Beth Mc'Neil Poems

Take heed my warning young and old
Misery lies here tales untold
Within these walls I hear the screams
Forgotten hopes prayers and dreams
...

I prick my finger upon a thorn
Watch the blood bead
I flinch and run my fingers under the water
Its hotter than I thought it would be and I go to pull away
...

How sweet is the sorrow that pierces my ears
The sounds of their screaming is all I've ever yearned to hear
My most intimate dreams drawn out in the night
To be placed on a screen for others delight
...

I broke the seal of flesh and blood
Today at just past two
My mind went whizzing past me as I expected it to do
It's kind of like your dreaming it's almost like you care
...

The aftermaths quite messy
My towel half stained red
The throbbing of the gashes
Like the pounding in my head
...

Drowning in my memories my sweet eternal doom
My world is spinning faster
My death is coming soon
My skin is turning whiter to the touch it's rather cold
...

The tides roll in
The tides roll out
Is this what life is all about?
You push ahead
...
