The earth weeps tears
to fill an ocean.
As oceans fill with waste,
no one takes notice.
As icebergs melt and crumble,
no one stops to listen.
But once a deadly virus appears,
the world wakes in an uproar.
The danger has hit home.
The earth weeps tears
to fill an ocean.
As oceans fill with waste,
no one takes notice.
As icebergs melt and crumble,
no one stops to listen.
But once a deadly virus appears,
the world wakes in an uproar.
The danger has hit home.
Anger raises the waves.
Tears soften the white sand.
Fear hides behind clouds,
marching forth like a band.
I know he is here.
I hide from his face.
He’s coming for me.
Clouds quicken the pace.
His descent inspires awe and fear.
He’ll sweep into town like a dove.
His ire can move mountains.
For me, he moves the sky above.

From here I can see
the wonderful sea.
I step through the door
and stand at the shore.
The sand is soft beneath my feet.
I’m sure I’ve found a pleasant treat.
Then a metal door swipes across the sky,
removing the sunshine from the blue sky.
Trapped in a replica of my town,
I watch the sand turn a shade of brown.
The longed-for peace won’t be won
since I’ve trusted the wrong one.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
Blood red sky at night.
Watched with sailor’s bated breath.
A vampires’ delight.
THE DEAD GAME
by Susanne Leist
Red is the sun’s last ray
as it sets for the day.
Red is my vision as
I watch you play.
Red is the desire
I feel for you each day.
Red is your blood now
flowing through my veins.

I want to taste your sweet nectar
and lose myself in your fragrance.
Your blood will be mine
as I pluck you from the vine.
