Kevin Carney Poems

Eyes look through the mirror…
Conscious is the brain.
No more illusions…
The reality of life wins out…
...

I look at the blank sheet of paper…
Staring deep into the pure white.
I went to write the words,
which needed to be said.
...

Please excuse my absence…
So quiet I have been…
Sorry for the lack of words…
It was something I just had to do.
...

The thunder and lightning…
Flashes illuminating the dark of the night…
Rumbles of the thunder shattering the solace of the darkness.
Eyes wide open, listening…
...

Miss Blue, look at you…
Sitting there looking out into the blue of night.
Out that window with that blank blue stare.
Pensive, it’s written on your face.
...

Apple pie…
Watermelon…
The Fourth of July.
America....
...

Last night…
I heard what I thought…
Were your whispers in the twilight of my dreams.
Lost it seems, once besides me.
...

Is it time?
To look inside and maybe fade away…
Where it will end I cannot say…
Through the whispers of soft dreams…
...

Did I see the rainbow in the sky yesterday?
The storms have ended, the sky lights bright.
The colors all so vivid to see for all so high above.
Dare I take that chance, to tell you what’s in my heart?
...

I don’t scare easily…
You try to push me away.
You might break my heart…
I am not going away…
...
