Megan Maddox Poem
Love is like that of a human face
Love's eyes are continually searching through the bleak masses for affection,
attention, and stability from other eyes staring back through the vail of our worries.
When love's eyes are set on a certain destination they will stop at nothing to
make it their own or look at the world the same again.
Love's mouth is foolish and whispers sweet nothings into the stark air only to
have another feel the same as love does.
Love's tongue flicks words into the abyss, bringing a ray of light into the darkest
corners of our minds.
Love's ears pine to find the same words its own lips gives or any sign that we all
haven't lost that primordial feeling that two people can give one another with just
one glance.

Megan Maddox Poem
The oceans dark waves
Crash along the shore
Bringing whatever its drowned heart desires
To Mother's Catcher
The wind is blowing through our lives again
Not protected by the trees
Its cold fingers sweep across the landscape
we are no longer free
Our pockets have long been clean
Our men are wrapped in shrouded graves
Surrounded by monuments long dead
The wind is blowing again?
Can you hear the howls?
of those in Mother's Catcher...

Megan Maddox Poem
Can you hear the drumbeats
Gathering a sound
mixing blood and sand
Stolen form the ground
Broken men
Marching to the sea
eyes are empty
because there is nothing left to see
Mothers weep for mercy
for their boys to return home
To dance among the city lights
the only place they call their own
Vacant buildings
surrounded by trash
Children smash broken bottles
As brittle as yesterdays dreams
Praying for God's only wrath
So will you come with me
