Poem – Page 95 – Simon A Jackson

Self

I walked the streets I called by homeBut all I did was truly roamWithout a cause or a hopeI pleaded until I could not cope Finding nothing as I grieveThis world is just as lost as meLying about who I really amThis mask could not disguise the sham Buried in a grave I cast asideThisContinue reading “Self”

Night

Is the darkness what you really fear?As the sun drops below to disappearThe night sky blooms like deathPinpricks burst from nothingnessScattered across the inky blackAre you scared the sun won’t be coming back?As the moon sails across the voidShadows are all you should avoidBeauty in the dark of nightShouldn’t let it give you frightCast wideContinue reading “Night”

Ashen Trees

Trapped on a feeling that leaves you reelingWhere are the crows that define your meaning? As thorns of red dive deeper into the oceanSeas begin to start to boil with feeling Last among the endless ashen treesShattered realities breed only disease The sutble stab of who you should beWill you ever get to grip thatContinue reading “Ashen Trees”

From Present To Past

Humanity will fade awaySwallowed by its entropyBecause we couldn’t stay togetherInstead we fractured unlike weatherTorn apart instead of stayed strongOh what a tragic wrongSo soon we will just rot awayLost to times natural decaySo much promise that we did sullyIf only we would have tried more fullyBut that was never on the cardsIs what wouldContinue reading “From Present To Past”

Money Hungry

You thirst for moneyYou’re consumed by greedRub your hands togetherIgnore mortalityStart the economy to watch it failA second wave will then prevailBut you just want to count the cashDon’t give a damn about the massWe can all go lie in an enormous graveWhat a blinkered view you wish to paveEven your lies can’t hide theContinue reading “Money Hungry”

Pact

Cutting so deep you see nothing but voidAs the city sleeps you dream of joyA rapture of memory will open its wingsNow prepare for the change that comes from within Will you ever focus on what you believe?A glance to the sky will aid in nothingSo you bark platitudes as all do descendPreparing for theContinue reading “Pact”

Iced Over

The frost crawls across your heartNever will you admit your darkCold to your very coreAs you murder and abhor Skin like ice that burns to touchYou became the murderousShattering hearts as you passFatal attraction killing fast Ice blue eyes that pierce throughWhatever happened to the real youTurned your back and becameAn icy figure of hateContinue reading “Iced Over”

Empty Words

Hey everyone! I don’t usually post on a Thursday or introduce poems that I post for that matter. But on this occasion I am as I wrote this and felt that it was appropriate to post sooner rather than later due to its content. Also this is the first of two posts today. Your systemContinue reading “Empty Words”

The Title Holds Weight

And here is the second post of the day! Devil is in the detailBut you haven’t set the scaleMoving past the tipping pointYou haven’t offered one clear thoughtSpouting words that contradictEveryone is so so sickNow hurry up and say somethingBefore an end is what you bringWe can’t listen to the callsYou ran away to hideContinue reading “The Title Holds Weight”

Abandoned

Returning home after all these yearsI expected more than endless tearsA street that once was homeNow just shells and vacant roadsYou’d think that war took this placeIn reality it was left to fadeIts even worse than when I left beforeMy feeling are an open soreI came back and there is only shameShopping malls with lockedContinue reading “Abandoned”
