The Puzzle Mag - 54

Come night

the pieces 

on the bedside floor

 attacking them with 

single minded devotion

joining, disjoining
the chaos 
the mind swirls in
simple enough
at first glance

some fit like 

they are born to it

others belong 

so obvious elsewhere

trying desperately

fails to find

the lost one
the missing piece

of her lonely heart...

The View - Mag 52

They waited

 in silence

exhaling breath frozen,

numbed bodies

in the biting cold...

To the younger

 warm and inviting

a house of horror 
for the partner

the latest human sacrifice 

entrapped within

the glossy green edifice.
