Victor coughed and growled as he weaved in and out of the concrete giants of Chicago city. His boots pounded across the ground; faster and faster as his assailant grew nearer. The spiteful rain hammered all around like never-ending bullets, and the eerie moonlight fought its way through the choking fog. Running deeper into the hopeless labyrinth, Victor sacrificed one precious moment to look over his shoulder, and his eyes widened with fear at the mysterious silhouette. The hooded stranger swept along the alley, his long, fluid coat trailing behind him. The man's ghost-like movement mystified Victor, but without more hesitation he started to
Something in his eyes... by Invader-Tom, literature

Something in his eyes...
The deal was perfect,
Sound and secure.
Checked countless times,
No loopholes -- to be sure.
I scanned the large room,
All expressions, reserved.
Most faces showed confidence,
Below the surface – unnerved.
The man opposite me,
Wrapped in dark cloak.
Breathed in and looked around,
Thoughts gathered, before he spoke…
Then briefly our gazes met –
I was filled with wonder, then surprise!
A window into his soul, I’d found,
It was something in his eyes!
For that moment I knew.
I could see thorough all the lies…
Aye, that was it.
It was something in his eyes…
The twinkle had given away his plan
Imagine a world, without violence or doom,
With fresh air to breath, where all have room.
Fewer cities, towns, buildings and people,
Where one can roam freely – all beings equal.
Picture a place with no laws to fight;
Because ‘wrong’ isn’t known, and everything’s ‘right’.
Murder and stealing? Means nothing there;
Why would one kill – and why not just share?
Dream up a land – possession isn’t known!
Everything belongs to everyone – no one can own.
There is food to go around – not less, not more,
No being goes unloved, hated, not cared for.
Is this world made up

Is this world made up
Tired regressions into future states
yield the unknown to the forefront
of the mind's canvas.
We were only children when it began,
our fingers dipping into random buckets of life
to spread across the blank unknown.
What a mess we made of ourselves:
our minds cluttered with colors
and unfocused photographs
of things we were told to remember.
It doesn't matter what mistakes
were made in the painting;
it doesn't matter how late
we stayed awake thinking
that we could have done it better.
It's done and it's ours:
all of the splotches and lines,
the cracks in the paint
from our very first experiments in living.
And
we still don'
You.
You've crushed all I've believed in
Tainted my very being
And somehow, I'm still breathing
You're even there when I'm dreaming
Please tell me it's receding
I've spent too long bleeding
Amidst it all, I'm still breathing.
Beautiful porcelain skin
Soft cloth caressing her frame
Eyes twinkling like gold
Who knew she'd be the one to blame
Squelched into the contrived space
The wheels begin to churn
And all along, her euphoric eyes
Swelled and began to burn
As her sobs join the chorus of others
Her mind is fairytales away
Dreaming of the butterfly
She hopes will come her way
Her abstruse thoughts are broken
By the screeching of hinges
They are wrenched from their surroundings
And everybody cringes
The aroma of demise
Soon fills the young girls night
"Men and women to the left,
Children and elderly to the right"
Along this morbid path
A mirage
Imagine a world, without violence or doom,
With fresh air to breath, where all have room.
Fewer cities, towns, buildings and people,
Where one can roam freely – all beings equal.
