Behind Closed Doors (by Diana Rose)

Behind Closed Doors
by Diana Rose

Scent …clings to a room

Pervacent as cats feet across

mystic night air

It seeps in sleeping minds

with eyes wide shut,

Clandestine

rendezvous in midnight hour

while a sleeping dog lies.

See spot run,

the drum beats the tune

and he runs

baying at moon with packs

of wolves in sheeps clothing

Pissing on fences

erected

for circumstantial reason.

Whispered words

italicized

centered focus

were more than the fine line

walked down the median

with headlights

blurring vision,

Lost…

between the sheets

of the fucked

and mind fuck

Beyond the

ass(sertion)

of reality

fenced framed and fucked again.

American whore

the pictures of her

on the players lists.

More than this

time ticked

tocked…

sands sifted through fingers

where and when

were we before this…

still whispered

were the words…

framed

warm inviting

like the kiss of Judas.

Omission

the slap

with a whip(lash)

discord(ant)

jazz chords

rift final notes

ass(ending)

beyond all belief

as you walked on down the hall.

The closed door

the tale to be told

in darkness

fringe

calculated

estimated

jaded

fucked again.

Diana Rose was known for years on MySpace as “Angelheart” who between the years 2006-2010 produced the “Weekly Top Ten” and spun off a weekly radio show on BlogTalk Radio that interviewed poets and editors and producers around the globe. She is proud to have interviewed hundreds of poets such as Max Parthas, Talaam Acey, Eddie Oliver, Eric Moore, Award winning screenplay writer James Crafford, Epiphany Castro editor, and founder of Madswirl Johnny Olsen. She has been published in LitUp Magazine, Plebian Rag Vol I, Virgogray Press (National Poetry Month Anthology), Alabaster and Mercury Vol I, WebDigest Weekly, Blue Turtle Crossing , 10K Poets National Poetry Month Edition, and Carcinogenic Poetry.  She is glad she didn’t listen to her sophomore year professor to “do the world a favor and give up writing” or she wouldnt have met her soulmate/poet Anthony Thomas better known as Frankie Metro. Together they are fueling the world of small press enough to set the world ablaze. Catch them in open mics in Tampa/ St Petersburg area of Florida… they may be traveling to one near you!  Diana is raising four budding Mad Ones …who are future bad boys, artists and TV Journalists. (Gonzo reporting anyone??)  Join her at the St Petersburg Pier for a bucket of Coronas or a Mojito or two any day!!

Existential Fluffer and the Nihilist Daydream (by Diana Rose)

Existential Fluffer and the Nihilist Daydream
by Diana Rose

The hum of the death rattle
is an ever present
moan…
It is the sound that is in the background
floating between
crimson sky and earthly plane
It is the hiss
at the end of the day…
as the sun sinks to depths beneath horizon
and the earth plummets into the abyss
of darkness.

She holds it between her teeth
like a Spanish siren
weaving between blinks of
your last waking notions
the hiss and the hum
that wraps your mind
into that long tunnel…
halucinogenic toreador of night sweats
She is your incarnate angel
the last plunge into nothing.
That last long walk on down the hall…
you pass…rooms
of glass doors
that you can see…but cant touch
images of what is
what was
and what could be
and yet her rattle continues…
The death rattle hum…
the long flat grey line…
that you trace with crayolas
down that glass as you
walk on down the hall…
She teases with glimpses
lunges of lips
curl of tongue
but out of reach she remains…

Nothingness
a vacuum of perception induced memory
and you pause…
as she stops at the final glass frame
You cant see through the darkness
just the death rattle hiss
the cold glass
and a dim faint light
of the last star
you see
as
suddenly
everything
stops.
