There stands his soul leaning towards the edge
Eyes cold as stone lips a sown in smile
Mind full of hatred no longer wanting to be dead
His silence crawls under the living skin again
One cruel hand slams the lid far too tight
Pulls out the nails for it will be a long night
Smashing them in too close for comfort
For a man who shouldn't go six feet under
Never take something from a man that likes his possessions
Because the hunt becomes his obession
You can try to run as far as you can
But his speed and lust for your demise
Is the only twinkle in this man's eyes
The twisted carnival man has a plan
To each victim you certainly have a choice
Will you scream in a loud or muffled voice
Escape is a far too absurd concept
He'll find you and squezze so tightly that last breath
The pop of your eyes is his favorite song of all time
The main attraction is it always changes
Of course the star's names and faces
Take a ride on merry go round
Or get buried alive underneath it now
He enjoys the tilt o whirl best
Watching their insides fall out of their chest
He laughes with pure glee
For torture makes his twisted heart sing
Pulling the fingers back feeling the bones crack
Yanking out their nails polishing them as a prize
His captives awaiting the next carnival ride

Poetry: Dark soul
by Tom Mcmurray
The tall man gazed out to the West,
So razor thin against the wind.
No cover hat or comfort vest,
This stop unplanned for those
Dark soul
Lurking deep inside
Show me what secrets
Are there, within, to hide.
Dark soul,
Afraid, alone,
What crime did you commit?
by Amber Woods
A bodiless spirit
All but keeps quiet
A tortured screech fill the air
Warning everyone beware
A lonely soul
With no
Self Portrait
A lonely boy.
Fenced in by fear
Fear of the unknown.
What does he know?
He knows pain, depression, self
It would be nice to be nature today. I want to flow like the rivers and oceans.
Shine like the sun and stars. Be relaxed
