The Wire - Roots and All The telephone cord twists wistfully From the phone by my bed. It crawls through my sister's room, Through the floor and into the wall. Free from the house it travels under the ground, Joins an electric wire river. From there I know not where it flows Only that at … Continue reading The Wire

The Ravens
Ravens - Chad Bonaker - Photoshop Collage I see ravens in her eyes Thoughts which flutter Weighing down a free soul. They scrounge and scatter thought She gives them nothing, yet they feed.

The Weight
The Weight - Butterflies Butterflies move through my vision, Swirling, Swishing wings beat, Fluttering thoughts touch lightly Upon my hyper tense unconsciousness.

The Weight … Continue reading The Weight

Poem 10 – Marble Statues in the Yard
Marble Statues in the Yard The marble statues in the yard Sometimes dance late at night. They possess a secret inner power, Which lies hidden in sunlight.

Poem 9 – Abyss
Abyss I fallen into a deep abyss, I watch the wall stream by. Hands reach out to help me I don't even try. Masked by the deep delusion Everyone else can but me can see The folly of simply falling, What a nuisance reality can be. Well I tried my best to reach you This … Continue reading Poem 9 – Abyss
Poem 8 – The Candle of my Heart
The Candle of my Heart The candle of my heart burns bright For only a few to see Shedding a brilliant light For all that is to be.
