THE DEVIL’S MAIDEN NAME

31 DAYS OF HORROR – LINK UP IN COMMENTS Written by ERIC KEYS and HastyWords ~2013   Blood shot eyes stared back from the darkness Unholy nights visiting with no holding out allowed Time slides languid, no taking back choices made In love with you I fell into hell before having died And I learned…

BREEZE OF INSANITY

Bodies dangling from the sky Like swings on a summer day The rapture left us all to cry Captured in the sun lights ray Spirits fly in circles, like bats Rushing for a dwelling place A dirty place full of restless rats Like sparrows darting, keeping pace They dance around hopelessly Out of place, out…

INTOXICATING WINE

WRITTEN BY SERINS AND HASTYWORDS ♦ Once upon a time, many howling moons ago, music played As my friends danced under the fullest set of stars, I watched While their looks turned like rotten fruit and I seemed to vanish Into someone without a face, a translucent cloud of mist fading Into the moonlight as…

MOMSTERS IN THE DARK

    I posted a poem/story/photograph earlier today. In the photograph I mentioned Kristina Hickman.  In linking her name to a post she did earlier this year I found this one. Kristina is important to me.  She is important to my family. Kristina, I love you… THIS poem… I am so sorry… I wish I…

SPARK OF MADNESS

I am often saddened when a celebrity takes their life but when I heard Robin Williams may have committed suicide I cried.  If this famously funny man, who made millions of people laugh, couldn’t fight depression then what chance do any of us have? Robin Williams was pretending to be an alien when I was…

NO WORDS

  Twindaddy asked me to write yesterday with No Words as the email’s subject line. NO WORDS perfectly described how I felt over the last couple of weeks.  I was stuck emotionally yesterday so I did not write.  I did not write AT ALL and that never happens.  Today we finished a poem that we…

THE GRAVE REALITY OF LOSS
