Letters To A Young Poet

Lies behind the eyes

May 16, 1992 — Filed under: mypoems

Lies behind the eyes fall behind minds that hide In darkened halls our canes are hung Where are the men in white The one who saves the day They are now made of money And rarely ever save the crying child Decisions are delivered in code Never mind the world It’s gone mad! Do all minds think alike No Critics every where In my closet Behind the glass Judgment day has come and we are guilty and being punished right now under the spotlight in the corner with the rest of the freaks Wishing for a better tomorrow Only to look toward the stars Basking in our own urine

Casting shadows

April 16, 1992 — Filed under: mypoems

Casting shadows into the room Flickering in and out The soft glow emerging from the key hole Wooden shoes walk to a chair So stiff, strait backed and calling for a passenger No woman has taken such a ride as this Nor a man Far out The stairs will hang Just one day after judgment day Preceding this moment Not a second before For out this stone castle Beyond the gate The sun flies with no strings attached And sets on a whim Creation, desolation, and restoration Blow out the flame.

To prosper

To prosper To conquer To destroy Before the witness answers I will ask, where is the end! … It lies beyond our grasp In hell And below us There is no understanding needed If you understand you haven’t got a clue The answer for your race is live without a future See only the present These questions show no inelegance!

Fear

February 16, 1992 — Filed under: mypoems

Fear Caution as pain cresses my heart The sorrow drips from the eyes For now is the time of ending The time of the never ending night Finding the season The truth in what is and what could be Never Never again will this pain enter these eyes Filled with disaster with no end in sight Through time Endless and wanting I shall exist

Castles of knowledge

Castles of knowledge Constructed of stone Protect me from Ignorance
