Trailing behind at the scent of your leather from the sneakers, and the mud underneath.

In confrontation, I regress
My lips open, and I digress.

You're not Sherlock, but you solved the case.

Grin and nod away.
Lodged in your finger I stay.

No better than a splinter.

White-knuckle ransom note,
to the one.

There is a picket fence
outside a great and quaint Victorian ranch.
There, the weeds will never grow,
and he shall go off the defense.

Doctor, we don't need an EKG.
I can see everything from his veins to his capillaries.
Everything pulses to the beat.
I only see want and need.

Turned away, and now your in flight.
Away, is my plight.

This is your winter solstice.

Of course, you'll arrive.
With your jacket, and in time.
I'm gonna park over there.
By the fountain.

This is Nebraska, there is no real aweness.

I will blankly stare.
I will blend in with the oxygen particles.
I will have a silent presence.
No one will notice me, not even a mare.

I lied, only one man noticed me.
The manager of the Inn and Suites.

I see the vessels of my eyes.
Like a runway model, who must look like she never has to try.

Checkout is at eleven.
I'm falling asleep now at seven.
Found on the date of nine – two – three – two – oh – one – seven -
On that day a far greater kingdom of Persia shall be reborn.
United again their prince of war shall endure a crude destruction.
The fires of Hades soon spill out upon the seduction.

Six fortnights later the earthly engine grinds to halt
Followed by rumors on every side.
The very laws of nature open their rightful vaults.
The power of lesser animals can no longer be denied.

Another huge wave will hit you
Since my pleas won't spark you
Let your heart show some mercy
One hell of a backlash, awaits you

No tongue can describe the ache
I endured once you slapped back
It was more than arrows sprinkled
Showered, shoved, turned to awake

It still bleeds, if you ever witnessed
I was drowning, you enjoyed popcorns
Watched the fatigue throw me on thorns
You howled at me till my eyes turned red
Redemption - IX

The incidents that hit you straight into your heart creates a revenge against who did it. To wake up and shake off the laziness will guide you to be stronger than any normal mind.
Ago
not one person knew who lit the fire
at the old pub in the town's main drag
it will remain an unsolved piece of inquire
who on that night used a burner's tag

back in the year of nineteen fifty three
the watering-hole went up in flames
from the locale an arsonist did so flee
after playing his match striking games

a shadow some of the locals have seen
where the timbered hotel once stood
hovering around like a ghostly screen
this figure is an omen not of the good

if it could speak what would it ever tell
in regards to the starting of the inferno
which was like a flammable torching hell
one but surmises about events long ago
Eliot Greene Mar 2017
We have broken ourselves for less
Then the dreams of our forefathers,
Their bones still singing in the dust.

Fallen tombstones bring faithful children
To whisper lullabies to angry ghosts.
Our hands are capable of so much.

Love comes to those who leave their
Palms open to the futures that
Whisper just as memories do, and yet

The dead are not silent,
They twist and burn
In the mirror of our eyes.

Their struggle sings through us,
Asking if we too are already buried,
or perhaps, if we the living will
speak for those who cannot.

Dimension beginning of vile ****** exposed,
And the Emperor has no clothes,
While helplessly strut a mighty walk without a shame.

Course of history repeating itself,
Like the flow of water meeting in the river of streams,
But recycle through the clouds and back to the ground it flows.

Are we so blinded by the glimmer of the mirage of oasis in the desert,
We toast with sands of dune to quench our thirst of our plight,
And all is but a fickling light ducktaped by words of unintelligible muddled murmur?

This is truly the flawed design of our time,
When we no longer promote arts and crafts of philosophies,
And religious cults of zealots condemned the science and Academia by berating it's achievement.

Likes of ancient times of Agora and the height of it's human enlightenment,
There are forces of deconstruction of society of choas ensued by hateful fear mongers,
And systematic inward of national fevor of berserkers leveling progress.

Maybe another dark age is inevitable,
But little seed of hope I feel tangible,
And sometimes event maybe a phoenix.
Religion is all sense of purpose is a illumination of hope in human plights,
But those who seek absolute power by controlling devotees, then it is no longer a religions but a cult of designed by vanity.

My fear is a pool
Ripples washing ; the wind is deepening.
This ebbs with the moon if I can freeze my reality
But
Radio is the enemy
TV is a liar
I wake up every minute wishing I were dreaming.
1984- 2017
a new world awakening and inside
I am
Screaming.
