The Graveyard Of Her Soul
Her prized possessions
She wanders through memory lane
Picking out pieces of her nightmares,
Gathering her pain, her heartbreak
Noticing where her tears need repairs.
***
She collects her previous scalpings
Those collected during her insanity,
Souvenirs of those who wronged her
Silencing their uttering of profanity.
***
Her hunting grounds are getting lean
As she no longer hides from the dark,
Cross her at your own risk, your peril
She’ll brand you with her sordid mark.
***
There’s no more room for forgiveness
She’s quick to decide you’ll be next,
Beheading you with a torrid smile
Proof, no she’ll class you as suspect.
***
There were times she could be kind
These’er getting fewer and far between,
If you’ve wronged her in any way
You’ve been listed as sordidly mean.
***
Her trophies are her prized possession
As she mounts them around her soul,
Torturing them all as she sees fit
Giggling insanely with the lives she stole.
***
Her favourite haunt is the old graveyard
Where she reads the stories of the past,
Knowing she’s the last one remembered
Lingering on, as her choices are cast.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
