The Abyss of Loneliness

I haven't shared any creative writing or poetry in a while... so i thought I'd share one :-)

I wrote this several months ago now when I was feeling a bit lonely as I think we all sometimes do. It's kinda funny how you can be surrounded by people who love and support you and yet still feel all alone sometimes.

And; NO this was not inspired by Cruella ;-)

The Abyss of Loneliness

The silence deafens me as I stare into the abyss...

the abyss of loneliness...

It beckons me with voices and visions from the past...

At last...

my dulled senses begin to burn with the pain of loss...

my cross...

I grasp for the illusions created in my mind and in my soul...

the hole...

I fall into the abyss... the abyss of loneliness

When Will My Life Be Sound?

OK... One more poem and then it's back to story time!

When Will My Life Be Sound?

Sometimes I lay awake at night
my mind just will not stop

Hopes & Dreams, Regrets & Fears
my head's about to pop

There is a reason why I'm here
of this I do believe

My past has made me who I am
yet still I can't conceive

Just why my trials keep coming
they never seem to end

Perhaps they make me stronger
perhaps they are my friend

Or is it that they teach me
or do they fuel my wrath

I try to hurdle every tree
that falls across my path

But yet I feel I'm in the air
more than I'm on the ground

When will I find the answers
When will my life be sound

I've got a good one planned for you next time, possibly the one you've all been waiting for but I guess we'll have to just wait and see... I don't want to build it up too much :-)

Life, Love & Pain (Thanks For Reading)

This was my very first attempt at poetry and really, I guess creative writing in general, almost three years ago now. My inspiration was quite obviously the same as it is for this blog so I thought that I would share my crude and humble beginnings. I don't know how much better of a writer I have become but I do enjoy it and will continue to try to keep my new found readers reading. I thank you all for taking the time to visit and read. Thanks to those of you that have visited my "sponsers", and of course, thanks for your comments. They definitely keep the posts fun and interesting :-)

Life, Love and Pain

My player days have long since past

I thank the lord they did not last

Sometimes I miss the fun I had

‘cause no those times were not all bad

I learned some things about my life

I settled down I found a wife

And yet my wife she could not see

The kind of man I longed to be

I gave my all let down my guard

And evil grew in my backyard

I had to do what I knew right

Forget my fears and fight the fight

I had to right the wrongs she’d done

For I was not the only one

Our world became a total mess

My children’s lives were filled with stress

So when you judge me know this well

That I would face the hounds of hell

I will protect the ones I love

Yes I will push and I will shove

I’ll face the beast with shoulders back

Be poised and ready for attack

Yes I could be your truest friend

For with my life I will defend

That what I know to be the truth

I have been learning since my youth

To be a man who all respect

To live a life that won’t be wrecked

I put my faith in God above

And know that I can still feel love

Little Ones

I wrote this almost three years ago, not too long after Cruella and I split up. The kids seemed to be more relaxed and actually happy that she was gone which, to a certain extent, concerned me. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago and other times it feels like yesterday. We've come a long way since then, but I still worry about them and I guess I always will.

Little Ones

Lord, I thank you for my children…

These little ones I keep…

They make me laugh…

They make me cry…

They wake me when I sleep.

They are such a precious gift from you…

My words cannot explain…

How I can feel…

Their anger…

Their pleasure…

And their pain.

I need your help to mold them…

Teach them…

Help them grow.

Please don’t let me fail them…

They need me…

As you know.

I hope you don't mind me getting a little "mushy" every once in a while. We'll get back to the horror stories real soon I promise!
