Austin Clark Poems

The past haunts,
The greatest of greats,
The lowest of lows,
And middlings in-between,
...

As I sit here
The tears flow freely
And ill I can do
Is think of you
...

To fall away from reality -
To go to sleep in the day -
To leave your loved ones behind -
To forsake all the possessions -
...

The things you say just make me smile,
Anytime of any day;
The way you are is intoxicating,
Every thought in my head is about you.
...

In the dark is the lightened beauty;
As shadows are cast by light
Stars are revealed in darkness-
As life has brightness unending
...

Forever, forever, forever
I’m sick of mourning
Sick of mourning
Sick of grief
...

The expression of this feeling that I have
Is impossible to express
By none other then that of death
But on the winds of time
...

Somehow along the way
I chose the wrong fork
And to traverse this trail
With its rocky roads
...

The one who dwells upon the past
The person stuck behind the present
Cannot understand the future,
And in the present is at a loss
...
