Behind Kind Eyes

Just as the serpent eventually strikes
my wrath will seek it's target
slithering slyly,out of view
waiting for just the right time
Eye to eye, face me now
deny your deserving repentance
circling round you, the scent of fear
anticipation, deadlier than the bite
only dead silence surrounds you

Unspoken

dismal and weary
day blends to night
numbness takes over
No will to fight

No longer the fool
I won't wait to hear
the words you've not spoken
are loud and clear

Descending

In dark of night,
among the trees,
Safety can’t be found
Frantic fear,
dreaded confrontation,
No hideaway in sight

Should I wait,
let you catch me
No longer can I outrun you

Each time, you take a little more
Leaving less spirit than before
No memory left, no tracks to trace
No proof of your existence

I lay down one final time

Internal death sets me free
