The Last Fight | Chris Byrne - Appreciate Language and Form through the Best Contemporary Poetry

The Last Fight | Chris Byrne

When you hide behind the trees.
Seeing the forgotten plains slowly
remembering the green fields
wanting to forget never to remember.
Never seeing the wood for trees
losing the battles, yet never the wars
making a last stand seeing the trees
standing alone doing what’s right.
Never doubting the strength within
rising high above seeing the trees
for the worth they have realising
the self doubts were just that.
The last fight the last fears
last battle within is over never
ending wars within the battle
has been won but the war
continues to fight another day.

Little by little,
we will turn into stars,
little by little,
we will turn into the infinite universe
little by little,
we will spin in eternal ecstasy,
hand in hand,
pure love that flows.

Irony of Rains… | TheAPwrites

While the half is drown,
And half dry is frown,
Half facing a scarcity,
Half suffering from availability,
Half is waiting impatiently,
Half is out due to plenty,
On half it’s flood,
On half it’s dead bloods,
Somewhere hope to dry,
Somewhere tears dry,
Some are tensed to low,
Some are waiting for flow,
Why is it so, don’t know,
Answer we all know.

From the sky
evaporation ponds
dissolve into
prehistory
cave painting on
desert landscape
blues and whites
sewn-together shapes
so strange
against the orange and greys
of this artistry
this topography
lead-grey roads
curve round pond
panes of stained glass
clear and exact
nearby mesa rises
like a staircase
only from high
can man be seen
an editor
he is always
erasing and
redrawing
the art
already here

Love and the Speed of Light Squared | Ralph Monday - Appreciate Language and Form through the Best Contemporary Poetry

Love and the Speed of Light Squared | Ralph Monday

- Leave a Comment

In trying to find a relationship between love, energy,
mass, and the speed of light squared,
the discovery was made that love is the inverse
property of money, nature, particular seasons.
All an illuminati conspiracy.
Light can never be shed on these
as they are always bouncing through
the dark,
like pool balls on sheets of muddy ice.
