Poetry: Glass

March 27, 2018
Glass ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reflection doesn’t always Answer life’s questions; Glass, clear but empty, Sometimes clouds opinions. Awakened to the loss And hopelessness inside; I feel the pining of the pane To be shattered, left to hide. © 2017, Joe Jenkins

    December 16, 2017
    Away ~~~~ Shallow breaths fades into the darkness – Hidden away and almost napping; Muddled by the breeze through the bushes And the soft sounds of water lapping. Peering between the leaves, Musing the warm moonlight; Seeing steady ripples From the lakeside embankment’s height. A head trip to let...

  • Poem: 2 Years Gone
    December 16, 2017
    2 Years Gone ============== 2 years gone Since you left A life of pain 2 years gone Since parting; 2 years ago today. You are certainly missed; Your smile genuine and true -- It still hurts to think about it But we still love you. The days are still long And nights sometimes longer --…

  • Poem: Stone
    December 16, 2017
    Stone ~~~~ Torn from hinges of lament, A fasting of promises Leave my shadow Broken and bent.. Old times of frivolity And pastimes of folly; Now settled with open eyes Fixated on lolly. Sold are ambitions As soiled hands writhe -- Replaced by admissions To no God had tithed. Why the sorrowful smi...

  • Poetry: The Weakened Front
    August 31, 2011
    The Weakened Front ================== Cream puff eyes filled with happiness; Wavering, trembling from apparent madness. Stricken is the heart in flame, Blowing in the wind of blame. Simple bloodshed in the soul; Another life at end to toll. Through sanity's farce And summation of fear, Brings a s...

  • Poetry: Altered Prose
    January 10, 2008
    Altered Prose ====================== Dissolved like sugar In warm, southern tea -- The light shines dimmer Fading reflections of me. Under trees and pale sunshine, Countless failures mount -- Some sunshine bleeds through Brightening those failures for a count. Shivering from the cool breeze, Brea...

  • Poetry: Preceded
    June 26, 2007
    Preceeded. ======================== I have been preceeded. Things in life can be preceeded By happenings out of one's control. Factors unknowingly unfruitlful, Superficially replaced at a toll. Watching a man be torn down From the pedestal that 'twas once high, I've replaced my courage with falla...

  • Poetry: unfinished requiem
    February 14, 2007
    unfinished requiem ========================== Only a starscape -- Only the Best, Only a lifetime Can decipher the text. Some without purpose Most without angst -- A trance's only venture, Breathing life into the reigns. No summers, No flowers. No sunshine No rains. Why? The bother seems meek. Why...

  • Poem: Enigmatic
    January 5, 2007
    Enigmatic ================================== Shored. Life seems to ebb At the tide of existence -- Only to prolong guilt Over my shoddy sentence. Prescribed by me And faceless again; The nightfall is welcomed To release another demon. Floored. Belonging to the night, The stars look onward, shinin...

  • Poem: Centered
    December 27, 2006
    Centered ================================= I'd rather feed A social majesty Than the heartless few That preach lost amnesty. The darkness they hail Bleeds cold and dank; Devoid of spirit, From Devil's cup they drank. In mindset of the fascists Their bark of pride adheres to none. Still weak to th...
