Derek Brendish Poems

Could I walk alone as autumn doth end?
Will the winter be kind enough to me?
Do I know what's just round the bend?
Or should I just go ahead and see?
...

In a wilderness of doom, promises of grace
Where leaden skies enfetter a land of gold
Creation flickers with words bright and bold
‘HEAVEN MUST BE A LONELY PLACE'
...

Today is a very special day, my mother's birthday. Happy Birthday Mum. I wrote this poem just for you.

Sweet memories transformed to the bleak obnoxious
Dreams broken, maimed by greed and intentions vicious
A half-life wasted, the remaining bruised and battered
