Goddess

The evaporating aroma
of roasted coffee
spread between her red lips.
The enhanced eyelashes
accentuated her contacted
blue eyes.
Her long and curly hair
hung on her bare shoulders.
It was real and undisturbed.
A modern Helen of Troy
many claimed.
She with her air of a Goddess
prowled the streets with her
high heels and polished nails.
She ruled from her
queen-sized throne.
Fierce and wild she
took men and women
to the realm of ecstasy.
Her arched back and small breasts
covered in the melting of the bodies.
She was a good school girl,
a nun,
a Mom.
Anything her victims wanted.
She was a fair queen.
Dishearten queens tried
to assault her realm.
She knocked them out
with her iron fist
that broke noses.
She was the only queen
this realm needed.
She was once
mortal.
That had a loving mother
that made cookies during the
long and dark winter nights.
During the day she built snow castles
and made snow angels with
her faithful companion Mr. Spot.
Mr. Spot and her mother
went to the kingdom of the Reaper.
Alone she cried silently on the dark corridors
at the Angel Island House for Children.
Rusty swings creaked on the dark
and old chains dragged on and on.

The caretakers came,
they came.
Nuns with fermented breath
groped her in the damped darkness.
Life is beautiful
Once she read on an old book,
she laughed and tears rolled down
her purple eyes.
Another cafeteria fight,
one more and she was going to be
free.
Jail was a possibility then for our queen.
It was worst.

The Streets and the Johns
welcomed her with opened arms.
And the pimps
laid for our queen
the green and white powdered carpet
the royal treatment.
Now she lies
in her burial chamber
fitting to her status as the queen
running sewers and rats
guard her
.

Doubt in the Night

Stillness unforgiving A Stranger in heaven Between this Earth and my distilled Heart In silence it cries bleeds between my palms Drunk in the solitude I search for the light Amidst the night. In and out Like the silver knife my life shines between the moonlight A face I see the face Stumbling between the sea rocks The deadly precipice of fate The waves like the reaper smile in the moonlight.

Under the Bed

                Luke’s mother has always avoided talking about the brown traveling case that is under the bed. Whenever she cleans up under the bed, Luke always asks her what is inside the case but she just changes the subject and moves on.  She always keeps the little golden key that opens the case around her neck and never takes it off unless when she showers. Luke has made many attempts to get the key but he never gets it. Today, his aunt, Mary, and cousin, Laura, are visiting them. Laura is thirteen just like Luke is. She is a little taller than and she has always made fun of how short he is. “Hey you still the short one” Laura says putting her hand on top of Luke’s head and showing him that he just reaches where her nose is. “You know that guys grow a little slower and someday I will be taller than you!” he says and runs off to the living room. Her aunt and mom stay on the kitchen getting ready to go out and shop the presents for Christmas. Luke’s mother goes to the living

Norashe Before the Storm Chapter 4 Part I

Chapter 4                  “Chained we stood at the edge of the world for we once were like gods. Over the edge we were thrown into the darkness. Hades welcomed us with its cold embrace. Into the darkness we emerged anew.” –Memories of a Fallen.                 Captain Rodrigo Robles stood straight before the Great Commander Buendia. With his fist to his chest and his chin up. The Imperial salute. The Commander returned the salute and the Captain smiled. The city burned behind them as more Fallen continued to pour out of the sewers but there was still time for formalities. “We have lost most of the Pink district, Sir.” The Captain said.                 The Church bells continued to sound around the city and the whole city was awake by now. “I know,” The Commander replied.  “Martin send more reinforcements to the cathedral and tell Joseph to stop screwing around and get those marines to the harbor.”                 Officer Martin saluted and left at once.
