Poems from way back
I haven’t posted in quite a while and I still don’t have time to come up with anything to say, so here are a couple poems that I wrote a long, long time ago. I don’t claim to be good at writing poems, they’re just my poems & nothing more. They’re not about anything spiritual or thought provoking or anything. All they are is imagery. Don’t over-analyze. I don’t want to tell you what they mean, but they do have meaning… a singular meaning per poem (they at least have a story). All of the following are copyrighted and all rights are reserved.
Without further delay:

Fire in my Bones – 2005-06-01; 1:56am
I need a cold shower
To try to squelch the fire
The fire in my bones.
I’m losing my life
I’m burning from the inside
Inside my bones
Where did this come from?
Where did it start?
It must have begun here in my heart.
Then it grew from there
It flew from there
Here in my fingers; my toes.
My marrow is melting now
I can see your face somehow
Through the smoke escaping my eyes.
Like a dragon now
Spewing this fire
This fire in my bones
Let it burn.

Outrunning Eternity 2005-08-15
Wading through the river
I glance to my rear
And I see the monster bearing down on me
No time to think, I tread even further
Step by Step and moment by moment
I pass by some — and yet too slow for others
I begin gaining ground
I’m outrunning Eternity
Until battered down by the impure waves, thrashing
I slip to the left, but do not falter
On I go and go
An explosion to my left, I can feel it coming
I’m surrounded
I must press on, though I know not why
It seems unending, unrelenting
I’m outrunning eternity
Close enough to taste, but I cannot sop
Silence
I’m lost
Too good to be true!
The darkness looms
Chasing me now
My eyes are clear
I’m outrunning eternity
Just me and the cows now
they fly as the pigs
In one fluid motion
The trees are thrown in pain
I cannot be slowed; cannot be stopped
As I outrun eternity
And only I streak as lightning
Through time and space
As I outrun eternity

That’s all for now.
These do need to be edited and refined, but I don’t care. Don’t steal.
