

What is right I can't allow her to suffer,

In the final weeks she knew I was the one,

The only soul to see she was done,

Come with me and rest a while,

Too young to die so hard to say goodbye,

That night I had troubling dreams,

Kali was alive as a living apparition,

To visit my mind to consent submission,

A vision she shared of my love's future,

Darwin was sick and I had to let him go,

He lost hair and had grown deformed,

His desperate meow brings tearful storm,

Will I have the strength to grant him rest,

How impossible this pain I won't survive the test

Inner Torment

Sometimes I just sit & laugh,

At how funny it is the tragic path,

Humorous at the times I miss,

So new to this stumbling ruinous,

I laugh I cry some days I want to die,

At the bottom of a pit I refuse to submit,

I raise my head and force a smile,

Focus on good thoughts for a while,

The evil persists begging to slash my wrists,

Derisive demons dwell deeper down,

Soothing suicidal sin cements sound,

Waves wash waxing will wither wind,

Voluptuous vortex vex vehement viral,

Tales to torment till timber tranquil

Wedding Song

Walk the aisle with glowing smile,

Sacred holy of love's eternal glory,

Dressed in white angelic light,

Stars will twinkle ever so bright,

Vow to love with all of the above,

Spread your wings and exchange rings,

A toast to honor these living dreams,

Woven together with diamond seams,

Share a kiss and dance in bliss,

The first day of a beautiful song,

Two hearts entwine forever young
