Poem – Page 78 – Simon A Jackson

Patchwork

Impact on the subtle shameWhen did life become this pain?A tormented wisp of nothing more…Than a hand crushing your organ coreWhile a circle becomes the drainA quest for fame will drive you insaneSo remember what you wanted mostGive that up you morph to a ghost Hampered by what should have beenThe claw down the backContinue reading “Patchwork”

Endless Spiral

Heaven sent on the wings of the windThis whole world is yet to be binnedCrawling down the endless streetTo a place where the bones will meetNot a victim or a diseaseJust a pit within which stirs brutality Polarised by the weave of the goneA moment in time which was wrongHating all that came to beLikeContinue reading “Endless Spiral”

Cured

You grow like a cancerBut I have a chance hereTo shed you from my lifeAnd rise to a new height No point in cryingMy life is a prized thingSo now I am long goneTime for a new song Set up on fresh shoresRid of the old soresThe light is just greatAnd I won’t lose itContinue reading “Cured”

Written

Scratch the point against the pageScarring surface with memoriesThe soft flow of ink will comeLeaving a stain upon the run Engraved deep within its faceThe markings of our embraceNote it down but don’t give pauseFor this is what is the cause Then while its purpose will have changedNothing will take its beauty awayA shift inContinue reading “Written”

Haunt

I’m running and running I can’t take anymoreThis whole world has become but a boreFighting and killing what a strange way to liveIs there a way for me to forgive?When the time is short and my mind is numbI feel the demons continuing to comeWith an ice cold shiver going down my spineI want toContinue reading “Haunt”

Fruits Of Failure

Passion is coming down around youWill you hope or simply fail to?Question I always ask myselfIt’s so boring without health Treading down the paths of forgotten.Brokering all the lies rotten.Stuck between the empty rooms.Offered glimpses at the ever tombs.So let me lie down on the slab.Perfection for the nightly jab.Conclusions which will only fade.My timeContinue reading “Fruits Of Failure”

Summer Rain

The sound of the rainAs it comes down againRelentless in its patterA form of liquid matterCooling to the touchWill not get too muchJust a steady flowThat should never goSoothing to the earsCould listen for many yearsNever be a droneMakes me feel at homeSo listen to the soundAs it comes falling downBut be rest assuredIt isContinue reading “Summer Rain”

Sparkle

Smile, laugh, shout and screamMake each new day the best dreamIgnore the hatersThey just spread diseaseDo as you wish to make the life you pleaseThere is no right or wrong way to beJust stay true to yourself through it allNever barter away your pure coreIf people want to put you downCut them out while youContinue reading “Sparkle”

Consequences

You wanted more than your heart could takeAnd every soul around said: what a mistake But heed the warning you did notYou tell me now: is this all you got? Down in the depths of the deepest hellThat is a place where you won’t excelAll that resides is torture and painThe kind that will driveContinue reading “Consequences”

Fountain Of Youth

Fountain of youthDo you want the truth?Not a place of lifeSource of all strife The biggest lies that’s ever been told is how we don’t deserve to grow oldIt’s why we’ve searched for eons alone for a way to stop what will be painProblem is that it does exist but breeds a mind tainted notContinue reading “Fountain Of Youth”
