Declan B Poems

Ah it sits there, bold as brass.
The rat in its element,
picking at the flesh that
sustains him. Oh scavenger!
...

Dancing playfully in the grass,
Thorns coming from her side,
Wearing such colours,
Too vivid to hide.
...

I look over at the man
staring silently out the window,
his eyes glazed over and empty,
he is motionless apart from his
...

It has no time,
It follows its heart,
It travels by day,
Night and dusk,
...

Dejected
I remenice
My disregarded youth
My forgotten innocence
...

You tried to distance them,
The rabbit and the wolf.
Will you break them apart?
Do not break them.
...

Alone, a box of bootlegged wine,
a man and his silver snake.

He opens his eyes blearily, his silver snake
...

The jewelled band of silver,
the smooth white teardrop,
the leaf, the moon and sun,
the ball and chain.
...

O, I bet in all of your travels
you have never met one such as I,
nor will you encounter one like me.
Your toughest fight will be with me
...
