Stuart Doggett Poems

Time and distance, arms linked,
Holding it back,
Holding it closed,
Holding together the box I shut
...

Mind exploding,
Cacophony,
Unfocused eye,
Stares within,
...

Maybe because I can touch you
Through the bars that lock me away,
Just to remind me every day
That you are so far away.
...

The tepid water is waiting,
Waiting to be sated.
Ranks of metal are waiting,
Waiting to be sated.
...

I sit among the golden strands,
Caressing them with sun browned hands
And dreaming up the grandest plans
I know will never be.
...

I’m searching for something
I have no idea how to find,
Scrabbling in desperation,
It often turns me blind,
...

Touch
Touch
Touch what it is.
Touch
...

Blazing arc in dampened sky,
Living flame embellish the lie,
Reflections of the truth we spy,
But passage lets the fire die.
...

Pull me off the nail,
Leave myself behind,
Ghost of reality
For someone else to bind to them
...

You appear,
I look,
You see,
I’m drawn,
...
