very rough draft from my next book

When Angels Bleed

How can you sleep
When in your youth
You made angels bleed
More often than not

To look in the mirror
Is a frightening sight
Your eyes remain the same
Everything else is a distant memory

Of days and years gone
Except in the middle of the night
When the haunting souls of Angels
Come...

how is everyone ? I will post some poems later this weekend

very rough draft poem for my 5th book of poems


Reader

The seconds loom
With the doom of days
Where art thou
I have waited

Like Romeo
Yet you do not appear
Is it my scars
That scare you

I feel as though
You have forsaken me
Perhaps for another
I know or even trained

Now I wait for you
On your balcony
Imaging your...

Schools out

I am a predators predator
And you now know it
The look on your face shows it
Like finding a great white shark in a bathtub

You have never seen me
Only heard the rumors

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

Salvation I seek
From a God
I abandoned
In a desert

What seems
Like
Fifteen
Life times ago

In choosing life

Without a second thought
Running from him

To save my own
Joining Lucifers army
Rising thought the ranks
I was field commissioned

Wondering
In a wasteland
While I wasted
My youth

Now as a retired general...

a man bravery I knew not, saved my life at the cost of his own - each breath I have taken since then I can trace back to that night.

Lchaim

We may rise
A glass together
Toasting to the
Recklessness of our youth

The bourbon helps
Make it all so clear
As I have not seen
You in years

I drink yours and mine
When we get together the third day of each year
Daily your memory haunts me
Motivating me through guilt

Why did you
Do it
Why would you choice
Your own...

very rough draft

When Angels Bleed

How can you sleep
When in your youth
You made angels bleed
More often than not

To look in the mirror
Is a freighting sight
Your eyes remain the same
Everything else is a distant memory

Of days and years gone
Except in the middle of the night
When the haunting souls of Angels
Come to visit as they...
