Leighton J Rees Poems

I have three personas
Four voices
Two laughs
One cry
...

A place so far away, yet I have seen it many times
Lush country where I will never make it to, a place i'll never find.
Frustration that I will never crawl across those soft grass golden hills
Taste the earth, drink from the river, feel its thrills.
...

Await them in town, to arrive from sea
Those who glow amidst war misery
With minds like mine, sure there are more
Yet honest tongues are few
...

Face down in the gutter with the stars upon my back
Moonglow presses heavy, the night holds me in black

I'll see you in my dreams
...

Big Billy and his dog named Sog were walking around the Forest of Fog
When all of a sudden The Devil appears from behind a tree
The Devil says “OK which one of you is coming with me? And don’t say neither because I won’t agree, now make your minds up fast, whose new home will be in hell? ”
Now Sog barks loud and The Devil just sighs and Big Billy thinks ‘I know lets run and hide’ but as he looks down he notices together both his shoelaces are tied.
...

When the moon and sun eclipse
That's when he wakes from the abyss
Then slips into black leather gloves
To hunt the neck of those he doesn't love
...

Me and she watch the starlings fly high in the sky,
So together unlike the people we see rush below.
They swirl into patterns adding color on grey,
As they dance around clouds that may get in the way.
...

Smoky quartz blink, set the room ablaze
black petals flow, hypnotic midnight waves

this fire light held by another
...

Red ants march militantly through the streets
Under the brutal sun a pig corpse heats and a thousand flies have made their church inside

In the tower a raven stands alone in a cell
...

The trumpet will play
a sweet prelude, to earth's last tired breath
but Gabriel shall not call me
I shall leave long before his dance of death
...
