Nicholas Peter Poems

Olympus flash,
A Zeus hurled spear,
lighting the dark canvas.
...

I lit another cigarette,
just to kill some stress,
and maybe some time.
...

White kimono,
flowing outwards like,
purifying light-
...

Birthed anew in the mud,
the disgusting snake pit of blood,
and ash.
...

Look upon my kingly empire,
built on blood,
on that thousandth lie,
on the honest cheat,
...

I sat on my porch,
and watched the timeless warriors,
Battle with their katanas,
And kimonos,
...

You were,
a fighter,
of this there was no doubt.
...

An explosion goes off in front of me,
loud as thunder and quick as lightning,
and it hits like a speeding locomotive.
...

Car after car after car,
passes by us,
speeding by under attractive streetlights.
...

Staring into a dirty bathroom mirror,
your eyes are wet,
and your skin is pale.
...
