Could Be Anywhere...

Outlaw Dawn

Sin all came crashin down, hard
love most ever known, even dreamed, dead.
Wee hours of darkest, coldest, winter night
alone, broken, crazy, out of head.

Gun barrel freezin to wet cheek
heavy metal shakin out lonely blues.
Twisted love poundin, tearin out the speakers
been here so many times, why it feelin new?

God whisperin to hold on til dawn
ain’t thinkin, can’t stand no more wait.
Filled with molten lava called sorrow
freezin out, insides burnin with hate.

Nother day, stoned cold, hatin
sick and tired o’ being sick and tired.
Pain, sorrow, alone...Ghost be talkin
history stayin, whether drunk or wired.

God whisperin again, won’t leave it alone
memories, seein a little boy a prayin.
was it me, nother night so long ago
hey speak up God,
i need to hear what you’re sayin...

You've painted a vivid picture of despair... Well done!

Hey Dan, I'm glad you posted this but it was posted before. I posted it for you under my screen name with credit in your name etc I think in Open POetry #1 or 2. Sometimes my brain feels like swiss cheese. Couldn't have anything to do with the 60's I wouldn't think..LOL Anyway I'm glad you reposted it. If you can find it it is under Outlaw Dawn and had some really neat replies to it. There was another you sent that I posted for you but I can't remember the name of it right now. Have to back up everything now. My new computer will be here in about an hour. Love you lots

Very powerful writing here.

 In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.

Just had to look at something titled "another stab at this" by "bleeding"....and I'm glad I did. This is a powerful, stark poem without frills. Good writing.
