Red Red Rain
The still waters of the swampland smell like death and feel like fear.
Dangling moss whips through the wind as darkness nears.
The sun fades and the moon appears.
Mirrors redlect the otherside.
The call, the ritual, and the cries.
Shelter is formed for the wandering souls.
Faint music fades through the red, red, rain.
Nightmares reflect awful pain.
Realities fall with the red, red, rain.
Danger unfolds and mystery remains.
Doors swing open decades of truth.
Practice of darkness in pursuit.
In the fall of the red, red, rain.
Laughter unlocks the secret again.
Chemistry reveals a code to explode.
Imaginations disconnect and identity unfolds.
The spirit world glides isolation to cold,
with the parted soul,
that runs through the red, red, rain.
Orbits the swampland in the call of the wild.
On this great journey mile after mile.

Poetry: The unknown
by Jani Joy
"Transparent Facade"
Who gave you my permission?
To hide behind this brick wall?
You're not supposed to be here
Just leave,
Calm down,
who ever you are.
Either raising a raucous,
or kicking up dust
serves no useful purpose.
Besides, you cannot
add a
I feel sick
panicked
crazed. ..
The irrational parts of me
are screaming,
laughing,
because to them,
I've screwed up, again...
And
I look around and try to see
Where I am going or what I should be
It seems that everywhere I look
I am looking at an empty
I trudge forward,
I am really kind of scared.
Things seem so dark and mysterious,
Yet I feel I've already been there.
A nudging
