Meanwhile...

Meanwhile...
I love all creatures. I consider them, all of them, to be sentient beings... I write thrillers, fantasy, mysteries, gothic horror, romantic adventure, occult, Noir, westerns and various types of short stories. I also re-tell traditional folk tales and make old fairy tales carefully cracked. I'm often awake very early in the morning. A cuppa, and fifteen minutes later I'm usually writing something. ;)

"A Little Drop Of Poison"...





I like my town

with a little drop of poison. 

Nobody knows
They're linin' up to go insane.

I'm all alone.
I smoke my friends down to the filter.
But, I feel much cleaner
After it rains.

And, she left in the fall

That's her picture on the wall..
She always had that little drop of poison.

Did the Devil
Make the World
While God was sleeping.
You'll never get a wish from a bone.

Another long goodbye
And a hundred sailors.
That deep blue sky
Is my home.

And, she left in the fall
That's her picture on the wall.
She always had that little drop of poison.


Well, a rat
Always knows
When he's in with weasels.

Here you lose a little everyday


Well, I remember
When a million was a million.
They all have ways
To make you pay.
And, she left in the fall.
That's her picture on the wall.
She always had that little drop of poison."
