POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have written and published poetry for a few years now. I do even though I am dyslexic, never stopped me. I use the written word to rid myself of negative feelings about my past. It helps!

The Righteous Oak
The Righteous Oak
The Righteous oak stands strong and tall,
No storm or tempest that may blow
Would wrench it from its roots below.
Life can throw whatever it wants
That oak throws of all its taunts.
The winds may blow it to and fro
And leaves adorn may come and go.
Though it stands upon a rock,
Fixed firmly, nothing can shock.
But storms of life has! took its toll
Battered relentlessly against the tide
Its weary limbs lie bare and cold
No crown of glory, truth be told.
This Righteous oak no more...

But storms of life has! took its toll
Battered relentlessly against the tide
Its weary limbs lie bare and cold
No crown of glory, truth be told.
This Righteous oak no more...

f**k!
They tell me I'm to blame for all the ills that befall us all!!!
This deep inner rage, that in silence, shred's every part of me,
A bleeding heart full of anger,
This inner drumming in my brain is slowly driving me insane,
YET! Do I have to be me? Whatever that would ever likely to be?
Put on a show be brave! Big boys don't cry! And all that crap,
Yet! Each sound of my heartbeat attempts,
To hold it back, the floodgates of tears in case I should,
But no!
It's not to be!
Because I am just me!
So what! The tears that come,
So what!...

The Canvas of my Life
The canvas of life lies bare,
In that split second I stare,
Hoping upon hope,
That something is there.
No matter how I stare,
Canvas! my life lies bare,
Threads began to frae,
Lifeless as they lay.
Madness and anger reigns,
Exploding rage in my veins
Lights flashing before my eyes,
There are no tears for me to cry.
Body aches from head to toe,
Numbing fears about to sow,
This body full of woes,
Lies still, mind seeking, low.
Really! is this all there is?
A life! Then just a fizz! ...
