Shadows following, as I walk down the street.
Glaring eyes, from the people I meet.
A chill runs from my neck to my feet.
I can't run from this feeling, a maze of deceit.
The dark man appears in my dreams each night.
Chasing me down to a cliff, we fight.
A thousand bones resting on the shore below.
Crashing waves, A crying wind blows.
Awaken to a pool of sweat.
I tried to live my life with no regrets.
But the dreams we shared and put in a box.
Lies broken, scattered, our lives of dust.
The horse I road, so tall with pride.
Infidelity, conceit, beneath the lies.
Broken promises, selfishness, collide.
Left little room for our love inside.
An accidental fall as you tried to leave.
Casts a giant shadow, as nobody believes.
Violent words spoken, I can't retrieve.
Memories of us and how it used to be.
Now its plane to see, I'll lose this fight
As no-one succeeds, against the dark man.
For the dark man, is who we were meant to be.

Poetry: Guilt
by Kat Apf
I'll feed you
homemade mashed potatoes,
one spoonful at a time
until you say
you feel the comforts
of home.
I'll read you

[Innocence Condemned]
12:00 o clock is the start but the way it will end,
my sorrowful condolences for the innocent condemned,
by Roy Blokker
I cannot move, I cannot act,
I cannot think, I cannot write.
I am the pebble plunked
Into the Irish Sea,
The monsoon washing
Knowing I'm wrong
for all I've done
I'm feeding my guilt once more
Knowing I've lied
and made you cry
My guilt devours my own
GUILT
You think I don't feel it
Your wrong I'm a ruined mess .....
Yet I can't come forward
I can't deal with the consequence.....
