Mark Matthews Poet Bio

Taking the Reins

Valkyrie wings
kiss the air
as my Heroin
takes leave
     of this dismal
and sulfuric atmosphere.
Once again 
she has pulled me
to the surface
     (the place I dread)
promising me
        "I don't know"
                 as always,
leaving my brain in Limbo
    (once again)
and my body
to wander my realm
    happenstancely.
But as a frenzy
of emotions
rush in to fill 
my emptiness of thought,
raging like
a storm ridden ocean
crashing against
jagged towering cliffs,
I take hold 
  of the reins
and head
into the thick of it all,
where my castle once stood.

It's time to rebuild
and nothing's going to stop me.
