A song about the deadly White Horse....

Edgar said “I’m lonely” Brandy said “me too” “I think I’ve lost my vision” “And I don’t know what to do” Life on coffee Cigarettes Bleary mornings No regrets Dopamine shuffle Liquor slurred Fried synapse Wounded bird His missing rib Such brittle wings Her sultry smile Gold nose ring He needed her Just wanted her to know The chance slipped through his fingers Sleepless nights ago “He’s the only one for me” Precedes her painful pause Searching for forever Overlook the flaws Glazed disposition Crown of matted hair Tender soul a rotting Dazed Stark despair Mean streets Dark So f***ing cold Minutes seem like hours Teenage eyes grow old Jungle steeped in evil Consciousness evades “Survival but a choice” Says the Queen of Spades Thirst to feel Not merely see No time left for sad goodbyes He wandered aimlessly Reckless Altar Boy Lacerated prey White Horse overdose He tried too hard that day © Bill Grimes Jr. 2008

Nice to see you back! Excellent writing and fully expressed, a cement jungle filled with traps and only the wise shall overcome....

Be always safe,

I may have missed some of the nuance, Bill, but I
really like your poem and the rhythm in the way you
write: The chance slipped through his fingers
Sleepless nights ago.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
