Serena Blackinton Poems

On the wings of an eagle,
I soar ever higher
looking down
upon the greens, browns and greys
...

I look into your eyes and see the pain inside
The hunger within makes me want to hide
I can't get close to you, so I'll build this wall:
Brick by brick, all around my soul.
...

If you were with me now, I'd call and see if you were up,
And I'd come over for a coffee, and stay for a cup.
Maybe as you clicked the phone off, you'd put on the kettle
(Having it already prepared, so I wouldn't try to meddle) .
...

On the fringes of reality
I'm here alone, but that's fine with me
I come and I go as I please
Drifting in and out of sanity.
...

You inspired me to write,
Banished darkness into light,
Mended fragments of my broken dreams,
And took me to where it's as it seems...
...

I don't suppose you know how crazy you used to make me;
How insanely jealous I became of anything that took attention away,
How wonderful I felt when I was all you wanted to do,
And how I wanted to slap your face and kiss you at the same time too.
...

Yes I feel sad all the time now
There never seems to be reprieve
And just when I think I begin to heal
I'm given another reason to grieve
...

So what if the world is flat?
Why should I care about that?
Think of what the ramifications would be
If you knew you're being hypnotised by the tv.
...

Words can heal or they can harm
They can be a curse, or a charm
They pick you up and make you fly
Or drop you so hard you just wanna die
...

Stranded in a world of delusion
Another casualty taken by confusion
I'm not sorry for this intrusion
Because I've come to this conclusion
...
