Dark Path

My Failures

My failures visited me last night Looking all troubled and inferior In its hands held five cola-nuts, A bottle of wine, and a drum. He looked miserable and fatigued.

Heavy Heart

I would rather You silently lend me A small boat So, I can paddle And sail far away Get lost and fade Out of exhaustion Than to look out For a keeper Of this heart For it has become Too heavy to be kept. ©2022 Voice_of_the_Pen
