Welcome to My Poetry Site

I am but flesh and Bone

Be still my thumping heart
Before you burst straight through flesh and Bone
Upon hearing words your life you never expected to ever hear
Bringing life back to a heart once solid as a stone
Allowing blood to flow through your now coursing veins
That had all but ceased to circulate through
In this cold and Barren atmosphere where I've always had a fear
Living with just wasted on those like me who have never had a clue
 
What love was like Beyond
This Barren land in which we've lived
Should living be any way to describe
That which we have been doing
Encased in a cocoon of solid misery
Intent upon the dead reckoning course so long in pursuing

So question please when intending to send any hope
To those who have all but died inside while waiting for Redemption
Are often shriveled husks and once proud but misunderstood being
Who have lost any and all
True image of themselves
Loveless lives lost
In animated suspension

So careful now as you have started
Life
Coursing through my frame
No memory of what I should be
That I have never had
Beer reaches out to grab the arm
Setting off the silent alarm
That screams a warning to self Preserve
Or you will go stark raving mad
STARK.  RAVING.  MAD

But death cannot be far removed from this non-life refrain
So if my heart should burst this day to be shattered into dust
I should take the chance
Letting
Circumstance
Guide my weary steps
Taking the hand of you
Who is now reaching out
I give my all... All that I possess...
 ... I give you my trust
