The Devil’s Apogee – #poetry #NaPoWriMo
Tossed about
By the curse of the sea
The crew, in peril,
Could not break free.
The demons held tight,
Never letting go
Poor little ship,
Thrown about, to and fro.
Damaging waves
Thrashed about the bow
Men, hanging on,
But they didn’t know how
To stop the water
From coming aboard
Surely, someone
Had caused this discord
No time to wonder
No time to blame
The rocks, getting closer
Held each of their names
One by one,
They disappeared
Voices, now silenced
It’s what they had feared
They never did find
This vessel, lost at sea
Surely, evil prevailed
Twas the Devil’s apogee

In Memoriam
“And the booming of cannon fire will be
the tell-tale heart, marking a long ago time
when my innocence was lost.”
What can I say about today other than the fact that I’ve lost the sense that there’s something here worth celebrating? Day after day, I hope that I’m stuck in some endless dream. An alternate, hellish reality that I don’t want to know. So when I hear the pops and crackles that mirror the sound of a war not far from my doorstep, I try to occupy my mind elsewhere. But the bitter memory of him will linger on my tongue. And the booming of cannon fire will be the tell-tale heart, marking a long ago time when my innocence was lost.

For this is what it means
to be haunted by
my childhood monster.
Only he didn’t live
underneath my bed.
He just came…

#NaPoWriMo-Day 26-No Evidence
The red ink
spatters upon the page
like blood
The truth
should be seen
not hidden inside
like a cancer
There is no transcript
no evidence
no witnesses
The mental anguish
hidden from public view
Nothing tells the world
who you truly are
There is no one
to judge you
at least not
here on Earth
Let my words
speak
for those who cannot

Poetry: Day 536
just a stone’s throw from freedom
i’m a breath away from the end
i can practically see it
but your words are like pebbles in the water
disturbing my calm
and setting me up to fail
