Guilty by Association - Shawayne Dunstan
Descendant
I heard voices
When I was a child
They sung and screamed
These words to me
That I have somehow forged
Into the poetry that you see.
Passion
A thousand seconds
Condemned to silence as they tick away
No words are required
For actions portray our burning passions
For one another
The intoxicating heat that ignites from inside
Shared by two lovers
Isolated from peering eyes
Engulfed by darkness
Not a moment too soon
Passionate affection
Witnessed only by the moon.
The Beauty in the Struggle
I have the tendency to drink Hennessey
With frenemies who don’t want to see me achieve
"There’s beauty in the struggle
And we don’t want you to leave..."
Unfortunately that means a life of poverty and regret
I haven’t eaten in a week
Yet I’m still in debt
I refuse to remain stagnant
Along with all the others who’ve become Institutionalized
How to get a better life
Is what I’ve recently prioritized
Either I can sit back and watch as everything passes me by
In this fast moving life
Or I can think twice when they hand me the Ultimatum
For a suitable
price...
A Mind such as Mine
Enter a mind such as mine
And see what you find
In the meantime I’ll procrastinate
While you salivate
Over dreams that you’ll never achieve
