08/09 Focus

Let us be not of
Simple minds
But expand ourselves
To other worlds
Let us not
Confine our own lives
But instead focus on
The other times

07/09 Day At Work

Hunger
Insatiable
I just can't wait
To be out

06/09 Chair

Chair is there
Over there
In that corner
It sits
And waits
For a person
To take advantage of it
Sitting
Waiting
Or does it stand
Stand and wait
On four legs, one broken
Empty and
Lonely
Calling silently
Fill me
Fill me
Fill me

05/09 Working

Seek your serenity
This is an impossiblility
I'm a writer, poet, artist of words
How I got here - it's absurd
Failing in life is not my forte
Why won't these nightmares go away
The grimoires, the hatred, the scourges of death
They don't understand or respect a certain depth
Of valour, might, wisdom and wit
So I've been condemned to this grumpy pit

04/09 Take Me

Take me back
To the time
When we dined
On wine
And danced until
Our bodies were sore
Take me back
To the place
Where we found
Our disgrace
And sent feelings
Onto the floor
Take me back
To the room
Where we heard
The boom
And everyone died
So their hearts
Could soar

03/09 Why

Why
Why can't I
Keep up with you
Stick with you
Catch you
Why
Why can't I
Be the one
Have the one
Love the one
Of my dreams

02/09 Rain

Let the rain
Come again
Let it wash
Over me
Flittering away my
Indiscretions
My confessions
My preconceptions
I'm lost
In a dry heat
Starving and thirsty
All I need is
Refreshing rain
To wash me clean
Again
