The Green Demon
lately i've been seeing
the green demon
when i least expect it
he's reflected
in my rearview mirror
i'm sure he's aware
of my secret stares
still he give no indication
once the foolish games begun
his helmet hides his hair color
his jacket his physique
but i swear
i know that profile
though my memory grows weak
lately i've been meeting
with the green demon
his honda three-fifty screaming
in a race that's never won

The Indifferent
The Indifferent
do not count me among
the indifferent for
i have too much
compassion for mankind
to turn a deaf ear to
the sick, lost or those
subjected to injustice
i am driven by a need
for peace not for
myself alone
but all who inhabit
the world and if
indifference is tantamount
to lifelessness
do not count me
among the living dead

The Price Of Perfume
a woman should always wear expensive perfume
even if she has to skip a meal
here and there
the price of perfume may go up but
her waistline will go down

The Sequel To The Day The Clock Stopped
her eyes are fixated on
the hands of the clock
on the wall
unlike her racing thoughts
time seems to have stopped
a feeling of loneliness
runs through her veins
as she wonders if
she has crossed over
the line to insanity
gripping her rosary
she begs for God's mercy
pleads for her salvation
things move in slow motion
as she realizes
her prayer was answered
she lifts herself up
and slips out of bed
ready now to face the world
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
