Something is smoldering below these drying eyes.
The wind picks up and sound, with leaves and death,
Is carried far beyond my outstretched hands.
I cling to this the way I've clung to you for years.
Before the veil was fully burnt I learned of simple things.
The way to your heart was a minefield.
Despite the weight increasing I can see the emptiness within my arms.
So to are all the things I spoke to no one on that day.
So to the bags of mirth left dying in the bed.
In absence of the sun's golden red rays I am undrenched.
Welcome
Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)
