Timothy Lee Hollandsworth Jr. Poems

The light of the day blinds me
and the darkness of night, she guides me.
Her song is smooth, her touch is soft.
I'm but a man, who am I to deny her?
...

~PEACE AND WAR~

The old dream dies young
Forever crying out in vain
...

Again I stand,
To face the world,
Alone and cold in a darkened room.
I turn on the lights
...

We are in a time of decay.
The winds die down
And the earth rots away.
The fires will not burn,
...

Dear God,
It's me again. I know it's been awhile.
It seems that it always is. I know I only ask for your love
When it is convenient for me. I know I don't always return the favor.
...

If you aske me my name
I'll give you no answer
If you ask how I'm doing
I'll ask you to die of cancer
...

ego sum primoris prognatus filius of a infractus vir
sic ego sum a infractus sol solis
ego sum primoris prognatus filius of a desparatus mulier
sic ego sum a desparatus luna
...

Tripping over the sand dunes
Lost in the tides of time
Not sure what is being looked for
Though, when it is found, one would know for sure
...

Open the story book
Only to read the same story
Give it a second look
Just to repeat history
...

I am first born son of a broken man
so I am a broken sun
I am the first born son of a desperate woman
so I am a desperate moon
...
