Been away for quite a while, due to matters in my personal life, however i'm back now, with a few more poems...please read and critique them if you want to...
To Nic
The lesser mortals sit and weep,
And long to pass away in sleep,
The pool of tears is far too deep,
But one day you’ll fly away
[Moment in time
Dark room, with the flicker of the screen,
Sound turned low, quiet whispers.
The faintest rustling of fabric,
Sliding arms about me,
Into warm seas of a comforting embrace.
Soft breath on my hair, my eyelids heavy with sleep,
You hold me as i sink deeper.
A moment shared, a moment remembered
War Child
The room is filled with mournful sighing,
Her only companions, the dead and the dying,
She covers her ears to drown out the crying,
But it still echoes in her head.
Along with explosions and machine gun fire,
She’s screaming and screaming as war rages higher,
she thinks that she lacks the courage required,
But it’s there deep in her heart
