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.)

Good Night

Hold strong in the haven of your fortress
While the walls of the mortuary crumble
Withstand the proverbial bullshit
In a barrage of garbage distracting
From the actions of the ones acting
Attention drawn away like venom
From a snake bite
Square in the chest
But I stare at the brightly colored
Fingernails
Cardiac arrest will set in
As you watch the stars burn out
From the window in your stoney grey paradise
Despite the blood flooding your eyes
The grass is fresh cut and glows in the moonlight
Over the curdling screams
You appreciate the symphony of sympathy
From miles away
I call for help now realizing
But you are mesmerized by the
Curve of the road ahead
I lay unconscious but I make a great pillow
For your unaware head to rest on
While humming 'Fur Elise" till you fall asleep
