The Pidgeon Apr 2021
A broken heart is hard to mend
Especially when you become a friend
To the one you would die for
The one who makes the heart soar
The crashing of the feeling
Can send one reeling
Into the void of no light no love
Like a dove
Loyally remain
The emotions of pain
But also love
Endless, bursting love
Love for the one who killed my soul
The one who reaped my goal
Of being together
With the one that matters most and is my treasure
Leaves me to ponder
Where her feelings have wandered
The Pidgeon Apr 2021
As I slink closer, I spot a flame
A flame of kindled love, tortured and maimed
The flame then flickers
Once then twice then the wicker
Catches into fire
As the flame roars and the fire grows higher
I run in fear of this growing disaster
But then I realize, the flames are warm, the heat is plastered
To my cold cold body, I slowly grow closer to the dancing flame
I may be recalled this moment as when the reality came
I have been found by my purpose, to be away from here
I’ll never forget how it felt to be so near
To death itself, and endless cold
I found my person, my hope, my gold
So if you find yourself here,
Get a special person to lend a hand quite near
To this world where lost souls go
Where we bend low
With self doubt and self hate
Brewing in anger and not quite great
So find your mate
And don’t brew your hate
Stay away
Far away from this world of which all betray
Goodbye; farewell
Do not dwell
In this land of ice and snow
The Pidgeon Apr 2021
As I sink into the snow
I feel like I should go
The cold is frigid
The margins are ridged
Of this world
Of snow and life hurled
Life exists in everlasting plight
Never giving time for hopes to take flight
Forever unforgiven
Forever misgiven
Given this story you may laugh and joke
But it is not for common folk
For only those who are lost and have been forewarned
To the waking world where there is light and warmth
No warmth, no breath
No hearth, but death
All hopes cease
To exist and all to please
This cold cold world
That ***** you under and hurled
All emotion far
Shall all those who land here
Be ever frigid and never come near
To others who have found themselves in this place
Of no dress and no lace
No earthly desires, only the memories of those loved
Shan’t exist evermore beloved
Kindled flames of love still live here
Glowing faintly so near
In the torrent of snow and ice
We are many but we are small; like a fox and mice
Like a lion and its prey
We lie in wait for the next day
When the sun will be fulfilled and we will find our purpose
And the hope of one who will set us free in earnest
Dwindles down to nothing and lifts us like a dove
But beware, for the concept of love
Is a dangerous thing
For it can break you
Or it can make you
So go forth, I have warned you, stay away from this winter
Run, run away from here, be a sprinter
Goodbye; farewell
Do not dwell
In this place of ice and snow
The place where you shouldn’t go…
