Matthew Peel Poems

Close your eyes, fall into sleep
For your soul is mine to keep
No longer here, I'll help suffocate
You on your ashes and eradicate
...

Listen, hush my child
Dont make a sound.
The room is calm and mild
And the snow hits the ground.
...

Oh night sky, why taunt me?
Your beauty can only mesmerize.
With your lids open for all to see
And the night chariot on the rise.
...

I can sit on this white porch
Look at you from afar
The sun will rise beyond your step
As I swing from the dark
...

Where did his thoughts lie?
At the bottom, destined to die
Before he could take ahold
And reshape their twisted mold
...

Filthy
Just filthy
I'm filthy
You're filthy
...

Black cat, we're not so different
You're no more evil than I
But we are associated with wicked ways
Deeds and forces, negative and crude
...

Those strings that held you are not there
I cut them, swiftly, painlessly
No blood, no mess, a perfect crime
My rusted scissors did them in
...

Clothes ragged, worn
Face serious, eyes wander
Motioning to the sky
Speaking of strange things
...

She rises
Cascading a brightness
Upon any mortal man
Weak in his heart
...
