Free Verse Poems

Midnight 

Walking along the sidewalk
dim moonlight
espying on his
gloomy face
hands in his pocket
half asleep
half awake
stars drift from the sky
grasping
onto his soaked black shoes
treading further and further
merging with the shadows
disappearing from sight
stars dance
in the shrill winter air
gently covering his
freshly made footprints
removing his last
existence 


Movement 

Panting Hard
Running full speed
towards
my house
I run my 
hand
Across my forehead
drenching my hand
full of sweat
A shadow is behind me
hasty movement 
and the jingle
of his keys.
I turn around
wondering
fast
swishes
send me crashing
down
cooper blood sliding
across my face
I have been caught 

 
Judgement Day 


I pray.
Waiting upon this desolate isle.
I cry.
Wishing for God to give mankind another chance.
Thinking about all my loved ones.
Disappear.
Quick, mysterious, alone.
I sold everything.
My clothes,
jewellery,
job,
happiness,
soul.
Im on a one road street.
No light to guide me.
Abandoned, alone.
Only God stands near.
Hovering.
Over my shoulder.
Then I know.
Everything is going to be alright.
I pray.




Family

 
I remember the days
When us three were together
living each day with ecstasy
and wishing each day would be the same

Wondering if anything could go wrong
and it did, our joy emptied from our cups
escaping our tight grasps
rambling down memory lane
I remember the days
when we were all together

But now, this thought has become a dream
A wish to be granted
I've come to believe
that all things happen for a reason
A reason that will shape my future life
