Poems:

Bells

Ting!
The church bells.
A fulmination of footsteps,
throughout the entire village.
And they all formicate,
like the diligent honeybees.

Transient Apollyon

Just imagine a discussion,
cut off at “Hello!”
Shifted and entwined,
in the midst of a cruel snicker
Now it begins:
the dimming radiance.
What can be done?
Poignant tunes,
now never sung.
Just ruthless,
cold-blooded noise.
A sound that torments the soul!
The death-gobbled doom,
drains through my skin.
They kick me and screech.
And pin me to the floor.
Now use the witchcraft and mathematics,
to glare through the walls.
The colors all blend.
Falling? No!
Falling up!
Up, high into the light!
A white world with seas of gold,
And joyful, my spirit,
is clean! Everlasting!
