Projected
Shades projected on a wall by searing brightness A row of lipsticks, twisted open in shades of red Miniature missiles show all that’s left of us, less Broken city, no Rosetta stone marks sacred dead See more of my creative offerings at: Philip Brent Digital Art Brent Harris Fine Art The Extra Mile Art, shirts […]
Misunderstanding
Any who think we’ve only this chance Fear eternal damnation; you toe the line Seeds of limitation sown you shall reap Must you choose to drag the rest down So do the impossible, at least once a day This doesn’t have to be before breakfast Laugh out loud and a joke’s power steal Smile at […]
Next
In the wee small hours at noon one day I turn on darkness; the sky grows bright That night I polish the sun so it gleams Each thing I do, simply because of you I walk the widest ocean to swim uphill Turn myself inside out, if you love me Smash time’s hourglass, so please […]

Bartholomew Matthew
Bartholomew Mathew Cannot decide Tangled in social metaphor Smiling snide remarks Too knowing asides Yearns for freedom From his shabby garret His plush penthouse Can he escape Fly away Will he try Ensnared in darkness His shadow’s umbra Anticipates crisis Steps and turns Life’s dance marathon His daily rumba Sudden, explosive Will he be Still […]
