Brian Kilpatrick Poems

The answer echoes
Against my empty soul
I listen to the waves
As they come and go
...

Oh winters flake
Blown by the wind
So all alone
Until you find a friend
...

Another lonely night
I wait by the shores of my mind
For a breeze to blow clear
The staleness that lingers there
...

A faded picture
Full of hope
With mother and child
Ahead the unfurled road
...

Heaven grows
On barren hearts
Fertilized with pain
When barren hearts fall apart
...

First time I saw you sitting there like a nervous little angel ready to fly away
First time I talked to you I encouraged you to stay
First time I saw you smile, it made me smile too
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too
...

The petal falls
The colors 
Of the apple blossom 
Rain on the eyes
...

Looking for a parking spot
One last time
The boardwalks wait
One last time
...

The truth lies
Somewhere between halve truths
And white lies
The truth lies
...

My soul picked up momentum
As I accumulated more and more debris
Everything I came in contact with
Was sucked into the black hole
...
