She needed no blade Seduction was her weapon of choice Luring her prey Drawing them near With her sultry looks and velvet voice Keener than any sword And truer than any bow And then she’d pounce Lips laced with poison Venom red One kiss was all it’d take And like that they were hers Slaves […]
Poems
Back With A Vengeance
After a few days vacation It seems inspiration Has returned with a vengeance Planting seeds in my head That grow into ideas Blossoming into poems and stories But none of them Are the one I want to be working on
If my life were a movie…
If my life were a movie You wouldn’t need an actor To play me; The writers would surely cut my character Before the film ever saw the light of day And I’d be just another discard With all life’s other rejects on the cutting room floor

The wind picked up, leaves blowing around the bench on which we sat. “Honestly, Mark” she pulled herself closer into my embrace. “It’s not how I imagined it.” There was a sadness and resignation […]
Love

The Fallen
