Strange Poetry

Time

There's only so much

Innocence before the

Power forms again.

Control fate.

Ghost

Grey old men

Hanging around

Outside the old peoples home

Slipping away into it

There's no rest

Love

Left her alone

On my way

Valiums kicking in

Emotions going away

Pain

Please help me, please

Agony passes through her

Instead they keep walking

Never help never stop never care


Cinquains

human

observe the world

change and reshape the edge

minimise the risk and guard well

your life

writer

out in the dark

what are you creating here

with fingers and keys now you see

people

past time

was so long now

we waited at red lines

with our departure hidden

where now

city

you hold us close

when none respond with love

what choice is there in free will world

don't know

<

lifetime

is very long

as the clock ticks slowly

it reminds me of how to wait

time flies
