Deviant (A peom)

Considering Halloween is just around the corner, I decided to post on of my pieces from my second of two poetry books ”Shadows and Shade” that I think fits the theme fairly well. It also goes along with my photography interest in working with alternative models and the tattooed, pierced and Gothic style they often feature.

Enjoy!

Deviant

You’re a deviant

But that’s OK

Your tattoos and piercings

Drive me insane

—————————————-

You’re deeply twisted

But I don’t care

I love the purple and red streaks

In your savage black hair

——————————————–

You’re erratic

But it’s just fine

And your insidious nature

Leaves me wanting you for mine

July Sulfur (A Poem)

Ah, the smell of sulfur

Fills the hazy air

This breezy July night

And sets my thoughts in motion

To ages long gone by

 

This burning fuel of beauty

And blasts of brilliant rays

Is far beyond the predecessors

That dealt in gunpowder

And bullet induced flames

 

So once there was a struggle

That from time to time renews

But such July evenings

Hold everything

Our passion

Our life

Our truth

 

A selection from the book “Shadows and Shade” by Pittsburgh writer Jason Greiner.
