Poetry Blogs (Joyous)

T'is tinsel time when midst the grime

Of muddied minds shines ...

What can it be?

Electro-lite silver, gilding

This tarnished life of strife?

Celebrating the survival of the fittest,

The feel good factor?

Forgetting for the festive moment

The fate that awaits?

Or, could it be

The eternal light of an eternal star?

Startling joyously

Faces, who wa...

Create the World

How does it look to go about the mountains at dawn?
To watch the sun smothering beneath a breathless sky,

And it's friendship,
The way birds may dangle broken l...

(I’d felt uncertainty).

Now, I feel as though I'm lost,
Lost in the despair of a fated dream,
Watching as the being sits, solid b...

Regret

Spin in your grave,

My god,

Oh, spin there where the moon does not shine!

Can’t you see the light seeping deep into your hollow home?

My god,

Comes again the ax of the wind into a tree m...
