Ten Pills

One pill;
For my merciless and raging tempest.

Two pills;
For the voices acknowledged as my own.

Three pills;
For howling dogs stalking my promenade.

Four pills;
For forgetting what was to become of me.

Velvet

Half past midnight,

In a mood lit street,

We are sleeping alone,

Red velvet leaking from your heart;

A blanket To keep us warm.

The Deanery

Your breath of stale tobacco,

And mine of a sour red wine,

My floor show of cheap Bordeaux,

And yours of old man’s decline.

—————————————————————————————

Awaiting night to begin,

Saying a moot Hail Mary,

Falling deeper into sin –

Escape the ordinary.

Fearing the volcanic skies,

The crescent moon swiftly wanes;

Mankind’s chorus slowly dies,

But the raven’s cry remains.

A vice around the chest,

Falling, gasping for air,

No tears to be expressed,

From this sorry affair.
