Present

They say today is a gift,
I whisper in my head, please make it swift,
My feet feel heavy like lead,
With every step I take.

I try to remember the good,
But no matter what I do, 
It feels like I’m fading,
Losing what once sustained me.

The feelings rise, then disappear,
Everything that lifts my mood,
Slips through my hands.
I pray to the lord-
Please, let me go.

Everything feels like a lie,
A world ruled by the snake.
There is only one place i long for,
The stars above,
A place with no more tears,
No more pain.

But they say today is a gift.
So here I am.

Ahab: King of Bones

A peasant on the land,
A king on the sea,
He sits in command,
And everyone will agree,
He has something planned,
For everyone, whatever it may be.

Not a king with a throne,
But a king of bone,
A man with an obsession,
Some say possession,
But a king of bone, nonetheless.
