Words & Power

Remember
she whispered
voice choked with pain
remember always my child
words have power
you must be careful
do not use for gain.
Beware the urge to scream into the storm
sending into that tempest
your victim’s name;
for out it will ride
blowing on the slightest breeze
until it finds that person
bringing them to their knees.
Take care with the whispered passion
shadows will take
twist
make it so
they will become a chain around your ankles
doting even as you lay dying.
Stay your hand
when it waves in the air
for even fingers talk
giving voice to the feelings inside
releasing them with nature’s force
to take revenge on all those…..
here she stopped,
I held her hand,
tightly in my own,
as gasping out her last breath,
clouded grey eyes
seeking mine with urgency…..
Remember child
words have power…..
used correctly the world will be at your feet…..
used incorrectly and you will hang at the end of a noose.

Soul Reaper

Emboldened
lack of pieces
strewn across the chessboard
leads him to believe
that he has won
there is no one else
who can take him on.
Evil pours from his body
wrapped around tight like a cloak
as he utters
high pitched giggles
believing world domination
is at his fingertips.
Through the shadows she steps
an assassin
sinful black
she wears her deaths with pride.
Every shadow bends towards her
caressing each part
hiding from casual sight
the danger
even after she is long gone.
He shivers
a ghostly breath upon his neck
shaking his head
dispel the thought
even as the blade begins its descent.
A quick slash across his throat
gone
a wraith
no one sees her
no one hears her
no one feels her
until…..
the cold of her steel
settles upon their hearts
as she takes their souls
to pay the price.
