Me Three

By Conrad Pierce

Stone like a statue, grave like concrete.
Weather stricken, heart still ticking.
Skin as a tree, rough as bark yet ready to fall.
Engulfed in the soil, cold blood could never boil.
Scars dark as oil, reminiscent of a time past.
Trees as the cover, estranged to any other.
Before the stoned statue, much before the time asked you.
Another face as crowd, not saying much just yelling loud.
Fire behind the motives, replaced as the times in mind.

Another Route

By Conrad Pierce

Trouble abound, I see you all around.
I sleep to die, I wake to sleep
I want to cry, but I cannot weep.
I pray the lord holds my soul to keep.
I avoid you but you forever creep.
It's hell on earth, so I've been told.
Such a cynical view, but it's the one I hold.
And if not the final fire, it's at least a flame.
The sin is contagious, like a deathly plague.
Nobody listens to reason, it's the reason I beg.
For them to take another route, this path leads to death.
Here I am dyeing and nobody's left to care
No reason to live, my life is a night mare.
Thoughts were as a bulls-eye, now scattered in disarray.
My body aches as if I've lived a life time.
Contrary to how I look, my life is a rhyme.
Other than these pages- I've got little else to show.
Forget what you learned here, and go back to the one you know.

Ally

Eyes as an island, they leave me stranded and bewildered.
Lips as a mime, they leave me speechless and wondering.
Voice as an eagle, leaving me glued to the sky.
