Ryano ; , Poems

Show me who you are
Away from the daily monitor
Away with flashing cameras
Turn off the teleprompter
...

I've devoured my emotions
Instead of swallowing my pride
I've fed on the weak ones
& crawled in carcasses to hide
...

The last veined leaf of faith
Clings on branch end
Not thinking of the winter day
He falls away & dies
...

Walking by
My head turns in a double-take
& then I pause
...

Behind my eyes & fine veneer
Life's inches add up
Screaming loud & clear
Like microphone feedback through my ears
...

I balance thoughts
With a head heavier than legs
Walking through a bog
Where every trudge
...

Words are very simple
& nimble in flight
They're not the spoken language
Of zombies in the night
...

He stood upon a balcony
Three storeys high
Three scores to the wind
Under influence by
...

I lost my precious necklace
It fell somewhere & went astray
Days disappear in search
Of where the priceless present lay
...

I'm somewhere in the middle of everything
My mind amongst the clouds
All parted & cleft
Unable to tell if this left is right
...
