Rise, Rise, Rise
Die, Die, Die
Oh why, why, why
do we Die, Die, Die
Snuffed.
All wicks have an eventual
end
All doors open
letting a cool breeze in
To flutter, to shake,
our souls
to extinguish
on a whim.

Best and Worst “Marvel” Movies
I think I compiled the full list of Marvel movies. That is movies with Marvel Characters in them based on the comic book characters and not movies exclusively made by Marvel studios.
The count I got was 37 Films.. Please correct me if I am in error and I will correct my listing, and I am not counting Howard the Duck dammit:
My Best to Worst list is my opinion only of course. Any movie with an asterisk on it is one I have not actually seen but that is not many but I placed them where I thought they deserved to be …probably towards the worst end which was why I didn’t see them in the first place….:)

Take Courage in OZ – A poem
Take Courage in OZ ~ 
You have a brain
bespectacled girl.
You have a heart
as the tears flow.
You are on the road
even though
the yellow bricks
are all faded and
cracked
You are on the road.
Take courage
as the forest for the
trees
grow up and around,
Dark arms reaching,
menacing.
Its all they are,
menacing arms
Its all they ever are.
Take courage in the night
for the moon lights
your path.
The lions, tigers and bears
are friends
For who could resist your charms.
Oh my!
Who could indeed?
And if they did.
Well what kind of friend
would they ever truly
be.
Take courage in Oz
for you walk the same land
as them.

Wolf Moon – A Poem
Wolf Moon ~ 
Cold fog seeps
and crawls across
the path I creep.
Winds undulate naked branches,
stirring dead leaves to life
begging at second chances
Darkness shrouds my form
wrapped in a cursed cocoon
that is constantly reborn.
Full moon rises high
resplendent in my soul
A wicked herald courses the sky.
Skin rips, tendons elongate,
Blood drips, fangs germinate
as hair propagates as muscles sip
at the power the moon
spills and instills
into me.
A howl escapes…
full and exultant,
primal and free.
It is answered
by a brother, then a sister
fallen under the same spell
of the Wolf Moon.
It’s a call
To hunt.
and we are hungry.
Oh so hungry.

Click of a Switch – A Poem
Click of Switch ~
I am turning off that switch,
you know the one,
the one that makes
me hesitate.
indecisive
unsure
filtered.
uncourageous (is that a real word)
too cautious
It’s what’s needed
to get down to the
nitty gritty of it all
I WILL stumble
I WILL fall
That undeniably will happen
I WILL hurt
I WILL hurt others
But I do anyway,
Ever forward as they say
with a click of a switch.
CLICK

They hide it well – A Poem
People,
they hide it well,
their fears and sorrows
as they lie there in the dark
thinking constantly of them
like a rain of dying leaves,
yet the tree never goes dormant,
leaves always falling
endlessly.
The shower cries a little more with
them in it…
The tissues strewn across the floor
like bombs gone off in a mind field.
The tension in the eyes, tight
like a highwire act…
Balancing, every balancing.
Survival.
It’s in them..
for the alternative cannot
be looked at.
Life.
It’s a wonderful state of mind
when you truly let it in.
That allowance for the little things
That smile,
That laugh,
A tender moment.
They only come once.
Don’t hide that as
well.

Her – A poem
Her ~
Her nature is fluid
a whisper
a scream
a jest
A consistent wanting
ever disguised.
How to cope with her?
Ha!
Now that is a trick question!
You do not cope.
You do not endure.
You do not wish.
Simply be,
like a kite in the wind
letting your tail be your anchor
as the breeze blows,
keeping you aloft.
Floating upon her currents.
You fly…
higher
and higher.
Never questioning
why
as you just enjoy the ride.

I could say – A poem
I could say ~
I could say
I have been wronged
ten times over
and it drove me
creeping to the
state I am.
Punches came
Inflicted,
Left, Right, from you
from her, him,
from within.
I could say that…
But I knew.
I saw all the punches
coming,
and I just stood there.
and took it
That punch, then that one, and another
and the pain came.
It seems to like me
and I’m addicted
to it
Until I feel nothing else
but.
I could say I should
have bobbed and weaved
danced and played
with my opponent (s)
Been more of a fighter
than just a bag.
I could say a lot but
I can’t because my
lip is swollen shut
So I am waiting for it to heal
Then we’ll see
what I’ll say.

Now – A Poem
Now~
Embracing the fear
The thrill
The escape
Adrenaline rush
Skin warming
You
Your body
Wanted
Must have
Now
No waiting
Whos watching
Who may watch
I dont fucking care
Just bend over
Now

She Said – A Poem
She said ~
She said,
I am sick of crying….
I am sick of dying
inside
a little every day
and every night
because life
likes to throw
so much shit my
way
and I cant cope
as I try to lay all the lines
straight
and they just
become entangled
all the more.
Choices come cheap
she said.
If you allow them in
Chances can be taken
when you just jump
Change can happen
with but a whisper
of want conveyed.
So she said.
