John Duffy Poems

The Sonnet of the Lone Guardian Angel

(A lone voice whispers)
...

Now my life's great party's over and this Black Hole

I now live within
Ruled over by Father Sin
...

Some may call me a charlatan

A new reborn follower of a King
...

I first met you in my childhood
And I can still remember

When I used to look out of that bedroom window
...

A voice whispered at 1 am.

As I sit alone at the worn gates of Yesterday
...

The Seduced

Does the lonely soul with broken wings
...

Did you once love me

Or is it still just another darkly lit daydream
...

Like a message lost
As unknown high seas claimed her
Should I swim to look
...

A story I must share

As I entered my
Secret White Room
...

Are the Broken

Always unconsciously
Attracted to the broken
...
