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.)

POV

I have been staring out this same window
Been over 30 years now
The scenery beyond has gone through change after change
Just as the structure housing this pane

Something is peeling away inside
Away from the vision of those beyond
Behind the sill shadows are growing long
Just as the structure housing this pain

As awareness is revealed
So to the understanding of it's finiteness
Knowledge that this view will be extinguished
Blinds will be drawn
Lights will be cut within and beyond

Whether I run, arms open, to embrace my fate
Or I turn my back, deny the claim of time and ware
The outcome is the same
As rain runs down the glass
The window turns dark for all
