Brian Hinckley Poems

Loss of control and
feeling
sensation
thought
...

Cosmic visions
Dancing across the sky
Heavenly bodies
Memories of you
...

Shamrock glades
cover the hills.
On this joyous day
the emerald mounds sing.
...

Where does life turn,
taking you where time moves out of control?
Broken and bleeding, life begs to be saved -
and only the scorn of the world answers back.
...

built him in the yard,
constructing him out of steel and love.
Wires connect to circuits and panels run to plugs,
this super killer gigantic robot is my only friend.
...

Where sky kisses water and deep purple blushes the sky,
She sits on crystal sand, dreaming the islands appearing in the blue,
Though one hint, one notion, lurks behind wistful eyes,
Though as beautiful as the sun setting before her, she wishes companionship.
...

Artistic brain-drain
occurring after loss-
when words fail and wither
on parched, broken lips.
...

Bloody chains of fearful reactions,
caught sickening in the soft flesh of reason.
Instant anger, hot and sharp, digging deep,
reason, cool and serene, cries out as it dies.
...

I can't love you,
no matter how I try.
You are better off without me,
because of everything I do.
...

All the small things in life are free,
for a reasonable price.
Tourists on vacation,
the world doesn't belong to us.
...
