Steady and mournfully Along the cold and wet cobble stones Streams of black Stagger and hobble With melodic farewells Permeating into the morning mists Before the slow creeping chariot The bereaved march In uniformed precision As wailing voices rise and fall Some shrill, some faint Some shroud with iron sorrow Beneath the solemn toll Of…

A host of erratic concerns Pace the contours Of a troubled mind Swerving footsteps Unravel the peace withheld Gifts given from loving strangers Stolen in the chaos of bottomless thought The pestering itch of why Rests defiantly in the small of his back Anchored deep beneath his skin Stern for his long Meandering, degenerate life…

Composure perishes While the steam of sorrow Scales the wind I find myself Enclosed by troublesome refuge Confined to my own fits of heartache Carelessly marooned Atop boundless treachery Self-deception is my heinous crime Self-delusion has wrung me dry I strive to replenish The waters that sustain me Only to spoil them once again With…

He grew weary From more of the same As misfortune carries him With a serenade of shame Enthralled by squandered youth Was his daily curse and dismay Set fire to his distant yearnings While his present, tatters and frays The oaks of old Still retain forgotten delights Tall and vast as they’ve always been Ever…
