Lost (Remove filter)
By Pessall Brook
The remnants of a myth
torn like sodden paper
A worker in the world of words
now where are your opus lines
where does your gilded poetry reside
A hooded figure
cloaked by Pessall Brook
looking for lighthouses
searching for the sea
O, how did you go
this far wrong?
Show me your pages

your songs of tides
and ships to far away islands
Thunder clapping above

Flowers of Misfortune
In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,

Now cold and dark
No warmth and no spark
I travel around in the void
Wondering round like a lost boy
And although I am able
Fully trained yet maimed and unstable
A ghostly belonging
Of betrayal ...

I think this is denial
My father asks me if i am lonely
I cannot bring myself to tell him
that I always have been.

Father, I know that what I had with ...
