Ronald Speight Poems

At the foot of my city hall lay stairs to nowhere
My city hall holds flags that have lost meaning
It’s become a place for bureaucrats to lay waste in my city
No open doors for citizens so where do I go
...

She says she loves Him
He says well I love you more
She asks Really?
How much more?
...

When I place them in my ear
They become my escape
From the world’s ignorance
Pain, and strife
...

Do I continue or cease
The pressure felt has collapsed
Me the body of a young man
With soul in his mid forties
...

Nothing is stronger than the spoken word
Except for maybe the words that
I lay down before you on this paper
Words that can cause intense passion
...

I gave her my all
Placed her wants over my needs
Dropped everything at the
Sound of her call
...

I praise for the next day
To forget about last
To repent for days past
For sin is known to man
...

I wander around plains
Looking for a message
A word to learn
One to give, to recieve
...

I walk the world as a man with multiple scars
Wounds that can open at the slightest touch
Ones that will never heal
I carry a burden known to many
...

I cry for and island to relieve me
From a storm to much
Far too much for one man
I’m only but a man
...
