Don’t usually post on a Tuesday or say anything before a poem post, but I wrote this and thought seeing as it is pretty apt at the moment I would. Looking out from a window on highFeeling the need to shout and cryWhat has happened to the people?All of them seem so unequalStripping out whatContinue reading “Supply”

Fireworks
Launch them into the skyRocket races up real highThen it detonatesRevealing its coloured flakes A firework with its boomSpectacle as people go wooThen another fliesThis display goes for miles Lighting up the dark nightThe colours seem limitlessHoping it never endsBut everything does descend The sparks soon fizzle outUntil there is nothing leftThen the display isContinue reading “Fireworks”
Shark
You see the blood in the waterI see the black of your eyesYou aim straight for a targetI won’t watch as you take your prize You linger in the darkI see your outline, starkYou feed off the confusedI can’t take the violence that follows You smell fear in the airI hope you’re not theirYou comeContinue reading “Shark”
Passage
What is fear?What is love?Do you see the world above?Or are you stuck down belowWill you hope?Or don’t you knowAs the leaves fallAs the rains comeWill you just succumb?Pray for demonsPray for foolsPray that you never losePonder out your final daysBeg for time to go onRide the tideRide the wavesSettle for what you craveFor onceContinue reading “Passage”
Your Time
Spiral in an inverted plainCan you keep your mind serene?Clouds over a firey skyWith dreams of what could be Dancing in the dead nightParties are full of pure delightAs light rises beyondCan you still say you’re free? Another season in the canGrey hairs soon will comeWhere has the time goneSoon you’ll be another one WatchingContinue reading “Your Time”
Wage
Make the fires blazeAs you focus your gazeFor the soldiers do marchWith their shielded hearts A clatter of steelAs they march for the sealThe flags flying highWith a true sense of pride The battle soon comesFields of blood be doneA clash for the oilsBut go the victor the spoils With enemy are routAnd gallons ofContinue reading “Wage”
Open Road
When the skies are black and you feel lostWill you search at any cost?The road less travelled might ease the painWith rolling clouds and pouring rainA great distance gone but still not doneTraversing continents without an endingSleeping under stary skies of inky blackEmbers spit until daylight Eons pass but still you roamThe open road isContinue reading “Open Road”
Inertia
I look to the sky and I wonder whyThe fleeting lives are forgotten aboutWe push and we bare the painBut eventually there will be nothingSo small and fragile is lifeBut still we squander all it deals outChildren crying and fighting for airFood rots and we give no careGods are victims in our nightmareAs we clingContinue reading “Inertia”
Watcher
I walk the lands and sail the seasBut all I see is the same diseaseWar breeds hate which kills everybodySouls so lost they fade before me Calls of pain that never go awayBodies litter the streets each dayNo glimpse of hope to rise from decayWatch as civilization burns away With flames so high they touchContinue reading “Watcher”
End
Twisting strands of what could have beenThis life is but a balancing beamOne misstep and down you tumbleBroken neck for your trouble Wish upon a shooting starJust don’t expect it gets you farAs one wrong move begins to spiralSay goodbye to your survival Clasping hands for a futureDo you really want a sutureEmpty tones screamContinue reading “End”
