Book Promotion - Honeysuckle Memories - #9

 Acceptance…

The future and its viewless things,

That undiscovered mystery.  Will

We feel death’s lifeless wings.

No one wants these ending things,

If so, it would be a lie.  I hide behind

Curtained windows to keep the

World from seeing my dying eyes.

My face bathed in the dew of morn,

Before me the snowy landscape

Spreads.  This is the world in which

I was born, the world which will be

Gone from me when I am dead.

Sick of this wasted body, the mortal

Strife, the pain of taking a breath.

Now sorrow is the course of my life,

My soul combats with death.

I pray for calmness within me, please

Let it grow, before my wilted spirit must

Go.  Life is beginning to be all too clear,

I am not afraid, for soon I will be gone

From here.

Beyond the Voices...#7

 

Black Gallows…

Is it a dream that I  feel free among the cool woodland

foliage,  The river murmurs to me of desire as with Pan and

Dionysus in the Greek satyrs.  It is pleasures that they bring,

like dragonflies threading through the woods to sing.

 

In the wine of daylight willows shiver and quiver along the

long black river.  In the evening the breeze delights the

earth, before the hell-red sky disappears with the setting

sun.  I no longer felt myself as shadow flowers gleaming in the

scented twilight.

 

The black gallows moaned near the calm black water, its

scaffolding embroidered with black moss and the silence

of my eternal voice sounded endless as…I hung there.

A Sachet of Poetry....#5

 

A collection of poetry created from tiny fabrics of life. These poems characterize the thoughts of innocence sold into a false world of adoration. Living in silence, God did not keep this innocence from hell, and death would be a long way off and life was between the now and then. Ahead lay sacrifice, pain, and suffering. Life should be fruitful; the human life produces scenes of public, private distress and anger springs forth with hate and blood. Mortally led to the mysterious world of knowing the fist is not love, it is the slaughter of innocence. Innocence institutionalized because of disobedience, failing to comply with and act upon the orders of their controller, the answer asylum. Reality embedded within the soul of innocence, no future, no meaning to life. Innocence in truth wants and dreams of death; these are the true aspirations of the abused. Ann Johnson-Murphree Poetry Books – Collections of Exposé Poetry are coffee table books 8X11 that will display well in any area. The matte cover is classy and inviting.
