Strange Wishes by Walter Jones

Willful site

Burning fear

lives in the

ground

Nary a tear is found

Singing voice

screams out,

fleeting pleasure

from the high

gobbles up

the sound

Old shout is bound

Silver moon escapes

from a burning bed

like embers

in the wrath

of a child screaming

in his head

Evil is dread escapes instead

For days and years

he plays with this sound

a crying disciple of goal

Burns free in the pyrite bowl

The love

that is neverfound

his path is riddled

with anguish

just on the

other side

Selfless dove dies from pride

Few if any can

resolve the hatred

buried inside

a troubled life

Flames fan the knife

Death that is

played its song

early in his life

took more than

the child

it also took

his wife

Sold as his all their strife

Shallow shell

of life filled

form moves

from day to day

in the more or less

he hears the word

she never will say.

She plays the fife even today

Marker in the dead

cemetery burns

a hole inside

he walks the path

between

sanity and pride.

Feelings feed still they hide

Hand in hand

wander each

in hell lived

sorrow screams

in night sweats

soft kisses he gives

Ponder visions yet they live

Dawn leaves

nightmares in

their place

but the pain

anguish take

their place.

Deceived by the human race

Each step one that is forced

each day

a monument to grief.

Guilt rides a never

ending ‘what if’ excuse

All thought gives over use

That cries out

internal damnation

Flames burn

the soul from inside out

Journal records without

Days turn around in his bed

he sees her but she makes not a sound.

Dead is the cry found

Candles lit soft prayers

escape lips

the couple moves forward

all the smiles and well wishes

Just a turn about sweet kisses

Return to their hell

on the street,

more children buy the gift

of a life they try to escape

just a pawn it is too late

Cannot measure up

to the expectations

the drugs their life takes

He leaves her sleeping at home

Blows out his brains
