Kevin Carney Poems

Wrap me up and tie me up…
Push me down into the river of tears.
Hold me down so I cannot breathe…
Put your hand on my heart.
...

Black moon rising
Melancholy…
Brooding….
Sitting there…
...

It was our world.
Two together as one…
No matter what was thrown at us…
We tried to stand and take it all.
...

Why am I always second best?
Through those nights we walked.
The silence came all too late.
You told me you needed me…
...

Night rains…
Walk the city streets.
Cold, the drops feel…
Warm the belly.
...

Slowly, the clickety-clack…
Rolling, rolling down that endless line.
No place really to go….
An endless time of travel to nowhere.
...

So stagnant it's become.
The same old thing from day to day.
No challenges from day to day.
Same old thing, never moving on.
...

When I close my eyes, you are all I see.
Never have I felt this way…
I just can’t see why you are all to me.
You go through day to day…
...

Oil…
Gold…
Money…
Power and politics.
...

Body and soul.
So close we have come together.
The two of us....
In a storm.
