Subsides Poems

Backwards

...The wind blasts from the sea, a paper cup falls down
I’m gazing at the sand beneath my feet
Why should I listen to these noises on the background

Weighing Up Bittersweet Goodbyes

...
Goodbye cuts the air
with an odd, misshapen lance-
too sharp to swallow
it lingers on ragged breath
it's aftertaste scalds the soul

It feeds like a beast
clawing at the heart's locked gate

Remedy Rhythms

...Remedy Rhythms 
Sometimes writers block 
Sunrises at dawn 
Sometimes secrets revealed 
Render revolver 
Rivers soothing recedes 
Reckoning subsides 
Rain randomly pouring 
Sometimes a hole in...

It never ends, does it

When Summer Lets Go

...Quote:  
“Nature's first green is gold, 
Her hardest hue to hold.

Mind the Step

...
Mind the step, 
see the crack 
that let's light in.
Take care,
tread in the prints,
of my foot sures and fells.
Hold my hand,
to pause-a-while,
to quell leap's surge.
Wait-a-while,
till t...

That voice increases, louder than before.
Unravelling temptations and taunting that sting
that I promised I wouldn’t do, I’ve tried other things.

Rage and Hatred

...
Raw, unfiltered anger, it’s all that I know. Constantly
Aggravated by worthless pieces of scum that I struggle
Getting off of my shoes. A nasty glare, a hostile retort,
Everything and anything c...

Trancefire

...Mystic dancer in the firelight,
spinning, swirling as her soul takes flight,
chasing spirits on an astral plane
and catching them to call by name.

Silly Little Blossom

Tiny sparrows cease to fly and seek shelter instead.
Shadows fade, the sun slinks away and disappears.
The gloomy day only increases all uncerta...
