Legacy
In the end
The only things
I’ll leave behind
Will be the few memories
My children hold dear
An empty bank account
A pile of used junk
And
A few words
Immortalized upon the page
Waiting
For someone I never met
To misinterpret
This poem is from the book, ‘A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken’.

Foul Mistress Of Time
Release me
From these binds
Oh foul
Mistress of time
Let me
Deduce
The fountain
Of youth
The master
Crafts a puzzle
Then finds
The key
Sit and watch
The stone
To see
If it grows
We are born
A ticking clock
But die
A broken camera
The moment is
Only gone
When we
Fail to remember

Mere Imaginings
Almost everything
I remember
Of you
Are mere imaginings
Just the stories
Shared
Of a man
Long gone
Made real
By the desperate
Longings of a son
To feel
Something
Anything
For his father
Other than shame
My dwindling pride
Clinging
To the hope
That perhaps
You were once
Something more
Than the shell
You became
I tell them
I never knew that man
That those memories
Are not mine
Yet now
Those lies
They are all I have of you
Beyond the small scatterings
Of pain
I learnt to forget

Impact
When I die
What will be left of me
Beyond these words
And
The impact I have had
On others?
