You saw me weeping Down by the roadway, Clutching my heartstrings Wanting to feel again You went and showed me The light in my darkness While I was knowing I’d have to bury you. Sorry for taking So long to come back Your children are lovely And look at how tall you’ve grown. I’ll tellContinue reading “Immortal’s Lament”

Miles in the Dark
Alone in the world Naysayers abound “You are wrong” they say “You false prophet!” They spit and curse at you. “How DARE you question our god!!” If they only knew That their god was false Like the last one was.

The Throne
A poem I thought up today at work. Most of my ideas come when I’m active. This one is a kind of protest poem. Till next time!

I wake up And feel down. My heart sings While my soul burns And the fire-it feels good… I feel at peace When feeling uneasy I feel at one with myself But isolated from others. Life A strange kind Of dichotomy.
Rad Storm
The heat is spiking The Geiger’s going wild And the sky is moldy green Take your children Go inside Quickly!! A rad storm is coming. Radioactive lightning Winds that tear off rooftops Like a hurricane That gives people cancer A rad storm is coming! Get inside Or hurry! Hurry away!!!
