The pretentious prattlings of a piss poor poet
From nothing I came And to nothing will I return Between these an eternal agony of existing Bearing me onward Towards oblivion A nobody I was A nobody I will be Lost in this wilderness of being Reminding me always Of my failure Born nowhere I will die nowhere Alone along many paths have I stumbled Unguided, unknown Unwanted

Leave a CommentWhen I am here no longer
Grieve not for I am nothing
But if a memory of me comes unbidden
Haste you to that great oak
That has at times so gently guarded us
And spread its shady limbs above our souls
Then sit you down against that hoary wrinkled trunk
And view again those verdant fields
Where often dancing larks on wing set flight
And cautious deer do snuggle in swelling grass
And when winds warm whisper
Your ruddy cheek so tenderly kisses
Silent hold your remembrance of me within
And know that I am near
At last at peace beside you
And tear not that I am gone
When I am here no longer

Leave a CommentIn the cool evening air, I think of you. In the still light of day, I think of you. In my times of trial, I think of you. In the blackest night, I think of you. And when my time of freedom comes, I will love you. As I need you now.

Leave a CommentSo many dreams have died In my heart And now another Of you How much more heartache must I take Before I die? What new pains Must I learn Before the darkness? Let me retire from this life's race Defeated and forgotten Torment me not with stark remembrances Of what could not be Persecute not this weary soul With hateful voices

Leave a CommentFor the first time I see the blue sky, For the first time I hear the blackbird sing, For the first time I smell the scented roses, For the first time I feel the warm night air. How could I have been so blind? How could I have been so deaf? I have stumbled through life in darkness, Now you lead me to the light. No longer will I lie afraid at night, Afraid of the ghosts of my past. No longer will I shamefully submit, To those who have no power over me. For the first time I live, For the first time I need, For the first time I care, And for the first time I love.

Leave a CommentTomorrow brings another day Alone, world weary, without hope. My cares lie heavy, My thoughts in turmoil, torment me. Another day without you I suffer. My sorrow fills my aching heart. My cup of loneliness overflows. I call out your name, Silence answers me, It's repression surrounds me, Darkness enfolds me, In the distance a light I see, Could it be my salvation?
