Long Greave Poems

I know I'm holding the pen right now
A clean white page between my hands
Getting darker and darker
Every time the pen runs into it
What I don’t know
Is whether the...

How often does it come to call?
How often does the sea breeze spray?
How often will she fall?
How many times will he ask her to stay?
Then tell her that she is to leave,
How many times will...

We lived in a crooked house.
Built on a muddy mound of hope with the corpse of yesterday half buried beneath
Sad eyes and smiley faces. A gilded countenance to pair the four walled fiction – Painted...

He came into the world, the usual way,
Kind of small and unusual they said,
Little did they know how wrong they could be? 

A heart as strong as a lion has he,
With will to match, the...

The public turned out 
Ballots were counted
And the results read out  

Surely that’s it
That’s how democracy works 
Whether you like it or not
The will of the majority wins out?

But those who love money 
Don’t...

Black is the dawn 
Sunset is the light
I’m lost and withdrawn
But you’re never out of sight
The sea is all dry
And the desert is wet
But time spent with you makes me always forget

This world is upside...

I grew up climbing mountains
Walking against the current
Always looking for a meaning for home 
My mind keeps throwing at me those thoughts like painful rocks
Trying to find answers for questions larger then the capacity of...

I heard of lands both far and near
where wealth beyond tale can conceive. 
With rivers deep and mountains sheer
for the brave to challenge and reave.
I heard of them and I believe
this call that moves me...

Real life or cartoon?
God's image or baboon?
Truth or fiction?
His voice or intuition?
It's true and really happened?
On His Word can we depend?

The story of our life
With peace and an afterlife
Is not a fairy tale
But as certain...

My Barn, my Warehouse, Storehouse is fulfilled 
A building of raw materials
A glass mirror to reflect a clear image

Greave in the pain that I bring as my hears pounds
Limbs of a mantis as they strip in america's glory
Scream into your ear can hear...

How can we
kiss another
but
love each other.
How can we
laugh
with another
but
cry for each other.

You are the noose around my neck.
I should stop thinking...

What did i do,
To deserve all this?
The pain, the fear,
Caused by my miss.

What did i do,
To cause distress?
Wanting to die,
Due to my mistress.

What did i do,
To make her blame?
For all i've done,
Gone up in a...

Five o'clock it is
gray sky slowly turning heavier than this
one by one
the birds fly they too are done
and by the dance of the greave
i take its time i take my leave.

Another day bout to make...

Defend Thy Bonus!
(For Boris and Those City Boys of London)

“They’ll leave! They’ll leave!” 
He cried, with a look of sheer panic 
In those innocent blue eyes
“And ‘The City’ will be poorer without them....!” (he lied).

“Let...

We're running late, and we have to leave.
"Come on" my mother yells as she's stressing more than I.
While in a rush I hit my shin and feel I need to greave.
I see my dog wag...
