Bleak Landscape (repost)
My mind is a bleak landscape Not by design Scattered with corpses Once dreams of mine A famine came one day It never left It dried my rivers Left me for dead Dust storms roam The sunlight, they cloakI am stalked by fear On hopelessness, I choke I laid my bleakness Before the Lord And… Continue reading

Treadmill
A lament I am on a treadmill And I dare not stop For a bed of spikes wait If I were to fall off I am in a cruel game A wicked trap Holding a boulder over my toes Until my arms crack If I stop my efforts My mood will fall If I continue… Continue reading

Mood Drop (repost)
A lament Why does my mood drop Like a stone in a lake? Like a dead bird from the sky Or a beast bitten by a snake? Why does my mood drop Like a foolish climber off a cliff? Like an elevator gone rogue That is descending too quick? There is a gravitational force Working… Continue reading
