“There is a room, down a dark hall, locked and guarded. Inside reside the scariest of monsters.” Her eyes wide, “What kind of monsters?” “Hmmm… how to say it…they’re more apparition.

Snow White-Allister Nelson
The elven knight went riding with banners alizarin as berries in snow, his face wan, lovesick longing. Haunting his dreams was a snow-laden lass, fair as a dying rose, iced into clarity by shattered glass.

the hour of sunsets-Gabriela M.
frontiers of my being the hour of sunsets has come with bare hands I drown you in the coldest seas red lilies burn you in the hidden valley predatory birds delight on carnal straps I run barefoot through streets of no return I knock on doors a piece of bread for my entire heart oh,…
Alien Songs/Ocean Song-Tanya Rakh & Ndotono Waweru
ocean song I can’t sleep when oceans scream through these remnants of salt and sand I can’t swallow when mountains sit heavy on my stomach, mock my dying voice I can’t move, not in this turquoise wasteland I breathe galaxies, mists of liquid possibility pierce my atrophied veins; how they twirl and evolve,…

Taps-Gerry Hanna
I put in the plug And I turn on the taps I look at the blade As again my mind snaps I sit on the edge And my hand I dip in It’ll need some more hot Before I can begin I step into the hall And I stop by their door See my son’s…
Lecherous Heart-Kasey Hill
The words slip from my bleeding tongue As razors erase the pain and torment That had settled deep within my bones As I brought to light In your painstaking presence Your depravity and wickedness Upon my fragile soul But alas, my heart is no longer made of glass It bears the coating of a diamond…
