Tim Carlson Poems

She bore a platinum baby,
of one she could be proud.
Her mossy earthen womb,
a misty dew-grey shroud.
...

I love her,
but would not do this.
Please preserve that sanctity she breathes.
Like light through a prism,
...

We all feel alone some days,
fretted with anger and emptiness.
What am I but this thing?
a victim of consequence.
...

‘You’d never think I’d end up here,
At any point in my life, ’
Clutching now her walking stick,
A bent and broken wife.
...

The bridge opens to you my friend.

The journey is long, bathed in light, you are now pefect.
Dont look back now, dont even shed a tear,
...

Where I live grows a tree,
It has seen eons, and is infinite,
But the moss has grown,
And the borish brown of age
...

Straddle love,
anesthetise love.
For it's never ending furies
tie up almost all
...

Sodden the messenger,
stings the pack,
fangs in as quick as the
arrow from his bow curves red,
...

This I know,
this I dread,
But this I'll know,
when I'm dead,
...
