Ronald Speight Poems

Up since 2am, crying since 2am
My tears surreal wishing they weren’t there
I ignore myself I think it’s too much
I’ve lost what little clarity I have
...

Revelations is the end
So what happens in between?
Preparation for the kingdom
Trials of man, errors of man
...

Sequences of words with so many meanings
A different answer to all
Answers that caress the soul and
Lift the spirit
...

Revitalized words become
New almost as a
Rattle to a small child
Liquor to the sober
...

You scream in anger
In a cold empty street
I pass by only
To be disturbed
...

Lining up the barrel to his chest
I wonder what I did to deserve this
All my effort was to provide you
...

I write this with my pupils dilated
A notice for the disease that lurks about
Within me you wreck havoc for no reason
...

A beautiful melody
Flowing from the epicenter
Sounds of glory
Moving ahead
...

They give light to dim corners
Warmth to a cold reality
Watchful eyes over ill-lit paths
...
