Benjamin Markham Poems

I walked through a meadow
across a salty lake
I stared at all the wonders
to burn away the hate
...

I had a thought about how the world should be
About Power -
Equality -
I ran my fingers through my hair
...

I brushed my teeth 'till they bled
last night as I
waited
for the phone to ring the noose
...

My patience came to the party
fashionably late
wearing plaid - cigar smoking
carrying Armani scented air.
...

You left your hand hanging out of the window
I saw, just a glimpse
Bicycle wheels break through puddles and smash into walls
An empty house filled with lust and broken glass
...

6.

When March came it brought the cold
Your palm held my hand closed
The clouds broke to let the light through
And my love, we were on our own.

The Best Poem Of Benjamin Markham

The Lavender

I walked through a meadow
across a salty lake
I stared at all the wonders
to burn away the hate
I sat on the bench and stared
Over the town I loved
Untill i came across your house
and it churned my fickle blood
The lavender plant had died
to leave a decripit remain
I thought to taste all i cried
but managed to abstain
What about the present?
It didn't mean a thing
I used this belt to beat my skin
to all it holds within
My face has worn its shine
to almost see the bone
The weathering, it took no time
When I cared for staying home
So I picked the wilted flower
I nursed it back to health
The sun had brought us both new life
Now the lavender holds my wealth
