Dustin Bradley Poems

Just the other night, as I layed in my bed,
and thought of the beauitiful things she has said,
of places she's seen, and books she had read,
and all of the interesting lives she had led;
...

Hello bird!
Hello beautiful, gentle, loving, humming little bird!
So powerful is your song,
As it dances through the air,
...

While pulling your fingers through your soft blond hair,
You send your sweet, gentle fragrance through the cool mourning air;
With your eyes like puddles of rose fallen dew,
two sparkling jewels dipped in a sky of blue;
...

Eyes open,
shadows dance across your view,
sliding about your celing as you wake up to something new;
You blink,
...

Life is but a time, in which death has not yet found,
It's a cruel and evil punishment in which unhappily you are bound;
Life is death showing its ugly face as soon as your think your free,
Then striking fast to slit your throat and laughing happily;
...

Troubled by a constant question,
Not so easy, right or wrong?
It should be so simple, taught by lessons,
Knowing where your heart belongs;
...

I smile at the thought of something,
Even though it's come and gone;
Finally someone real with purpose,
A moment where I did belong;
...

Scattered pieces, open wounds
Withered hearts of yesterday;
Tiny evils pull and tear
On our hearts they dance and play;
...

On a distant horizon, a darkness creeps,
As the cloud masts take their form;
The proud sun replaced by a bitter fog,
And the cold consumes the warm;
...

There's a thought that sits within us, a word that lives within us,
In our pits it twists and spins us from the dreaded word 'alone'.
Your heart is newly broken with the words so fiercely spoken,
Yet, these words so fiercely spoken are the only ones you've known.
...
