The Devil stood under a yew, shaking his head sadly at a basket of hen’s eggs.
‘The #deal was a thousand years of good health, in return for a dozen innocent souls’.
‘Correct.’
‘You never said you didn’t want to be a tree.’
‘Stop whining and make yourself an omelette.’

She dances on clouds
whispers her love
in my deepest of dreams
I wake to her glow
cradled in the arms I know
the ebony moon sings
as the flames of hades
tickles the unknown
we walk the midnight highway
w/each other in tow
our #deal w/the devil
threads of darkness we sew

“Werewolf’s Are Real”

I have a habit of staring at the mundane,
muttering the profane, turning it #marvelous —
like Romulus howling Rome from seven hills,
or window sills with dustless fingerprints
distinctly hinting at Juliette’s secret life.

Trifling details are

I had a dream last night.
I danced across Texas
with you in my arms.
How sweet to once again
Smell your charms
That's the thing about dreams
You don't need to be here
not even near
You may be gone
but you still live in my heart
and that my love
is just #marvelous

“The child will be born face up. He will watch the stars on their way to nowhere.”
I shudder. My breath heaves.
‘What child?’

On Friday you reply.
The one we'll make when we meet on Sunday.
My nails dig into my left thigh. My blood smells like carnations. It

If spring did not come, she would deck the trees with paper flowers and sing her throat raw in imitation of the thrush. She was hope blooming where only despair was planted, but paper flowers cannot long last in the rain.

You always loved Nirvana's songs, and the phrase 'I've got my #heart #set on it', so I #inscribe -d it on the #mirror I got to commemorate you.

It goes nicely with the heart-shaped memory box beneath it.

The police haven't looked inside that yet.💖

#Mirror , Mirror
On the wall
I won't answer
If you call
For in your depths
I'm sure to fall
Broken, then
I'm forced to crawl
I don't matter
Not at all
Brittle, shatter
Heart will stall
I am little
Weak and small
Cast-off toy
Forgotten doll

After the cat left the rat took his place.
' #mirror , mirror on the wall, who's der luvilist rat of all?
'It would help, replied the mirror, if you were tall enough for me to see you.'
And then it laughed.

Of course, the magic #mirror always spoke the truth because it was no glass at all. It was formed from a single stolen drop of the waters of the Well of Wisdom, fed continually by the tears of a fallen star trapped in the sea.
And that star was mother to the queen.

My photo album folder’s a #mirror —
it’s clearer than my memory,
showing me reflections of my past life.
Light captured into cinder blocks,
stacked in order of mistakes.

I’d jailBreak~the screen, but I’m addicted.
