Poems

I’ve been writing poems lately. Now I’ve got more… enjoy =)

Hotel Grey

The doors never open
at the hotel grey
tenants gave up hope and
lost their way
rustle and whisper
like bats in a tomb
writhe and blister
a tragedy in every room
at the hotel grey
souls don’t ever leave
time got away
before they could grieve

Grind, Whisper

The grind and the whisper
of another night gone wrong
awake cradling my swollen fears
that moan and pull at me
like the yawning black
stretching beyond the windows
of a long vacant house
you can scream that you love me
and pound your fists into my chest
but honey that fear of God
is a stong one by any measure
and the Devil’s always smiling
telling me whatever I want to hear
whatever it is that keeps me near

Cancer

First cigarettes, then coffee
stretch like a black cat in a window
just another day in the theatre of tragedy
you made of your life
collecting sad stories like lucky pennies
found on sidewalks
you knew that I knew what you did
but I never said anything, because
what we had was sweet on the outside
and sick in the middle
like a little girl with cancer
we were just dreaming anyway
naked, silent little dreams
