They dredge the night
of its copious secrets
even coaxing the moon
from its ebony bed
shaking the stars
into their sweaty palms
then pocket the entire lot
grinning like fools

Their kingdom of chaos
breaches the shores of reason
pillages the hapless
then plunders the greedy
the veil of their twisted charm
belies the coarse fabric
of their cruel intent

They have hollowed the world with lies
cheapened its inherent grace
robbing hope from the masses
vile merchants of contrived misinformation
peddled at our tables
where gullibility is host
toasting our moral defeat

Lets raise a cheer
to the soulless news media
purveyors of disillusion
mourners at the worlds demise...

Your name is Legion.

Ashes and Dust

So day dawned, and then sun set the hours between so easy to forget Night fall offers no promise of change no appointed plans to rearrange The cobwebs in my head tell tales of quiet sobs and stifled wails Oh don't pretend to know my screams the only witnesses lurk within my dreams Suppression is my art, of which I am adept swallowed tears the souvenirs I've kept No plunder of my gain, an ill gotten treasure I bleed for no ones' pleasure Words only fail to describe my ceaseless inner diatribe Make of it what you must just leave me to my ashes and dust.

Sea of Shadows

Sea of Shadows The clock strikes, Midnight Something doesn't, Feel right Streetlights, Surrounded by, Shadows full of fright And a cold haze settles over, The city and your soul (You feel...) You feel angry, And you feel scared, Your senses heightened, So much more aware, Than you ever thought they could be You feel tired, And you feel alone In this sea of shadows, You're on your own, With this land of unreality (You...feel...surreal...) The sound of clicking boots, Against stone Your heart struggles to beat, To answer with it's own tone Blurred shapes, Slink around, The edges of the light You feel this need t

Loveless: Butterfly-Touch

His hands are almost always cold. They are cold and they are bony. Cold, bony and big but they're soft. Not even Seimei's hands were as soft as his. Not even when all Seimei did was to pat his head or tickle his cheek with feather-light touches - not even then could the softness be compared to those touches. His hands are even calloused in places – and there are scars on them he notices when he looks closer - but even though Seimei's hands were untouched by any kind of hard work or craftsmanship they do not compare to these. His hands are big, cold and bony, but they touch him like the fluttering wings of butterflies, caressing, strok

Tapestry

The morning is a tapestry... tripping over last night's grace, I watch you weave your skin and shake out your hair - soft teal and jonquil shadowing your cheek as the curtains part between your hands. Threads tangle as you turn, telling me dawn is a gentle lover, and the tumble of birds plaiting their soft notes lingers on the pillows where your smile is my undoing.

Suicide

This lovely suicide - the hiss of smoke dangling between your fingers and the loss of breath that claimed your sleep. Your limbs - somnolent, wrapped against the autumn chill fingers draped with paper angels as someone you never knew tucked a lily behind your dreams. I could almost hear your skin speaking eloquent and parched as summer, wondering if you had landed somewhere holy or if god had kept you waiting.

Your Lovely Bones

I long not for your words or your flesh or your smile, Just the white of your bones, their crescent curves, Pressed hard against my hungry lips. I would claw through sinew like freshly dug earth, Could guzzle your blood like communion wine, If only to peel open that which cages your heart. My fingers ache with unrestrained lust, To touch where your skin becomes polished and carved, And play you like piano keys, Till the age-sharpened edges make my skin weep in shards, My breath still and heavy, dead in my chest, At the thought of my blushing cheek Resting on the rising ridges of your torso. I dream nightly of sleeping amidst your

Dark Bride

There's no heavier burden to carry Than the weight of a life unlived Never been a darker bride to marry Than the one who would waste their gifts I have but one desire That's to regain the fire And to this I aspire To again feel the pyre To let the flames climb higher There's no sadder sight to behold Than to watch the dying cinder Never a tragedy that's been so cold Than those who would do naught but hinder There's not a more lonely night to wait through Than to keep glancing at the door Never a more painful tear to kill you Than to see your dark bride once more

an atheist's prayer

dear god, i planted no tulips in autumn and no tulips came in spring. how silly of me, then to mourn the empty garden, to long for fields of amsterdam, to kneel at night in cold dirt, hands folded. i’ve learned there is a certain ache in lacking a thing never had, that small itch whose relief is two seasons past – so god, if you can hear me, know that i am homesick for amsterdam, whose name, like yours, i know but whose flowers i cannot see.

My One Wish

I walked into the room, my face devoid of any emotion but my fear on a rampage inside my mind. Would he think I was taking advantage of her? Would he believe that I did not love her? Mr. Bennet stood as I entered and bowed slightly. I followed suit and waited for his interrogation. He stared at me before seating himself and speaking. "Good morning, Mr. Darcy." "Good morning, Mr. Bennet, sir." I have to admit that my voice sounded a bit shaky as I spoke. He motioned to a chair across from him, but I refused. "Thank you, sir, but I'll remain standing." "Very well," he nodded. "May I ask what brings you to see me this morning?" I inhaled a

Matelija - CasxReader

The bunker library was silent, apart from the turning of pages and clacking of computer keys, as you and the brothers scoured for information on whatever creature or creatures you were hunting. In a three month period, seven people, male and female, had gone missing from the local train station, but there were no bodies, no prints, nothing but a smell of decayed earth and flesh. The only clue was that each victim had been on the last train out of Chicago, IL, which was around 2:30am, and hadn’t been seen since. The police department in town were less than helpful and didn’t really seem to be taking the matter seriously, thinking a

This is my entry in the contest Prompt at

The category I have chosen is: I think we're all bozos on this bus.

This is a VERY different type of writing from me, but does reflect how I feel about the news media in general. So much negativity is foisted onto us, and we seem to not be able to get enough of it. We take our poison in color and in huge doses. Just too sad. I hope the sarcasm comes through...
