Mom

It's how we slip away
Little did we know
That you would one day
... leave us here alone

You were the most beautiful
we had ever seen
life was merciful
... you left no un-turned stone

Adrenaline

Emotion:
awaken shaken
blood in the eyes
hands in fists
... nausea,
urge to fly,

headache persists
war the norm
entire world shunned
communication, gunned ...

Into the pool surface
... he peers,
glimpses a normal world
just before it disappears ...
Adrenaline runs its course,
squinting in now bright light,
leaves him pondering its source.


Patrick Darnell

E.D.

Blush tone fleshed
renegade soul
hot love, hot head,
steam roller boy
hated by many
walks miles
on his heels
wears out soles
long before their time
he is pure green
Emotionally Disturbed ...
