3 poems by Adam Levon Brown

Hollow
Drifting along the sea
of the emptied glass of
the psyche
 
Adorned walls
with neanderthal merchandise
push the barriers
of what is real
and what is not
 
Separate from
philosophy
but in tune with
the sorrow of
orphaned
Infants;
 
Crying from the hole
that is within, 
the hole that is 
The  heart





Quest

Darkness
All around
 
Hope filled searching
leads to dead ends
 
Multiplying the
pain of division
from past lovers
 
Mind numbing
Icicles of truth
assail
 
Seething spasmodic
soliloquy suspends
 
Vision returns




Memory of Petals

I watched you wither away
like an autumn leaf
on a cold winter night
 
I would have held you
closer, if I had known
what would happen to you
in those final days
 
I live in regret of picking
the most beautiful rose,
only to watch it die
long before its time
