Michael Carlson Poems

Nature is mighty
Nature is strong
Nature is usually always right
Nature is rarely ever wrong
...

I look out
into the deep blue sky
wishing I could run about
Or maybe to just fly
...

I bet you think that you're so sly
Just oh so sly when you look me in the face and lie
I know you speak nothing of the truth
Why must you persist and try
...

Friend of mine
you took something away
you stole it from me
why can't i see
...

Chains That Bind

These chains
Tied upon the mast
...

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Is it my sight?
IS it my song?
...

Diamonds are diamonds
Even though one may be shinier
Clearer
Bigger or smaller
...

I'm trippin
i'm slipping
i'm sippin
from the goblet of life
...

Cold slowly advancing across skin
Breath no longer coming from within
Eyes glossy and now glazed
Body left to never again be raised
...

Creeping out
They fly away
flying now, because now is the day
the day of which, the next they'll not see
...
