[bodytext] => Snow falls from a black sky Why do I live in fear? This is the dead land This is the cactus land This is your land And this is my land. Why do we kill our brothers Persecuting each other like animals Herd each other to our death Like pigs to the slaughter Today is the day no pigs shall die. I am the Pigman. Lonely This is my house These are my things Lonely Will you be my friends And lie me on a bed of roses? Snow falls from a black sky Lonely. Afraid. Dying in this midnight gloom The snow whitens my head Whitens my soul pure. But I can never be pure again. Fleeing from a hardened life Drugs. Sex. Rock and Roll. False gods, golden calves, They took over my heart Blackened my soul. Paradise was lost, And though I had it made, I made a hell of heaven Toys in the attic Drink in the crawlspace Cold. Deserted. Yet warm, friendly. Snow falls from a black sky But I?m alone no more Friends in the pages I live life through authors eyes The pages of my books. Drowning in my own grey matter, Throw me a line. Help. Tired of living, I long for a death unknown Anywhere, anytime I need the thrills, the adventure of it all. Snow falls from a black sky Welcome back. Hell The icy fires burn hot. The pain overwhelms Flames lick at our feet. The cactus burns The houses burn The tyger, tyger burns so bright. Negroes dance in the flames Wearing feathers, smoking pipes Brightly dancing Round and round Dancing forever. And ever. Snow falls from a black sky Light from dark, white from black White snow blankets the ground Over. The world spins My wrists empty out my life Blood, red wine, coats the ground I am crossing the Stygian river now.

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. ©
