Dylan Sharkey Poems

One hand clings dependently
to his cane. The other clutches desperately
to his overcoat; his shield from the unforgiving elements.
His bleak defence weakens
...

One may say determination,
is the way in which we strive.
It is our heart, it is our soul,
It is the inner drive.
...

They say
She can captivate a heart with just one glance,
Lead a man astray with just one dance,
Change the world with a subtle smile,
...

The romance is dead.
The tender love which once nurtured and gently caressed my heart is now gone,
A mere memory
Distant from the pain and hardship now wretched in my soul.
...

Another shot of whisky
Goes flowing down the drain
They say it's going to kill me,
Yet it seems to ease the pain.
...
