2014 NaPoWriMo Day 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 & 30

Day 25 - Where Were You


I hate this,
me being too scared
to ask you the questions I desperately need to ask.
You're being cruel.
I don't know if it's intentional or not.
You're all openly discuss Her and the money
you all received from the Estate,
all clearly knowing I got fuck all.
You know my current financial situation
nor do you know my side of the story
about what happened between Her and me.
There is three sides to this story -
Hers, mine and the truth.
Not one of you ever bothered
to ask me my side,
therefore thinking she is justified
in cutting me out of Her will.
I didn't deserve that
and then to have your new wife
tell me how great a person you are,
how big your heart is
and how you give all you have got to help,
to love.
And in my head, as I nod numbly
at this statement was...
Where were you for me these last five years?
Where were you when I was ignored and dead to you?
Where were you when my life turned to an all consuming hell?


Day 26 - Breakfast Run


Strong wind buffeting helmets,
hands clenched tight to sissy bar,
winding curves, leaning too far.
Best ride in too long.


Day 27 - Family Ties


Family relationships when broken
need to be fixed.
Blood is key,
ties that
bind.


Day 28 - Gargoyles


Our friends made of stone,
silent watchers of the day.
The dark brings new life.
Brothers and friends, innocent
creatures we have lost to time.


Day 29 - Go Green


Angelic creatures
who roam this dying planet
to fight a battle
they are constantly losing,
good souls dying for the light.


Day 30 - We Wish You Well


Farewell my Friends,
I bid you Adieu.
The world has changed,
becoming a chaos we cannot manage.
We have ravaged and wasted,
destroyed and mistreated
the landscape that surrounds us.
We have poisoned everything -
water, air, earth, animals, lives and souls.

Farewell my Friends,
I bid you Bon Voyage.
The world has changed,
becoming a wound we cannot heal.
We have sold our humanity
with greed and corruption.
Our civilised ways have destroyed
families, friendships, tribes, all people,
creating a 'me and I' concept of thinking.

Farewell my Friends,
I bid you Arrivederchi.
The world has changed,
becoming a wasteland we must regrow.
So we ask those that do not care
to kindly enter the dome before you
where you will be serenely gassed,
so that we may fix the planet we have ruined.
My Friends, we wish you well.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 21, 22 , 23 & 24

Day 21 - Heaven and Hell

Living on this Earth
is Hell with Heaven sometimes
around the corner.

Day 22 - Unsure
I am unsure of
how to handle this
situation we
are in. I am still
unsure where we stand.

I still do not
know your motives.
Be they true or
are you playing?

I hope you
are trying
to amend,

answers
I seek.

Unsure.

Day 23 - Uninspired
Writing every day
I am finding it harder,
my muse disappears
for long periods of time,
returning when life is hell.

Day 24 - The Beast Inside

This world is one storm after another,
where the calms are few and far between.

We tiptoe around the office,
me wishing you were rotting in hell
while you treat me like I don’t exist.
We’re emotional storms,
circling each other,
sucking in our co-workers,
unwilling, forcing them to choose sides.

You’re cold, distant, barely leaving a trail
compared to my volatile, angry outbursts.
People cower in my wake,
suffering quietly through my rages.
All because you didn’t have the balls
to do what you needed to.

They know you now for what you are.
You’re no longer the old school gentleman
in their eyes.

All you are is the Bastard
who broke a Woman
and woke the Beast inside.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 9

Work is Hell

 

These days I lose both
my mind and my temper on
a daily basis,
putting up with too many
ID-ten-tees. I hate it.

 

Between the ass kiss-
ers and the lazy co-work-
ers, no wonder I
live on rescue and headache
tablets. I should invoice them.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 5

Deserve Better

We said our goodbyes
but the sight of you each day
hurts me a little
more each time, more than what I
suffered when you broke my heart.

 

You broke me in more
ways than one –heart – spirit –soul.
In your eyes, I no
longer exist. I deserve
better, you immature ass.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 2

Death of the Nordics


For nine long days did
Odin, the all father hang
upside down from the
Yggdrasil, Tree of Life, to
learn all knowledge of the runes.


Thor, beloved son,
the mighty giant slayer,
wielded his hammer
Mjollnir, wearing iron gloves
in his goat led chariot.


Loki, a lost son
of the frost giants he was.
Loki, a brother
to the warrior Odin.
Will bring all worlds to their knees.


Huginn and Muninn,
Odin's thought and memory,
their flight through all worlds
is the reason he knows all,
but he fears they won't return.


Valkyries, riders
of the bloody battlefields.
They choose for Odin
his guests in great Valhalla -
bloody crows guiding the slain.


All Loki's children
imprisoned for all of time -
Sleipnir - Odin's steed,
Jormungandr and Hel,
Fenrir - killer of Odin.


A broken friendship
will set the worlds on fire
and the skies to ice.
Ragnarok will come to be -
bringing the death of all gods.

2013 NaPoWriMo Day 19

Love Me?

The rain follows me,
showing the world all the hurt
I carry inside.
Falling drops of pain engulf.
Did you mean those words of love?

You said you loved me.
I want to believe you but –
this rain cloud of hurt
follows me, growing my doubts.
Will you always be around?

2012 NaPoWriMo Day 17

Count the Stars

Staring at the sky,
thinking of you and me to-
gether joined by love
but are forever apart.
Do you also count the stars?

2013 NaPoWriMo Day 12

Flawed

My fortress crumbles
around my feet. You have seen
my anger, my shame,
my past insecurities.
Truly, are you not flawed too?

2013 NaPoWriMo Day 11

Dark Day

The sun rises – westward
facing – driving the night a-
way – black into blue.
And I wonder what darkness
of the soul the day will bring.

NaPoWriMo Day 11

Burning Books

Leather spines crackle
heat engulfs, thin pages crinkle -
as the flames tickle
at these precious books that teach
about love and hate and war
