Plight
The crackings of the whip.
The screams of pain.
The blood of peeled flesh.
The plight of their time.
Rest Home Dilemma
In his rocking chair.
He just rocks
And he goes nowhere.
He'll look at you
With a glassy stare.
The sight of him
Is hard to bear.
He lost his love
Of many years.
His bloodshot eyes
Are filled with tears.
He hardly knows
If you are here.
In his sad life
There is no cheer.
He only waits
For his final day.
When they come
And take him away.
Then he will rest
And all can say.
He'll meet his love
And together they'll stay.
The Second Hand
Time wouldn't talk to me and I couldn't tell
But time told me when I was sixty
Time became a friend late in my life
And this time I hope that time
Tells me to do the things that are right
Bitter sweet memories I'll hold onto for as long as I can
When I was young I didn't know I was thirty
Time became a friend late in my life and here I am
What I finally noticed I'll try to say but you are far away
And words are now useless as I find
Time only talks with the second hand
Pillars of a Lifetime
what is it I've become?
The pillar of my sanity,
I've yet to overcome.
They fall, as they crumble in my wake,
these pillars I have come to love,
I now can only rake.
Take away the pain from me,
what remains but the shell?
The hollowed essence of a man,
not sane enough to tell.
Sanity alone, not the only one that fell,
these pillars I have come to loathe,
have buried me as well.
I Think I'll Be There Tonight
I look behind me no one in sight
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight
The speed zone is slow and alone
Not a stop sign do I see no off road to the left or right
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight
Finally a sign curve up ahead
I can't remember the last thing she said
I lean on a post under a dim street light
Still headed to lonelyville I think I'll be there tonight
Does anyone care
If I were to die today would anybody truly care
Will they be at my bedside as I slowly slip away
Or will they be off on an adventure many miles away
Will it be quick or will it be slow
Who will be there when I finally go
What hearts will break what lives will shatter
For the loss of someone who doesn't really matter
So when that day inevitably comes for me
I hope those I love will be there for me to see
About this poem:
I wrote this because I suffer from severe anxietySo Tired Of Lonely
So tired of lonely
Lord I hope it doesn't sound like I complain
But I'm tired of lonely
So tired of lonely
I need to hear words that fall upon my ears like a gentle rain
I need to see April flowers even when the summer is hot and dry
I need to feel the power of someone else's mind
And I would dare for time to fly
Do I say this as a dream or almost a prayer
As I write of these things if only someone could read it here
Instead of reading it there
Options Are Few
Boredom is due
To take over
Where did I fail
How can I prevail
Wish I had an angel leaning on my shoulder
Whether it's rain or shine
Does it matter if I'm up or I recline
Options are few boredom is due to take over
The scene out my window stays the same
The walls inside have the echo of a lonliness pain
I can only be where yesterday remains
There's no trail so I can find a lucky penny
Where's the meadow if I could find a four leaf clover
Options are few boredom is due to take over
The night will be here soon
And there will be the moon
Wish I had an angel leaning on my shoulder
What If I Had Nothing To Say
But I don't write anymore so what's the use of thinking
Life goes on outside my door and the years are blinking
Maybe I should simple enjoy the day
And throw this letter away
Like I've done a hundred times before
The sky is blue I feel the warmth of the sun
And for the night the moon was made so you could hold someone
In a special way
But I don't write anymore
Whereas wherefore what if
I had nothing to say
Requiem for a Lost Soul
set my spirit free
hear the waves of the ocean
faithfully aboard the cold
close my eyes and dream
like ripples on the water
beyond the abyss
the echoed voice of hope
my soul has run aground
