Coalesing, crashing, a creshendo of thought,
Dipping, diving and delving into the recesses
Of My Mind...
Turning, churning and smothering Me with
Its strength and force of storm.
While I flouder, fluster and fumble
with My Own.
Weary Spirit
I pull myself on
Against the constant drag of my soul.
Wishing for a peace that cannot be,
I stumble,
Fall.
And rise again with more determination,
Unable to stay still.
Unable to stop.
I have become tired of this game,
Of it’s stupid rules
And silly lies,
Of the promise of something better,
Just round the corner
Waiting for me.
I pull my spirit with me,
My tired, old, spirit.
Telling myself
“Soon. Soon it will change, another will come,
To share the burden,
To make things better…”
But I travel on,
Round the corner,
To see just another corner in the distance.
And I am still alone,
And oh so tired.
Still I stumble on.
The Fire Of Anger
Flames burn,
Roiling, Churning, Engulfing all,
Trying to destroy the barriers set up to stop them.
Words fuel the fires till all I can see is the dancing
Of red tendrils in front of my eyes.
Angry thoughts eager to be said
Storm down towards my tongue.
I bite them back
Before more damage is done,
And push the flames back
To simmer and extinguish.
In time,
The flames will return
And the fight will begin anew.
But for now
I have won.
And I can keep my silence,
While the words carry on.
A Storm Of Dreams
The storm comes.
Spreading the rain,
And each drop is a dream.
Each dream shatters,
And is lost
As it hits the ground –
The concrete of reality.
The broken dreams cascade,
In a flowing torrent
Down the drains.
Leaving behinds just a memory.
A dream.
Of the storm.
The Evil Within
There is a place deep inside
where the darkness grows,
Where demons long forgotten
dance and play.
Where pain and suffering
hang from the twisted trees like corrupt piñatas,
Waiting to be smashed and release the disturbing memories within.
And in this dark wonderland of misery,
My mind lingers
like a lonely child
playing with needles and pins.
Oblivious to the wounds it suffers,
Or the self-inflicted torture it endures.
For it cannot comprehend,
Nor escape,
The terrifying reality that is;
The Evil within.
