Edward James Poems

I sit down peacefully with my book.
Upon the blank page I look.
As i tap my pen patiently, patiently,
Patiently waiting in my writing nook.
...

Medicate me with a peaceful pile of letters,
And lead me on my way again.
You picked me up when I was down,
And you drowned me with your love again.
...

The full inspiration,
Of the beautiful blue.
The music of daffodils,
The voice that soothes.
...

Shot in a night of impeccable injustice.
Overflowed with torment and forgiveness.
Placed directed towards my head and waiting.
Pushing through the morbid crowd.
...

All the wonderful music,
Wouldn’t dare the clouds to return,
Overtop the grave site,
And leave me scratching, screaming.
...

A grunt.
A moan.
An exaggerated sound of released compressed air.
Your sweet lips parted,
...

I watched him land.
He closed his eyes,
and opened his hands.
He stood outstretched,
...

I told you this,
And now you’re ill.
With sharp confusion,
And morning chill.
...

I remember speaking to you,
Once upon some months ago.
Once upon a fairy tale;
Once upon the fairest day.
...

The day I was happy,
Was the worst day of your life;
And you never thought it would come,
But it came after torment and strife.
...
