I shall let the reader draw thier own meaning from it as that is the true beauty of poetry. [bodytext] =>

Do not fear
The killer has just arrived
In a dusty, rusty burned out car
With golden gleaming hubcaps.

The end is near
So do not fear.
The plundering souls
Shall make a murky soup
Simmering bubbly-like in the cauldron.

“Didn’t you know?”
The riot was incited as ceremonial
A dance to marbled gods
Of platinum flesh
Swimming in a steamy pile.

She did not smile
None of them met pleasure in her eyes
So the throes of sacrifice came
Again,
And again
Upon the steamy slithering pile
The stumbling fools did follow.

But a car door nearby creaks
Into our dreams it shall seep
So do not fear
The killer is here
Swimming near the edge.

Ceremonial Fire

Into our dreams it shall seep

Swimming near the edge.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
