Scott Forster Poems

Empires fell, London burned in a year of hell
still she never came
In denial, I hope in vain.
My face blackened with soot
...

'Where liberty is, there is my country”
-Benjamin Franklin

The eagle is trapped in a cage
...

Her most high. Lady Liberty
such bountiful gifts you have bestowed
nature granted me such powers, such rights
you will not take them without fight
...

Lived too many years inside my head
too much time living like I was dead.
It's been so long since I felt this alone
So far, so distant
...

a recent re-write of a piece i've had floating around since 2007/2008.


Last Summer
...

Themes: sadness, bitterness, pain, feeling lost in the world, loneliness, crying, emptiness.


Sometimes life grabs you by the throat,
...

A heart full of sorrow
no hopes for tomorrow
as dreams slip away.
We live our lives in the shadow of the sun
...

An edited Altered version of You Have A Beautiful Soul.Contrast It With If You Were The Last Woman.

Everything’s in motion
Worry behind me, a sea of emotion.
...

Life is a hard struggle
a war against regret
fight for forgiveness or to forget
somewhere along the way I lost myself
...

not the most rhythmical poem ever but I think it expresses something really nice.


May You be born with a fearless spirit
...
