chris austin Poems

The sun still shines
The rain still falls
The world maintains its stride
But suddenly and silently
...

</></></>Once upon a time we fought the dragon
Once upon a time we were knights in faded denim - and
The dragon was big with orange eyes and stinking breath
We fought him with our swords of youth and shields of optimism
...

You.
You, my other me, who never sees the sun
But dogs my every step and mimics all my moves
Like some demented wraith.
...

I’d like to get you
On a big bellied tanker
With a well tuned engine
That can hammer a beat
...
