Skin to Bone

Skin to bone

peeling back

the unknown,
frail fragments
falling into black

dissolving into dust

for a life must

peel the burn away

shredding the decay

of life never living.

I am not satisfied with this poem and I am sure that will be either be added to or completely re-written. Let me know your thoughts

The Beast

Earth moves
under feet

tumbling; spiraling

to seek

the mystery
of the evening,
a secret
continuing to bleed 

but never spoken

only to be found
under the belly

of the beast;

guarded between

eyes and teeth

claws tearing flesh
only to forget

oh so easily

the girl,

creeping closer

in the dark

gutting the Beast

as it sleeps.

Domino

She fades
into the sigh

the past

is haunting
the future drowning
emotions running

all spinning

into a moment
of vertigo,

will he wait
for her
in this game
of Domino

pieces standing
waiting for her fall
to collapse

shattering her
in dreams

that undress

in the night

turning into

balls of light

as the sun rises
like a golden god,

emotions running
letting go
into a spiral vertigo,

will he wait
for her
in this game
of Domino
pieces standing

waiting for her fall

will he wait

for her
after the sorrow
into the dawn
of tomorrow
after the woe

of this game
of domino
will he wait
