Nathan Killeen Poems

Fires burn my lifeless flesh
As I sink into the ground
Flames diminish as sun abates
But wounds are fresh
...

My eyes open, hellish blaze
Homes lit, inferno, town’s been razed

Monstrous swarm, full blown assault
...

I look around, what do I see?
Planes of flames unknown to me.

Fire licking at my feet
...

Blood flows out
From open wounds

I left myself behind
...

I lie here now, what do I feel?
Shards of iron and of steel.

Torturer’s whip is overbearing
...

Shifting silence,
Eternally dark

From my void
...

Tearing at my heart
Blood runs away

Dripping from a blade
...

Lava hot; frost bitter cold
Both’s domain this place doth hold

Frozen foot and burning tear
...

Time beats on through all of us.
Building us up
Only to tear us to pieces.
...

Shell so fragile, full of emptiness

Weeping inwards filling tears
Crying outward, no one hears
...
