Death My Old Friend

Death My Old Friend

Death my old friend, let me lay down with you. Come around me wrap your arms, to sleep gently soothe me. My life’s been long, I’ve lived it well, no regrets to speak of. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, there were times my heart was broken. But not one,

Concrete Prison

Concrete Prison

In this prison of concrete and steel, I sometimes wonder if I'm even real. Do I really walk my own way? Or am I bound to do what they say? Murder in the streets, killing on the news. It's a wonder where I learned these views. The mask I wear hi

Maat

Ma'at

Have you ever thought about what it would take to restore life's balance? To fix it where humanity was one with life? Instead of people out there hustling around trying to event this and that to make things better as they see it they would be just enjoying the world as one of natures miracles? To not have anyone better than the other? Richer than the other? The right color? The right size? Just simply allowed to be? To roam the earth to eat the fruits off the trees? Without getting a shot gun shoved in your face and told to get off my property. Because there would no longer be your property or mine. I cannot help but wonder when did we decide we could take property and call it ours? Was this the beginning of the end?

Eyes So Icy Blue

A sinking feeling to describe the smell of death washing up upon a stormy shore as it conjures up fleeting images of time and mortality for 'who knows who we really are' when our whole life is only like footprints found in the sand...... here today and gone tomorrow......

silent screams

silent screams

Its not in me to cause hurt, so my screams aren't heard, my pain not dealt, Never a doubt, one tear of mine would end hell, Cause I'm sure it would implode from my pain, Is there anyway to stop the silent screams, is there a way to end so much

Through Yonder Darkly Wanders

I thought that I would try a different way of writing to how I normally write ... this is not based on any reality and is purely fiction.
