Phillip Knox Poems

I saw a mocking bird upon a tree
alone, chirping a tune
the skill of imitation bore he
as it sang amid the gloom.
...

In the grip of pain I find myself
the victim of endless lies
always pondering certainty of death
with no peace of mind.
...

Follow me in the footsteps of an addict
to the streets of crack haven avenue
tortured souls falling blind, erratic
looking through mirrors of glass tubes.
...

Her beauty was captivating
sweet of heart, flustered
within shades of hazel
searching still luster.
...

Swallowed in dreams of bliss
and sunset berry kisses
in the still of azure skies
I gaze into your eyes.
...

In the night I hide
shattered, broken of heart
my soul cries in anguish
I cannot see far.
...
