Here are a few poems I have selected that I wrote on various dates...
1. Storm Signal
Stood aloft...
Mourning the sun's displacement in the sky
The ember that sparked a release from the dawn
Erupts in a cauldron of spite
Weary visitors from the west
Emerge in front of the hallowed clouds
The souls of the lost,
And the pride of the fallen
Thunderous gales mark blood upon this land
Stained eyes of discontent
Peer through the deep canvas of blue
And shower their victims
With masses of fire, and tears
So stands alone
A mirrored image of it's foes,
A distorted carcass to which none can find
The solitary original,
And last of it's kind
2. Flight Of The Abandoned
“Rise”…whispered the shadows
As the darkness bared a secret of life
Out of death, a new hope was restored
The precious gift of light
Manifested in the form of a dove
It flew just before dawn
Effervescent suns sparkle their life onto the tree tops
And give protection to all who dwell there
The new born dove surveys the land in which it concurred
Spread its wings, and flew into the scarlet heavens
Singing in rejoice to at last being set free
Free of the chains that condemned its soul to everlasting torture
The sound bellowed through the streams, and rivers
And fell upon the lush water meadow with elation
Feeding the lost souls with new means of exhilaration
Falling downward, spiraling into alcoves of fire and destruction
Entering this realm of lies, and deception
Crying into the night, captured by the growing darkness
The light has faded
Its wings have been cut
Sitting there, forgotten and foreboding
The dove lay, struck down among the willows
Blood spewing into the Earth
Returned to its majestic creator
Marked eternally…by this curse
3. The Man And The Journey
“The Man”
Abandoned...on the verge of extinction
Left to rot in my own imprisonment
Slowly...steadily fade away
To a faint glimmer
Of whom I used to believe in
Found you there
In sudden enchantment
The light ignited within my eyes
Lost you there
In a moment of truth
The flame coursing through my heart, at last dies
“The Journey”
When the storm implodes
Thick masses of doubt blinding your sight
Severing the remnants of your pride
Do not slip once more, find strength inside yourself
Walk on with hope in your heart
Confide with implicity
Reveal your self-preservation has grown
You made it through the impossible
You will never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
