The Carnival of My Conscience

Conundrums swirl in my mind
Like one twirls a fine wine
Or the passage of time
Mythical concoctions
Of rhyme and reason

The Bandage

No longer the dagger in my heart,
The wound gone
Scare remains.
The stitches used to pin my heart
Now holding the smile on my face.

The Monster in Me

The older I get the more that I s
There really is no light inside me
It’s all thistles and thorns,
A life that’s quite torn.
I look in the mirror and what do

Time

Smooth and quiet it is,
The essence of time.
Truly just a long lost rhyme
Bursting forth like the stars
Flowing from a Milky Galaxy.

The Eye Painter

Gemstone eyes
A desired prize
Emerald Greens
Sapphire Blues
Many sizes

Comet Dust

Passion over distance
Liquid drops
Heartbeat stops
Foolishness I know,
This I do not.

Darkness Sets

Light gone
Darkness rising
A different dawn.
Midnight hours
Spent in the warmth of your love,

Love, Your Son

I killed a man today, Mum.
Don’t worry, they said it was for
They said he was a nuisance to soc
They said he was a bastard child w
Worthless to the world and a burde

A Cold Night’s Thoughts

I sit out and ponder tonight
Under golden starlight.
A colder wind blows,
Winter is just around the bend.
Soon summer will end,

Raw

A life lived raw..
You can embrace no greater flaw
Nor live a life more honorable,
Taste no truer freedom.
Heartbeats of brutal honesty

Anguished

Colors induced,
Making lies reduce
To nothing but ants
Marching lazily
Around a banquet hall

A Line

a line
a line
what is a line?
a few frivolous
poisonous

Half Finished Poems

Lust for you long lost,
Yet my passion still remains.
No longer your love,
Running through my veins.
Dark days, and well, darker nights

A Long-lost Lover

I search for you,
Out on these trails
Where we first met.
Stars aligned
Passionate touch
