Austin Clark Poems

I feel your presence lurking
On the edge of my mind
Waiting for its chance
Thoughts of you are never far away
...

The emptiness is oppressing.
Feeling, emotion…all gone.
I fumble for something to grasp
Falling, falling
...

This pain inside my soul
Is taking over me
From the inside out
I feel its taint inside
...

Isolation, is all I want
All that I need
But to be alone
Is different indeed
...

Emptiness permeates my soul
Seeping throughout it
Tainting - corrupting - spoiling
My body, my everything
...

Love cannot express what I feel
It is so much more then that
At night I wish for you beside me
The pain I feel permeates my soul
...

Darkness devouring,
Wholly encompassing,
Suppression of light.
Suffocation of my life -
...

The clock passes ever slowly,
Reminders everywhere -
Standing, sitting, lying...
Merely waiting.
...

Lyrics of songs arranged by me into a ballad, not wrriten by me:

I walk a lonely road, and I’m the only one and I walk alone -
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me -
...

Across the path of life,
Stands waiting the one for me.
O’er the river spans the bridge
I have to cross to arrive at -
...
