Abyss

There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Abyss “When you gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you” -Friedrich Nietzsche According to Merriam -Webster’s English Dictionary, depression is defined as, “ A psycho neurotic or psychotic disorder marked especially by sadness... inactivity, ......

Lover's Leap

Nothing is darker than a black hole; nothing gives more light than love.

LOVER’S LEAPby Curtis James McConnell I tell you now, it is love which binds us. Using simple blackhole physics, we shall prove this. Whether you are too cool, manly, cynical or intellectual to believe this, it is so. It is love which binds us. It binds u...

Carried Too Long

Been there, done that, dare not go back!

Allowing myself to misplace reality's grip.Dwelling yet again in the past, feeling dismay.Into the bottomless depths of darkness I slip.Why could life not have been a different way? Trying to regain clarity, not where I want to be.Descending to the abyss,...

Warmth of Light

Leaving immortality

I was created for the dark, yet I often wonder what else this universe has to offer. I’m not allowed into the light. My grandmother tells me stories of what it feels like to break the night with golden rays. She taught the light how to whispers to the dar...

Morning sky cloaked in grey Warmth not felt from the start Like a mind in disarray Feelings cold in the heart Psyche constrained gone astray Sun's warmth blocked Just like an errant soul In darkness locked Unable to view the whole Has the sun vanished The...

Waiting

Don't give up, let's soar together again.

My friend's soul I feel has been invaded. Paranoia taking over, their vision shaded. This person that I feel coming out right now.Is a stranger to me, foreign, different, Wow! Seeming to attack in disbelief, at every turn.Truth not heard, bridges now tryi...

“Hey, turn that overhead light back on, can't you see I'm trying to read here? “Oh, don't be a silly goose, there's a table lamp right next to you there that should give you plenty of light, John.” “Yea, maybe if I was a coal miner it would, but I'm tryin...

Confession

Sometimes it take cries in the night to interrupt a long held silence.

Nobody said it would be easy. She just didn’t expect it’d be this hard. The clock ticks the hours, the minutes, the seconds, and with each passing minute of daylight, she sighs deeply and braces for the screams. Her husband’s arrival carries with it simul...

Lifeless Stencils

A window that yearns for a ray of light

A pitiful act, a devious plan The play of the mind, a simple question Where to be now, at this moment? It seems like something odd or naive, maybe Yet that thought drives dreams and create nightmares Lightness that thrives and darkness that pierces the so...

Pledge

I stand tall....

Darkness swirling around me, I see facets of human I would rather they not exist A young woman gang raped, brutally beaten Thrown away not so much like garbage naked. She fought to survive, doc fought with her Her last word were “I want to live” The Girl...

Since the dawn of timeBefore poets learned to rhymeThey have remained together yet apartFighting for supremacy in every being’s heart.One is dark like the night,Whose first instinct is to fightThe other is bright like the starsWhose light shines from afar...

Wrote this yesterday. I'm working on my first book of poems, and this'll probably end up in it.

5 days ago, the world ended 5 days from now, the year will 2 days ago, Lucy left 2 days from now, I’ll get over it Yesterday was a Roman holiday Tomorrow, I have to go back to work Today, I took the day off anyway To celebrate my survival. 20 years from n...
