Billy Loving Poems

Gloom and despair
As out the windows I stare
Dark and damp
Warming glow of the lamp
...

Another year draws to a close
Contemplating the path I have choose
Time goes by so fast
Days, not long do they last
...

Strangers all around
No friend to be found
Ceasing to care
As I grow older year by year
...

Patience put to the test
A feeling of unrest
Pacing to and fro
Agitation starts to show
...

Blood from the knife blade drips
Through the flesh it rips
Victim swoons to and fro
As his motions begin to slow
...

Bomb blasts surround
Ears deaf to the sound
Fire lights the sky
No reason to ask God why
...

Forever grateful
Always thankful
The Lord's creatures great and small
People growing short and tall
...

Outside in the night
In the darkness, I delight
Stillness all around
Nothing to be found
...

Pulling a dusty old book off the shelf
Examining it as I sit by myself
A single teardrop stains the page
Returning to my diary a wise old sage
...

Equality, so different would it be
If only through my eyes you could see
Just fleeting visions in my dreams
So improbable, it sometimes seems
...
