Poem – Page 71 – Simon A Jackson

Hex

Fashioned from the bones of crowDo you really want me to go?Then just say the wordsBefore the return of the birdsSelfish lie is how you like to cryAnother person with a false goodbyeJust angling for a goalReady to shovel out the coalPity you never thought to lookInstead you just mistook…Compassion for weaknessBetrayed the new fetusWoveContinue reading “Hex”

Samurai

Silent as the windThen you feel the stingBite of the bladeCold and hand-madeFashioned from pure oreExploiting a fatal flawLook you in the eyeAs you fade and dieFighter to the endA code I will not bendCan’t tempt with a bribeI’d rather give my lifeWhile I face you head onWarrior ’til I’m doneProtecting everyoneThrough night and sunHonourContinue reading “Samurai”

Back To Back

Whatever trouble you’re in, know that I’m comingYou won’t face it alone, don’t tell me to go homeCause if we need to fight, I’ll be right thereNot lending a hand, just wouldn’t be fairNow fill me in, on whats going downNo need to worry, I always frownYou know that so, don’t you dare ditherDetails areContinue reading “Back To Back”

Out The Door

You can scale mountains and cut down trees,But as you skipped out you’re just a diseaseDon’t warrant a single solitary thought,Because all that you did was just abortRun out the door when you were needed most,What kind of person doesn’t see that’s grossOr were you too busy chasing other tail,To realise that you’d been handedContinue reading “Out The Door”

Youth

Staring up at the sunWanting back the days of funA time when there wasn’t a careJust long periods of being thereA fair mind in an open fieldNothing forcing you to shieldPassing time as you wishedThose are periods to be missedNot petty squabbles spouting poisonSuch things are born from poor decisionInstead you meandered through the dayChantingContinue reading “Youth”

Exotic

Hi! I don’t usually do introductions to poetry posts, but this one is different. It’s a tribute to my favourite game, Destiny. And in this I used the name of some of the exotic weapons from the game and made a poem out of them. Some work better than others, but think it turned outContinue reading “Exotic”

Here Is Luck

Wish upon a falling starBe who you really areIgnore what will never fitThere’s no point in bothering with itSo focus on what is bestDon’t listen to what they say is nextA test is just a little thingYou are so much more than them Rub on a rabbits footNew great plan will be putOut into theContinue reading “Here Is Luck”

Possibilities Of A Future

You think that it’s overIt’s only just begunWhat we have hereIs the start of somethingA thread that needs pullingA road to walk downNo point in ignoringOr you won’t get your crown Tortoise against the hareIt’s not that clear cutDon’t place your bet yetOr you might screw your luckCause some things are differentEspecially when assumedThat theContinue reading “Possibilities Of A Future”

No More Games

I’m not letting you inYou’ll have to start againNo time for anythingThat you want to lie aboutHere and now to spoutSuch a failed attemptI’m going do it for myself So if you want a handThen do it like a friendDon’t try and bite the handCause if you do I’ll stopAnd you can simply dropThen fadeContinue reading “No More Games”

Devout

You’re as fickle as the cloudsAs you vanish among by crowdsWhile I am left simply bowedI hear the calls screamed aloudWondering if you feel proudWhile I’m sick of being disavowedWill my presence ever be allowed?I would never call you dowdAny who dare would be disallowedThough I know you’d make them feel cowedWhile still behind thatContinue reading “Devout”
