Remember Me

Remember me

As I walk through the ash

Left behind by the shadows of men

In the footsteps of strangers

Innocent of all evils

Remember me

Let not my memory fade

As the faces have throughout the years

Be it known, the sacrifices of all

To which we must never forget

Remember

For when we forget

Mistakes of the past are repeated

The memories are too far faded

And again, we fight in the shadows

Remember me

Do not leave me to lie in vain

A ghost, nameless and forgotten

War is hell and hell is undeserving

For any soul

The Rogue

Photo by Kim Dowson

The stunted growth of the sly one.

With closeted tales and fragile truths.

An exiled self, born of imitation.

Nefarious concoctions to feed off the faithful.

With a gluttonous appetite of egoistic rule.

A deviant, serving of no one.

The unworthy sleep here at the door.

While the heavy weep and crawl the floor.

Betrayed of promise and aid once more.

Under foot their bones snap and splinter.

No truer a rogue could be devoid of distinction.

A truculent infantile of the most horrendous.

Impeded by apathy and hostile.

Reclamation

Photo by Kim Dowson

Steady the course.

Through crushed green and dirt I creep.

Searching for a way in.

Faithful to my true.

It calls me back with hardly a notice.

Quick to fill and swallow.

I’m merciless.

Stealing all that lies before me.

Banishing it to the darkness.

My rage grows.

Callously wasting earth as I hasten.

Nothing can stop me.

Fate called me here.

To reclaim a home that once was.

A home that is to be once again.

Replenished.
