PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

he writes as other writer's only dream of writing

in such brilliantly defying detail

but one must wonder

what drives his mind to run such a gambit of gore

he makes love seem like an embittered agony

yet he himself is happily settled down and married

with children

hence the great writer only gets the occasional chance

to scream out from behind the happy day to day

domesticity

he touches upon the undeniable humanity in all of man

yet the darker sores he places in our reading minds

can not so easily be ignored

he lives to be  deceiving you see

and enjoys making us feel as if he doesn't really care

but he does

greatly, deeply and with such passion and unshakable

honesty

he's faithful to his public

I shamelessly live to read his next text of

unconscionable horrors

as it is a numbing drug for us dark side addicts

as to me

well its poetry

but on a much more fleshy fear dripping level

I've said this before

but he's likely never heard

his fiction's subconscious terrorizing of the

common soul inspires me to climb in myself

such walls of fallible greatness

I'm most happy to claim that the twentieth

century in part shall be remembered by many

as the parent century of famed novelist

Stephen King

come my horrified children

stand up and applaud...................
