Chapbook Submissions I: Love And Death
by
Andrew Barham
(L.A.B.)
Cry not
for old men
who took pen in hand
their lot
indeed, sin
is to enrich the land
bones rot
beneath fen
time is a quick sand
Meters
break my bones
like sticks and stones
Foreign
to my soul
I’m dyslexic
SunKu
poetic style
I will master
Confronted my demon
It’s been a while
There is a familiarity
ghosted in his smile
And so it begins
“Hello baby,
how you been?”
Here we are again
“If you had only
Done things my way
But you are the one
That went astray”
“It wasn’t me
Said those nasty things
It wasn’t me,
Taking your wings”
Lost in emotion
The conflict is real
I’m dancing with the devil
He’s trying to deal
Just words
lost to time
like leaves on the wind
Just words
turned to dust
on aging paper
Yet words
often live
for eternity
Summer
soon turns
into winter's dream
Gentle
breeze kisses
dewy petals
Hot breath
awakens
frozen desires
Weary
and long days
chaos abounds
choked thoughts
cuffed in words
behind war bars
How could
poetry
be even versed.
winter
nothing left
from my garden
only
it is not
how I see it
wet stones
remember
green abundance
I wait
Sitting here
Clothed in shade.
Wine flows
A soft voice
Enjoying now.
Loving
Memories glow
The past eclipsed..
Hold me
I may fall
Could it be love?
Forget
Those that fail
Look in my eyes
Inside
I am whole
Please fly with me
