By Pessall Brook
The remnants of a myth
torn like sodden paper
A worker in the world of words
now where are your opus lines
where does your gilded poetry reside
A hooded figure
cloaked by Pessall Brook
looking for lighthouses
searching for the sea
O, how did you go
this far wrong?
Show me your pages
blackened with rhymes
your songs of tides
and ships to far away islands
Thunder clapping above

Alone and Lonely
If I had but a
Choice
To choose my fate
Farwell from this world
I'd rather drown
In the pool of tranquility
And die a peaceful death
Alone
Than be suffocated
Out of this lonlely life
Yearning for
Your lack of love.

Moon in the Morning Sky
So out of place
Yet so beautiful
Like the moon
In the morning sky
Losing its shine
And relevance
With the Rising Sun.

A smile
a smile is a heavenly thing
especifically on her face
not bothering anyone
she keeps them in place.
while his having no clue
glancing on her bliss comforts his heart
despite she being in blue
she never lets him to go apart.
from all those scenarios come in front
creates the will to make his pledge
they will be together as it was dreamt
dedicating his hea...

My rym
I had a glimpse of the shine,
couldn't recognize was it the right time.
after those stars were sigh,
Got brighter as you came by.
The glow rays of your warmth and light,
embraced them upon your sight.
wishpering the peace needed for my nights,
to step up again and fly those heights.
the rivers of your love continues to flow,
made me stronger with the presence y...

My angel
Some people believe there is a one,
The one who points your way to the sun.
A person they believe makes them complete,
The one who will support when facing defeat.
You are my angel, my one and only,
My forever love,
so we'll never be lonely.
You've brought to my life all your love and care.
It made me see when I realized how rare It is to meet your angel, or...

Close My Eyes
Sad at a bar. sitting on the deck. watching
boats drift by;
finished my grouper sandwich; sipping on my lemon water
wondering --
So close to your lips, how did I get so far away in your mind?
I told you a long time ago, you would never have to yell but
I do.
Today was a break,
after a break,
after a break. C...

Few Seconds at a time
It did indeed
Yes, you slipped away like a bottle of wine
And Taylor was right… you were never mine
Promised to another, but I took the risk
A knife that cuts deep, but you were a brick
You gave me what I needed, a few seconds at a time
But another had your whole, and that made me cry
Tears of joy a few seconds at a time
But as you fleed away, I had a hole inside
You we...

Till the end of the line
I have entered this new chapter of my life,
But it feels like the past is not so far behind.
I wish you were here to see the person who I have become today,
I wish you were here to tell me that it was going to be okay.
From seeing each other almost everyday,
To not having spoken to each other for over a year seems like hell.
I wish you were here to get me out of this mess,

The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my show," said a female stage medium. She was on the stage of a small theatre somewhere in Melbourne
"I am Kelly Anne Cross, I am here to entertain you tonight," said the stage medium.
"Hope she does well! It was nice your dad giving her his theatre for the night," said Liz Alexander the wife of the theatre's owner's son.
"Yes me too," said her husband Lance.

next door neighbor
You,
made me feel something
Something I've been trying to avoid for awhile now.
You,
made me feel safe.
Made me feel loved.
Made me feel like the only girl in the world
In your arms, no bad could happen.
In your arms, I was safe.
In your arms, I was loved.
This unfamiliar feeling made me uneasy
Made me doubtful
Made me question everythi...

Entreaties
Entreaties
My gums are bleeding again.
There’s a stack of papers that need attention
But I can’t find my glasses.
My truck is making that funny noise.
I sleep too late
Because no one wakes me.
I don’t write
I feel it’s all been said.
I find I’m repeating myself
No one takes me seriously
Your point’s been made:
I am selfish and fickle,
Say whate...

Enough
Michelangelo said the work of art awaited him beneath the slab of marble, merely for him to uncover it. In my own small way I understand that as I write these days. The poem I know is possible waits patiently at the other side across a murky divide and with luck and patience maybe I can reach it, reveal it.
Here is one I wrote about a barbecue years ago in the small town where I lived.

complications
Life is simple, yet complicated by seemingly insignificant moments that make all the difference in the end.
It is the unfiltered thoughts that escaped from our mouths in our weakest moments
It is the words that ruined relationships because we were too stubborn to apologise
It is the time that has passed between friendships in which too much has happened to reconnect
It is the memo...

Always.
Do you still think about me?
Am I one of your painful memories?
Do I cross your mind when you're all alone and trying to sleep?
I can say that all is the truth for me
I'm just a grain of sand and you are the sea.
You wrap around my brain until I can't fucking breathe.
Do you remember trying not to cry?
The day we finally said goodbye.
Feeling like we're alone but surrounded by a hundre...

I will be your moon
Let me move to a new place,
Where none knows my name,
And I know they will start judging,
As Everyone is just the same.
But till then ,
Let me find a new love,
New memories to let go my pain,
You can take my hand,
And please ask me to dance in the rain.
I know our love would break,
Just like all other affairs I had,
Some would say I had no brains,
And I am the reason you are sad,
B...

I'm Sorry
Why say I'm sorry
for something in which
you had no part?
Because, shallow as those
two words may seem...
the gesture plays
a pivotal role in
healing a broken heart.

Mundane
My insides writhe like pit of snakes
As my mind runs away.
It flees from my mistakes,
Made with good intent,
As fast as my ambition got me there.
Why does my ego tote me around like a child?
Why does it feel like I'm always being punished
By my mundane thoughts?
What am I doing?
Rotting.
I eat the snake.
I abandon my ambition.
I punish myself from now on.

Jail
He did wrong
One time, that was all she needed to prove her right
Forgave him on the outside
On the inside, he was concentrated
Their home became a jail
Not forgetting what seemed like yesterday
But years old
She sang the song, oh I forgive you
But reminded him
You are stuck with what you you’ve done
But, he asked you to forgive, as she did
He proposed hoping to st...

Awry
Alone, abandoned, overlooked.
I wake up to a never ending nightmare that I call life.
Insecurities and anxieties blare in as the alarm goes off.
Snooze. Snooze. It's all a ruse, I try to hit snooze in hopes to avoid the nightmare but in this terrible wake there is no snooze so I think, "What is there to lose?"
There's the mistake, don't think, do.
Overthinking leads to overanalyzin...

Red
My head is full of numbers,
my heart is full of dread
if I go from black to blue
all the rhymes
will come out new.
Red bleeds to yellow
and all the numbers are blue
the three comes in threes and
makes the nine incomplete and
the moon tells the secrets
I'm not meant to keep
it's a message of the future
and the past complete.
A half yellow star sharp
pierces my art.
The ...

I was young
I was young .. A simple statement that is the answer to many questions I am presented with
Why did you get drunk, and throw up in the hall way?
Why did you leave school, and truant all day?
How did you get pregnant, at just seventeen?
Why did you marry him, given what you had seen?
Doesn't it feel silly, divorcing already?
You're only 21, doesn't your life seem so craz...

rudely interrupted
It is the assumption that people tend to reflect and contemplate in the dawn of the night
When noones awake to hear the sorrow in your sobs
When it's too dark to see the weakness in your eyes
And your lonliness enables your imprisoned vulnerability to surface
But what happens when this negativity suddenly seep its way into the happenings of your everyday life
When these mor...

Humans & Poets
We are human
And poets
Humans make mistakes
Poets own their faux pas
Endearingly on paper
Making us a uniquely
Fucked up bunch of individuals
