Joyce Rugg Poems

Hit Title Date Added
1.
Freefall

Voices whisper, promising sweet sleep
I look, but see nothing in the deep
Nothing different from where I am now
The only change, it doesn’t bow
...

2.
Trial By Fire

Spare me your lies
And your transparent tears 
You grieve not your crimes,
You've lost track of your sins
...

3.
Immortal Idols

You're chasing immortality,
But it's not in fleeting fame,
Nor in works of art
As we forget the masters' names
...

4.
Infected Paradise

Temperatures rise as morals fall
We've created a living hell
We pretend our decay's a lie,
It's easy, perfume masks the smell
...

5.
Self-Bound Slave

They claim their halos
But deny the horns below
Adorned with bats' dark wings
Yet claiming the right of seraphim
...

6.
Empires Fall

Human weaklings now walk
Where dinosaurs once tread
Now an outline in chalk
Their reign long-since dead
...

7.
Awake

My eyes are open, but everything's blurred
I hear the screams, but can't believe they're mine
See the blood and bruises, but feel nothing
Everything once familiar now twisted, strange
...

8.
Blinding Beauty

Hello, hello, remember me
I’m everything you can’t control
My demise you’ll never see
Far away from your grasping hold
...

9.
Friendly Fire

It’s been said that love is blind,
An understatement, I’ve lost my mind
To care for you, after all you’ve done,
Burning alive, still I reach for the sun
...

10.
Bleed Black

It's like a drug, an all-consuming obsession
Not injected but expelled
Numbing, pushing away the depression
As i explode, my demons are felled
...
