Derek Spoonmore Poems

In bed
Above
We're deep asleep
What greater love lies further deep
...

Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity
And so we ask ourselves
Will our actions echo across time
Will strangers hear our names long after our bones turn to dust
...

Alive all year
but dead inside
With no love, the earth quits spinning
Ever so lucky to find a love like you
...

In a world where everything is upside down
Where hate is the master
And love is the slave
While life is hell
...

Doped up in the dark
Leaning against an alley wall
I was crying
I was waiting to die
...

I feel smothered
Trapped like an animal
Pure in its ferocity
Unable to actualize the urges within
...

What is life,
But the companion to death
What is death,
But the unknown
...

You cannot see it
Yet it is all around us
It is meaningless
Yet it is all that matters
...

The final and last battle of mankind
Is becoming immortal
But what comes with immortality is far worse than death
Because without death this is no life
...

Scary skies
On a star filled night
And with the darkness
Comes light
...
