A couple of my poems

AUTUMN

 

The leaves sway

Back and forth. Side to side

Each grappling for a friend. Some comfort

As the water pellets fall

Killing and maiming the mind

In an empty, barren field

The leaves

Do they make a sound?

For there is no ear to listen. Witness

Does the tree exist at all?

Are the leaves imaginary

Each a separate worry, thought, feeling?

One by one, they fall

Dancing as they find their partners

In a slowly moving zig-zag. Weaving

To the ground

 

 

 

BOTTLE BAY

 

Lost in time and space

Miles seem so far and wide

For my weary heart to travel

Washed up and spat out by the tide

 

On a lonely Dunkirk beach

No sign of hope on the horizon. Nothing

My search party located

No word of joy or love did it bring

 

Hopless figurine before the sinking sun

There is nothing for me here. I am done

 

 

DEPARTURE LOUNGE

 

I can never forgive. This

How i feel

How i wish to die, because of you

Try to stop breathing.

Being

Living

 

You turn to me

With an emotionless face. Hard and cold.

I crumble. A ruin of a woman

Falling apart. Before your stoney eyes.

Dying.

 

I try to pull you back. Love you

But you simply look and me and say:

 

"Goodbye"

 

 

DAISY

 

Flickers of fairy dust flutter

Then land on her face. So pale

Golden, glittery goodness

Land on her arms. Thin and frail

 

A smile slowly stretches

Soft laughter trickles from her lips

Light glows from her angelic face

Slowly starting to dance. Sway her hips

 

Quickly, she gathers her golden grains

They float freely into her box. Hidden away

Secret stash of magical wonder

Kept only for her. For her rainy, stormy day

 

 

 

WAITING ROOM

 

Tick, tock. Tick, tock

Slow motion picture scene

Heavy eyes and weighed down limbs

Memoried flicker, of what has been

 

Tick, tock. Tick, tock

Another minute, another check

Lights fade and sound is no more

No mercy mission can save this wreck

 

Tick, tock. Tick, tock

Statue of stone in the coming dawn

Others return to the land of the living

Lights put out and the curtain is drawn

 

UNKNOWN

 

They never really knew her

They never really cared

All she wanted was a friend

Alone, she was so scared

But they never looked her way

Did not hear her cries

To them, when she was gone

It seemed such a big surprise

Since they never really knew her

When it came to mourning day

They all merged into black rows

But none had words to say

 

 

SHE WAS GONE

 

She awoke that morning

To the sound of thunderous rain

The tiny bullets of water

Reminded her of all the pain

Numb, she rose to her feet

Stumbled into a world of blackness

Where she raised her weapon

A tiny gleam in a vast sea of darkness

Before the rainbow could set

While the healing sun shone

Her life had been drained

And she was gone

 

 

FALLING PETALS

 

The delicate touch of the falling petal awoke me

Reminded me of a summer so distant

When we would walk

Passed the rustling stream

Along the path, where the rose petals fall

The days, long gone, tap at my thoughts

When i smell the delightfulness

Of the coming summer

When i shall relive those moments

Held in time by memory

And i shall always think of you

As the river rustles

As i stroll along those paths

Where the rose petals fall

 

 

SOLITUDE

 

Floating along in my battered vessel

Down a river which passes every port

Waves rise and sun hides behind grey

The fleeting sights of joy lived short

Further down, the cries of others so faint

Their directions all differing to my own

Isolation, in this vast sea of black

My journey is planned and my route sewn
