Poem – Page 69 – Simon A Jackson

Try It

Forgive and forgetOnly some of us can do it Pain is easier held to the chestEven if it’s not for the bestTrait that we all shareNone of us lack an ability to care Forgive and forgetOnly some of us can do it Revenge is a dish we craveDoesn’t mean that we are braveJust fixated onContinue reading “Try It”

Descending

Passing on the seldom sunOne filled with opposite funStranded with a filthy glowChaos is what will showStuck in the desert sandWith only the constant landJoking with the blasted rockNot sure if I’ve come unstuckVisions of a safe havenIs this my brain getting even?Tricks wrapped in memoriesNot sure if its real or make believeRaised hand toContinue reading “Descending”

Axis

Idyllic temperate mysteryWoven along the time to beCorrupted glare to the bendLeaving it up to pretendWith a handful of seedNothing will build a new breedDisease has lit the eternal flameBeginning of the latest gameA descent into the deepest darkPeriod of how to miss the markOpting for a steep declineClaiming everything is finePit of thorns bathedContinue reading “Axis”

Material

Why are we still on the wheel?It gives us no time to feelOne false move and you tripAfter that it’s difficult to gripSo why don’t we just pauseTake a moment to review the clauseCause none of us signed a contractThat is nothing but a fact Convinced ourselves we need moreWhat a drastic kind of flawAsContinue reading “Material”

Not Meant To Be

You say oneI’ll say twoBut if say threeI’ll simply fleeCause this is not the happy hallsRuptures have forged the fallsBlowing at the static spiresThe ones from which you conspiredInformation overloadSearching for another modeUniform state of pauseThis has began the causeOf warring over empty wordsNeither of us will be heardGuilt across every laneA duo wrapped inContinue reading “Not Meant To Be”

Tears Of Blood

Tears of bloodThey’re back againLeft in mudStill the victim I watched and said nothingA coward ’til completionMissing the mark everytimeYou feel betrayal rise and sendAs you slip down the hillLeft to wallow in the gutterReturn of pure disaster Tears of bloodThey’re back againLeft in mudStill the victim Judgment passed without a causeAttacks come from everyContinue reading “Tears Of Blood”

Frown

Downtrodden,Have I been forgotten?Obsolete,Makes me feel so weak Truth is I’m just a small little antAnd this conversation might spark a rantPeople screaming about how I don’t matterIn all fairness they have a point to their chatterAfter all we are billions strongSo who cares about a single one? Downtrodden,Have I been forgotten?Obsolete,Makes me feel soContinue reading “Frown”

Horror Story

Waiting for the phone to ringWhen I hear a sound go pingPiques my interest and I need to seeWhat it was that made that sound todayWas it just in my head?Not something I would have saidThere is a chance I have gone madIf that’s true that would be badBut a feeling tells me noNot sureContinue reading “Horror Story”

Turned Around

Return from disasterWant to be masterWon’t bend a kneeToo busy with the spreeSwirling funnel of leavesRazored to make you bleedBartered away the soulAll for a dose of controlPatchwork like the heavensProcessed into confessionsJekyll without a HydeReady to consume prideUntil the roads divergeThen comes the herdsCrushing the only goalA plan left unwholeWeaving through the fightYelling linesContinue reading “Turned Around”

After So Long

I’ll carve my way through the treesNot prepared to just leaveBuilt my home upon these shoresWhy I won’t give up the cause Washed my hands and now they’re cleanIf you want peace then do it away from me I’ll chop down the rot withinIgnore the hate givenStand firm against the stormWait until its passed onContinue reading “After So Long”
