BIPOLAR HELL (A glimpse into uncontrolled symptoms)

(This poem is about how my bi-polar symptoms affected me before my doctors and I found the proper treatment for myself.) Tearing my heart out my chest, I look down into my hand, Beating heart, throbbing in time with my rage, Taking it out on myself, Raging in my thoughts, Destroying self, to be numb,…

UNGODLY SWAMP

Look at us, Drenched, wet to the bone, Hair hanging, witches dew, Smelling like the old hags brew, No bus, taxi, To take us out of this ungodly swamp, Lost to the world, Deep down country roads, Asphalt and lights far behind, Now deep in no mans land, Don’t let the hag catch us, Her…

Bonfire

Fire, live, passionate flames lit in ecstasy / Crackling sparks flinging themselves into orbit / Dancing, full of life, light orbs / Filling night air with fire light / Marshmallows and feet, warming / Filling bellies, and cracked ale, at lively parties / Music rocking night sky, as orbs dance and swirl by / Hands…

PRAISE

Tree’s swaying in Southernly breeze, Waving their arms in worship to He, Warm air swirling around worshipping arms, Swaying here and there glorifying He, Amazing sounds, crick, crack, crackle, As arms wave about for Him, Embracing love and life, Singing their Earthly hymns, Oh Lord above shine down your glorious light, Better and more substantial…

WAKE UP, SUN

Star filled night, Encapsulate me in your dull glow Fill me with enticipation For the suns morning blow When light fills the air Glittering off morning dew Filling the breeze with your sweet delight Casting off light Shedding your star filled blanket To visit us Departing your life giving light

MILK CHOCOLATE

With bitter sweet sorrow How I hate to say goodbye Your creaminess shall be missed You piece of milk chocolate bliss

Swift and wise is the old Barn Owl Sought after for wisdom and encouragement Her blessings are treasured And stored in the heavens As she seeks the ultimate wisdom From the oldest owl Her talons sharpened by hundreds of kills Her beak a deadly dagger Her powerful wings crash with might And a powerful hoot…

PREDATOR

Dark dusk fades to black night Owls stalk mighty mice Swords buckle, noses twitch with fright Talons strike… slice… dice… Black night fades to dawns early light Mighty mice sigh in the morning’s peace

PRIVELEGE

No where left to turn, This world is inside out, Now we fight one another, Trying to decide, Who has it better than each other, We’d rather the world burn, Than put out, The fire that burns down our, lives and keep us divided, Down racial and monetary lines, No longer do we return kind…

ANXIETY 2

Worry is such a harsh master, It saddles anxiety and rides it hard, What little control worry offers, Yet I’m always quick to worry, Letting it wreck my soul And carve its way into my mind, Taking over and carrying me on a journey, Often with crashing into walls of blank anxiety.
