Sweaty bondage
Mouth gagged
I know who you are…
There is no grave to deep
Not even definitive monsters
That discolors the bruises
Sticking silence
How the Moon falls
To a hoarse throat after
Crying out a thousand prayers
Unhinging cavity acids
To the tune of four letter words

Recreating voices of darkness
Listen to the poem...On Hiatus
Eavesdropping...drunk...on windblown hair
Adrift in massive bone and skin grafts
Preconceived darkness
Spewing precise images..the malestrom
Of an maddening war
Passing the gangrene plate
With bragging rights
To a charred heart working overtime

Face numb
No longer in possession of faculties
Creatures of dreams, lick their jowls
Hello there...Alcatraz
Hello Nightmares...Rotting Forced Solitude
What is the word for rest?
I’ve forgotten
Cujo Awaits

Whoa! This is kinda on the dark side, for Lee J.
But, I did enjoy reading.

Oy. This is painful, dark, and definitely fitting to the horror of which you speak. Well written.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
