Whisper
I hear the words you whisper, the things you dare not say. The things you take and hide inside, from the light of day. I say now it’s all okay, you should say them anyway. I know they are there, I am not blind. It will not keep me from being kind. The hidden glances, Continue reading

Holding it in.
What do I do? What do I say. Will anything keep these thoughts at bay? Through my mind they laugh and play, Keeping me in despair all day. I want to speak, to say my piece. To keep things the way they used to be. But that ship has sailed, I watched it go. Straight Continue reading

Left Alone
The lies I speak for others to hear, Fall painfully upon my own ears. The stories I’ve told of my daily life, makes it seem I live carefree. But it’s not the case, I’m filled with stress. The thoughts and emotions burn within my chest. The tears flow behind eyes unseen. As I sit here Continue reading

I’m Okay
I bleed inside, behind a smile it hides. When any ask, I say I’m fine. Misery is my companion, I revel in her company. But anymore she’s all there is for me. I smile, I laugh, I keep everyone guessing. They look at me, and think I’m counting blessings. Yet the pain in my eyes, Continue reading

Regret
I regret the things I’ve said. Words that should have stayed inside instead. Things that spoken filled me with dread, for whatever way this path now lead. Yet unspoken words I regret even more. They cut much deeper wounds. Actions taken, or those left behind. Which is more cruel, will be known in time. So Continue reading

Boredom
Boredom takes a heavy toll On my mind and indeed my soul. Fills it with thoughts of the blackest hue For the darkness these things indeed woo. I sit here staring at the wall Wondering why things are this way Dreaming of wonders big and small. Dashing away in my mind to play. The shadows Continue reading

For a Ride
You took me for a ride. A wild one, rolling like the sea tide. I wish I’d stayed home locked inside. When you took me for a ride. You spoke words that made me glad. Things that shown in a mind always sad. You promised love and support. And I fell for the untruthful rapport. Continue reading

Out of my Mind
Why won’t you stay out of my mind. Why do I find you here all the time. I walked away to keep the dark thoughts at bay, Yet I find them with me still. I still hear the words, feel the harsh slaps. Still feel the pain across my back. It doesn’t take much to Continue reading

Tyr’s Day
The one handed God. The bravest of the brave. His courage is great, lives does he save. He feared not the wolf, who all others shunned. He patted his muzzle and brought him food. Knowing the end that was to come. He placed his hand, in the wolf’s maw, so that the chains could be Continue reading

I tried
I tried so hard to love you. To beg and plead for your affection. But you never spared me a place. Besides the hate you threw in advance. Yet when I would have enough. And towards the door I would walk. You beg and plead. Down on bended knee. I should have known better than Continue reading
About Me
A Simple man who dreams of being an Author one day. A lover of poems and stories of all types. A dreamer and a tale weaver in my spare time. What little I have as a father of three. Come sit by the fire, and let me spin my tales, let me speak my rhymes, and show you, a quite good time.
