Poems
Dec 2023
My mind fried
I'm looking for salvation
by the wounded hours of night
I'm thinking of a giant to the ****** of my plight
My pen lays as idle as the silence of the slain
As I've aged I wonder if I will ever write again
The thoughts go tango to dance that subtlely divides
The words are rudely gathered then told they've been denied
Someone dared to ask me
if I lived in
a graveyard
of shattered dreams
After a moment of silence all I could say was , "Yes , so it is as well it seems."
The paper island exists far out on an inky sea
The words have stowed away on boat and sailed far away from me
