Spiders

Inside our loving cradles
And peace within our heads,
We never wake to realize
This cradle's a spider web.

Trapped within its boundaries
A thousand cries we scream,
We never wake to realize
That life is but a dream.

Falling prey to all that seek us
And fearing what is dead,
We never wake to realize
There are spiders in our heads......

(And She Was) Rivers Dancing

She stands along the edge
Of an ancient canyon cliff,
And breathes the fresh air
that whirls by her.
Smell of red clay dust
and sun-baked rock
Mix with memories in her heart.

She is old now,
with tough cracked skin,
Finger stained with dirt.
She hears the drums of lives once lead
Her peoples of long ago.

Where rivers ran, now dry beds sit
To run again in other lands.
She has seen how things
have come and gone,
Customs long forgotten
But the drums beat loudly in her heart......

She knows the Earth still sings....

New Sun New Moon New Home

Zombies ride, gears slap in
Enter here, the Nitromare
6.9 seconds to infinity
Zoom outside, Baby goes

Night pilots blast thru space
Quasar lotus undulates,
Visions burning mean.
Cruisin' thru space dust roads
Cosmic gremlins fight below,
I feel it moving in.

Nitrogas, superzap,
Pistons snap, wires glow.
Fury must find its home
Evil Empire comes

Fight for life in black hole space
in Nothingness we hide
Commander calls, a javelin throne
Snakes thrown out like Mardi Gras.
Gateway into Heaven
First time built by Gods
Temple into space
Feel the ship rattle......

-----Original Poetry by Author Kat Johnson

Haunted

The past is gone yet its silhouette remains

Like a ghost haunting my soul

Running in circle with no way out

Trapped in the surrealness of my life

Do I succumb to my passion or let it subside

Questions engulf me like raging flames

That singe my yearning heart

I let go of my discretions

And follow the winds of love

---Original Poetry by Author Melissa Buck

The Poet

The Poet
Blaspheming His way
Without Hope or Discretion

To what do I Owe this Pleasure, Nightingale

Your song Burning in my Brains

A scarlet memory
Where Lover's Wail
Sweet Passions in Fury

Searing Desire
Echoing through Cherry Blossom Nightmares

Swirling through this Ocean of Regret
Tormented by Ravens Scowling the night for this Prey
of Disillusioned Alcoholic's Moan

Deliver me, Wretched and Blind
from this, Man's Ruin Delight

Indecent Descending Angel
Tarnished, Sooted Wings
Never escaping this Orgasm without End

Fleshy and Cold this Harlot dreams Alone
Soaked in Sweat
Dreaming of Purity

----Original Poetry by Author J. Montefusco

bd

My mind wanders and drifts away

Cant escape these thoughts

Your presence is etched into my heart

I feel you through every bone of my being

Possessed by a past that wont let go

I remember your touch,your eyes, your smile

Emotions overflowing

Im lost and scared my soul cowers inside me

Afraid to close my eyes because I only dream of you

---Original Poetry by Author Melissa Buck
