Couple more from the vaults:



It was dark and damp,
like a jungle at dusk just after a rain.
I was running from something,
with fear as my guide.
It was hard to make any headway
with so much brush in the way.
Soon I came upon a thin patch
and before me was
a cave of stone, black as coal.
Big enough to drive a truck through,
it would have provided escape
except for the sleeping beasts
that line the floor like a pink, flesh carpet.
They are a cross between pigs
and newborn, hairless rodents,
but with teeth and claws to rend my flesh
if they were to be disturbed.
I have to run, but the only way is the cave,
a minefield of carnivorous consequence.
Desperation takes me in, terror complicates it.
I step gingerly over and around my sleeping fate,
desperately trying not to touch them
even when my legs are clearly too short.
My heart races and the sweat burns my eyes.
Only a few feet inside and one begins to stir,
then two, three and more- I feel the need to scream.
They are waking and know I'm there.........

-------------------

Popcorn and candy canes,
Fishnets and garters,
M & M's and gummi bears,
Ecstasy and booze,

Cup cakes and licorice,
Lacey panties, leather whips,
Bubble gum and pixie sticks,
Coffee cake and lust.

Jumbo's Girls and cinnamon swirls,
Dollar bills and all the frills,
And bowls of Hershey's Kisses.

Lipstick and lemonade,
Pheromones and taffy,
Yukon Jack, Cracker Jacks,
And the lights turned low.

Catholic skirts and lollipops,
Bare breasts and Red Hots,
Candied apples and perfume,
Ice Cream and shrooms.

High heels and lingerie,
Sweets for the sweet,
Halloween tricks for some,
But I'll take the treats.
