HURRICANE

gathering clouds
sky turning darker
promise of rain
in the air

rustling leaves
animals scurrying
seeking places
to hide and wait

the wind picks up
thundering and
lightning erupts
overpowers

death surrounds
howling and screeching
devastation on
its way

the silence
deafening

BEAUTY

beauty in the
grotesque everywhere

old decrepit trees
in the graveyard
hovering over
gravestones

decaying leaves
drained of colour
rotting in the rain
shadows lurking

beauty in the
grotesque everywhere

waves of the ocean
shrieking seagulls
fishing boats
decapitated fish

scars on my body
a life lived
tears and sorrow
red as blood

beauty in the
grotesque everywhere

FAKE SMILES

neon lit floor
nervous laughter
disco rhythms
suggestive
movements
bodies moving
like zombies
sweat dripping
hands clawing
faces contorted

the devil is nigh
dancing along
hiding in the shadow
of ugliness

smoke filling
the room
crumbling fabric
screams of terror
melting away
the fake smiles
darkness embraces
smell of death
invading the space
SILENCE

the devil is nigh
dancing along
hiding in the shadow
of ugliness

ANYBODY

is there anybody
out there?

eerie silence
shattered by
honking cars
clouds gathering
storm brewing
wind picking up
flying debris
newspapers
empty coffee cups

is there anybody
out there?

hurricane on its way
destruction
unearthly darkness
filling the sky
I want to run
hide from
the ugly truth
aliens roaming
the streets

is there anybody
out there?

howling trees
bending in the gust
darkness complete
vastness alone
jackdaws screeching
arms open wide
blood dripping
down my hands
tired and defeated

is there anybody
out there?

ABANDONED

feeling lost
totally alone
passenger on a
sinking ship
abandoned
in the vast
expanse of
the ocean
all I can hear
is the echo
of my voice
the reflection
of sound a
bottomless cave
