Lean into the wind
and wed with a nod
Your body turns cold
as you dote on the sod
Wendigo
He showed to me the future,
he showed to me the past
Where the greatest knowledge could be found
and the greatest treasures stashed.
Down to the River
I lay waiting, fearfully at times
he is coming tonight
Like he does every night
he waits while my candle burns
he waits in the kitchen
at every corner I turn
He is quiet but
his laughter
rings loud in my head.
He is the one that you
have always known
yet come to know that
you can never really know him
He is the darkness
The fire that killed us moves on in strife
now we rejoice, for in death we found life.
Orphan's Lighthouse
As I have said before I am very glad I took the time to read this, as I usually skip past poetry collections. It is well written and contains some beautiful and emotional pieces. I debated weither to rate the work due not to it's quality or my enjoyment, but because perceptions of poetry are very individual. In the end I decided to rate it and would implore others, who maybe are not regular poetry readers, to take a chance on something a bit different and to share how the poems made you feel.

ReplyDeleteWelcome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.
I am not usually a fan of poetry, but every time I give a poetry book a go, I'm always very pleased. I love to read poetry out loud - it can be rather addicting :-)
ReplyDeleteNew follower from Book blogs - so nice to meet you, keep up the great work!
Consider giving Life Games a go then.
