Walking aimlessly through crime filled,
city streets, a lost soul, wondering in
the dark, having no purpose in life, nor
a place to sleep.

alcoholic binges, trying to forget and

When the woollen industry died,
the reservoir that fed the old mill,
became disused.
The water meadow at its head
became a swamp.
Developers,
who want to build houses everywhere,
take one look at the quagmire,
sniff the stench fouled air, and walk...

A vociferous yowl came down to earth and slaughtered my soul
I was in deep sleep, lids were lead, and dreams were wavering spool
My problem sat on groove, heavy-hearted like slushy interference 
Passage of time was...

Dante's Inferno

An overcast sky blotches a caring Sun's sympathetic warmness, diffusing confidences of a blissful morn, 
Consolidates a desolate soul, filled only in despair of inflated apprehensive pupils,

To dwell among the ruins;
littered with broken bottles and flattened plastic cups,
stamped out cigarette butts
Cast off lottery binges,

feel so heavy,
Weighed down by an anchor
No one can physically see.
I'm expected to be okay
To live a normal life 
While dealing with a 
chemical imbalance,
An emotional disturbance 
Whose presenting symptoms are
Self destructive binges 
And manic...

Nicotine stained hands
yellowed with age
cracked fingers shaking
inhaling his last breaths
drinking bottles of cheap wine
hardship his only crime.

Sunken eyes gone misty
remembering a different life
from long ago
now a distant memory
numbing every trace
of their loving faces
from his pain...

His head was burrowed 
Deep within the sand.

Always sat...

Before my life was complete.

Of sick disoriented photos of pain.
And then you decided to toss...
