Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
A cougar from the mountain came
On padded paw she stalked her prey
When he came within striking distance
All was over in an instant
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
I walked through a town
That I once knew
Walked not drove
And that's how I knew

All along the side of the road
Bottles and cans strewn all around
Flattened cigarette packs,
General ******* and such
Stark reminders
Of those down on their luck

We drive past such things
Each and every day
We don't blink an eye
Nor do we say

Maybe that fellow
Could use a lift
It's pedal to the metal
And around all lifes corners

We drift.

Back to the happiness
My little pills bring
My heart was a'flutter
And now does it sting

Some things in life
Are just not meant to be
What will happen next
I'll have to wait and see
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
We started out nothing
And as nothing we shall end
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
Sometimes
I feel a fool
Things not  what they seem
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
My mind ebbs and flows
Like the perpetual tide
Sometimes towards darkness
Sometimes towards light

Where it lies now
That I don't know
maybe I will
with the dawn of tomorrow.
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
I must confess
As I undress
The sins I carry
I cannot bury

They haunt in the night
And even in the light
They follow close
But never are they seen

Save for me in my nightmares
And every time between

Will they ever leave me
There's only one who can say
I'm hopeful To meet him
On my last day
