I thought I might take advantage of this forum and post some of my poems. I have written MY own poems for awhile now and they help me to put into writing feelings and stories about the ups and downs of life, mostly downs for me as my childhood was a bit of a disaster, actually my life whole hasn't been great BUT it does make for great poetry I think! These poems are all 100% mine.

Here is the first I will share and if there is any interest I may add others. Thanks for reading.


Twilight of Shadows

In the twilight of shadows
Where storm clouds abound
In the dusk of my mind
Where no hope is found

A rain swept cemetery
Deep in my soul
A breeze of insanity
Whistled and rolled

In the furthest corner
Of darkest despair
I come face to face
With all that I fear

Tombstones like strangers
Brokenly stare
Engraved with those memories
I scarcely can bear

Hills shaped like monsters, I shudder to look
From behind they hide creatures
My childhood they took

Branches of trees twisted in pain
They creak and they moan
And they scream out my name

Shivers like spiders
They crawl down my spine
I shake just a little
I’m lost in my mind

I can remember when I switched from writing in my journal to doing a journal of poetry. Shadows are cool to write about. Here is one of mine.

Shadow Strangers

It is quiet as I walk down the hall.
I know he is there behind that wall.
He will want me at his becon call.
I tell myself that he is just small.
He starts yelling; Not new at all.
He must be thinking he's at a mall.
I must get to him before he falls.
Nervous laughter then the brawl.
Again comes the southern draw.
I have to stay calm and withdraw.
I can't let this be the last straw.
Slowly my composure will thaw.
Shadow strangers but so raw.
