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…
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
The ranks of the old
Move swiftly, gilded with gold
The ranks of the old
Cannot be sold
To any nation, for they stand alone
For any leader who dares try to attack, they have overthrown
Like gilded ghosts
They frighten most
They taunt the people
They take the steeple
The town will fall
The folk will call
For assistance and help
Shouting and yelping
Then the tide
Will sweep all to hide
Drowning and thrashing
Crashing and splashing
Pulled under and choking
All around people in peril, clothes soaking
Everyone will remember this day
When the ranks of old came ready to slay
Like a wave they stormed
Over the stars that formed
So many years ago
All will known
That the ranks of the old
Will triumph for all to behold…
The Pidgeon Apr 2021
The elements rage
Has been the fear of the people
Of what will happen next
The world seems hexed
The water roars
The wind soars
The fire blazes
The sky rages
As the earth crumbles
The ground rumbles
It seems there is no escape
But as the elements scrape
We realize they are just trying to be free
All is as it should be
Wait it out, they shall calm
There will be no bomb
The elements rage
Will not be caged
Forever uncontrolled
Forever untold
Stay away from the elements rage
For otherwise it will put you in a cage
Of everlasting plight
The wind’s might
The earth’s roar
The water’s war
The fire’s growl
The sky’s scowl
Upon the humans
Who put them into ruins…
The Pidgeon Apr 2021
Love is like a breeze
It flows in and brings you to your knees
Anytime you try to stand
You sink like the ground is made of quicksand
Sinking, sinking, down you go
Into the place where the birds crow
A melancholy tune
When you start to swoon
But when you do,
You are put in the queue
For everlasting aches
Of which your heart shall break
When you find your love
It lifts you like a dove
Out of this place
Where there will be no embrace
If you find your mate
I hope you’ll remember,
That all of us are stuck here with no end of December
Forever cold
Forever told
The stories of our plights
That will give you frights
This is no place for the forgiven
Only the misgiven
For if you stumble here
You will known not to come near
Because of us
The world is thus
In turn, everyone finds their way to this world
And all is lost and all is hurled
Right out of mind with all pleasant thoughts
All your hopes are in tight knots
All bundled away, forever gone
Forever dawn
Waiting for the soul
To crawl out of this hole
Of despair and darkness
Of blankness and starkness
Nothing is well
All is ill and do not tell
Others of this hole
That sweeps them down and tears their hearts
So stay away from this place of ****
It is very sour
So stay far from this hour
Where all souls go at some point
To find their joint
To help them find
Something that will bind
Them to the waking world
And away from this furled
Dimension of lost souls
So stay away or fall into the hole
Of despair and traps for the emotions
Like many oceans
Drowning and thrashing
Splashing and crashing
Away from the lasting land
Away from the lasting hand
Held out to help
But instead lets out a yelp
And draws back in fright
Of the waves might
Forever lost
Forever tossed
Left and right through the waves
Everlasting graves
Of those who were trapped too long
And gave up, their hearts go along
To live free with their souls
That were lost forever in this deep dark hole…
The Pidgeon Apr 2021
To be lonely
Is to be the only
In a world of nothingness
In a universe of emptiness
Forever dark
Forever stark
Void of emotion
Like an ocean
Drowning and thrashing
Pulled under trapped, splashing
Evermore in dull, lifeless turmoil
Hopes completely spoil
Whenever I fight,
Try I might
No success exists in this dimension of solitude
Fail and fail, all efforts subdued
No happiness whilst still drowning
In my own self, forever frowning
Lonely is not forever
For when one ignites the spirit whether
Dim nor bright, one is torn out of the world
Where all hope dies, all goodness hurled
Right out of this place
Where souls embrace
The ever growing feeling
Of no escape and no healing
From this everlasting destruction
Of one's construction
So as I sit here pondering
Where I could have been wandering
If I weren’t alone
I wouldn’t have been blown
So off course from my desire
My soul being thrown into a fire
Never to be seen again
By the bright sun to reign
My heart taken
We all died long ago forsaken
Desolate and bleak plains
Forced to wander, forever maimed
All this because of one soul that cast me here
So stay away, do not come near
For this is eternal separation
Igniting all frustration
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked Do Not Enter
The Pidgeon Apr 2021
As my heart aches
Falls apart and breaks
I feel at peace
My emotions cease
I exist in solitary
Forever wary
Of things to haunt me
As I nestle into to a fir tree
I felt broken
I felt stolen
By the girl who
Whisked my heart askew
As I stare into my despair
I tell you beware
Of the heartbroken world
That is worse than the underworld
Endless darkness
Endless starkness
Nothing to feel
Nothing to conceal
That nothing is worse
Than the broken heart curse
