Current

Torn, tied, captive I rest here with closed eyes For I dare not look to the future As I am afraid I'll lead a lonesome lie A silent misery tears and scratches my soul I am bound by myself and others However, this misery is mine alone Hidden by...

Free Raffle May 2019

I watched the sunset fall behind the skyline of the city. It was all I could do to keep a lump out of my throat as I shut the door and threw the bolt. I was going against my boss's wishes, and I knew it, there was no going back. Behind me I can hear...

My Shining Light

You were the light shining bright in the night sky, Leading me home where I belonged. But I started to go blind. I got scared and the more I fought the dark away, The less I could see you. Now I sit here, cold and surrounded by fear. I still...

Its one of those nights. When the weight you've been ignoring pokes out its ugly head and decides it no longer needs to remain quietly shifting your shoulders. Distracting you from happier thoughts and shoving its gnarly visage into your sights, always...

December's Hope

The pure white snow descends upon the sinful town below, Asphyxiated by heroin deals and welfare checks. Where many are cursed without a face and a vacant path ahead, While others huddle around the fireplace, befriending gin and razors. Yet, as...

Fight

I exhale into the darkness Shadows blanket me in A cold, silent anger. "When does your hope die?" Confused, I exhale once more The shadows tighten their grip Their anger growing colder "Do you still have faith?" Once more, I breathe unto...

You

When you are sad, and you feel you can't go on. Tears well in your eyes and the pain is so strong. So far from your friends, and you're all on your own. No-one to run to, So very alone. When all seems so useless, and...

The Tree

I wrote this poem some years ago when I always visited this only tree out in the middle of a corn field. The farmer didn't chop it down in any manner, even though it was already dead. I always sat under it when the crops were gone, near my birthday. I...
