Clean your fangs nightly (the better to see you my dear) Scrub them so they shine brightly (the better to hear you my dear) Never let them look unsightly (the better to fear you my dear) ****** Just served this poem up at Dverse’s open link night, please visit and check out some of the other great poetry!
I love steeping in a winter bath being enveloped by the water the quiet splashes fragrant bubbles caressing my cheek warmth removing tension muscles slowly unknotting oils soothing my skin But eventually water cools the embrace loosens And I must emerge into the cold
Final Transmission: Target has breached hull.
tonight I’m dreaming about playing your bones like a xylophone your vertebrae jingling tonight I’m dreaming diabolically scheming carving your tombstone tonight I’m dreaming about playing your bones like a xylophone

Detective Almeida felt a tinge of guilt as he closed his study door to the sounds of new presents and a Christmas movie.

Stain your wish in crimson ink Light a candle bathed in red Watch it burn, don’t blink When the sun fades and stars wink The moon shines overhead Stain your wish in crimson ink The night is long and shadows slink Let the flame banish doubt and dread Watch it burn, don’t blink Pour yourself a fiery drink Pen the desire in your head Stain your wish in crimson ink Light your paper and watch it shrink Declare what you have left unsaid Watch it burn, don’t blink Wait for dawn to turn the sky pink The sun emerging from a cloudy bed Stain your wish in crimson ink Watch it burn, don’t blink
the moon waxes, wanes pulling my thoughts like the tide shaping my dreams
