Pensive Phoenix Poems

I would sail to the other side of the world,
If that’s what it takes
To forget your face.
I’d rather dream, than face reality.
...

I was afraid to love you,
And you had fought to me.
Desperation overtook fear
As life insufferably,
...

It was a trade they knew to well,
Another place of endless hell,
Walked the streets since they were nine,
Couldn't see a world benign,
...

They built the stones that we stand on,
They blessed and graced the work long gone.
They dropped the first seed into the earth,
To a mighty tree from it’s first birth.
...

I see a burning inferno
Just beneath the surface of the world
It’s clouded, reeling with their screams
O madness, it seems so real
...

This darkness takes a hold
Comes from the shadows
I fear it will not go
It always makes a show
...

I linger here
All friends have gone
Family’s distant
The time is long
...

This photo fills my eyes with
Memories
Fraught with colour
A claim that I have seen
...

I come to you not as I wish
Broken words veil drowned desire
Silence was sealed with a sombre kiss
...
