Throwback Thursday Poetry: When the Wind is Lost

when the wind is lost
searching for time
trapped in the frost
the sun wont shine

it is a place
the dead men can find
life is not safe
with a man’s mind

within the snow
no one can stand
all that is not so
has now began

we will not rest
the search goes on
for what is left
and all that is gone

when the wind is lost
the dead men can find
all that is not so
and all that is gone

Early poetry from James. From the poetry collection Pariah Bound: The Lonesome Poetry.

Tuesday Poetry: Breathe

Breathe – just breathe – 
The panic will pass
The thoughts will pass
Everything will be okay
If you just take a breath
And think of your happiest memory
Or even a fantasy – 
Just breathe – 
Move around
Distract yourself
Stay busy
And stop the darkness
From consuming you – 
Inhale – exhale – 
The darkness never lasts forever

From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.

Poetry Monday: Consider the Future

Sitting in a coffee shop
Writing on a notepad
Sipping glorious bean water
Feeling destroyed but also numb
I don’t want to be here anymore
And there’s nowhere to go
All exits lead to other
Places I don’t want to be
I sip the bean water
I write the words
Life continues around me
Without me
My contribution to the
Human condition goes ignored
Will they remember it
When I’m dead

From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
