Steven Rowe Poems

I have surrounded my heart with a 1000 foot wall, a shark infested moat, and castle that can not be broken through

The outside pain disappeared.
That was not the problem
...

Overwhelmed by emotions,
My mind is stuck behind a thick haze.
The only person I see is strangely different than I remember her,
New, but perfect.
...

One Day...
My mind will be empty,
With all dreams fulfilled.
...

Grabbing at your arms.
Pulling at your heart.
You aren't ready to go.
With whom would you leave?
...

I see a long night,
A night I won't remember.
I want a great night,
A night always to remember.
...

Looking deeper and deeper,
And eventually I find the big dipper.
However, as I try harder,
I realize I can see no farther.
...

To the left,
To the right,
Half inept,
Half in flight,
...

My muse.

Not a drop-dead gorgeous
with everything superfluous.
...

The world all around,
As bleak as can be.
Nowhere to turn,
Nor anything left for ye.
...

As I walk around what I call my place
I see a world created,
Disregarding time and space.
...
