As I walk thru the moonlight streets,
I hear the crunching of leaves under someone's feet.
Turn and see nothing there,
Thought maybe it was the air.
Go down the street a little more,
Only to hear a gunshot and witness a bloddy gore.
Look around to see where,
Standing there in dispair.
Look down and see a pool of blood,
In my heart emotions start to flood.
Revenge and anger race thru my brain,
As she lays there dying and in pain.
Holding her telling her to relax,
My heart ravaged by a murderous axe.
Looking up to the sky,
I sit and ask the Lord "Why?"
Everyday I see her face,
Thinking of her in a better place.
Hearing the sound of a gunshot,
Thought she might live but I guess not.
Looking death in the eyes,
Showing no fear much to his surprise.
Ran away yelling,
Vowed to kill again if found telling.
Three weeks in a tiny cell,
Makes a person's mind scream and yell.
Seeing his picture makes me turn and thrash,
Today,
I Rise From The Ash....

Wow, i really really liked this poem. The ending is thrilling. This poem is filled with utter suspense. Bravo pal.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
