Sonnet Sunday's: Bravery

-


 

The wind flows with blood-stopping wails

Just like the ones in campfire tales

Slowly, your heart starts to flutter

Pounding like the wooden shutter

Pause as you open the front door

Walk right into cobwebs galore

As you ascend the creaky stairs

Boldly go where no one else dares

Your steps stir up the dust so thick

Proving to all you’re not afraid

Venture to where the dead have stayed

There is a room at the end

Enter at your own risk, my friend

Standing in the farthest corner

A small girl dressed as a mourner

You approach her ever so quaint

Even though you’re about to faint

See a portion of her charred face

Causing your timid heart to race

Black as it were, living coal

Her cold eyes stare right through your soul

Startled, you go down with a thump

Darkness surrounds you as you slump

 Greetings and salutations, everyone, It’s Kirk coming to you from the hospital bed of love, and I thought, maybe it would be nice if I let everyone get to know me a little better. With me finally revealing my face, I don’t have a lot of what I like out there; you don’t know the nut behind the art. So, I figured I’d create a series of my Top Five things I like. So, without further ado, God bless you, here are a couple of my Top Five. If you would like to know more or have a request, please leave a comment. Top Five Candies: 1.       Milky Way: They were my maternal grandmother’s favorite. 2.       Black licorice: I know it’s odd, but I thoroughly enjoy it. 3.       Cadbury chocolate: I'm a huge fan of Cadbury products. Especially with almonds or caramel. 4.       M&M’s: They remind me of my paternal grandparents. Classic Plain and Peanut, mainly, but I also love other options. 5....

  Greetings and salutations,             It’s Kirk coming to you from the hospital bed of love, to wrap up my love for the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osborne. I was asked to do a top five of either Black Sabbath or Ozzy’s solo career, so I figured, why not do both? So, I’m going to do a double Top 5 as the Oz man deserves both. I know in my blog about him, I gave away my top song by him, but let’s focus more on that. And if you haven’t read the post, that’s fine, it will be news to you here. I’m not going to prolong this any further. First, we’re going Back to the Beginning , see what I did there?  LOL. Seriously, let’s start with where Ozzy did… My Top 5 Favorite Black Sabbath Songs: 5) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: I’ll be honest, the first time I heard this song wasn’t by Sabbath, it was off Anthrax’s I’m the Man EP. Now, I’m not a huge fan of Joey Belladonna, I liked John Bush better, but he did a good job with this on...

Sonnet Sundays: The House

 Sitting in the corner with my knees to my chest Young somber eyes are denied any form of rest For the visions to stop, I would tear out my eyes Tormented by images of silent cries It’s been so long since I’ve known bed’s restful state Over and over, I experience her fate Forced to bear witness each night to explicit gore The action so gruesome I utterly deplore This trip into madness, there’s no turning back Left with no way to save from the brutal attack Phantom slashes violently appear from her chest The ghostly red liquid splatters the family crest Amazed by the details this house has remembered Her transparent form being slowly dismembered In my life, I’ve not seen something this atrocious Wild animals have never been that ferocious Truly, this creature must have been morbidly sick Extinguishing her life just like the light from a wick Not exactly sure if these specters were married I am apprehensive as to where she’s buried Another night passes, I dare not try sleeping Stay i...
