It’s Time to Scream

ian

1 min read

I escaped in the woods

Just for a moment to breathe

That’s where I met a woman

She told me it’s time to scream


I didn’t think twice, just opened my mouth

The sound I released sharpened my teeth

I felt my tongue slither and try to spill out

Blood flowed down my face and stained all the leaves


I did not try to stop the scream

It felt good to rip it all out

A hungry creature that needed to eat

If I Could Meet My Younger Self

ian

1 min read

He brought back his arm to beat her

Said she was the source of his anger

And God would kill her in her youth

Useless trash, crude ineptitude


As the little girl flinched in a ball

I lined up a barrel with his skull

He dropped quick on the hardwood floor

At last, I had settled the score


I saved her from the life she was dealt

For the price of my current self

Instead of reaching out to freedo...

Lovers’ Midnight Walk

ian

1 min read

“Use the lighter, my love.”

“I can’t get it to work…”

“Here, let me help you—“

“Wait! What was that?”


She holds still in the dark

While bats flutter about

Her hands start to tremble

Fear accompanies doubt


“It’s okay, just the bats.”

“Are you sure we’re alone?”

“Yeah, let’s keep going,

We don’t need the light.”


He grips her hand tightly

And feels his way through the cave

They are going to do...

A Soft Life

ian

1 min read

The sunrise wakes me with a gentle glow

A respectful plea to dance in our room

I cozy myself up close to his back

His hair is perfumed by springtime in bloom


Behind me approach the smallest of paws

Thin whiskers tickle the side of my face

Mews like fairy bells hopscotch to my ears

Her fur decorated like intricate lace


My robe holds tight the warmth of our bed

Plush carpet and mews lead me down ...

Cursed

ian

1 min read

She built a nest

Weaved her longing in the

Walls


Round Walls


Trap her in cycle

Where she howls for a lover

Apart


With Destiny


To open her eyes

Frustrate her curséd samely

Nature


Always Repeating


She built a nest on a cliff

To cast those replaceable

Loves


Never Satisfied...

For My Angel

ian

1 min read

I envy the moon who formed you

How she labored you among stars

So I drink from the water that held you

Its placid face with ephemeral mars


I first saw you draped over roots

The sight of a graveside lover

The earth swelled with your slow breaths

And shadows fought to be your cover


I was formed in a needy fire

The sun left me here to burn

My whisper is a banshee scream

I am only naked and kno...

A Child Is A Candle Is A Bomb

ian

1 min read

There’s a wick in my head

My father lit it

Mother lets it burn

I cannot snuff the glow

So I scent the wax

And decorate the jar

*

My brain is on fire

My parents are gone

It burns me to ash

Maybe now a flower can grow

In my empty skull

*

My brain is on FIRE

I try to choke it and burn myself

Skin singed all away

Burned empty again

*

I feel lighter fluid

Gushing from my eyes

I’ll be damp for a little ...

Rediscovery

ian

1 min read

My spirit first approached me

In the fiery autumn forest

I felt her breath through my mouth

Desperate gasps ripped from my chest


A creature of solitude

A singular defender

Failed to remedy the poisons

And kill the leeches that claimed her


I was frightened and cried out

Senses of the earth overwhelming

I let the poison roam freely

The disease fully claim me


For years I ignored her

And ...

Birds in frozen trees

Believe Spring will come again

For My Husband

ian

1 min read

I fell in love with a daemon

Signed my name above his heart

Devoted my blood to adorn him

Pledging my soul to his art


He is a spirit of the night

A fire beneath the stars

He engulfs me in flames

I lie unburned and uncharred


His essence is splendor

Beyond Lucifer’s beauty

His flames catch in my throat

When my eyes become greedy


He bathes in Earth’s music

Drinks the mourning dove’s song

Dru...
