the grave where buried love doth live

June 11, 2024 

People see things
People say things
Pulling petals from a rose
People try things
People hide things
They know everybody knows

People love things
People lose things
Drift away upon a breeze
People spill things
People kill things
Eyeballs swim in salty seas

People drop things
People break things
Shards and splinters fill the past
People shatter
People splatter
Like our dreams are made of glass

by Richard W. Bray

Fools and Fixations

June 6, 2024 

Slimy little courtier
Smiling in my face
Stabbing every back
Like you're running a race

Pain and addictions
Happy little fictions
Hiding in a story
Swearing you adore me

Lies and resentment
Bitterness and rage
Destruction distraction
The end of an age

Fools and fixations
Endless conversations
You cannot escape
What's in front of your face

Close your eyes and cloister your heart
Pretend away the hurt when things fall apart

by Richard W. Bray
