Little Girls

Mom, what if the bed is a monster?

What if the pillow is a bait?

What if the blanket is his tool

To wrap little girls like me?

Does he carry them far away

Where he actually dwells

Somewhere in a dark cave

Where he feasts and savours

Innocent, little girls like me?

Does nobody fight back?

Is he too ugly? Too powerful?

Can I fight him, Mom?

Am I brave enough? Strong enough

To save little girls like me?

My Dark Shadow

My dark shadow never leaves me

Follows me day and night

Follows me to all the places

Wherever there is light

My dark shadow keeps a watch

Stares right through my skin

At my soul in his control

Locked forever within

My dark shadow always haunts me

Haunts me night and day

All my heart is torn apart

For she never goes away

Just This One Last Time

A friend asked me to read his palm

“Tell me how long I’ve got

Am I going to live plenty?

Am I going to live a lot?”

Now he always likes to pull my leg

I’m not at all into reading lines

Yet I played along with him

Just this one last time

I said, “This short line over here

That’s worrying I must say

I do not reckon you would

Make it past another day.”

He chuckled and called me an ass

“How long do I get to live?

Is it a minute or an hour?

How much time do you give?”

“Just a couple of minutes.” I said

And stabbed him several times

I chuckled and called him an ass

Just this one last time

A Million Years’ Debt

A million years ago we buried our sins
Deep in the ground where the fruits don’t spring
There they lay in silence and quiet
Devoid of space and devoid of light
We lay in the fields and lost our thoughts
We shook firm hands, loosened knots
The first few nights we didn’t sleep very well
A million nights’ve passed, but who could tell?
The sun was forgiving or so wrongly we assumed
The land was hungry and the sins; consumed
Nights came with peace and the haunting had ceased
The worries in us were slowly released
But then this morning we heard a strange noise
It was nothing else but the forgotten voice
The darkest sins had burst open our lands
We informed our kids, wife and friends
For a million years they were growing their roots
Now we’re shivering in our hearts and boots
The sins have come and they will have their way
A million years’ debt now left to pay

The Final Halloween

Come you little creeps
Come here to your queen
Bring me all your poison
To mark this Halloween
Lets raise the skeletons
And all the undeads
Evil monsters and lords
Zombies with no heads
Tonight we take the streets
Take over every place
Paint this entire town
With my charming face
Set their hearts with fear
With creeps that run and crawl
Deliver the message of
The curse that will befall
So come you little creeps
Come here to your queen
Tonight we celebrate
The final Halloween

Hell

It isn’t hard to tell
You may know it very well
This place that we live in is Hell

The signs are all clear
We’re surrounded by our fears
The end is afar but seems so near

You are on your own
And I am left alone
Everyone’s relatively unknown

The storm’s blowing wild
On a mother and her child
While I saw a demon as he smiled

Minutes feel like days
This body burns in ways
Can put to shame the darkest blaze

You can tell it by the smell
This place where we dwell
Yes this place that we live in is Hell

No One Cares

Somewhere in the distance
A gunshot’s heard
Everyone stops and stares

Right under your nose
A flower blooms
No one really cares

It is comforting to see
Others’ horror affairs
To know we are not
The only ones in despair
Yes it scares me
Yes it scares
But no one cares
No one cares

Sleep Tight, Maggie

The howls are audible
Full moon’s beaming down
All the evil spirits
Have suddenly come alive
Haven’t seen the morning sun
For weeks now
It is darkness all around
The creepy creatures are crawling
Slowly towards me
My daughter’s sleeping in her bed
I could wake her up and run
But that is not my style
I will face them all
I’ve got my gun
And my cigar
Together we will bring them
Down to their knees
Bang! One down
So many more to go
I won’t let anyone
Disturb her sleep tonight
Time to teach you a lesson
For scaring my princess
Bang! Two down
I am warning you
I have promised my girl
When she wakes up
She’ll find all of you down
And the golden sun up

Bad Dreams

You pull me down you leave a scar
In bad dreams of mine you are a star
You chase me down I run afar
When I wake there still you are

Once I Ate Some Spiders

Once I ate some spiders
Just to check their taste
My tongue felt nothing. An
Experiment in waste
They went down in one gulp
I thought it was the end
But I was proved so wrong
By my abdomen
I can feel them crawling
Weaving webs inside
Just no way to stop them
Nowhere to run or hide
I can’t take it anymore
The pain is terrible
Don’t know what they’re doing
But it’s unbearable
Now there’s only one thing
That I need to do
I’ll cut myself wide open
You can have them too
