John DeBona Poems

When good and evil
are divided equal
There's half the hope
in which to cope
...

If I were to lose you
I think I'd lose my mind
so get some sleep
and something to eat
...

Blades of vengeance...
hammer striking...
Barbed in flesh... impaling spike.
...

I want to breathe rain.
Feel the summer mist running through my veins.
I want to ride the clouds.
Soaring free on the edge, high and proud.
...

Every step full of pain, a step farther away from my home.
All I knew as a child, now memories and flames.
The fear of darkness weighs on my back.
I'm burdened with worry but I can't stop to cry.
...

Half girl, half woman.
Victoria Secret
and the Disney channel.
Roses and chocolate milk.
...

Your nose is long and crooked, your hips are big and wide.
Your voice makes me nauseous, I want to run and hide.
Your hair is quickly graying, your skin is sickly pale.
Your body is full of problems, and your breath is awfully stale.
...

I cried on the first day of school.
I felt like a fool, on the first day of school.
Dad made up words, a bit like Pig Latin.
The teacher held up a picture of a monkey.
...

Twisted metal and acid rain
Scream out loud to kill the pain
Peeling skin and senses out
Fall before the next blackout
...

Death and Hatred
Poison moon
Evil vengeance
At full bloom
...
