Bloody Mary

I'm just going to stay silent,

Allow the moon, the tide,

To gently rock me to sleep,

This could be a nightmare,

This could be a werewolf,

Shifting, the streets,

Could be dangerous,

These jokes, these terrible,

Temptations, that I've given in to,

That I've indulged, they could cost me,

My life, I might have misjudged the value,

Of these terrible words, my mistakes,

Could come back to haunt me,

It could be Halloween,

If you say her name three times,

With all the disrespect,

For what she has to go through,

She could materialize,

She could haunt you,

She could take your life,

She could marry you,

There’s a joke here,

I don’t want to make,

Maybe I’ll take life seriously,

Maybe I’ll value my life,

Regret these words,

Try to make it up to you,

But I keep thinking,

Of that red river,

All the blood that was shed,

For the moment to get here,

I wonder if we should remake decisions,

Or maybe I'm still not an architect,

Is there still good in the world,

Are the heavens still in order,

Or maybe its just random,

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

And I’m a terrible person,

I wonder, can I still sleep at night?

Uncertainty

Maybe I'll open up,

To love and life,

Maybe I'm just an animal,

Hungering in the night,

Maybe I'm built,

To consider reality,

To consider art,

Maybe I thought of the consequences,

Or am I just fumbling through life,

A zombie walking the streets at night,

I forget if I'm a good person,

This could be temptation,

A giant web, maybe I'm a hunter,

A spider, building honeypots,

Maybe I'm a virgin,

Just hoping to get laid,

I'm still not an architect,

But I am an artist,

Just a poet, looking to get paid,

This is where, the question gets weird,

Usually its not important enough,

Usually I dare to risk it,

But these words could have consequences,

You know, people have killed for less,

I’ve said a lot of blasphemy,

Its usually from a place,

Of rebellion, just a boy,

Who doesn’t care,

Where it lands,

Someone who knows,

He’s not in charge,

A mental illness,

These words could be,

My medicine,

Or maybe the world is still terrible,

And I’m just comforting,

Myself, spouting bullshit,

To keep the fear at bay,

Maybe I went too far,

Maybe its Halloween,

I can’t believe its not butter,

Maybe its Maybelline.

Supermoon

My selfishness could burn bright,

I could be everything that’s wrong with the world,

I could be a vampire, there could be,

An angry mob, with torches, with pitchforks,

I can’t tell if its on or off, I'd like to think,

That I write these things, from a place,

Of innocence, but it could be obvious,

I'm just a demon, craving sustenance,

Throughout it all, does the world still turn,

Is this alchemy, am I over-exaggerating,

If this all, turned into money,

I would be satisfied, but you know what,

The world is a scary place, these words,

Could cost me my life, people,

Have been killed for less,

I don’t think I could take it back,

I could be tainted, I might need a fire,

To bring me back to the light,

Or someone, to push me over the edge,

Ghosts could exist, I could be the devil,

The heavens could require a sacrifice,

The waves push and they pull,

I could be the virgin you feed on,

To get through the night,

I’m just waiting to sleep,

Negligence, risk,

I could be jumping,

On a cloud, or maybe,

I’ve fallen so far,

That I can’t get back up,

I could have cast myself to the abyss,

Hell’s gates could be opening,

Black magic, contracts in the sand,

Some of these ideas, could still be,

Important, maybe I’m just a poet,

Recording things, the ideas, that pass through,

My mind, I could be an artist, a historian,

Keeping track, of what’s right,

I could also be a dragon,

Waiting for more treasure,

I could be greedy, maybe,

I went too far, is this still safe,

What do I dare to risk,

Am I still playing a game,

You forget, friend,

I’m not in charge.

Thunderstorm

Its raining, there’s lightning,

Am I clever enough, to get through the night,

Or is reality still running, I don’t dare to risk it,

I fear magic is still in the air, I still operate,

Under a set of rules, lessons rock through me,

Deciding, everything I do, I'm still a man,

There could be, a reward for the things,

The way I am, there could be a treasure,

I'm always hunting for, a sort of,

Consensual heaven, a lottery,

I'm always paying into,

Hierarchy could still exist,

And these ideas could still be important,

I could have, dared to risk it,

Just to find out, maybe I’m falling,

And I’m about to, hit the ground,

Will the dream end, or will I hit the jackpot,

What’s in the air tonight, could be,

Black magic, homeless people,

Cursing the night, there are,

So many, horrible places,

To be in, I could be in a good place,

I could be risking it, for love and life,

But you know what, it still looks greedy,

The streets could be hungry, they could,

Need a sacrifice tonight,

I could risk everything for love,

Poison on my lips, be careful,

Werewolves walk the streets at night,

It could be settling, getting ready,

For Halloween, a joke could still be,

In the air, but this could all be serious,

It could be a nightmare.
