[hometext] => In all the dark poetry I write, I am drawing on my experiences as a Law Enforcement Officer and receiving ideas from what others have actually said to me over the years! I am a happy go lucky guy who just tries to convey the anguish of others in verse
[bodytext] => I often gazed into your eyes. I used to love this great delight. They shone and sparkled brightly But were a dark pool into your soul. I saw love there within the depths With my reflection facing me. Could you see you within my eyes On the way into my heart? But recent days and months and years Have seen the fading of that light. A glazing has overtaken them. As if sobriety escapes your grasp. Your speech now slurred beyond belief When once you had command Of language, thoughts, and every facet Within your social structure. Bloodshot and watery with dark circles Those eyes now often shut, While on the highways driving, A danger to self and others. Many trips to many doctors For prescriptions every day. You pick a new one daily, But you cannot fool them all. You are an ADDICT Damn You! And you’ve cheated us our future. I want to gaze into the eyes That once controlled my soul!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
