Inspiration (?)

swirling thoughts catastrophic
an endless hurricane
confusion neverending
bombardment hammering
unrelenting spewing forth
pouring mindless raving
confused scribble
filling a blank page
scrawled mindless detritus

Life

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Dawn Whitehand

travelling slowly through time
snail-like
ignoring the obvious obstacles
ostrich-like
fussing over small morsels
crow-like
needing to self implode
me-like

Autumn

twig snaps
breeze blows
green leaf
gently drifts

downwards

gravity pulling
finally landing
and becoming
leaf litter

Last Sunset

Posted on April 19, 2014 by Dawn Whitehand

veiled in a murky gray smog
the sun hangs ominously
a blood orange in the sky
huge and simmering anger
eaten by the flat desolate horizon
until it is no more
and only a rippling haze remains

Time

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Dawn Whitehand

mould
slowly crawls
invading naked walls
it breathes and bubbles
sprouting mossy green spores velvet
spewing forth stagnant air floating gracefully
suffocating the atmosphere so that all else dies

Why?

Posted on April 10, 2014 by Dawn Whitehand

Yesterday
You left
Your footprints sinking
Yet further towards her
Yearning for another doomed chance
Yoke like you hang
Yanking my soul
Years ago
Yesterday

Shavings

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Dawn Whitehand

of my life
scattered
haphazard
multi-coloured
ragged
an orange peel
twirling
worn
endless

Untitled?? Suggestions Welcome??

rumbling low
silent vibrations
radiating outward
approaching slowly
quivering ripples
creeping insidious
unseen disguised
under a green velvety carpet
exploding inward
seething anger
imploding outward
raging angst
quietly accepting
inevitable slaughter
