hypnotic voice
mystic eyes
this pining soul
of mine is crying
restless nights
an empty bed
my heart sinks
ol' demons dread

When the witching hour lasts all night long and despondency is sweet relief

Share Loneliness (haiku)

let's share loneliness
an insatiable hunger
and an empty plate

5-7-5

My Broken Soul

the tide's awash
the beaches fresh
i surf on thoughts
a tangled mesh
my lonely church bell
tolls and tolls
brief respite to
my broken soul

There are times when one feels hurt and lost. This is one of those times.

Unholy Alliance

briny tears
emotions sear
scars may fade
but wounds abrade
my present in unholy alliance
with its teary past

Catharsis tears childhood present

Ode To Integrity

say what you mean
mean what you say
a simple truth
a child can weigh
spare yourself words
and "emotional" spin
for when you rationalize
your ego's kicked in

Integrity

Timothy Ward Sep 2016

The Abyss

a beautiful child
beaten
grows up
a broken adult
looking for love
in all
the wrong places
still scared
still shaking
ceaselessly filling
an empty
void
