Shane Clawson Poems

For as long as I've known him
We got along
Through the good and bad times
He was there
...

D EATH
E MPTINESS
P AIN
R EMORSE
...

The night is young
A place like this
So easy to get lost in
Cover my fist in kisses
...

Two souls are only here
Explaining the hell we all must face
Seeking the residents of Murlsberry
A daily routine they must live with
...

I AM the sorrow deep inside
I AM where there is no pride
I AM the thing you despise
I AM the reason for your unexplainable fatigue
...

Think I will clear my head

On the wooden path down to the shore,
...

I'll kiss him
Until we both get light headed
Isn't that enough to validate
I really, really want this
...

Air port road baby
You are like a secret love
Can do no wrong
He's always good to me
...

Settled into the big city

Burned a whole in my pocket
...

I tagged along with the group
the beer was payed for, they insisted I gulp it down
I had no choice but to sip it, down, down it went
the bitter taste stuck with me
...
