Keith Lankford Poems

I am nothing
Smaller then the smallest grain of sand
Resting at the bottom
Of the lowest valley on Earth
...

Into the darkness
He slowly did fall
As he told the tale
As he left all
...

I have two barrels
And they're bearing down on you
I'm real interested
In what you plan to do
...

Ishtar at his door offering herself at last
Gilgamesh refrained, much knowledge or her past
The Bull of Heaven shall reign down upon thee
She explained to Anu, or from hell I shall free
...

Just a shadow of a reflection

She was a stranger
In danger of loving me
...

Keeping order in the streets
Protecting you and I
Sheriffs we keep
Turning a blind eye
...

Central intelligence
Agents take flight
Well known enemies
Meetings at night
...

"Anowara: kowa"

Blood stains the land
So many once roamed
...

No love loss
As I watched you walk away
So long gone
Your love just another day
...

Blood bled cold on a moonlit night
Blood bleeding red, red and bleeding bright
...
