Alone

Darkness
Embraced by the void
Melancholy welcomes
Ice in the bloodstream
Ash on my lips
Wrapped in obsidian cloak
Loneliness my companion
In a neon city
Walking the empty streets
Downcast
Streetlights too bright

-

Court Warrior

Non contact sport
I don't care
I'm the Contact Queen
The Obstructionist
Battering Ram
Whirlwind Wrecker
Won't get caught
Referees and judges blind
Rivals and adversaries beware
You may start it

-

Obsession

Thoughts invade
Tormenting me awake
Barring sleep
Can't stop thinking
Lay in bed
Replaying moments
Piercing my heart
Second guesses
Make me doubt
Was it true
Of just imagination.

-

Fallen

Confused
What?
How?
Why?
A single kiss
Soul and heart
Given away
Can't stop thinking
You invade my dreams
Time teases
I see you again.

-

Fallen Leader

Fallen
Despised
Past accomplishes forgotten
Hero to villain
Perceived a despot
Emperor of old
Wanted change
Make it all better
The cost didn't matter
When it should
Legacy signed in blood.

-

Crash

Should know better
Don't care
No responsibility
Chaos in the heart
Speed in the veins
Rules don't matter
Run the red
Stamp the pedal down
Don't slow to react
Dark curtain drops
Mangled wreck remains.

-

Midweek

Midweek blues
Halfway full
Or mid empty
The end feels far
The weekend beckons
But teases
Power on
Focus
One step then next
Reward waiting
Sleep in promised.

-

Spy

Cold war continues
Suave and debonair
Fictional attributes
International spy
Just average
Just normal
No one suspects
Crack the locks
Break the encryption
Top secret no more
Return to the shadows.

-

Missing

Missing person
A loved one
Parents’ nightmare
Search parties assemble 
Search the wilderness 
Hope descends 
Time passes
Turns to recovery
Heartbreaking discovery
Heinous crime 
Grief and pain.

-

Blood Feud

Covet sibling’s fortunes
Devious machinations born
Traitor to the name
Family shattered
Enemies converge
Broken covenant
Bloody sea
A survivor
Upon stranger shores
Vengeance in the heart
Wrath upon the Judas.
