Cold as night


Cold as night
murky waters
off a musty pier
I dream of home
where warm arms
greet my every wim
and love fills my belly
with all I can stomach

Cold as night
the chill slicing
the courage away
as time grinds down
my spirit

Cold as night
as headlights approach
hope flickers in the distance
beneath the underbelly of my bridge

Cold as night
another vulture picks
the bones of our walking dead
and retreats into transparency

Cold as night
I close my eyes
and wish myself  home

Alone

All while I wonder
and learn to live in the
shadow of my fears

My mama loves me
like they do on tv
she wouldn't leave me forever
she coming back
and I be home again

All the while I wonder
what is wrong with me
that so alone
I be

Love has the ability to set fire to the world
Always the hope
that today would be
different

That the stalling might end
and the truth be written across the sky

I am that which would break
free of the yolk and staff
leaning no more
on piety and good reputation

So strong the yearning that
dreams come while I wake

Alas this day like the one before finds me
still silent and forlorn

A love poem?

A love poem?

Who the

Please not another
God
Damned
Love Poem

While I grow old
My love lives like new
What say you to that?
