Starvation by Dept

Will you buy me lunch?
Oh come on,
Why not?
Well how much do I owe you?
No way.
Not that much.
It was only like 
thirty-five dollars per person.
Okay,
Alright...
I'll bring it Monday.
No really,
I'll give it to you on Monday.
Okay.
Good.
So will you buy me lunch?
Wait,
Where are you
Going?

Sacrifice

Lost and alone in the dark
night poisoned wood.
Dead trees reach out with mangled fingers
scratching away everything good.

Voices whisper in the leaves
and shadows pass
that are not attached to any form
either loosely or held fast.

Beings crouch like gargoyles
letting out an evil hiss
marking you in their arrows aim
you pray to gods they miss.

Their ugly faces scrutinize you
and say you will suffice.
They keep you in your ignorance,
and oblivious to your sacrifice.

Villanelle

I watch the world upon phoenix wings
that caress the lands below
and I sing the song a siren sings.

I see so many horrid things
no human should ever know.
I watch the world upon phoenix wings.

Trying to save them from retched dreams
to which all people go
I sing the song a siren sings.

Delicate and dangling life strings 
cut by the fabled hero.
I watch the world upon phoenix wings.

Closely mending the unraveling seams
that are creating holes to and fro
I sing the song a siren sings.

Reaping the land of evil things 
whose face they dare show.
I watch the world upon phoenix wings 
and I sing the song a siren sings.

Dream List

Wake up your fellow cult members
and a group of victims.
Go downstairs and outside
into the darkest woods.
Take a knife and carve
an X onto the back
of each cult members neck.
Hold your victim over
pure white bread
and slit every victims 
throat in turn.
Cut the sacrificial bread into equal pieces
and give one to each
cult member.
Eat.

I promise, I do not need therapy...

Limerick

If you ask me the rule of limerick I'd say
To begin the rhyme scheme with A.
Make 3rd and 4th lines B,
That is the key
And we end once again with A.

Wasting all of the day is fine
If I need a day that's sublime.
Get out of the swing;
Forget everything
If only I ever had time!

The Occasion of the Rise of the Supermodel

A dark room.
One lit corner.
with a glimpse at
another, distant world.
A dock anchored to its still pond.
Waxy plants protrude from the ground
and ducklings wander with a waddle and a peep.
One little girl sits in the midst of it all
knowing the flowers bloom for her.
Princess, angel of Now:
the quaint little world
in a picture.
"Star Quality. A Supermodel. I
must take her picture again."
Can't say I was surprised.
I've heard it before.
I'll hear it again.
I do not need
an expert opinion
to tell me what I've
been telling you all along.

Colors

Who am I if not the Green Dragon?
Forcefully baring my teeth
with bravery from fear
of a sneaking thief
allowing none to come near.
Who am I if not the Golden Treasure?
Beautiful, sparkling, and pure
but as for my worth
I could not be too sure
and make certain my best is put forth.
Who am I if not the Red Knight?
Quick and ready to defend
I ride with my pride
to protect those who depend
and vanquish the monsters inside.
