This Killing Mood~

It collects in a globule at the corner of a scrape

a red cape

through space takes on motion between the quirky smile

and the dangerous tapping of a shoe on polished wood

soot on leather

gently toe the line

the white palm open for the drop of blood

caught

the paint turns burgundy with intent

splash of emotions

the work of art captures the three dimensional canvas

the condition of being alive

in an arena

where the walls scream

and the forest outside whispers with sharp teeth

the light bulb flickers with shadows

ghosts slip their veils

and everything from birth to this moment

collects its trails in the silver veins

of a knife;

tip and tap goes the shoe

tap and tip goes the buttered mood

tipped from a cutting board

into a hollow sternum

the fresh croissants spin through a dynamic air

peppered with spatial aortal blood

in midflight

hmm we can melt into your words ha - descriptions that coat the eyes in colour - "the light bulb flickers with shadows
ghosts slip their veils
and everything from birth to this moment
collects its trails in the silver veins
of a knife;" - Very jealous of the amount of gems you're knocking out!!!!!! brilliantly untuned, detuned and retuned as always!!!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Pretty good.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I think the lesson here is tragedy can happen anytime and anyplace, even during the simplest and most routine tasks. As always written in your unique way.

Such captivating eloquence, the dark overtones offer a warning to all that "All is not safe", remain vigil.

Wonderful piece of art!

[Rorke Hardy]

Sounds like a nice pleasant meal gone terribly wrong. Or terribly right. Reminiscent of Richard Kadrey. Very descriptive.

[Syd Warburton]

Love your way with words. They flow so nicely.

AMAZING DESCRIPTION, I loooove it

[patricia]

Loved this, could almost feel the moods way of coming out insiduously. As always your poem has that extra dimension, something else I can never put my finger on. I guess you just cant bottle magic. Thanks.
