Brian Hinckley Poems

Watch yourself move,
highlighted in a neon glow.
Music rules the night,
rushing through your veins.
...

Feel the road below you,
churning hot rubber over cold pavement.

Gravel spewing behind you,
...

No more swimming
in your money vault, Scrooge,
the well has dried.
...

I remember falling,
falling into brightly lit darkness.
Blinded and weightless,
yet I could see I was too heavy to move.
...

Sonic Boom and
Glowing Firefly.
They lived together once,
forsaken lovers in a troubled time.
...

Cosmic inclusion,
societal deletion.
Your lies don't need an airplane,
they'll run you down.
...

With eyes like diamonds and hips like a knife's edge,
your body was made to cut through me.
Your mind is a gem and your voice is gold,
you have gone beyond precious.
...

Pretend that you want me to leave,
letting me walk out the door.
Pretend you didn't cry,
while your tears stain your cheeks.
...

The games we play keep us occupied,
winding down the year without our notice.
Under the sugary-scented tree we meet,
a single kiss among the falling petals.
...

Halt time for just a moment,
let me tell you what I really want to say.
After I do you can walk away,
never hearing my voice again.
...
