Short Hannen Poems

Wonder

By Nathan Hannen

The stars they shine, They twinkle, They align
The season's give, They leave, They forgive...

The Fight

By Nathan Hannen

Here I am standing alone, My fist was bloody and raw
A beaten man, No more, That day I finally saw

The End....

Lights Out

By Nathan Hannen

Shadows creep and time ticks
Babies weep and clockwork clicks
Night turns to day, Onward marching

The End....

If

By Nathan Hannen

If I could be just for you I would
If you said yes I know we could
The question remains what If we should

The End....

Where

By Nathan Hannen

In another time, Or even another place, Snow fell eternally
Where children played inside their parents fraternally

The End...

The One I Used To Know

By Nathan Hannen

After my heart shattered my love leaked into another
You left me cold and sad, Stranded in myself

The End....

Winding Road

By Nathan Hannen

A winding road of many ways
You come to walk it on many days
As you walk your mind is at ease
Just you and your thoughts and the gentle breeze

The End....

Plectrum

By Nathan Hannen

My sides hurt, And my teeth erode
I am struck and slid, My duty to explode
For a rhythm of power, And pain, Implode
If life is a tune, I am the beat
Expire too soon, When the crowd leave

The End....

For The Sea

By Nathan Hannen

There is a sea called joy and light, You let me know Im wrong and right
You live by this ocean of my thoughts, By the abacus bay with rows of noughts
Laughter heard, And laughter said, You are the thoughts in my head

The End....

Lightning Strikes

By Nathan Hannen

The grey milky sky looked at the earth so far away
Looking down, The sky presented an array of energy turning night into day
The flashing was majesty to a melodic crushing beat
Around earth a psychedelic display, vehement in its intent, A palpitating heat

The End....

Sporadic

By Nathan Hannen

In a place in time there were sporadic thoughts, An incorporation of psychedelic 
colors
Deep within this majestically powerful place, A thought resided, Oblivion weathered 
its membrane
Looking into the magnificent core, It focused on me, Only mortal I caught its stare

The End....

Fragmented

By Nathan Hannen

In this gentle dream I glide through sleepy air
On through what is right and the devils lair

With no realization of time as a constant amount
The idea of reasoning, Paramount
Paralysed by the inability to see straight through black
Beautifully protected though in visions of attack
I wake

The End....

Greed

By Nathan Hannen

Remember a forgotten thought, Or forget an inspirational idea, And yes, Such is life

Take more than could ever be produced in this greed ridden place, You have the 
equation of normality

People are tools to the workmanship of an appreciation of unrelenting self gain

An obesity of the values we have cannot hurt true, Only greed can repay what we 
have lost

The End....

Touches Me

By Nathan Hannen

I have tried to reach her, But I can't grasp her flailing hand
The continuation of music from the unseen band
The contrast between desert, Sea, And rock, And land
Or those things that touch you, Unforseen and unplanned

A miracle in time, But I can't see her face
Shadowy doubts leap and bound, And leave no trace
The difference is the same, But no winner in this race
I can't see you in my heart, In this confusing place

The End...

Paths

By Nathan Hannen

I have encountered many lovely people on the winding path of my life
At emotional intersections, On verges of my sadness, And the crossroads of strife
The traffic of my thoughts brings here nor there an illusion of despair
Many hearts unable to carry on, All broke down with their own cross to bear
At last my great journey meets the crossroads in all directions
My confused travel hindered, Like my want of love and its perception

The End....

Standing fearlessly beneath the sky.
A haven for creatures that fly.

The beauty of your many outstretched limbs
paint such wondrous pictures
in the subtle landscape.

Fires will destroy you so.
I would rather see
your natural state,
so free,
magnificent.

Strength and beauty so.
Climbing frames to the heavens.
Protectors and spies.
