David Williams Poems

Colbert always thought, he was a very cool cat

He would spend all his days sprawled out on a mat
...

The moon casts a shadow stretching across
cold murky water embraced by the winds
all rushing towards their impending loss
and men seek forgiveness for all their sins
...

A life that no death could ever undo
those cherished moments are frozen in time
deep in nature from that moment I knew
as in ethereal dreams life was sublime
...

The lonely clown,
hidden in red
white with fear,
painted in tears
...

luminescent eyes stared back and revived
secrets held deep in a mind that’s askew
he whispered the names of those that survived
a smile that belied the things he went through
...

A half-lit light casts a shadow on the flock wallpaper, ink stained.
